looks great except for your lack of timing belt covers. seriously, when you drop something in there or suck something into your timing belt and wipe out a whole motor, you won’t think it looks so cool. for the clean look, i think it looks better with them on anyway. ---

i wish i had the time to do a clean build like that… and if your going to take timing covers off, either all or nothing. I have had zero timing covers on my ferio’s h22 since it was built… balance shafts and all. about a month ago i got a green eg w/b16 setup like your covers and had the ground bolt come loose and fall down in there… spit the timing belt off, but luckily didnt take the motor out. ---

Exceptional build. Great detail! I don’t know if I’ve either never seen, or never thought about the brakes… but that’s pretty cool! Gotta agree, all or nothing on the cover. Personally, I think that it would look better with the cover there. Even thought it hides how clean it is underneath… ---
