Oh ya and the battery is in the trunk and powersteerings lines moved.... The only reason for the twins is I traded all my nitrous stuff + 200 bucks for a bunch of goodies... My buddy had all this stuff new and changed projects got into diesels insead.... I would have done a single also but too good of a deal

less clutter for the win. when im done with my valve cover project. im going no ABS. that should be interesting. hopefully 94-97 non-abs parts will work with a CL.
plus sounds like your building a race car here. who gives a damn about accessories.

my ABS is shot and has been for the last 2 years. over the next little while im just gonna yank all the ABS shit out of the engine bay and run 5th gen accord non ABS hardlines. Yes they work, there's a write up I saw, can't remember where but they work.

interested in what have you planned for underhood temps, eth? seems your exhaust route will be awfully close to some rubber (cv boot, tire); are you going to just wrap it, or fab up some dedicated heatshielding?

If you look at the ics you can see that the inner fender is gone I'm taking the exhaust out the side of the car in front of the front tire thats all done I'll gets some pics of that up this weekend so you can see. It sits nice and yes I will be heat taping alot of stuff mainly around all the tranny stuff. Everything else clears... I mocked 90 percent of this stuff up before I even started to build it... I also have a few vents I'm designing for the hood to let out heat...Whats up with this thin jjims rwd cl ???? Fast or what???

I'm on your page, which ones you want me to post up for you?
Btw, posting pics are as easy as loading them on to your myspace. When you're on photobucket, you simply browse through your pics like you would on myspace to load them up. And once you have loaded them onto your photobucket, underneath the pic will give you 4 options. You simply click on the one that says it's for forums and copy it. Once copied, you just paste it on where you would type/reply here. All it is, is copy and paste. That's it. You don't have to add anything to the end of the messege or anything else.

Once the pic is uploaded on photobucket, you copy the "IMG Code" located under the pic. Once copy, you paste it on here, and your pic shows up in place of the IMG code like so. I'm adding you on my friends list if that's okay with you btw.
actually I can't add you cause i need your last name or email account. Here's my account, you can add me if you'd like.

Yes, if you mean a big single would require nitrous to spool it up.. Those are turbonetics T3T4 Hybrids those are pretty good turbos.. By ball bearing turbo well most of them do it is the size... you could put the biggest turbo in the world on a car and it could be slow as shit. Unless it all works right spooling up and overspooling.. So what do you mean ball bearing turbo?
