show off your modded engine bay!

[Johnybeas]

So I know mike has done some pretty painting etc. So here's a thread to show off all the dress up custom intakes etc that you've done to your SVX! so post pictures and post lots! I have a few ideas, but I'd like to see if anyone has anything I haven't though of that might look good. :)

Mine looks pretty normal at the moment. PWR rad, Hella horns, A/C system removed, got rid of the god awful battery box thing, GroupA crank pulley. I don't think I have a recent picture... But I might get somthing rather neat this afternoon. Stand by. It will also look much different come spring when it comes out of storage.

Last weekend. Crappy phone photo, and there are many small things which are removed at the moment because I'm diagnosing an issue.

Let's see some more photos, people :D

That is awesome bro. How'd you do it?

That is awesome bro. How'd you do it?

I took the long road. I polished it with a dual action sander, and then buffed it with an orbital buffer.

If I do another, I'd probably just get it powdercoated in a shiny silver.

However, I think I may do another one in wrinkle red when I do my turbo stuff, (piping, turbo housing, etc...)and make it look like it would have been factory. (ish)

Lovin the fuel pressure gauge.... what type of radiator is that freakin shiny?? Polished pwr?

SWEET!! Very nice man.

I'm loving the gold and the all black engine bays!! I'm working on ideas for a color scheme for the 3.3 I'm rebuilding for my rs.

Any more done up bays out there? Specially, the intake manifolds.

I liked the idea of sti pink for the vc's, im, and some of the covers, but at the same time I don't. The block, heads, and other aluminum pieces will be repainted aluminum, all black tubing and brackets pc'd black. I just want to do something rather eye grabbing for the ic and covers. Suggestions and PhotoShops welcomed, lol.

BTW, I'm planning to paint the car a metallic gunmetal of some sort, more dark then light. With a dark metallic gray on the rims.

[North Ursalia]

Mine is modded with 19 years of New England winters :lol:

Ewie & Hairy took some of mine when we had 5 SVXs out here in Auckland last March/April - never seen any of the photos though (hint hint)

[**Ewie**]

I only got some distance shots of your car with the bonnet up; nothing close unfortunately. Was too shiny, had to stand beack because of the glare :lol:
