Well i got a new Digital Camera so i went crazy trying to use it and took some pics of my dirty ass engine bay. :ugh: its filthy. Anyway, the camera is a Kodak CX7330 and it takes some decent pics but its just a freebie, so i was like whatever. so here are the pics. u can click on them to get it bigger.

NOTE: 56K users, the pics are of high quality and will be slow to download.

I just checked my odometer today and im in the 193K area. I took the car out with 164K last october. which means i have put on 29,000 miles in 14 months. Jesus thats a lot of fucking driving. no wonder my engine bay is dirtier than my ass............ (its just a joke guys, pleast dont take it literally, im actually clean most of the time :D )

lol im sorry steve.

PS: For anyone who is running XP there is a useful tool under XP power toys or something and its called image resizer, Its part of the xp add on programs and does not take up a whole lot of space and its integrated into the right click menu so its easy.

I read up on the specs there and notice that it is pretty good for free!

yeah, the camera is easy to use and one thing i need to get is a memory card so i can take more than 13 pics. But for a freebie, its not shabby like u said. its actually my sisters, but i use it now so i can take some pics. Ill prolly take more of the car's outside after i get a wash tomorrow and prolly some pics of my sis' 2005 TL.

some old pictures 14,000 miles before, (this summer). things that are different from the below pics (old) to the pics in the first post (new) are

1) efi speedo cable
2) new pcv valve and hose, breather hose
3) new and re-routed all vacuum hoses and connectors
4) removed the AC core from the inside
5) new lower hose and heater core
6) new radiator
7) bracket holder for the pwr steering upper hose
8) replaced timing belt cover
9) new fuel return hose from regulator (the other one got cut by the alt belt since it was too damn low, had me puzzled why i smelled gas in the cabin)

10) much dirtier engine bay and valve cover.

the 5spd efi and auto Throttle cables are the same, just like the 5spd and auto Carb throttle cables are the same.

Carb and Efi throttle cables are different. Carb is much longer

Efi and Carb Speedo cables are Different.

The cable that connects from the pedal to the TB is the same. However, on the automatics, there is another cable that goes from the TB to the tranny.
