I don't like the acid trip look personally. I'll stick with the stock engine bay.

Get rid of the engine driven fan, go electric.
Get a direct fire ignition.
Toss the a/c

If the Joker owned an RX-7, I guess that's how he'd do the engine bay.

What is the tube for by the passenger side headlight. Is there a cover that goes over the air filter and that is cai?

I looks ok...not my style. I see too many vac lines and whats the deal with a/c anyway.

Bloody Aussie's. That's not a fuel filter after the regulator is it? It's kind of hard to follow the lines, but...

That's actually the driver's side. Notice where the brake booster is? But yeah, it definately looks like part of a cai.

And what is with the fuel filter after the regulator? Cause that definately wouldn't have a dampening effect on the pressure at the carb.

Other than that, and the paint job, it looks pretty well done.

Ok, how about instead of criticism, people post THEIR 12A engine bays that look BETTER?

Yes, that's bait. Take it. I'd love to get some inspiration to clean mine up a tad.
