Finished swap Pix

though I would post a pic of my completed swap,

http://members.rogers.com/dlsp/finished-swap.jpg

works well though I have been bitten by the "MORE POWER" bug... but gotta figure out how to do it first... N/A Vs. FI...

Also guys (and gals) you think I should paint my engine bay ? I kinda like it white... matches the rims... I do plan on getting an other coat of paint soon (EBP base clear with lots of pearl) to fix some rust that is creaping up. and wonder I i should Pull the engine for that... I do at least plan on gettin the underside of the hood painted or gettin a Carbonfiber one... i'm thinking maybe a ZC one... screw with peoples mind a little...

feedback would be apreciated.

i like the white under there, it goes nice.

hey man do u still want my tails, cuz ill throw em on ebay if ya dont?

yea i wouldnt change the color of your engine bay, i would just keep it white

but hey looks really good.

i want the tails... just a little strapped for cash right now. if you can sell em to someone else go ahead. it may be a few more weeks t'il I have the cash to pick em up...

ill hold em for you i dont care.

Nice Car:smile:. Keep the engine the way it is looks nice ass hell. In my own opinion I would go FI. Good Luck.

i like the way it flows with the rims :bigthumb:

only under the hood... ran out of simple green. it's just weird since the pic was taken at like 9:30 where it just started getting dark give a weird look to the picture.

YO! go have another drink!!!!!:iceslolan

k-drum i love how the white is too, id say leave it.

Not finishing a piant job, is like doing a shitty motor swap.

It's nice to see a custom color on a car, until you pop the hood. Its kind of a let down, in my opinion.

Who cares? Its under the hood where its all business. Your car most likley isn't a show car, I personally wouldn't waste the time, money, and effort to paint inside the engine bay.

Do you degrease your motor, clean your engine bay? If so why?

Obviously some people care. Thats why he asked, and thats why we all give our opinions.

Nope. Why? It doesn't really matter to me.. Its under my hood, as long as everything works I don't see why have it clean. My car is a car and I treat it as such, if it gets dirty under the hood its no big deal to me, its under the hood where only certain people get to see anyway..

Pride? I like my stuff to be neat, and squared away.

But hey, keep up the dirty work, someone has to do it.

you mean like thousands of people that you have never met from the interweb????(good way to keep it secret):bloated:

I like to keep the enginebay clean in order to spot oil coolant leaks early, hard to do it your whole block is covered in oily sludge.

im with siz .... it aint a show car so theres no point in cleanin the engine bay ... what a waste of time ... shits just gonna get dirty again (and yes even though I feel this way about the exterior also i clean it when it gets REAL dirty)

I with kris and kunundrum here. Its easier to spot leaks when an engines clean.

My engine has a couple of leaks around the tranny.. Its kinda hard to keep up with how fast it can get dirty, so I don't see why bother.

I don't care about people seeing what I have under my hood either.. My car isn't a sleepAr, or a show car. I just do mods so I can can enjoy them, and thats my car that I enjoy. I'm just sharing how messy mine is because it doesn't matter.

I can't put over keeping an engine bay clean enough. I keep the engine bays of both of my cars just a step below "clean enough to eat off of." People who don't know jack about cars, or even care to know jack about them, are still very impressed when I pop the hood of either car. And of course, it is amazing how much less "greased up" you get from diong anything from checking your spark plugs to replacing a head gasket. And it really isn't that hard to do. Unless you drive on dusty or muddy roads frequently, a good spray down two or thee times a year is about all it takes. It is worth the effort of keeping them clean in so many ways, as far as I am concerned, besides the cosmetic issue.

^^^WERD^^^i think keepin a clean engine bay is like making your bed u dont have to do it u jus should....:sly:

I AGREE

I clean my engine bay both for show and practicality. I like messing around with the engine, and it makes it so much easier/fun to mess with the engine when it's clean.

i like the white to......most of the time it will look stupid but it goes good, nice job.......hows the b16 going for ya?
