Wow its hard to believe that its the same car.

SL!M · 06-23-2003, 06:39 PM

good job, i know what I'm doin tomorrow! Can i get the gunk crap from like an autozone?

CXHatchback · 06-23-2003, 06:40 PM

Looks awesome but I think there's more to it than that
a little scrubbing wouldn't hurt

Bumnah · 06-23-2003, 06:44 PM

the mr2 was done exactly like it was stated in the article. not scrubbing or anything.

my friend who details says he's been doint it like that for years.

just follow the directions exactly.

KRiS1 · 06-23-2003, 06:46 PM

holy crap!!

blykins · 06-23-2003, 07:01 PM

Mine never gets that clean.

Mikey · 06-23-2003, 07:02 PM

So I can spray this gunk stuff all over my battery and dizzy?

Eee Pee · 06-23-2003, 07:03 PM

Simple Green does a pretty good job too.

Looks good d0od.

Newman · 06-23-2003, 07:05 PM

Damn... I need to you your homie fly out and do my DA like that. Since mine is my daily driver, it's looks like the first pic and I'm too lazy to go through your 12-steps-to-happiness process

.

SpoonFedHatch · 06-23-2003, 07:09 PM

just be sure to tape a plastic walmart bag over your dizzy and your air filter......then go to town!

soslodelsol · 06-23-2003, 07:11 PM

damn i never thought that stock ever looked soooo good for a da... great job YO!

mixmastabob · 06-23-2003, 07:17 PM

it's very simple man...

just cover/wrap your distributer up with a plastic bag, and then duct tape it so it doesnt slide off....do that for you air filter too....

if you allow the dizzy to get wet, bad things will come

Double_Dk · 06-23-2003, 07:27 PM

Little tip.... Make sure you rinse off that GUNK well. I thought I did, and all I could smell for a week was the product burning off my engine

TrickHonda98 · 06-23-2003, 07:28 PM

3 day-off list to-do
1. pick up new engine for the 98 civic
2. detail my 95's & 92's engine just like the one in the picture
3. find out why the hell my 92 keeps cutting off @ 3rd gear 4800 RPM's when boost occurs

ninety9ex · 06-23-2003, 07:29 PM

That's awesome, does it really work that well?

Ekizzle · 06-23-2003, 07:45 PM

Bumnah · 06-23-2003, 07:51 PM

i didn' make that link. it was forwarded to me by my friend.

that engine bay isn't mine. just a link i'm forwarding for everyone.

poison · 06-23-2003, 07:53 PM

looks good. I'm gonna have to try that.

Where do you get this Gunk stuff?

SMZ GSR · 06-23-2003, 08:07 PM

Gunk can be found at most car part stores. I bought mine at Kragen for cheap. This process works really well, but i little scrubbing wouldn't hurt in some places. Only thing i didn't like about Gunk was the horrible fumes...felt like i was going to pass out

Simple Green is also a great cleaner.

And yes cover the dizzy, air filter and alarm horn (if you have one)

EARLdaSQUIRREL · 06-23-2003, 08:10 PM

that gunk stuff can be found at autozone and is relatively cheap, the trick to all that is to use the foam spray,thats what gives it the brand new appearance

poison · 06-23-2003, 08:26 PM

You think the Gunk stuff is strong enough to take off things like this? I need to detail my engine bay badly!

SMZ GSR · 06-23-2003, 08:29 PM

just let it sit and maybe try a little scrubbing. Gunk is heavy duty stuff.
