Didn't even know they had such a thing

Here is mine.. Just painted the battery/Brake/Clutch fluid covers OEM Magnetic Black along with the black around the red on the engine cover. The red is the same color I put on my Akebonos, all flows nicely.

Don't mind the rubber and plastic.. haven't wiped down the bay yet this spring

press the studs out of the coil-overs turn the studs upside down and insert in the stock holes. Bolt the strut mounting plate up and weld the top of the studs to the shock tower. Make metal cover and wed into place. now the struts mount from the bottom. very easy to do looks really trick....

Sounds good, I'll check it out. Thanks!

The body work in your engine bay is definitely an inspiration!

I started tearing it down yesterday afternoon. First step is to get ride of the two brake lines that are showing. Then I need to figure out how to relocate and hide hide the ugly AC lines. If anybody has pointers on that, it would be appreciated.

Yeah, I'm on the fence about just deleting the AC, or trying to hide it all and still have working AC.. I still plan to drive the car once or twice a week in the summer and I do love my AC.

Plenum looks good but now you need more gold to tie it in.

I like that thought. I heard that removing the Timing Cover is a Pain however.. I was on the look out for a S13 coil pack ARC cover to mount in front of my timing cover... but maybe I should research gold polishing it instead and cost/time involved. Good suggestion.


And damn freddy, that is beautiful
