Lets see your engine bay!

Well I haven't showed anyone my finished JMF install and today I heat wrapped the exhaust mani and o2 housing and installed a jmf heat shield. So I decided to snap a pic of the finished product. There is still a ton of grease everywhere that needs to be cleaned but whatever I will get it done. You think I should get a spark cover?








I'm also interested in seeing everyone elses so post em up!

Re: Lets see your engine bay!

You def. need a spark plug cover. What you really should do is get an extra valve cover and have them paint it when they're painting your car....that would look tiiiiiiits.

Here's what the RS looked like.

Re: Lets see your engine bay!

StevieK- I personally think that a nice clean painted valve cover with the plug wires routed neatly looks better than a spark plug cover. I painted my valve cover myself and I think it turned out pretty good. It really wasn't hard. My engine bay looks pretty bad right now because I'm in the process of removing all unneeded hoses/wires. I'll post one up when I'm done though.

Re: Lets see your engine bay!

mine looks about as dirty as Steviek's... minus the pretty chrome SMIM and exhaust shield... i wish it was cleaner... anyone recommend a good way to clean up the engine bay? as well as keeping it clean? we tried to use "purple power" degreaser on a friends 420A, and it turned the unfinished areas of the block/head (bare metal) white... and it looks like crap... dont want that on mine... but if someone has a good way to clean everything up, that doesnt include 1000000 rags, and 3000 hours... i'll clean her up, and show her topless... but until then, cant show the goods...

Re: Lets see your engine bay!

Stop posting BS pics Brian. No pics from you until it runs.

Re: Lets see your engine bay!

I think we should ban Brian until the car is running and/or sold. Just so he can't tease us like that again. I remember when he first posted those pics... everyone was creaming themselves. Now they're like an old, over used hooker... just doesn't have the same value anymore.

And I only noticed the Craigslist thing because I edit the image to be shown, not a link. Totally over look all the details sometimes

Not true... It's like wine. It gets finer with age.
