Indeed, that engine bay looks stunning

Just to pick up on the heat wrap thing...
Since fitting the Fuji header to my bb4, I hate how hot the bonnet and all the ancillaries around it get - it definitely needs heat wrapping imo...

Thanks for heads up.
I'm currently waiting for heat wrap to arrive.

Heat wrap got lost somewhere in mail between UK and Latvia, so header is still pending.

Meanwhile got materials for gasket fabrication:

Header gasket is now ready and also did a refresh on pillars upholstery, since the fabric had lost it's colour over years.
Nice and fresh alcantara style:

Did some knitting today together with wifey.

Decided not to wrap downpipe because of road "quality" and speed bumps no to tear bottom part up on the road

Nice.
I need to do this. Putting it off 'cause it looks like a PITA.

Teamwork really speeds up the process

But it is not a walk in the park indeed.
Since i did it for the first time, a couple lessons were learned

Got the Tanabe header and Greddy Evo 2 catback installed. Really like the sound and as of butt dyno, seems to breathe and go better as well.
At least VTEC kicks in stronger. Very pleased.

I faced another silly issue though - wanted to go for a last spin before putting lude away for winter together with missus and 1mo son and couldn't fit the baby seat in the back of my 4th gen. Reason being - seat belt is just too short. Plenty of room, but couldn't lock the seat in.

Now, I hear there are no such issues in 5th gen. Could it be that the seat belts are longer in 5th? If so I probably should be starting to think about swapping them in from another Honda..

Car seat for reference ( very similar from the same manufacturer):
