Really turned out nice. The gloss really makes it look very oem.

Paint ran a little but hard to see unless your right up on it. Rear piece came out good.

Did you strip the chrome or just sand it? I was thinking about doing this with all the exterior chrome including badges on mine.

Sanded it with a 150 grit. Cleaned it, then painted.

Someone dropped a 12mm Socket into a buddies Evo X MR. Two days later, the turbo assembly was out and the socket was recovered. What a nightmare.
Oh my goodness that musta sucked @stilletto. I hate working on my buddies evo. no room. sorry for liking your post lol. I recovered 3 nuts after taking off my IM. haha
Not exactly a 9th gen. Was bored today so got to installing my IM on my hatchy. Need some bolts here and there but the hard part is done. Lost about a pint of blood through my knuckles.

What radiator is that and how do you like it? I am looking at replacing the stock one on my 97 civic that I'm building.

over the weekend i put on my tsx brakes and tl-s master cylinder
It's a cheap eBay one and it used to leak but sorted itself out. Never had any other problems for the 6 months I've had it. Have a mishimoto waiting to go on which i would recommend over the eBay. The fan is is a blox 12" which I would recommend for a cheap replacement.
I was considering the Skunk2 radiator. since its right about in the price range I was looking for. I have learned that ebay is not the place to go for parts. I have other things to accomplish first though like getting the car through emissions this month on the stock ecu while running 440cc injectors and finding some way to prevent the supercharger from making boost so it doesn't throw itself into limp mode.

It was messed up cause we swear we saw the socket through the snake cam but nothing came up when we shook the turbo. Ended up having to pull the snap ring and remove the housing just to find it. It was a big celebration when the socket finally hit the floor. Now onto putting everything back together Sunday. Womp.
