Dude i miss seeing your car! Im going to have to tag along on the next s2k meeting to see what everyone has been up to.
The fitting in the middle of the valve cover should have a check valve inside it. You will need to remove the check valve since you will no longer have vacuum going to it. Looking good man!!! Always good to see someone giving feed back!
hey huy, its in need of a lot of maintence stuff before i do anything else. i need to change all the fluids, it needs a good wash and detail. Also I am getting a squeeking noise from the back rear of the car, I glanced under there and checked the axles etc and everthing seems in tact. So I am thinking the wheel bearing might have gone bad.

Dont lie! you just miss seeing ME. Ha, thanks for the heads up John. I already removed it, but i wasnt sure what the "proper" way to remove it was so i ended up just drilling it out? Its a resilient sob so it took a good bit to get it removed. Pm'ing you about possible wheel bearing question.
Got around to installing the overflow tank. It needed to be drilled, i sized an oem 10mm bolt and drilled a spot into the bay for it to fit securely. I had to get rid of the second bracket that was welded on because of the placement of the catch can. The fit with the space to work with was perfect and pure luck. Had it been 1mm bigger in either direction it wasnt going to fit.
Spoon Thermostat and Fan switch came in yesterday. Got a good deal from a member so decided to pick them up. The thermostat seems like a pain to install without a lift but try to get that knocked out this weekend
some parts came trickling in so decided to put in some work today. changed the oil (finally used the filter Ira hooked up from the Hillsboro Honda meet, thanks again )
got the radiator, fans, shroud from Tony and Dan at Speed Concept. Always great service, and best prices, been going there for almost ten years since their doors opened.
preassembled yesterday.
radiator, its quite a bit thicker then the oem
installing foam onto the fan shroud
installing fans
shroud to radiator
installed the thermostat, fan switch, fan shroud and slim fans, and the radiator today. there was some splicing/soldering for the harnesses for the fans
radiator drained and removed
everything installed to the spoon radiator stays
the fans take quite a bit longer before they need to turn on, however when they do turn on, they are much louder as well. oh well, its in!
Nice Hiep! I picked up the mugen t stat and fan switch bout a month ago myself. I was planning to upgrade the radiator but had not though of the fans, thanks for the tip.
