My New Engine Bay

Right so today was a rainy day and rather than stay in the warm I decided to get myself wet. The results however I am happy with:

Now I realise I didnt actually say what I had done lol. Basically I had a friend acid dip, sand blast and paint my front rocker cover (one from a 3000gt) and my intake plenums. Had the rocker cover done red and the plenums done black. I think they look good, alot better than before!

A few things that are different from the standard rocker cover one being no mounting points for the IFS switch so I will have to secure that somewhere else and a couple other things but no majors.

Hope you enjoy the pics. If not I will get some more when she is dry lol

Looks nice!
Have seen the same trick with FTO front bank cover ;)

Cheers Tomasz, it looks better in the flesh and if you look at the dyno at 10:20 tomorrow you shall see it ;)

Think I need to paint the heat-shield and fuel rail now though as they stand out and ruin it lol

Cheers Alex, although the only bit I can take credit for is the swapping of the parts lol. I had a friend square away the smoothing and painting haha. Oh yeah and I havent even tested that it works yet either lmao.

Well I started her up and she idles fine so must be good! I'll find out on the drive over to Area 52 tomorrow if theres any issue lol

surely you mean FTO

that looks nothing like a 3000gt cover let alone the fact the 6g motor is 180degrees different to our 6a
