shave only if you pull the motor out.

you could tuck quite a bit of little things on a bored day tho. i did.

removed power steering. already no abs.
a few bundles of wires and plugs here and there. i just need to hide the 2 main harnesses on the left and right

Shaving is filling the holes in and repainting after doing a tuck.

Like this.

Just so you guys know, Im pretty sure thats a RHD CRX or some sort of older civic. Its not an Integra picture.

When you guys eliminate the power steering do you just take the pulley out and all the fluid or do you swap the rack and pinion for a manual one as well?

i knew it wasnt an integra, but its still sexy as hell

i pulled out the whole system and looped the in/out on the steering rack to keep it lubricated.

I think i'll be cleaning up the engine bay soon. I'll be welding in it to completely finish the repair of the wrecked front, so I think i'll cut some sheet metal out and fill in every little hole.

these cars can steer without power steering from the factory

shaving is filling in the holes in the engine bay by welding them then sanding it flat.
