    Look what I did this weekend!

    I've had the intake for a while now, but I got my valve cover from Jim and I put on some pretty loom and then cleaned the whole thing out at a car wash with some engine degreaser. It's starting to look pretty now!

    LX-i Girl, good thing you took a picture of it now, because it will soon be gray instead of white! but great job. It looks kind of Angelical


    PS. I did not know snakes in the engine bay were so popular.

    Ahh...the power of engine degreaser...

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!

    lol her engine bay was pretty dirty, but not very greasy.. the only bad part was under the exhaust manfold, eveything else just had a fine layer of dirt...

    it cleaned up nice though with the pressure hose!

    soon it will be lowered and her car will really start to look nice!

    there isn't a bracket, but it's at such an angle that it doesn't hit the brake line so it's not messed up, but chris' does hit his brake line, but he padded his brake line so it wouldn't get screwed up.

    Nice engine bay. I'm assuming the car must be nicer.

    haha i wish the rest of the car was nicer! the interior is going to be switched out with goldy's old interior which is very nice (although i wish i could afford to get leather) and my passenger side door has a nice dent in it (not from me, but previous owner). but when i get the dents out i plan to repaint it white and then do the interior carpets light gray, same with the seats, and then have all of the plastic pieces be white.....as for now, it's just going to have to look crappy until i have the money and time to get it perfect, but it will be one of these days!

    yo real nice... i'm just not a fan of anything white on a place on the car where it's going to be 1) dirty all the time or 2) having to be cleaned all the time in order to stay white.
