I've always wanted a polished plenum, but I'm pretty happy with my powdercoated Crawford plenum.

Good job on that polished plenum!

 

Thanks Kno!

Smoothz- Those crawford pieces are real nice I've heard. I'm not gonna go crazy with it and polish everything, just doing small stuff. Polished strut bar, arc intake, maybe sleeve the hoses.

 

Had CF sides sitting in my garage and finally put them up for sale. I sold one set for cash and I had the other set that I was gonna sell BUT I got offered a trade so I figured why not. Got a Neo grinta personal steering wheel and a burnt titanium nismo shifter. Gonna be selling the burnt titanium nismo shifter if anyone's interested.

Also on the way is a Seibon TS CF Hood, should be here in about a month and a half.

 

Haha ah yes, I'm really dead now. My dad said "Stop buying car parts."....so I've been trading.

Anyone know where I can get brackets fabbed to mount these in the Z?

 

Just a simple polished stock plenum... even with stock engine cover, oraint, or CF (plenty of those cheap) can set a long way. DO IT, don't half *** it!

Nobody saying you SHOULD this

Sorry for hijack

 

Is that your engine bay? I'm curious where you got the fluid tank.

And I agree. I saw this engine bay pic and it really is what I'd like to make mine look like. My car is a daily driver and it's not like it's a show car. I don't need it to look awesome, but polishing up the plenum and buying a polished strut bar really does a lot for the engine.

I'm hoping I can dig out the palm grinder tomorrow after I finish working on the Z. I've been hand sanding it down and it's working just really tedious.

 

nice progress!!
thats an evo 8 seat right? i think you can check out planted technology they have brackets for our car and universal side mounts.. you can prob attached those to evo 8 stock rails with a little modification..

post up your results when you get it in..

 

Keep up the good work!
If you ever come to the Cerritos meet, bring your drum set - Drum off.

 

yes it is... custom made tanks, oilcatch...T-...etc

glad to gear you continue to move forward with engine bay. Find a good used cf engine cover after polish... Or paint car color....CAI will also help make it stand out. The just keep it clean.

 

Thanks for the compliments you guys!

And haha I actually sold almost all my instruments minus my 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars. I'm definitely planning on going to the next meet though. I'm putting in a request to work an early shift that day so hopefully I'll actually be able to come!

Today I put on my blacked out lights, changed the oil and put a K&N drop in air filter just to hold me over until I have spare cash for that o-so-shiny arc intake. Also I finally got the notification that my custom plates are ready. Got dark before I could take any good pics so I'll post some in the morning.

 

The guy with the Evo seats bailed D: Oh well

So here's officially all the goodies I got this weekend.
Just slowly gonna be working on polishing the plenum, maybe doing some suede stuff on the interior and saving for the paintjob from here out.

 

Played around with PS and put up a pic of my car on instagram. Thought it looked pretty good so I'll share it up here.

 

Got a DSLR. Full photoshoot is planned for Tuesday, but here's a couple pics I took. Also gonna be taking pictures of the saleen mustang today, it's going up for sale.

 

in for progress

 

Here's some of my dad's car. Asanti's, full engine bay is done up, and it's clean as hell with only 4k miles on it. I took the noob pictures. Pro pictures were taken a while ago by Drew Phillips.

 

Nice Mustang. I love the Hurst shifter. I had one of those back in the day and it shifted beautifully. Here is a picture of my Hurst (not a very good picture, but it is the best one I have.)

 

Very big week this week!
My dad sold his mustang, I start my new job tomorrow, and my polished plenum and new center console are here!

Now that I have weekends off and will be working more I should have some more spare change to put into my car, progress will be picking up real soon!

Anyways, I'll add the pics into this post once I get some nice ones. Right now I'm unsure what to do about the center console. Original owner partially sanded/filled it to remove the texture so I'm going to complete sanding it and am debating between repainting it flat black or getting it repainted silverstone when I take my car to get painted.

 

Seibon hood is still on backorder. Might be picking one up locally on saturday.
Polished plenum and carbon fiber air division panel are ready to install, just waiting on some dressup bolts before I put them in.

I played with my DSLR so here's a couple pics.

 

how long did it take you to polish the plenum?

 

Great progression. Nice job!
