I need pics. of gutted engine bay.

Yes ive been looking for some. but havent found them yet.
Im about to clean up my messy enginecompartment and therefore i would like to see what you guys have done to obtain a nice looking enginebay.
Basicly I wanna take out anything that I dont need.
I allready removed the usual stuff such as powersteering, EGR, all emisions(I live in Denmark, so its legal) and replaced the fan with a junkyard one(626)

What else can I take out?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I just want it to look nice and clean, No overkill
Thanks in advance
Kim

You can try a battery relocation kit. I'm planning on doing one with the battery in the bin behind the passenger seat.

I don't pop my hood so I don't polish my stuff. I only pop it for fellow 7 owners.


Ripped apart naked!



Pieced together, no bling bling.

T66 came bling bling like that. I threw some dirt on it to make it match the rest when I installed it.

This is what im looking for, kindoff.
Does anyone know what I can rip out or relocate, the battery is not an option as i dont have the rear bins, all danish models were GXL´s or T2´s with rearseats and I would like to keep those, it looks better IMO

Yours is pretty bare already, not much left I can see that you can remove.

I was thinking about the air-valve that controls idle when you have the PS, AC and all the other stuff running. I dont remember what its called.

the BAC can be removed but you will have to slightly adjust the idle and have no a/c

you can relocate the battery...you'd just either have to get a gel-cell battery (optima) or have a sealed, vented battery box.
