Ok im looking for some constructive critisim for this tuck....I dont want people to be hateful and i know its dirty as hell, but if you have some ideas on what would make it pop let me know. Im pulling this motor out to rebuild so nows the time.



ps......i know i have a water bottle as a overflow, its being adressed

 

looks clean as is well its dirty but you know what i mean haha.
only suggestions i have are
1. clean it up...some purple power or simple green will do the job.
2. polish some stuff...some like it some don't up to you tho..buddy of mine is gonna do his fuel rail and intake and heat shield..i did my valve cover and headers
3.respray/powder coat/clear
4. k swap hahah jk
its all up to whats your style and budget too tho.
but regardless one clean bay as is.

 

an engine bay respray would be really nice, sometimes the paint starts to look tired and beaten up after all these years.

If you cant afford a baller paintjob for the bay, ive seen people find oem colors in rattlecans and do the bay themselves; for example, WhiteSlipsWithStickers rattlecanned his eg's bay and I have to admit it is one of the nicest lookin ones ive seen... Ill try to post pics. Gl with the rebuild man.

^this too^

 

Pull motor, paint, clear, wax on.

 

Thats a real nice tuck!!!!


As for my advice:
-Powder-coat the valve cover+intake a nice color
-Use the stainless steel bolts+washers
-Simple green+pressure wash
-Polish your strut tower bar and fuel rail with MOTHERS
-Get a new slim style fan

 

Get a new coolant reservoir.

And a cai

 

Thanks for the comments guy. I had orignaly planed on painting the bay but i never could decide what color, so thats still a factor. As for polishing, i planned on having everything that can be polished. I also need to get some plugs for the firewall, if anyone knows where to acquire those at a cheaper price than ive seen at honda.
