Complete engine bay cleaning

I spent a good day cleaning up my engine bay and changing the appearance... things include:

- Engine bath
- Wire looming on all exposed wires and lines
- Hid most of the hoses and wires
- Redid all vacuum hoses for a cleaner appearance
- Used protectant on all hoses and rubber surfaces
- Painted sparkplug cover silver with clearcoat
- Custom made turbo heatshield
- Half-polished tubo compressor housing

Here are some pics:



Enjoy

Before asking turbo questions, please browse through my turbopage first...

At first, I thought you were serious about the question because that's the type of email/PM's I get each day -- eh.. about 10 of them each day :p

Anyway Shook, my tranny did broke down and now it's fixed and up and running I just did it blazing fast that you didn't really took note of it

Now all it needs is a big fat turbo sitting in that engine bay

Tony -

Your car looks great, I love how clean it looks (and I'm not just talking about the engine compartment). Definitely one of the best-looking Gen3s, IMHO. Keep up the good work, can't wait until your tranny issues are solved and you can post some more videos :-)

Keep up the good work!

DJ
