Looks super clean!
Installed my Suspension Techniques Rear Sway Bar & Rear Strut Bar, Next is GSR Blades.
that relocated battery looks fantastic.
i got to detail the FUK out of my engine bay yesterday. i’m going to get a pcv valve grommet for my VC and a fresh pcv valve and put that in today
[QUOTE=DAman;2278534]My fullrace battery tie down finally came in so i installed it!

i’d ditch that wetcell battery for an AGM or gell cell. The battery when charging gives off poisonous gas. Not to mention if that thing were to develop a leak, how big of a rust mark that would leave.
x2^^, that type of battery needs to be in a special type of box if kept in the car. Bad things can happen.
Replaced the spark plug wires that came with car for OEM Sumitomo wires and replaced my PCV valve and upper PCV tube B hose because I’m pretty sure it was 21 years old and the hose had a pin hole in it. Must say after that the car runs better.
I wasn’t going to use it for those exact reasons. Only reason why im using this battery is bc it was free and has a 5 year warranty. If it would happen to leak it would only leak into the sealed battery box. Plus when i had my e36 m3 they come with a wet cell battery in the trunk and mine was gutted and i had zero issues with it whatsoever and wasn’t in a box.
I wont be keeping the battery in there forever. First signs of anything going wrong its coming out.
installed a s1
realized it needs a new motor mount
power steering pump or hoses are leaking, need to track that down.

Yes BMW come with a battery in the trunk, but that battery is also specially made so it vents outside the car. Hence the tube that comes off the top.
blew my adjustable test pipe apart driving today, knew i shoulda got it welded, car is so fkng loud now my ears hurt
Mine didnt lol
Like i said though first sign of anything going wrong its out.
Installed the new exedy clutch cable, bled my brakes, and finally got it to pass inspection! =] Inspection had been out since March lol
where did u get the clutch cable?
I scored a set of OEM Sumitomo spark plug wires in RED!! At the wrecking yard. I didn’t even know they made these in red. Looks dope.
I also relocated my battery to the trunk.
One of my spare distributors (obd1 non vtec TD-55U) was throwing a check engine code 8 (TDC sensor) so I fully rebuilt it using everything out of a obd1 single cam civic distributor (TD-41U). No check engine lights anymore and car runs flawlessly now.
Too much red in the engine bay.
doesnt look that bad to me, only thing i’d do is find a better/cleaner battery strap
hey bryan you can find the exedy clutch cable on ebay for $40 thats where i bought mine
i just finished installing my 93 taillights and 93 rear bumper
yea i saw it on there rite after i asked, well today i got my magnaflow high flow cat, bought a low profile jack, and for now clamped my test pipe back together so my car isn’t air plane loud anymore lol
Yeah, that strap was just for temporary use while I play around with mounting it. I’m gonna use the OEM civic (eg) battery tray and tie down for the final relocation since I’m using a super tiny battery. Only weighs around 14lbs.
i just threw away a set of red sumitomo plug wires today
