Who has the nicest 420a engine bay?

It's the TCU.

Must only be the 95 auto TCU cause I had a 1999 GS auto and it didnt have 2 units in the engine bay like that...my TCU was behind the radio.

It's the OBx manifold and I just coated it and put a couple layers of clear coat on. It comes SS when you buy it. If someone is still selling them def pick one up they''re high underated. While I can't speak for longevity yet because I haven't seen it under boost but it's build quality is a lot better than bpeople think.

[1996dsm]

i have to agree that is a nice manifold.

[Blackndropped]

It is but I don't really trust OBX though....but maybe it's really underated

Depending on where you are going to be ordering from, expect to wait a few months...

Thats what i have heard, but all the stuff I have ordered so far has gotten here in a few days. I got everything but the turbo and the IC stuff, the intercooler i will be picking up from hahns this weekend, i live pretty close to them, so that makes things nice.

What the hell. No one likes a 2.4 turbo/megasquirted engine bay.

[Locke]

You're not the first.

[EsiGoneT-Esi]

we should make a poll because this is turning into another "post your engine bay" thread! Im taking this one guys!

[chris712vt]

ooh ooh I want in on this fun!

Here are a couple pics from a while ago. Hopefully soon I'll have my AC and maybe my PS out of there, and my new fuel lines and some little odds and ends. Clean it up a bit. But for now here's what it looks like (and one pre-turbo ):

[LD25Delta9]

Chis712vt wins hands down. that gold is sexy. I was thinking about doing that with my VC before it goes in. That's just gorgeous man. makes my ol' lady look weak. HA!

[chris712vt]

haha thank you very much. I have to say though I wish mine were as clean and simple as EsiGoneT-Esi's, I've always liked his setup.

[Slippi84]

I still haven't unleashed the secret weapon
