here is interior pic dont mind iphone quality...
i think it looks good but im not 100% satisfied with outcome...
installed also MAF oil catch can and ETD stiffy
not sure if its hooked up properly if its not then let me know ;p
still need to wrap the shifter
im still waiting for XLR8 mounts its kinda stupid to install ETD without mounts but i had to do something because i can not drive a car with engine mounts like this

Liking the console woods.
Are you doing the panel woods too ?
I would do the whole dash bezel from the pics that stuff looks like it comes out nice.
I never saw any in person before.

normally the PCV is on the back valve cover and not the front one....
along with the catch can hooking into the rear port, which is the one that normally allows the oil into the manifold; the "front" one just allows freash air into the crankcase (but a little seepage does occur, but minimal though, and mainly only happens when you shut a hot motor off, when those oil vapors go up that tube, and just kinda collects near the inlet in the intake
also is that the house expanding foam stuff i see on that mount lol

it was cheap homedepot poly urethan that i pured into a front mount and let it dry for three weeks and after two days it came out of it...
as of ETD i love this thing already! car feels like a rocket during the shifts

i was thinking about it but i think i will just paint it black. thanks
does it make it different ? size of the hoses allowed me to do it only this was since the front port is a bit bigger and rear one is smaller diameter

kinda does, because 99% of the oil gets into the manifold through that back port
lol, just looks like that expanding foam shit
as far as the stiffy, yeah it makes quite a bit of difference, but with a good clutch still not enough though (mine is the hardest it will go
) (it was more then enough for the auto though, but then again i only drove on it for a couple of months with the auto still in)

btw the PCV is a metered orifice for the vacuum to flow through (so yes if you plug that hose on the front it will build the same amount of vacuum, because air is not being allowed to flow in as per the design)
and as far as the braille battery, will the car stay a daily driver? especially during the winter? cause i know their performance/charge does drop off faster then a normal battery when it starts getting really cold out
might even look into a group 51 battery like the civic/rsx/crv has, it about half the size of the stock battery (which considering how cold it gets there possibly in jersey may still not be enough on those cold days IDK)

saving 20-25lbs for 150$ is a great opportunity since i have to change the battery anyway...
they are 475 CCA and 640 CA
http://www.braillebattery.com/index....teries/b2317/#
but i see the mounting may be different

I am thinking more of durability and the group 51 batteryis normally in the 26 lb range iirc,so yes lighter then stock
BTW interstate batteries last like an average of like 5-7 years if not more here, so hard to complain about the durability of the lead acid battery

It was actually cracked on the top edge for a long time and was leaking water then it starts to become darker. I didn't like it. Then i decided to buy a tint spray and tint the red part of it. I wanted to clean it first with paint thinner and it cracked like crazy while i was looking at it. I saw a thread in BM localy and picked up new set. This one im selling because i simply dont need two pairs, still someone can use it but i didnt like the way it looked.

Oddysey $90-$150
DEKA spec sheet
http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-31935...ase%2F0278.pdf

6mt swapped..smart
It's already kinda too much imo, but if you like it that's all that matters. I would have left some of the brushed faux aluminum unwrapped for some contrast. Looks too dark

Burning Brakes
...and an RSX steering wheel. (I just realized a couple weeks ago, after owning the CL for 3 years, how huge the stock steering wheel is)
edit: didnt realize you have an MDX steering wheel, how does the circumference compare to the stock CL?

I think it looks great. I have my center console trim and shift plate wrapped as well. Looks way better in person. I'm really thinking about the steering wheel now.

Dont wanna spend that much on car now.
I think i like Stock steering wheel. For me RSX doesnt look right in the CL interior but when u swap the rsx seats to its okay.
I think you should hold up a litle because its been a week since wraped it. And im not sure how it will react on the heat in the summer. its tough to wrap the wheel you have to strech it alot. Im affraid it will come off. Di Noc is also slippery and i dont think you want that on the steering wheel.

I think Autozone axles are lifetime warranty. I got mine from Advanced auto parts. They seems ok.
When I did my TB job, I also replaced auto tensioner and crank seal and cam seals. I didn't have to replace cam seals, but I knew it's gonna bugging me if I don't replace them. just picky
I like carbonfiber look!
