Seriously I wash it 2 or 3 times during summer and maybe 1 or 2 times suring winter... so my car is usually dirty. I am always amazed and surprised on how EBP is hot when I clean the car...
I guess it looks more sleeper when it's dirty!!!

Rep Power: 294 I haven't done a "full" clean yet.. waiting for after paint I so love this excuse of mine
As for St-E, as I'm still here no. Though, not exactly a dragger here, so don't see the need - unless others I know where going and perhaps I'd go along but

Rep Power: 0 I am not trying to put pressure on another member here... but... My calipers are freshly painted! 
Did the center part of the front rotor and the rear drum gloss black and the front calipers are metallic dark blue (similar to EBP, but a bit darker). It's nice

I don't know how much time the paint will stay. I read on another forum that every paint do almost the same on brake... you always need to do them again, once in a while! So, I used what I had already!

Rep Power: 294 So where are the pictures btw?
The painting would more than likely be needed after next winter in any event. Or at least mine and a coworker's does

Rep Power: 294 Actually I'm surprised that wasn't automerged
But why am I browsing and posting on this site?
I'm currently rocking a Daewoo

Not exactly in a rush anyways so its all good. Repairing rear bumper, blending colors on trunk, popping a door dent, fixing cracking around the hood line, and tossing on my other hood. For now, its fun to pimp in daewoo - got to love rentals

Rep Power: 294 Shortie header would more than likely be a 4-2-1 header for an EX (or Canadian Si) you would need the downpipe/equivalent of the EX, and either a MIL eliminator or your oxygen sensor wires extended.

You need something like piece # 4:
While the RSX-S part is like this:
Karumba.... are you willing to sell your O2 sensor separetly (from your HP26 header)? I might go this route...

Rep Power: 294 Don't exactly want to part out the sensor - as well it does come in the package and want to sell it complete.
Though, did a quick search. You can buy it from Casper's electronics - casperselectronics.com or you can try buying a MIL eliminator off this respected eBayer ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...spagenameZWDVW )
Steve (steve_civic03) does, jamie did, Polo does, believe Will (FaZe) did .. trying to think of others in the area that I know just to give you a clue

When i first bought my cai, i also bought the by-pass valve. After consulting some ppl, i decided not to install it, so i returned it. I have been driving with NO bpv, for over 3yrs. In the rain, slush, and snow, i have had ZERO problems. I wouldnt bother........but that's just me!

Stupid Montreal Gave away that game last night. At least they got back the Monday night game, but seriously what are they trying to do? Lose the series - after taking a nice lead??
Figured I might as well throw some other topics into our discussions This should probably be a pm, but
Pat - any news on those items?
