must've been the reverse cowl on the hood. forced too much air in.
















man, that sucks. a couple weeks after I had my car, the intake cam came loose and my timing belt fell off...I bent a few valves too. :a:

What?? You did the hard part yourself. Well, valve spring's can be a bitch but still. Hope you get your car back soon, that sucks!

I don't understand the "mini me" terminology. h:

i only like the headlight eyelids when it matches the hood and fender together... its supposed to give the impression that the headlight is slimmer, not like something was stuck onto the headlight randomly.

those m3"style" side mirrors with led signals are whack. :down:

i dont like those style of vented hoods on cars that arent flat.

those fake black housing headlights and corners cheapen the car.

the rest of the car isnt thaaaaat bad, although i would change the front lip and drop the car a bit more on stock unpainted integra wheels.


oh, good luck and hope u get your car running soon h:
