![]() I painted my faded side mirrors, door handles and some other miscellaneous things. I took my valve cover off to see that my head has been very well taken care of. Started painting my valve cover and ran out of daylight. Tomorrow I'll show you guys the finished product, and I will be putting a new valve cover gasket on along with doing a little valve adjustment. So yeah. These are always decent threads on car forums. ![]() |

I'm waiting for the eBay vendor to send me the right MAF adapter so I can start on my custom CAI....they sent me the wrong size, think it's for a V6 instead of the 8.

Nice work. What kind of paint are you using? Does it have a glossy finish like you used an exterior car paint or is are you just using spray paint for more of a matte finish?

![]() Yeah, the picture is rather small and blurry...but it definitely looks good to me. I can't knock anyone's work, I was too scared to paint mine as I wanted it absolutely flawless for all the car shows it was in the past year. I was really pissed off when I got one of the pieces with scuff marks and scratches all over it. They were custom ordered and painted too, so it was nearly 5 weeks until I recieved the replacement. ![]() Congrats for having the balls to do it yourself though, I was dumb enough to shell out quite a bit of cash to have mine professionally painted. ![]()

![]() Changed my oil. Cost me $15.00. Dealership gets $45 and I don't trust any "quickie lube" places because it's a cartridge filter and you have to remove a skid plate... |

![]() I've got an 06 G35 Sedan 6MT. Has the same engine the 350 did, but the intake on the G has a baffle to cut down on noise. Picked up a replacement from Stillen that's pretty much just a piece of hollow plastic. ![]() Edit: maybe I should put something in that tube that sounds like a turbo spooling up, so that more civics will race me. :P I want to put the stillen gen 2 exhaust on it, but I don't think that's gonna fly with the wife right about now. Hell I want to put that stage three charger on it too while I'm dreaming. ![]() Nice job on that valve cover btw. |
