3 things...
1. 18" A-specs are off and 17" stockies with blizzaks are on.
2. Probably did the last hand wash of car for the year. (Too freakin' cold)
3. Although these guys have gotten a bad rap, many thanks to Richmond Acura for replacing my pitted headlights with brand new OEM set under warranty.

Took a few valve covers to U-blast and in Langley and did some media blasting. Never going to bother with paint stripping chemicals again if I don’t have to. Highly recommend this place, they will suggest the correct media to use, facilities are clean and well setup, they charge about 63 bucks an hour but it only took me about 45 minutes to do three valve covers.
Before 
After 
Ill be doing a set of wheels next I think.

To redeem my last post... I replaced my battery yesterday. The OEM one lasted a respectable 4.5 years, but my car didn't start once on Thursday.
I replaced it with a Kirkland one from Costco. Might have paid for the battery, but did the swap myself...

Started the car today for a bit and removed my rear spoiler since I'm thinking of going wingless next year.

Started taking the LS1 out of my donor car. Mostly wiring, headers, coilpacks, etc.
I decided to take all the front panels off and hack the front end back a couple of feet to make things easier when I go to pull the motor.
Then I started going through the wiring, marking them off and taking note of how they're routed. Came across some half-ass, hack-job connections that I'm going to have to fix later (unless I decide to shell out $1k for a custom plug and play unit).
There, that frees up some space:

Gave it a wash last night, and getting ready to store it for the winter. MR2 sleeps till spring, out comes the Integra.
Old pic. 
Gonna spiffy up the engine bay a bit and then send the car off to get fully repainted either this month, or in February, depending on the money situation.
Also wish I had another set of seats for the DC; the stock ones are too high and my head is scraping the roof.
