Rest should be here tomorrow
ok plenty of updates.. loading photos now.
So I finally am starting to get the car back on the road. So I have a bunch of work ahead of me. So one of the items on my list was swap out my sideskirts to the new one.. but I must admit I am COMPLETELY DISSAPOINTED with the new TopOne products.
Anyways started taking off my sidekskirts

unbolting the old TopOne add on skirts

Here is the old verse the new.. the old one was HUGE compared to the new one. It was wider and more aggressive and the winglet was twice the size..

winglet comparison

None of the preholed bolt holes match up.. so I clamped them together and redrilled them

Ok so I was searching around while installing my quick release steering wheel and everyone talked about breaking the clockspring to get it off. I didn't see why everyone struggled I figured it out right away how to take it off without busting it.. So I thought I would share
pull clock spring forward and out
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psuggzmg8w.jpg
This is the piece we are trying to remove without breaking
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps981wmftj.jpg
To do so just release the bottom clip with a flat head screw driver
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psxlzxdqge.jpg
Then the harder part everyone gets stuck on.. using a flat head push down here
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psz0stvt7d.jpg
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps8x6eqjhx.jpg
As you can see it's just a push tab you need to push down on to release the clip
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psrfcz4yxt.jpg
and now you've successfully removed the clock spring without breaking it.
but I forgot to buy the hub so I need to wait till that comes in the mail
ok also pulled out my AC vent
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps80mvnioo.jpg
finally swap out my home made black for a black vent
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqeuviesn.jpg
them pulled out my cluster so I could change out the wiring harness for my AEM boost gauge
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps5blhjdmb.jpg
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...pskfpwsngy.jpg
old verse new... AEM things my harness went bad. So hopefully this fixes my boost issue

Redid the ghetto oil feed setup. This is what I removed compared to the new filter sandwich

http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psgdvxbct2.jpg
instead of thread tape I am going with HondaBond
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psy2s9x3ld.jpg
put all the fittings on
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...psh3atppue.jpg
