I was just DIY to put BOV / Cold air intake into my car ..

Man ..  I told myself I will never DIY again ..  took so much time ..  but I was half way done .. intake part isn't too bad ..  but BOV .. took me like half day ..  

For just $500-600 labor ..  I should let technican to do it for me ..    but I was inpatience!  and I think I screw up the MAP sensor too ..

CP, I didn't know you're mechanically inclined..

Which guy isn't ? ( wasn't? )  I did lots of DIY myself when I was teenage ..  but now ..  3X yr old ..  I shouldn't DIY anymore .. not worth it .. but .. " wash wet the head " ... so ..

It is a "STEP" when you were  young .. you would do something stupid ..  when I was young ..  my car is my car .. and I thought that is the only car I hv for my life ..  so .. spending thousand of dollars on it ..  and thought is was cool ..  and fun ( lots of DIY ) always think, spending $5K on it ..  it will be better then another car worth $5K more ..  but .  I was wrong ...

I can't understand kids spending $10K on his $5K worth Civic ..  however, it was fun, part of the hobby, like building models .. etc ..  it is a "RPOJECT"

Sigh ..  old now, like everything close to stock, if spending too much money on a car, better trade it up for a better one, since there are always better car around!
