AN BANJO FITTINGS

For those of you with Trip Webs here is a cheap AN Banjo Fitting:


Although designed for a Civic fuel rail, it works perfectly on my DCOEs.
A much cheaper alternative to those banjos marketed to specifically fit DCOEs ($30).
Probably the same shit. 

You could also just run a striaght fitting out the side or top(where the filter is), but I like the way Banjos look.

Before & After

I'm sick, but still managed to get the additional muffler installed

Before & After



I still don't like the sound.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with the shitty Gibson muffler.
But the Gibson has the look I want so Imma keep it.
I'll learn to like it.

Its all in the details

Got bored so I decided to restore an eBay score.


No I'm not from Hawaii like kyushakai, but I love the idea/lifestyle.

Wrapping Up

Trying to wrap up the engine bay.
I took great care to hide as many things in the engine bay as I could.
The majority of the wiring was moved to inside the fender well. Lots of rewiring to achieve this.
Even the ignition coil is located outside the engine bay.





There are still a few wires I have to eliminate/tuck.
Primarily those concerned with the function of the distributor.

Also need to cover that nasty orange foam/rubber sleeve protecting the speedo cable.
To mask it I will use expandable sleeving:
 This shit rocks. The diameter of the sleeve conforms to the diameter of the object it encompasses.
I used it in all my wiring. A nice professional look. Not like that plastic pepboys crap.


Here's a closer shot:
You can see the speedo cable I was reffering to at the rear of the block.
Also, you can see the trigger wires hanging off the distributor.
Gotta tuck that coil wire closer to the enging block.
Ugh!
