I don't envy you the job of keeping all the shiny stuff looking good but it sure is purdy.

Havoc- Everything about your bay is awesome. It's insane the amount of work that can go into it! Amazing job. Oh and how tight do you run your gilmer? Then can spin bearings if overtightened. Ask me how I know..

Thanks mate.

The Gilmer is quite lose actually (well not tight), I get no gilmer noise at all. All I want it to do is not slip at high RPM (and Ive never had a issue with it).

If you have a Vmount now does this mean that you will sell me your ARC top mount?

Sorry I sold that about a year about a year ago. That pic is from 2 years ago when I first swapped my motor.

Haha I don't blame you for trying that thing was a sweet piece. Best aftermarket part I found on any of the jdm 13bts at the warehouse I bought it from.

Thought I would share these last few setups I did on my car. I like to change it up every year.

Same car just upgrade stuff or change the whole setup. The green engine bay was the most recent. This winter I am going back to a nitrous setup with a stroker motor. I will also be shaving the bay and not sure on color yet. Might be going back to black and eliminate the stainless on the firewall. I enjoy having something different and fresh under the hood.

I enjoy driving my car 10k miles a year. I would prefer to not have to worry about getting stranded when I'm on a 500 mile round trip. I don't dislike the rotory because I think its a cool engine but I do dislike its dependability.
