My engine bay

[markyboy.1967]

A few of the local guys may have seen my engine bay pics posted on another forum. I thought i should post them on here as well.Basically the engine has been my work over the past 2 years where it was once to totally standard black rough cast engine bay. Since then its been constantly evolving into the way it is in these pics. It started inocently with a little Megs APC and when that was all done it let me see what i needed to do to make it just the way i like it.I have had all the usual cuts , bruises and grazes in the process but im ust about finished now. Only got a bigger set of turbos, AFM`s and turbo elbows to be fitted and she is complete--hope you guys like this and appreciate all that i have gone though with this build.

That is a seriously sweet looking engine bay! I'm not normally a fan of neons, but on the rocker cover there, they look just spot on. Cracker! :thumb:

[markyboy.1967]

Totally agree about neons.I hadly ever put these ones on and they will be for show use just to add that little bit extra to the engine bay.

Thanks for all the comments so far guys...

[Alex L]

Sounds nice :D get some rolling road vids.. i love hearing these types of engines when there RR'd i remember when my mates supra went on the RR'd and it was like lag lag lag lag and a big sucking sound and from there on it just went mental :lol:

Looks like a pretty engine bay and the car looks stunning mate.. just nice and subtle not too ott as some skyline people do as i can't see how they drive with 1000bhp every day :lol: i cacked my pants in my mates 700 odd bhp supra.. but thank god it had a switchable map for everyday use... otherwise he'd be going sideways everywhere haha

[james_RScos]

Very nice one hell of a clean motor, love the workshop is that your garage?

[Fat Audi 80]

Very very very nice.

I love the illuminated cam cover! Never seen that before...

Given me a few ideas for my engine!

cheers,

Steve.

[markyboy.1967]

Its never been done before. An idea i had after seeing the uprated colpacks i fitted. The other guys seem to change the plaque on the plug cover so i decided to to take it off and then cut away the cover itself. It was a bit of work as it needed smoothing etc to get it looking right.Im now very happy with the engine bay. It does need some more powder coating of parts though and she will be finished.

[182_blue]

looks superb that, nice car

Gorgeous car, loads of work done there and very professionally done 2. Great stuff :)

That's THE nicest Line I've ever seen...oh my, moist! :lol: :thumb:

[markyboy.1967]

:D :D Thanks guys... Glad you like the pics. Still got quite a bit of actual cleaning to be done. The bulkhead and the bottoms of the inner wings still need to be done but thats a tight area to get to by hand and i dont ever ever put any hose or power washer near the engine bay.

Got her out of hibernation yeasterday and gave her her first good run since some mods were done and my god im in love all over again--felling like a teenager once more....

[Ciaran]

[markyboy.1967]

[Ciaran]

I'm up in Salsburgh mate just before harthill, im usually kicking about airdrie though :) hope i see the liner about :D
