Doesn't really look that nice to me honestly I've seen alot better to where it looks like there's just a motor in the engine bay that car desperately needs a wire tuck

Seriously dude? I think it looks amazing. There is always going to be one better but this one isn't bad. Look at my engine bay in my build journal and tell me this one doesn't look good after seeing that .

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

Dam that looks good!

 

[Dhan]

Looks good to me. They just need a brake and clutch fluid reservoir redux

And if you want a "just motor" look, get something pre-1970s.

A "wire" tuck? I barely see ANY wires. I see stainless steel braided lines that MIGHT look better with having them bundled together a little bit but that's super CLEAN in my opinion. I'd eat of that engine except that I'd get the engine dirty.

And to answer your question I'm pretty sure Dustin has an account on Tuners, that's his old shell though, he dropped the motor into a new one.

Yes wait a few weeks to see the new setup in the new shell. Completely different. Ill post pics when it done.

How about you wait until I can make it up there to finish it off? That way I can feel like I accomplished something sitting back drinking a beer while you do all the work.

Looks great! I really like how the BOV's are setup. The SS lines are a bit much for my OCD, but very clean nonetheless!

sick102985- Is your heat exchanger at the front or rear? We definitely need moar pics of this car.

 

[91stocker]

Looks like a cluttered disaster. Theres a lot of money there for sure, but a clean bay? Nope.


The vacuum lines need to go back to black rubber lines. All in ss looks gaudy and ricer-ish.

The vc breather lines should be moved to the top and left sides of the vc so the lines aren't doing laps around the bay.

Needs the throttle cable tucked under the IM, that looks awful on top.

That tiny fuel filter mounted on the top of the firewall is ugly and makes no sense. I mean, its not a big billet pc to show off, and your just making the lines unnecessarily visible further adding to the clutter.

Also looks tacky to mount the afpr up that high, when you could hide it so easily.

And that blue overfill line has to go, its an eyesore.

 

[sick102985]

Hey thanks for the input 91stocker. That small unnecessary fuel filter is a map sensor. Anyway, like i said, wait for the new setup on my new shell. Its not really for show its more for go. Let me know when you want to race bud. Can we see your engine bay?

Heat exchanger is in the back with the ice box

Ah, the flashy ss lines through me off. Looks like a golan filter from the pic.

Anyway, like i said, wait for the new setup on my new shell. Its not really for show its more for go.

Function over form

Let me know when you want to race bud. Can we see your engine bay?

I wasn't dissing your ride man, but way to take criticism


And just for kicks, here's a few clean bays to compare

 

[Miakehl]

^^^^^
OhMiGawd.

How in the heck is that blue bay even possible.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE IN THERE! O_O

 

[68442]

If you look the engine is not plumbed or anything, that's how.

 

[Chaosweaver]

So... Any of those your engine bay?

He no longer owns a dsm.

Bingo.

But that doesnt my change my right to an opinion.

 

[turbowop]

So easy to criticize when you have nothing of your own to show.

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

Bingo.

But that doesnt my change my right to an opinion.

Didn't say it did. And that wasn't an attack against you.

 

[AK Maniak]

So easy to criticize when you have nothing of your own to show.

Agreed. I wish my bay looked half as good as that.

 

[ktgurl87]

Looks better than mine...but that's not hard to do. As long as your engine bay is something other than shitty orange-ish it looks better than mine . But to me it looks...busy. like crowded. Good job though

 

[4g63t]

They look good but I am more of a function over form guy. I do keep a clean bay but will never go and shave it and extend /tuck/ hide fuse box's. I would rather spend my time in other areas on the car.
