Well, I'm sure there are other threads titled "post pics of your car", but the title for this thread clearly states "engine bay pics".

After reading this for a 1/2 hour straight, I figure I might as well add mine to this ...

I think for it to be effective, the filter would have to be sealed off from the rest of the engine bay... good idea though.

hope you don't push your car too hard, because your IC is doing close to nothing

I've seen Carlos' engine bay and it is the nicest looking bay I've ever seen. You could eat off of the sucker. Everything is also tied down and done extremely nicely, almost like he's a helicopter pilot and he tried to recreate the experience with his RX7. Oh yeah, he is a pilot! Seriuosly though, it's one nice engine bay.

As for his taste in ricer carbon fiber wings, though, that's another matter

Thanks David, for the comps. Needless to say, I very much await your upcoming contribution to this particular bit of self-indulgence! ;-)

As for the wing, I may be a "Flying Squid" in my mechanical fastidiousness, but I WILL not deny my Cuban propensity for Bling either (read CF wing). Oh yeah, and ask Dean about my ricer wing at 150.

Hey Crispy, it wasn't till I saw your earlier post that I decided to take the plunge. You always seem to bring out the "bad boy" in me! ;-)
