Musashi:

 

What are you looking for in particular?

 

does anyone run hood liners on there FB's ? my hood is shitty looking under and i wanted to run a liner to keep it cleaner looking, just wondering where i could pick one up from ..

 

They never came with hood liners I don't think. I've never seen one.


Here is mine. It get most of the engine.

 

 

 

Nice seanrot, hows that working out for you btw?

 

 

Here's one from the passenger side...

 

Still tuning, but hopefully in a month or so I will be really happy with it. Just waiting on jets for the carb.

Great picture!

Now, I have a question. In my engine bay, on top of the motor, there are quite a few plugs not connected to anything in the area I circled on the last picture. What are those for?



Oh and my air filter looks very similar and the carb set-up as well...is this the stock Nikki carb? Looking at pictures, my carb doesn't look anything like it....looks more like this...maybe I'm looking at it wrong, or maybe I'm just clueless when it comes to carburators. Help! Hehe I need to figure out what it is so I can get a rebuild kit.

 

my new little 13b =)

 

Here's mine....still not done with it yet though.

 

Here's a pic of my old dirtyass nikki turbo setup


I'll put up a pic of my new setup in a couple days.

 

I've been trying to post a picture of mine for 2 days now, wtf is up? You don't need anything other than the OEM hood liners, imo.

Most people don't keep the engine as clean as the outside, and the whole engine bay looks bad as a result. If you take the time to clean it once in a while it should look like this:

 

(cdrad) did you notice any gains in power with the intake filter cover trick? im thinking about doing that!

 

Yes. I put it in at the same time than my K&N filter, and the combo gave me a noticeable power gain.

 

I've been wondering about that setup too. Just how noticeable and when?

I'm thinking I should get something out of it since I'm running headers and free'd up exhaust...

 

how do you extend the bolt to put the wing nut on

 

Noticeable enough that you know you are not imaging it. It happens especially on the 2nd half of the rpm band. Yes you should definitely feel it if you have a free flowing exhaust but have done no mod to improve intake.

jason_child: there is a 4-5 inches hexagonal rod that bolts on the stock thread and has a thread on the other end for the wing nut. Comes with the kit.

 

well what you were looking at was a 12A bridgeport with a 48IDA Webber. The stock nikki sits a lot lower and flows a lot less.

the plugs your talking about sound like the emissions gear... well its pretty obvious i dont have it (yay for no smog laws). if the car runs fine then i wouldnt bother... maybe look at taking it off. Theres a few how to's on removing the 'rats nets'

hope that helped

P.S. my cars webpage

 

Thats just a bad pic of mine. I think I'm going to shoot some black paint on anything I can so it looks cleaner. But in person it doesn't look that bad. Must be the camera.

I'm currently not driving the car, so I think I will do some painting.
