Please excuse the smoke covering the engine, it melted the line for the oil pressure gauge and sprayed oil all over my engine which in turn ignited :eek:

Thats all for now, let me know what you think

Unless that's a very faded blue, I've never seen that color before. Welcome to the boards.

Very nice setup! Clean up that engine though! haha. I like the color of the exterior :)

Dane- the car had to be repainted as the engine bay color is grey/silver.

Welcome to the boards. Is there a reason you are running a 2900 and a 44mm Tial?

That baby blue is kind of nice, I think. The opposite of the neon green and orange painted Hondas running around.
And until I read the rest of your post I was thinking you needed a new valve cover gasket pretty bad, lol

Yea, it was repainted before I bought it. It is a nice color but there are a few defects so when the point comes for me to get a cage i'm going to gut the car and have it all resprayed in black... black = good ;)

Cause I am a sore loser :p

Actually the "overkill" stuff is in preperation for the g4cs (6 bolt 2.4l) engine I am working on but never seem to have enough money to finish.

I have cleaned up the engine again but I still need to get the coolant bottle and such straightned out so it still looks kinda bad.

Thanks for the compliments guys :)
