Leaves the engine bay a bit closer to my liking


And I never really noticed how far and tilted forward the engine is!...

See anything else I missed?


Also I wondered whether you'd want the valve cover also, for the breather. I assumed you wouldn't. I'd ask to do a swap on that otherwise...


As you know getting to the lower flange bolts was a complete bitch, but there were also a few connection I had to snip to allow me to remove it. There was one sensor that screws to the underside of the manifold that started rounding off as I tried to remove it. My only option was to cut the wire, so I left enough for you to splice to should you need to. I would have had to cut it anyway if you wanted it as it's part of the engine loom and ther was no way I was removing that!

Then there was a second pull cable coming from the throttle body which reached down to the gearbox. I assumed this was an automatic choke, but again I couldn't remove it and was unsure whether you'd need it anyway, so again I've cut this.
I think there was one or two other engine loom connections as well. One was a simple bullet connection, so I just pulled that apart, but the other I had to cut, but again, I've left you plenty to splice to should you need it. (I imagine you won't be using half of these, but thought you should have them all the same.)
You've also got a temp sensor that screws into the thermostat housing, (You can see where I've unscrewed that from in the pictures.) a firewall bracket that our EX-2.0i's don't have for the brake master cylinder hose, and also the two inlet manifold support brackets that fix underneath.
Let me know if there's anything else you think you'll want.
And Let me know about the valve cover as I'll need to be looking for an even bigger box if you do want it
