Got a few of mine.

406-Z, what type of hood do you have? I am looking for an intake for my car now. I can't see that intake working too well on a stock hood or even a cowl hood for me! Most of the bays shown look great, and others, well... Nice ideas, all could be turned into a nice looking bay. Keep them coming!

 

Showing you all up with my freshly cleaned 2.5L pedal power!

 

Probably a Ram Air I or Ram Air II hood. That's the type of intake I'll be getting, though it only appears to be somewhat functional

 

I love how many of you all have reduced the clutter associated with thirdgen engine bays. My car probably has the fewest "dirt particles" of anyone...being that I completely went through every nook and cranny with a toothbrush oil and grease remover before painting/ceramic coating/powder coating everything. But as far as clutter, I'm just blown clear out of the water. Hat's off to LBSZ28BLOWN, IROCThe5.7L, and you others. :-) Having so many dang aftermarket wires running all over creation, it is dang near impossible to avoid the "snake effect." Here are some pics before the snake effect took action...

 

i had an idea that i thought would be really cool looking and i was wondering if any was tried it yet. take a carburated motor, put a blow-through cap on it like for a supercharger or something like that and putting the stock tpi air induction setup on it. i think i am going to try this when i get the big motor in

 

86IROCNJ & FyreLance....The hood is a Harwood 3" cowl. I glassed in the underside and cut a hole to mate to the air cleaner assembly when the hood is closed. It seales to the air cleaner assy. with closed cell foam that is on the underside of the hood. I fabricated the air cleaner assy. out of sheet metal. It represents many hours of fab work but it did gain me 2.5 to 3 mph in the quarter over the stock TPI air intake assy. It is a true functional cowl induction set up. I will post a pic of the underside of hood.

 

That sounds pretty interesting! Pictures would be cool. Thanks for getting back to me. Later

 

86IROCNJ.....here is a couple of pics of the hood.

 

the underside

 

I just finished (literally) painting the engine bay of my 91 RS. How is your's coming along?
This was so much work, it makes $750 sound worth while.

Anywho, may not be the prettiest right now, but am working on it. After looking at some of the setups on this page, there is work to be done with mine. Good job to all posters!

Let me know:
a) if you ever sold "your" car on e-bay (ref. punk that stole your pictures to sell a car on e-bay)

b) you have engine bay painted yet.

S-D

 

Tried to post finished pic, but file size is too big. Will crop and post later.

Best-

S-D

 

 

some nice bays people...........


no i never sold my car on ebay, nor did i bother to track down the kid who was doing it. i do have his name, address, and telephone number though.

ebay took care of it after so many people here responded! thank you everyone!


as far as mine............yes the engine bay is painted and it looks fantastic!! can't wait to show everyone....

in time of course.

 

one in the making

 

 

what the heck heres mine.. with 16,000 miles on it

 

alright posts from the past...

 

I've made some improvements

 

It might be old posts, but here's mine with 13k.

 

Here's mine!

 

Hey Ed looks really good...That image looks familiar can't wait to see what the engine looks like in there..

 

I'd say I got a good before and after pic

 

heres mine. i dont think its the cleanest but its good enough. this is really the only pic that i have. ill have to take more now that the car is all back together.

 

here is mine, kind of clean i guess

 

heres mine. Not bad if i do say so myself....esp with not to much work done to the motor.

 

I can't seem to find the pic I wanted, but you get the jist

 

Here's mine............

(Could use some more polishing and armor all on the rubber parts, but can you spot any dirt??? I haven't yet...lol )

 

Haha, the stick is a nice touch. Looks good otherwise

 

Here's mine.

 

an old pic, before the a/c delete box and battery relocation, with the nitrous still on. not really clean, but i wanted to be a part of the crowd......

 

and one from today. not clean, just unclutered.

 

mines clean comapred to what it looked like when I got the car. It's still a filthy mess though

 

coming along

 

a few nice looking pieces, you can see the quality in the build has really developed over the last few years. nice everyone!

 

anyone else notice Camnut's AC canister is black?

 

I've never cleaned an engine bay before. Does anyone have some special techniques or sugestions for me? thanks

 

gut it, clean everything, sand, sand, sand, clean it again polish it, polish it again, paint it. and be creative, experiment, dont be afraid to be different, make it unique, and you will stand out.

 

Where's the picture of "406TPI" or something similar? It's an all white bay with the tpi fins sanded down and custom smooth dizzy cover. Looks amazing.

 

Not the cleanest BUT mine is more about Go than show..

Sorry for the bad pic quality...Thje sun was behind the car/hood open...makes my firewall look blacked out..The firewall is a solid glossy flame red metallic..NO HVAC system at all... LOL

 

Looks to me like it was just painted black...If you notice his whole engine compartment is painted black.. Back when my car was more stockish I even DYED my Coolant and washer fluid bottles because the white is too prone to discoloring...I dyed it black and it looked 1000 times better..

 

Here are the newest:

 

Very nice engine bays guys! Awesome!!!!!!!!!Great post

 

heres a first time real pic of the engine bay since the swap i did over the summer!!!

 

I got ya covered buddy. I snapped this at the Trans Am Nationals a couple weekends ago. I immediately recognized the car from GCFBA.

 

Thanks for the compliments...here's a recent pic

 

That looks absolutley amazing, the only thing i can suggest is to run your plug wires underneath your headers. Is that plenum stock and you just had it machined down? i like that look, really clean and custom !

 

I am in awe of all the talented and hard working folks on this site. Take a bow everyone, you all deserve it
