Yes strut brace is not on, I was test fitting when it was new
Why don't we get any of this cool stuff in the US?

I Don't want to hear you complain about having a hard time getting a y-pipe ever again

What do you guys use to clean you're engine bays, and how do you do it? Certain things that you cover, or are sure not to touch?

Well, if your **** is really dirty, I would buy some engine degreaser and degrease the engine. Then go to work on hoses and other things with armor all. Not too much though, as it will collect some dirt if you do.

yeah, neon is really 'too fast too furious. maybe better on some girls eclipse. i think it would look better in the car, not in the engine bay. if you want to give your engine bay an edge over some stock one, the best thing to do is keep it clean, and polish up a few things. but if you like neon, that's fine too, just offering my opinion.

It still doesn't compare to the stupidity of having glow in an engine bay. The grill glow has been busted for a while. The euro lights? I'm not sure what you're talking about. I had gayzza's for a while but moved to red/clears when I got the CF trunk. The one racing seat is perfectly funtional. Why make your passengers uncomfortable? Glow in the cab is not equal to glow in the engine bay.

The little filter is a breather filter. The little hose we have helps crankcase ventilation. It cycles things BACK into the intake track. The breather filter lets them out into the atmosphere. So I guess it would just clean up the intake path a bit. I don't think it's any real HP/noteworthy gain though.

Also, I did the caps all black as well as the radiator supports and the hood stop bracket. Just not sure what to do with the spark plug cover . . .

I have the D2 coilovers. The ride can be punishing at times, but its on the roads you usually don't want to be on anyway. The handling is really great. I drive a buddies '96 (stock SE suspension) every now and then and they are totally different cars. I have a little bit of noise, but I have worked out most of the small little things.
