Its been long overdue but finally got the odyssey mostly back together!!!! I dont know if you can see it in the pictures too well but we tried wrinkling a white base and then put some teal in the clear over top. We are getting some mixed reviews on it but that is why it is so bumpy looking.

CB9 Cluster - doesnt fit the greatest because the framing hits the plugs at the bottom so we plan on changing soon

Oh forgot to mention when we picked this van up the bushings in the back were metal on metal so when we put the new bushings in it raised the ride height quite a bit

Started doing the new valve cover for it. I painted the base and my 2yr old cousin took care of the rest, it's nice having them involved at a young age.

The header has a lot of rash, but we plan on boosting, so that will be gone within the next year, and we will also be converting to a Coil On Plug setup.

I am personally on the fence about the Kenstyle Grille, but I think once the whole kit is there, then it'll flow a lot better.

Here's a picture of the kit:

Also going to run Air Suspension in 2014/2015, looking at running the Air Runner kit.

Another little update. We fabbed up a 2.5" Stainless Steel cat back for it.... side exit :D

She's also getting repainted within the next week. The colour got old for me... Going with something more simple that will still catch your attention. I'll have pics up :

Some updates! New paint, new wheels, painted calipers, and another step closer to finishing the interior. We are actually thinking of going with 4 RSX perf. leather seats to keep it sorta classy... but I'm still leaning towards some Recaros lol.

On to the pictures!

Started re-assembly:


Fresh paint, still had yet to black out the mesh:


Bronze rims w/ Candy red calipers:


A close up of the blacked out headlights w/ the tear drop scoop:


Gassing up before the trip to Toronto for my brother's wedding, we blacked out the tow hitch also:


Got around to blacking out the mesh:


I can't wait to bag this thing! I want it sitting on the floor! lol

The colour is a white base w/ House of Kolor Kamen Blue Flake

You can somewhat see the sparkle in this picture. forgot my DSLR in Vaughan so I haven't had a chance to take proper pictures yet:



Thanks guys! Loving the way she's looking now as well.

Little piece of the puzzle we got today :D

A closer look at the Water-Cooled Turbo Manifold. Those lines run to a thermostat, so when it reaches a certain temperature, the line opens up and cools the manifold to prevent any warping to the flange. Pretty neat, and it's from Japan, I, personally, have never seen a manifold like this before.

nice one man, love the red cover.

re, your turbo. looks a nice size. and definitely cool everything associated with it, when i had mine with no cooling, 50,000ish kms and its toast!
