Thanks for the link.
Seems like i'll be adding a polished timing chain cover to the Mix

- weapon R coolant overflow tank
- Nismo radiator cap
- Polished timing chain cover.
- Radiator hoses kit
- engine torque damper

 

It's not polite to shout

 

IMHO the best things you can do to clean up your bay really doesn't cost that much, but can take a long time to do; Wireless engine bay, and welded up/filled chassis holes. Finish it off with oem paint in the engine bay and raw uncut dopeness ensues. Next imo get a custom intake manifold. Cosworth may be good, but its not the 'dopest' thing out there. Maybe a gtr style twin intake, or a front intake. Better yet do a full custom itb setup. That will guarantee you the hottest sh*t. And again IMO dont stuff it with as much chrome and carbon as you can get, cuz that just looks tacky.
EDIT:
(i don't really care how the engine bay looks, im not a ricer... the closer to oem/stealth the mods look, the better)

 

imho, i would try to clean up as much of the factory wiring as possible, and do a few custom things here and there. i converted my front coolant crossover to an fitting and ss lining. heres a shot of mine (not finished) to get an idea. i still need to hide the chassis wiring and brake lines and respray the interior but you get the idea lol

 

^ Hot ! ?
i already have the cosworth installed so i don't think ide be able to get another intake manifold.

@Resmarted: i was considering the SFR intake manifold with twin TBs, but they never get back to me...

 

Man!!!! Whomever made that one-piece stock intake manifold did one hell of a job!!!!

Kinda reminds me of mine when I was turbo

 

Well this is a simple suggestion but how about the hood dampers. The zstore sells them for about $95 in CF. Prob cheaper if just regular polished. i was thinking of getting the carbon fiber for mine.

 

probably the same cuhrazy man that made the same turbo set up on my track car. think his cars red, and hes sexy as ***
