^^ the more I look at that picture the more problems I find. It's like a weird Where's Waldo where all of the shapes are actually Waldo and it's impossible to win.

A/C belt is missing.

You can get that kit on Amazon now. The wire harness and bracket aren't bad but those red coils are pretty shitty.

Yah, I got my kit used from John V. They came on the roller he bought to build his race car so I don't know how old they are. I do know that they lasted all of a few months before one of them completely died. I'm pretty sure at least two others had been weak for a while because their spark was pretty weak and it was a revelation when I replaced all four with Napa Echlin coils.

I'm thinking that there's not enough use of durable, easy-to-assemble PVC in our lives especially for intake and exhaust on our RX-8. Why not it's cheap?

I wonder what the big ol' household AC circuit breaker box is for. There is so much to those pictures I don't understand.

What's really, really weird is that the Honda Accord is a FWD car, so it has a transverse engine. The air filters make look like they are set up for a longitudinal engine.

I wonder how that routing goes, or if there is any routing at all...
