are you going to leave those silver screws on it, or is that temporary?

Looks good sir,
Looks good man it's always tough cutting that hole in something like that though haha looks like a nice job and a good spot for gauges so you don't have to take your eyes off the road .
Swapped to black screws last night. I'll post up the new photos. They were a temporaryQuote:

Because I still have heat... and when you put the other climate control panel in the glove box it is IMPOSSIBLE to reach when you have your harnesses on. And what a painQuote:

No not going center feed. But ordering eagle intake manifold. Should bring some more good power.

Nice, congrats on the sponsorship and new parts! Looking forward to installed pics :biggrin:
Alright so yesterday was 48 degrees which is a heatwave. So I was able to open the garage door and work on the car... So I attempted to install my new TopOne rear diffuser... I'm extremely disappointing right now and will be calling them shortly to figure out what is going on.
But here is my install so far.. (sorry sun was setting, getting cold, so pictures get darker)
First removed the three screws on each side of the bumper
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...pscmqe8khd.jpg
Then removed the four 8mm nuts holding the taillights in
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psai2pt3so.jpg
I removed the taillights to make removing bumper easier
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps8mce4vlq.jpg
Then pulled the bumper off and set it to the side
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psu0xoot5l.jpg
Now this bad boy is in the way.. luckily the brackets are weak so you will need to bend it off to the side a little. Just push it in towards the center of the car
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psd7hpasey.jpg
Then hold up your race brackets to the pinch welds and mark your holes
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psaugzx3oy.jpg
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psjfwcu6eh.jpg
Now grab your drill and go to town
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps2anwkyid.jpg
Make sure to file the backside down smooth
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps4hivtl4p.jpg
Then mount your brackets
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7r4qz7er.jpg
Do the same for the other side of course
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psbs2yo2bg.jpg
Now the shitty part... since it's a real diffuser if you have any pretty accessories like a beaks bar it must come off
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psfayb3rpg.jpg
so you can install these brackets on the sway bar bolts
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psnxbt0wa4.jpg
So this step not necessary if not running a beaks bar
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps1uxfmie7.jpg
But here you can see where I mounted the bracket. Now make it tight enough to stay but not to tight so you can't adjust it.
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psy5xuarcd.jpg
Now I laid my diffuser under the car and started with the front. Use the two longer bolts and mount them here loosely
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psg1omojda.jpg
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psr6l2dnr5.jpg
Then lift the diffuser and bolt to the brackets you just installed
Now here is the shitty part... here is where it's not working out. Apparently the 05-06 rsx is different than 02-04 in the rear or they are using the same brackets as DC2 without trying them out.. (they kept telling me to reference DC2 photos for install)
The driver side is lower than the passenger side for pinch weld locations... I didn't notice till I tried to mark holes for diffuser...
This is driver side... fits great
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psr7zqxidg.jpg
this is passenger side... not so much, short about 2.5"
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psft3ujsu9.jpg
So i measured the height of the pinch welds...
driver side
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psie5diqxc.jpg
Passenger side
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqnirsbw6.jpg
So now I'm waiting to hear back from TopOne as I emailed them, and will be calling them this afternoon if no response...
Damn that sucks. If anything you can always make a bracket extension. But being top1 it should fit dead on.

Love the new downpipe. Out of curiosity in what order do you have your sensors in the exhaust? I see all 3 are very close and right behind each other.Quote:

I forgot to mention that part. Ok so the highest bung I just welded on when I made the other half of the downpipe. My AEM A/F gauge will be going there. The middle one is unusable as it won't clear the sway bar. Then my factory O2 is on the back one closet to flex pipe.Quote:
