hit "post rely" just like a normal post, then type something into the msg field, and then where it says "attach file" near the bottom of the screen, press the "browse" button. find the pic on yoru computer and hit ok, then press post.

make sure the pic is a JPG or GIF format... no BMPS

Re: Polished Engine Bay Picture Request

I'm very curious to know what that bracket/pulley Is to the passengers side of the Radiator. It looks like a bracket of the Nelson Supercharger.

j/k

but IMO...money...any money at all, that you spent on those plastic blue hose covers...would have served you much better being saved in a piggy bank for a header, catback or seomthing.

Yes the bracket is to a nelson S/C kit im installing now i had to take the intakes off to put 550 injectors in so i replaced them with the S4 polished intake(i had S5 intakes on the S4 motor).As for the blue wiring harness it looks much better in person the camera makes it look like a baby blue and it was in desperate need of loom beings the old loom was hard and brittle and cracking away,I already have RB exhaust from the header back and the K&n filter,now im going supercharged with 146,000 miles on the motor which i dont think will last long(HELLO pinapple racing)..

Here is a pic of some polished stuff on my old TII.

More pics of the same car:

Notice we relocated all the wiring crap that sits near the air filter. It really made a difference in the engine compartment IMHO. NO BAC valve, etc. The car now has PS back on it and the idle is fine. I think you really only need the BAC if you run AC.

You SHOULD leave it hooked up, and instead should be ditching the sub-zero fluid assist container and your secondary throttle plates.

And what the **** is up with your upper rad hose?

I'll post mine tomorrow. You have a clean front cover plate. throw some mother metal polish and a fine steel wool pad and you'd be amazed at what comes out.
