My G35c Reborn

So, now that I'm no longer relocating to Asia, I'm keeping my G. Over the weekend, I made an upgrade and cleaned it up.

EDIT: Pictures have been resized and can be found on page 2 of this thread.

Pretty happy with both. Exhaust note is noticeable especially when firing up the car and at WOT. At idle, it's a tad louder. In cabin, is hardly noticeable.

good job on cleaning the engine bay.

I bet it was hard. Lots of scratches on your hands ha?

How the hell did you get it so dirty in the first place.

I clean my engine bay every saturday. It's freaking spotless.

I used a product called "Simple Green" which I bought at Canadian Tire. It's simple actually, just spray, wipe clean then rinse with water.

Never been cleaned since 2003.. I guess that's why..

What product do you use? I actually didn't have to get my hands in those tight spot. The solution really took care of the dust and grease built-up.

Damn, you caught me...

Nah, took it w/ my 10MP D80 DSLR. But it has been resized to 968x648. Maybe you should increase your resolution to at least 1024x768.

I'm more impressed with how clean it is underneath the car. No winters?

I think the cleaniness underneath is due to the location of the old exhaust. The metal you see was previously covered by the huge resonator box. It has seen 1 Winter otherwise.

Thanks for the comments!

Exhaust...

Not a huge exhaust guy - meaning i know very little about Greddys - what model is this you installed (EVO II?). Where did you buy it from and what did you pay?
Thanks,
A
