^^^Im sure it would have but I didnt have the money nor desire to remove the engine.. Yes it would of been a 10 minute job, 30 minutes taking the time to notch..

Me on the other hand did it in 3 hours because of the cleaning of everything with shavings.. Block stayed in car.

I hope those couplers dont blow but if they do I will just learn my lesson and buy a 18 dollar a piece coupler instead of the 7.50 lowes pvc coupler.

Yeah the rims are temporary. The paint was x100 better than the original bling bling chrome. Look at the offset!

Other than the hood gap, hacked up front bumper, cracked rear bumper, ricey wing, dinged up door, spray painted rims, Rusted up Boost Creep manifold, Chingaling Turbo, and JDM license plate mount the car looks good.
Or maybe all those things are why the car is so awesome. :y

Exactly what I was looking for thank you. The hood gap issue is because of some unfinished washers and bolts needed to raise and align the hood. Wing is a ITR one that was there when I bought it, and so was the dings and crack in the back bumper. The rims have been sprayed because they were ------- some fake ass chrome. I have another civic that I took them off for temp ----.

As for the chang sauce turbo! ---- U!! ;)

Its Radiator Paint on the intercooler. That ---- looks ------- great. On the valve cover its a high temp paint. I should of used high temp primer on the cover then hit it with some radiator paint as well. The only thing I dont like about it is that it takes about a day to fully cure.. Until then you can still leave finger prints on it.
