Default Engine pic from ebay.

50th POST!!! ok anyway...


Don't you just love it when they clean up the engine real nice for you. Too bad this guy didn't. Car is nice, it's a 35th, but man the engine is terrible, car is on ebay.

:leaving: :nono:

I agree that grey has got to go. MAYBE if it were a grey car but still its too dull and boring. IMO paint it black, silver or polish it (the coolest of all). Heck if its a 35th maybe even make the plenum and runners white...that might look decent but it might also look crappy. I'd have to see it to decide.

Actually, it doesn't look too bad. I think the valve covers and plenum have been powdercoated. Everything else in there looks ok, so I'm thinking the dirty look is an optical illusion. Not a real flattering choice of color though.
