today was a bright and sunny 52 degree spring day in wisconsin...time to work on the ride! i took off the res box (as in the title lol), and i must admit, even though it doesnt feel faster, it sounds beautiful. when i first got the car, i was like "hey, i can hear 'the honda sound' in this engine...a little." but now over 4000 rpm, it roars. i took it for a quick spin around campus, and i scared one dude with an svt focus
heres what i learned:
1. my fender liners dont come off
2. my front bumper has no clips on the front side
3. it was easier to take the bumper off than mess with the splash shields
4. theres a lot of dead bees under/on my car
5. that box is HUGE

6. those little clips suck a$$
7. it took me longer to figure out that i cant get the splash shields out than to take the front bumper off
sorry if this is a "who cares?" type of thing for most of you. im just so excited that i got to work on my car in great weather and about how nice it sounds. and oh yeah, im soooo lucky i found a long extension for the rear bolt cause that shield wasnt goin nowhere
removed the resonator box

Put in work...:banana:
short of getting something welded or aligned, i dont see why people wont put their parts on by themselves. its aggrevating sometimes, but its fun to get dirty and the sense of accomplishment is like none other. as long as you keep everything in perspective and orderly you cant go wrong. man, i could never imagine paying someone to put on something so simple as a sway bar or whatever. if you can turn a wrench or screwdriver, you can do it!
