oh ok i really would like to buy a ARC strut....but i´m not 100% sure if it would fit with my ING´S hood(cause the oem strut is rubbin a little bit, not too bad).would be nice if i had some measurments for reference....but don´t know where to start. maybe you could do some measure for me....just use a point let´s say on the engine as zero and measure up to the highest point of the strut....than i´ll do the same with my oem one and we´ll see what happens

Wow, there is a severe lack of HR's in this thread. I guess I'm going to have to step up my game.

Everyone's looking good by the way

Installed polished throttle body. This could be the last photo of my engine bay without FI!

^
- the coolant overflow is a universal weapon-r tank.
- the power steering fluid reservoir is by NRG, but they are VERY hard to find these days
- the catch can is by circuit sports. they're more popular with the bimmer guys, and fwiw, i can't honestly recommend it. you need to put in your baffling to help the vapor condense, the fittings do not have a standard thread size, and, if you're boosted with a hose to the manifold, you may get a little oil seep out at high boost. it looks nice, but its definitely not plug & play.

Thanks for the info! You have the best engine bay in this thread.

One more thing: is the PS reservoir Z/G specific or universal?

thanks man, but i've relied a lot on this thread and the one on driver for inspiration

i believe the NRG power steering reservoir is universal.

Yes - I used silver engine enamel on my plenum. I plan to have it media blasted and coated to match the intake tubes when they go in for ceramic coating.
