the red led by the intake is a nice touch

 

Thanks guys. The ARC intake stuff and air differsion panel are staying...oh and the red LED

I want to do a few things to the exterior still and selling off the pieces allows me to do that The engine bay is not really done as I would want it to be. For me to really finish it would require more time and money which I want to put less of into the car these days. Another factor for me is that I don't show the car as much anymore. I'm still going to do a few things in the engine bay but it will require far less money and little time...more OEM type cleaning/dressing up.

 

Sad to see your bay being parted out Chris, but I understand. Can't wait to see the stuff you have planned for your exterior.

 

I'm wayyy behind most of you guys, but I did add a piece today: NRG strut bar in CF. Now to polish that TB...and paint my tanks...and...and...

 

^ whoa, i like that color!

 

Did you do the paint yourself or have someone color match it for you?

Regardless tho, it looks great. Simple and clean.

 

Swivel the carbon emblem is a nice touch.

 

Thx, guys, just spray-canned it with matched paint. Still figuring out how much more to paint without it being too much. It's also cleared, but I still need to compound it to a gloss.

Fva, yeah, I thought the carbon emblem was marginally creative!

 

Lookin' good Swivel

 

you'll be so happy once you paint your tanks, looks so much cleaner

 

Im workin on it haha

 

I'm about to start my wire tuck in my engine bay but i have a question. I have a 2007 6mt coupe, the main harness that you can see in the front. When i tuck it it's going to be closer to the engine now and exposed to more heat. Should I plan on adding more insulation or will the stock insulation be good enough ? or what's your suggestion ?

I haven't seen a DIY for this so i will take lots of pictures to show others.

 

^Marcell,

If you plan on fully tucking behind the engine, you will need to unwrap the main harness and reroute a bunch of wires so reinsulating will be required. If you just want to tuck the harness between the plenum and timing cover, I would just do a few quick wraps of electrical tape.

 

Hey Sean thanks for the feedback, I think i'm going to go with the main harness between the Plenum and timing cover. To do the full tuck will i have to cut and extend wires just to get them behind the engine ? If not I may try behind the engine.

 

You can do it without extending any wires. When RRYDE did mine he didn't extend any wires. Its common to extend a couple of them though.
