Here's some pics.

 

And...pics of the entire bay. Forgive me, I took them before I washed it today. I havent finished cleaning yet so, maybe clean bay pics tommorow.

 

Well, the clamp and bolt are easy, just wire wheel the clamp, paint it satin black (the color of choice for all little widgets) and replace the bolt.

The hardline is more difficult and depends on whether or not you're willing to undo it...I'm guessing not.
The visible corrosion should be quickly removed with a scotchbrite pad but will return if not protected.
I'd first try wetting a rag with WD40 and wiping the hardline down, see how long that holds up.

 

I'll try that today. Definately don't want to mess with taking the hose off.

I washed the bay down yesterday, and will be detailing it today, so it'll be a perfect time.

 

jj- I find that brackets look nice in their natural colors, just look at that 10th AE bay, the brackets look so good in color instead of black. I think instead of using black use a fine silver

 

Agreed, that sounds like a good idea.

 

Detailed the engine bay today. Looks beautiful!

I forgot to bring my ******* scotch pads, so I didnt get the chance to clean off the oxidation on the power steering lines....pics of that tommorow.

For now, NA S5 Convertible engine bay pics

 

So it does, congratulations.

I still see some fasteners that could do with replacing but the biggest issue visually is the throttle body and all it's rusty linkage. That will be an interesting challenge should you decide to take it on.

 

Thanks Clokker.

I've seen some rx7 bays in my day, so if lightly rusted linkage is the biggest issue you can point out clokker, I'd say I am doing pretty good.

Probably won't mess with that unless I have to take the TB off again.

 

just paint the whole thing TB- it lasts years like that. You can take the time to tape things off I just went all one color. Guy who rebuilds carburetors for 40+ years told me not to take the TB apart to paint it and I took his advice. You can not take his advice and take it apart and hope you know how to put it back together again, lol

 

Hey, thanks!!

 

These pics make me wna finish my bay...

 

shes a lil dirty and too lazy to clean up the wiring. maybe this week pending how im feeling enjoy

 

^ love the white! looks better than I would have imagined it.

heres my setup.

 

i like simple and clean.

 

Here is my 90 convertible...

 

I don't know why but, the bare fan shroud without the intake piping tom cover the top bothers me.

Don't get me wrong, not talking trash about anyones engine bay, I am just saying...

 

I think it's even worse when the airbox has been removed (typically replaced with a cone filter) but the intake tube is still in place.
It's like the tube has a purpose, even though it really doesn't.

 

I agree, that is even worse.

 

You have the nicest engine bay I have ever seen haha damn dude

 

Stickers!!!!!!! Haha plus 10hp each!!! Really nice bay. Hard to keep white clean in a rotary? Lol

 

I'm officially doin this. Wiw that's a lot of vmount lol

 

It is, especially in the engine bay.

I don't know why or how the dirt sticks and collects, but it does. The worst spots are on the fire wall where that lip is, and also the rearward section of the shock towers.

You can't get it off unless you scrub the **** out of it.

 

it is a pain in the *** to keep clean but its not as bad as ppl think. the firewall section does suck. but all in all it came out ok i think

 

Update...
