Holy shit!! Thats insane!!! I remember running on the blacktop as a kid after getting out of my pool in the summer, you would see the water turn into steam - then my feet would burn. BURN! LolQuote:

Cleaned up some suspension parts to get it ready for new bushings.

Used a heavy duty foaming degreaser to break loose the heavy grease and dirt, worked wonders!

Now the elbow grease, a bit of dish washing detergent and straight to scrubbing it clean.

Borrowed a press off Mr spoon fanboy Billy. Got straight to testing it out but it soon got dark and had to call it a day.

Nice! Did you see [MENTION=28]Spaz[/MENTION]'s job on my intake manifold?
Yes, I saw the shaved intake manifold. Looked so good =]
Haven't updated this thread in awhile. Had a bit of free time this week to get a few things done and dusted off the things to do list.
I put on my Edelbrock 3 point tower brace to test fit and to see whether if I wanted to keep it the original black or go for something else. My friend Thanh mixed up a nice metallic black for me to use on my Advan rg's so I might consider doing my wheels, engine mount brackets and tower brace in the same metallic black.
Don't mind the amount of filth in the engine bay. I was waiting a few months for the paint to cure so that I could get started on sanding it back and polishing it up.....

I plan on purchasing my brake line tuck kit and my brake booster delete next week through Chasebay with a few guys.
Good stiff
Love the updates keep them coming
After a hard decision on what engine enamel I should use I decided on the Dupli-Color.
Picked up a can of high heat grey primer and 2 cans of aluminum silver enamel. I had so many colour choices to choose from but decided on aluminum silver purely on the fact that it would always look nice in a white engine bay regardless.

I always wanted new trims for the exterior of the car and was pretty close to purchasing some new OEm ones. A friend of mine has used trim paint/dye and it turned out top notch. He has painted/dyed them over 2 years ago and has lasted nicely. The option was too easy on whether to buy new tirms or give this a go. I think everyone would agree on going the cost effective solution first as the trim dye was only $25.
