After wash, rubbing compound, and wax:













Oil catch can:









Moved intake to be right next to transmission just inside wheel well area. Gets really great colder air and its very consistent according to the Ultra-gauge.

If that headlight polish is that PlastX or Mothers, it will only last about a month and will gradually fade right back to the way it was. That stuff is a waste of cash.



Looks good. I would have loved to see a Beta swap but you can't beat the fuel economy.



I have the same battery. They're the BEST!

Its 3m rubbing compound and yes it only lasts a month. Currently getting 33mpg average in 60 percent city driving once I get the 02 sensors unbuggered from the exhaust it will surely be back up towards 40. I was getting 40mpg in a 50-50 mix that had mountain driving involved when I used to commute a couple hundred miles per day.
