Just figured I'd post up a couple pictures of the beginning of my motor cleaning. I had a buddy from school come down and help me out. The motor itself has 171k miles on it, runs like a top, however was very dirty. We started out with purple power. Obviously we had to be careful of the distributer, but all went well. We also began to hide a couple of the large plugs/wires, but this is just the beginning. The motor is a b18a in a 92 teg. Anyways, enough rambling, here are some pics...

Excuse the yellow hose, I haven't gotten a chance to get to a auto store and get a red or black one.

expletive that man, I think it looks really nice. however, a little lowering would be beneficial...
Otherwise, huge transformation, good work

 

Get those headlights the expletive out of here.

Definately drop it a tad or put the stock wheels back on. It looks ooogly with those wheels on.

 

You need to slam it, change the rims, change the headlights (even stock is better), shave that ugly red acura emblem...then it'll look 10977640432 times better

But at least the body looks to be in good shape...

 

engine looks good,starting to come along niecly

 

damn how did you let it get that dirty......

 

clean, but not cleaner then mine

very clean. that's how the engine compartment of my DA has looked for 16 years now...clean and stock all the time.

 

dang if anybody ever comes down to central FL like to go to disney or something i'll hook you up with discounts if you clean my engine bay . i got hook-ups in the attractions department, yo.

 

How often do you clean it and what do you use?

What can I do to make it look even nicer to the ones who said it doesn't look right. Im up for opinions.

 

very nice, i need to do it to mine also but.....question, did you just spray the armor all or rub it on?

 

Clean from before. What size are those wheels? Looks like 20's
