It's the spring 2005's "post your engine bay" pics thread!
Let's see what you've done over the winter/early spring months in your engine bay. 
I haven't done much of anything aside from block the ACV off and re-route the aux. ports to run off the airpump, but I did give it a good detailing yesterday.
The plans for this year:
- Port and rebuild my spare core
- Replace current engine with core
- Swap in S5 intake system
- Remove rest of emissions, swap PD with banjo bolt
- New intake pipe and cold air box
- Remove airpump
- Remove all OMP system components
- Install Racing Beat header and pre-silencer
- Re-run main alternator lead and clean more grounds up
- Install new car-puter system

Sorry for cluttering the thread but I fit my enormous greddy core while keeping the bumper reinforcement and everything else. Just had to cut out the bumper grill.
A little outdated.
Plans before summer are large t04b hybrid with 1000cc secondaries. 300-350whp.
