So I Cleaned my Engine Bay Yesterday...

[Chim55117]

And it's still dirty... Aww man...



And I let my white friend back out my car. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif



No corners or foglights since the new ones are coming in. And no JDM-ish hood because Crisman hasn't gotten back to me.

Thoughts? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

Eh.. to fix your problem, you need to send me your radiator, intercooler piping and valve cover. Really, its for your own good.

 

[Chim55117]

Yea, they're too dirty to clean. I'll be sure to ship them to you right away. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

get a pic of the whole engine instead of a side view /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif What kind of radiator is that? Can you get some more pics up? I may go with that kind of radiator next year so I can fill in a bigger turbo XD.

Nice!

Is that a Honda Civic radiator?
Also JDM RS bumper..

That sure looks like a civic radiator. I know, I had one too.

 

[Chim55117]

It is indeed a civic radiator. As for that full shot of the engine bay, here is one that I took a few days back.

 

[2of9]

with that civic radiator, is there any change in water temps going up or down? What kind of battery is that? nice setup.

 

[Chim55117]

It is a eBay style civic style radiator. I do not remember which brand. The cooling fan is a 10" Flex-A-Lite fan. I have not logged in DSMLink to find out if I am running any cooler, but it stays dead in the center on the temperature gauge. That is an Oddesy racing battery. It works, but it often is overworked and dies. I'm planning to relocate the battery to the back and run a Red Top Optima battery.

that grille definatly makes it look dirty too ... I'll pm you my address to get it off your hands

 

[boostin4door]

Nice clean engine & car.
Is that the CF grill from cali[Paulo?]? if so how long did it take for you get yours?
Mine took 3 months... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif but I love it & get alot of positive feedback on it.

ps...nice Honda rad. Looks like the CXRacing Rad. on Ebay. I've been thinking about that also for more space.

Looks good. Engine is 10k cleaner than mine.

There are some leaves in your cowling on the passenger side.

I would get your wiper arms blasted and powder coated.

Your strut brace is only attached by one bolt on each side. If you get a non-cruise throttle cable you can ditch the cruise and flip it around to use both bolt holes. If not, you can put an extra bolt through the strut tower.

Ditching the ABS will also clean up your engine bay quite a bit and allow easier access for maintenance.

 

I got a dual gauge pod off of paulo that mounts in the speaker basket on the dash, and it took a good month in a half. Then when he finally shipped it and got me tracking info, he shipped to himself.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
