Figure 15 - I routed the excess cable inside the headliner, then routed through just enough slack for the cable to bend through the anchor point hole and into the camera. I used whatever adhesive the camera came with. If you notice, I also had to notch a bit of the plastic cover off the anchor point cover so the cable would be so stressed out. Up to you if you care about that kind of thing.

Figure 04 - You'll need thin pliers to remove the clip from the body of the car - not necessary for installation, but it makes reinstalling the A-pillar a lot easier.

Figure 03 - A pillar piece with unique lock-in clip. This is where the 2nd video I linked will come in handy. Though not exactly the same one in the video, similar principles.

If you're adjusting valves as well, one of these tools really helps. The cheaper ones from Amazon are like $20. 10 MM is the nut size.

Here are the Intake and Valve cover gaskets P/N's. These can probably be re-used but nice to have on hand if working on a weekend.

So here's what Honda parts guy said I should have on hand. (The intake and EGR gaskets are on the second one I had purchased earlier and had on the shelf.

This is (almost) everything we replaced. Not in the pic is the PCV valve and the rubber seals inside the timing cover. Seemed like the factory, or past mechanic had glued the seals in and they had to be scraped out of the grooves in a million pieces.

Figure 1 - Remove side panel. I used a metal flat head screw driver, but that did damage the plastic. If you have a plastic trim removal tool, use that.

Now i run KYB KG4741 with 309 psi Moog spring (can't find the number) cut at 12 inch . It's pretty stiff and not bouncy at all . It give 2.5 inch lift . I run this setup for stage rally but it's streetable . KYB KG4741 are stiffer than Bilstein 24-025386. The shock valving and spring have to fit together in order to have a great ride . If the car is bouncy le shock valving is to weak for the spring rate .
