Pics of engine bay

I always like to see others engine bays. Some times i get ideas from it.

Well i got my car working the way i want it so i'd figure i'd post my engine.

Can someone host the images for me?

Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

Damn you noticed the FRAM but ignored my smashed main fuse? Jeez, people and their oil filters! Hehehe, don't worry, it's been replaced with a OEM. Didn't even put 4 hours worth of running on that fram

well I was gonna give you crap about the fuse, but I thought you already felt bad about using a pliers to remove a fuse that is screwed in.

Ouch, beat on rat day! And i didn't use pliers to remove it, I used pliers to jumper it until I hauled my *** down to the parts store to pick up another. And the CAS cap was removed because I had just restabbed the CAS, and you'll notice I'm missing an intake duct as well, and my intercooler hose isn't past the ring edge, so it can blow off under boost (cuz I was adjusting the TPS) Anything else ya damn vultures!

rat you're about to get your *** kicked! (this is an observation of something that MIGHT happen, not saying it will or I am doing it, so don't ya go warning me for threatening someone!) My fan's sitting in my trunk, along with the inlet duct (in the pic, at the time). The FMIC is no longer sitting up there, it's hiding up behind my bumper, and the fuse has been replaced, the inlet duct has been installed, and the cas cover replaced. Now, who's next on my shoot from 300 yards list?

So far I've only managed 1/4 of this mod. I plan to mysteriously lose the other three bolts soon...

Not the greatest pic, but it's floating around on the web from SS5. My engine bay is currently be overhauled with a bigger turbo and a few other goodies

Note the special fan shround mod to accomodate my radiator. That was a quicky mod, the e-fan will be in soon with the other goodies.
