      I put my fuel lines in a cup, and it just stopped.

      As for A/C, I removed the pipe going to the condenser, and just cut the otherside off. You won't be able to fit the DC5 pipe if you are running the RBC on the K24. The EP3 pipe runs behind the engine if you want to keep aircon.

      also, do you have the CRV driverside mount?

      I'll be installing back the k20 for now. In the meantime whilst I'm driving the k20 I can start on the k24 build. I think once I've finished the paint and putting everything back in, its about time to enjoy in its form.

      Oh no no, your build is entirely a different story to mine. Its something which has less information and requires more modification. I take my hat off to you Sir. When you need to cut stuff with an angle grinder, you know your creating something great lol!

      Thanks mugsee for the confirmation. I appreciate it. I read through Vyets build, and it is true about some people changing cars, and some people dedicated to 1 specific car. I suppose I just want to make this absolutely mine when I drive out on the road.

        Ahh. Finally something i've been waiting for has arrived! Out with the old and in with the new. A genuine Mugen Wing, thanks to William. Needs a fresh coat of paint of my choice.








        For people who decide to do backyard jobs like mine, the key is labelling and organising. Seen Dexter? Well this is similar!

                Haha. Those are Dad's.

                Good news and bad news.

                Good news is we are pretty much done with the stripping of the interior. There are bits and pieces left but I've discussed with Beyond Customs and they are happy to leave it as that, and mask rest of the stuff. Main thing is there is nothing else attached to the chassis that is visible from the front and paint can reach every surface with ease. Just have to take the driveshafts off and we're there. Any suggestions on how we do it??



                Bad news, the front right spindle nut to the brake line is almost stripped. I might have to order a whole new brake line (ABS to Front-Right brake line). But the rest came out alright. Stiff buggers they are. Other bad news is, Beyond Customs are packed with their schedule, and I won't be dropping the car off to them for another month and half at least. Gives me more time to clean up I suppose.

                        I want updates too. I fly back from work on Wednesday, and hopefully can take some pictures of the parts that have arrived. Sad news is, the paint shop can't accommodate me until mid November. Believe me, i'm just as itchy as you to reassemble the beast.
