Sold the ARC catch can to JDM Cain. With all the work I've done to the front of the motor (bolts, pulleys, belts, alternator, PS pump, radiator, fan shroud, hose delete, etc. etc.) I wanted to properly show it off. Looks much cleaner with out it IMO.

I'm running an APS Tallboy intake manifold, pictured below:

I'm soo jealous of your engine bay.. but i'd say cup kit FTW if they werent soo expensive id throw one on my se-r (if they even make them), the purple car i was in when i picked up the radiator.

A cup kit sits on top of coilovers, allows you raise your car when you come up to a speedbump or a driveway. You can't drive around for an extended period of time with it raised like bags. Advantage over bags is you still get the suspension performance/stiffness of coilovers.

New bag kits and old setups can be used with coilovers. The bags slip over the front shocks in place of the springs. As far as handling or performance I never had any problems driving on the freeway or streets at any speed.

i don't have a dremmel, but i do have a grinder with a cutting wheel. Will that work on this bolt? I have not looked down there yet but want to be prepared when i do the install. if i have to buy a dremmel i will.

The cutting wheel will work. It's a very small bolt to cut
