Cleaned my car and engine bay

Sorry about the crappy lighting in these but my camera blows, but in person it all looks twice as clean. There used to be oil and dirt stains all over the place, but I sprayed/scrubbed the entire engine and tranny down making it look really nice and bright now. There's a local Honda/Acura show here tomorrow I wanna check out and hopefully get some attention

btw I have an aem short ram and ngk plug wires installed since my last pics..

Tight ride, where'd you buy your projectors? Good luck with the car show.

Re: Cleaned my car and engine bay

looks like you upgrade ground wires on valve cover. i just made my own ground kit, did u make yours?, and if you grounded other stuff where exact points you ground? i'm looking for exact spots to ground.

Re: Re: Cleaned my car and engine bay

I used 4 gauge wire on the valve cover and one down on the tranny, that's it..

Re: Cleaned my car and engine bay

what to use to clean the underside of the hood, mines got some oil vapor stains from oil leaks buring on manifold, that won't damage paint?

Re: Cleaned my car and engine bay

soap and water should do it... This stuff I used for the engine said not to get it on the car's exterior paint so I guess engine cleaner isn't a good idea.
