simple green is available at any auto store, but i prefer Castrol Super Clean to it.

Check out www.1fastrex.com

There's a "detailing" section that tells how to use Simple Green to clean the engine bay. I've followed those instructions with great results. The first time you do it takes a long time, but every time after only takes a little while if you keep up on it.

The only think I did different was to use a wire brush to loosen up all the caked-on grit when I did it the first time.

dude you are like the only person ive seen have the intake piece that goes across the engine bay....i took mine out when i 1st got it i didnt see the point of it really

[1PhatCX]

i still got that piece on my car, its supposed to bring air in from the front of the car i'm guessing

[civicHBsi91]

yea i know what it does but theres a rubber piece under the hood and it looks like it would block off alot of that air so i said what the hell and it gave it a deeper sound than before so i stuck with it

[91civicDXdude]

that intake piece is the factory cold air intake.

damn your car looks nice man. looks almost stock brand new

good job.

dude its so easy its not even funny you undo like 2 bolts and you just slide it out its so freakin easy

for a ghetto short ram, just replace your factory filter with a K&N drop in replacemetn and cut the bottom of the airbox off so it gets loads of flow.
