Gofer, what's up with that black DSM badge on your firewall?

Just the VIN plate.

Clean bay, go and pick up MB895813 and MB895999 from Mitsubishi and clean up the brake master cylinder (new cap and diaphragm). It'll cost you about $20.

This is a slightly older picture, I did some more cleanup since then. I will be installing the upper timing cover when I do the timing belt soon.

I'm really torn on whether I want to paint my new JMF COP plate black or not. I really like how the black COP looked before. But, the JMF plate piece is soooo nice in its raw finish, and I would feel like an idiot spray painting such a nice part. Then, on the other hand, I feel like it's just too much bling for my taste.

Thoughts?

+1 for the black COP plate.
But I would rather anodize it instead of spray painting it.

I actually cleaned that up last week, thought I was going to have to get a new one but with a tough brush and degreaser it looks new again. Didn't take a picture of it though

After I cleaned the underside of the hood you could see how yellow and dirty it really was !

I hate polished but I think in your case it works well with the bay, especially since you've got the VR4 IC pipe routing. Your IC piping is polished so it pulls that from the VC as an accent color, kind of like pulling the color off your walls in the living room by adding accent pillows on your couch with the same color on them. It's an interior decorating trick.

Not quite finished yet but getting there. Harness still needs I/O verification then sleeving/heatshrink and the brake and clutch reservoirs badly need new or repainted caps.

there is a lot of clean engine bays in this thread even thought didn't look at every single one.

 

[dfootedsm]

I like seeing all these bays, the attention to detail and time some of you guys spend on them with wire tucks is awesome. This is my most recent with the Zaklee gear cover, BC cam gears, modified water pipe and t-stat housing, and the custom VIN plate. HOPEFULLY I can catch up to you guys with the fusebox relos, tucks, P/S deletes this summer and clean it up some more.

Looking through all of these as well as some of the DSM profiles then looking at my engine bay is so depressing... Some of them engine bays are clean as can be with very good wire tucks. I need to work on my tucking skills

 

[gsxrunning]

Love the look of the COP setup and the custom spark plug covers.

 

[gsxrunning]

Is gamble97 still making those? I need one.
