removed backseat, installed catch can, antenan plug - UPDATE

kc2005ptgt · Post by **kc2005ptgt** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 8:18 pm

Not much to look at, but I like it alot better now... I removed the car grill I had installed almost a year ago for a more clean look again, and plus since the fog holes are bare, it makes the whole front look right again.

And here is my new little 20$ DIY Catch Can... I like it, its not bad and looks good right where it is at under the hood. Questions, please ask!

View from side, top

I also installed the booger bushings I got almost a month ago...

Along with the Injen Fuse Panel Cover I got from CgPeon (thanks for deal bro!)

AND the final shot of my engine bay with the excelerator cable hidden

And a cool shot I saw tonight - calm before the storm

Next mods for cheap I am gonna do is relocate my trunk popper (I hate it being in the glove box...) and a push button starter, just need to find a nice looking push button, the only one I can locate is some metal one that is chrome - I want black or red. And it can say START too, so if anyone knows of one, lemme know.

Nice and clean looking!!! I never had a trunk pop so when I installed mine I put it right near the hood latch.

if you want a push start button...i would get the one they have in S2000's

i think the P/N for it is 35881-S2A-911,

Wow, your engine bay is sooo pretty! I kind of liked the grill.

But it still looks awesome without it. Was it pretty hard to do the catch can? I am gonna be getting one in the mail soon and was just curious. Your car is just so clean. Damn. I love those pictures of the sky, I saw that too outside and was gonna go for a cruise but decided to play video games intead.

yeah...i was going to suggest the s2000 start button...that would look nice in your car and probably comes w/ the wiring, or you could get the wiring.

catch can looks good.....right where i mounted mine too

I dont remmber the grille you had, but i think it looks good now!

looked good before too

what kind of battery is that? can't tell if its an Optima or not

either way, it looks real clean

kc2005ptgt · Post by **kc2005ptgt** » Mon Feb 26, 2007 1:03 pm

I just realized that I posted an old pic of my ngine bay (by like 10 days

) but it has changed since then...

I get a new one soon.

Also, I like the s2k one, but the viper is nice also - wonder which one is cheaper

the s2k one is about $40 i think from honda.

yeah, I got the price online - they sell em ALL over the place, plus I found a howtoo for generic install of one, so thats good - I am not sure where to mount the push start, I was thinking next to the trac-control and rear defrost, cause I want it visible, not hidden - els eI will spend 6$ and buy a cheesy metallic one

Yes, it is an optima red, the paper/plastic wrap around it was dirty and coming off, so I cleaned it up

Gonna go clean the auto and take a few pics then repost some more.

I also got a cool tripod the other day (I love it when my wife wants to buy something

then I get a toy too!).

here we go, recent shot of engine bay:

Here are the rear seats removed, shots - I also removed the top liner off my hood - and it looks mucho nicer.

And a few shots at some old old old old church and cemetary in northern KC/Smithville area.

Car looks great though!!

PM'd, lets not whore up kc2002acr's thread.

installed the antenna delete plug I got from BRR (thanks!!) and I also moved my trunk popper from the glove box to the driveside kick panel near the hood release... It looks stock, as did the other people who saw it said... this was not easy to figure out how to do, but once I got it out it was merely a matter of finding a good place for it. SO, here are the continued pics - my prgress log of cheap and free mods!!1

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 12:02 pm

meh, still don't like the antennia delete plugs...

but that relocation... that might be something i'm going to do...

Post by **racer12306** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 1:07 pm

moving that trunk button looks good.

you should start a project/progress log in the project log section, all the cool people are doing it.

Hey hey, lookin good. I like the front better without the grill and with the antenna delete. I'd get a delete plug...but I listen to the radio too much.

Did it get alot louder at freeway speeds with the rear seat gone, and all the carpet and shiz gone too?
