dirty *** engine bay and sanded down car

 

Did the car have airbags or something..? Whats up with the cut shock towers?

 

when i bought the car it was like that... i guess the people were to lazy to lift car to adjust the camber kit so they cut a hole to adjust it... the world may never know... hoping to do a huge wire tuck... any insight would be nice on the tuck i have read page after page on the wire tuck thread

will be back with new pics in a bit will have all wiring removed from bay!!!! updates soon

 

Oh boy...the things riceboys do these days...good god.

Yeah, I kind of made an opened comment, I guess I should've been clear how I was directing it. I was saying it because the prior owner cut out the strut towers, I wasn't saying anything negative against your build.

I actually like the charge pipes...something different, and camo always pleases

 

He was probably commenting about the squares being cut out.


I like the camo.Did you spray the couplers too? I don't know how it would hold up on silicone.Sounds like it's going to be a nice build

 

ya i painted them... as soon as my intercooler arrives i will be welding my bov flange onto the hotside entank... and then painting it also.... the car will be a olive green color with the black and tan blotches....

Exactly....

 

what can i do to eleminate the small fuel line in the engine bay???? i will be running a walbro if that matters it has a small bend in it and i would rather make it all look alot nicer... wanting to have a clean engine bay... im not gonna weld it up but i am gonna try to make it look nice..

 

****update**** ordering stainless steel clutch line from mc to slave... woot woot

They have small fittings that convert hard line to a/n stainless braided line. Search around in the FI forum, it was posted about three months ago.

 

i found it last night thanks for the help.... gonna convert that also to stainless

 

got the hard fuel lines cut and ready to convert to SS lines... need to get some of those bolts for distributing power from one side of firewall to the other...similar to distribution block but its a bolt style... cant seem to find any

 

I really like the camo idea, now go get a better camera so we can see it better.

 

u should get your vavle cover powdecoated in camo

I'ma have to second that motion.

 

that would be extremely hard to powdercoat a camo pattern...if you could even do it at all.
