Decided to rebuild the motor this summer (needed more POWAH ) and also decided to get rid of ALL the blue hoses and couplers. I felt it had run it's course so I went back to the tried and true Black hoses...ceramic coated LIM,UIM,Alternator and water pump housing. I also painted the strut bar ends in Black.

Thanks and I agree.....
No more BLUE for me.....it's just not my thing anymore.....I think the silver and black look is much nicer/classier....even my plates and housings have been matched..

Hope this works...

Mostly stock. Anything modified, I like to hide or have painted black, so it stays stock & clean. Yes I'm boring. No I dont like polished wooo parts.. Subtly improved factory performance appeals to me
Low mileage, kept in storage most of its life, so its pretty clean at least.

That maybe on the next phase....

I left them like that because all my AN fittings are Blue/Red so it was a consistant color scheme..
I wanted to change all my AN fittings to Black BUT the budget was OVER extended due to some unforseen items that needed attention....
What was suppose to be a 2 week project ended up to be 2 months and about $2K over budget..Once I recover and get my tuning done after breakin I may start that project...

Thanks again for the props guys...

I don't know why this was my username. I was 16 and probably on drugs way back when I first took it.

Gordon, that engine bay is looking amazing.

Throttle body diameter?

ABS deleted, or relocated?

Those coolant hardlines on the top of the engine block look amazing.

Does that help with the TUV ? Or do they know what's up and would fail you anyhow ? Or is that stock enough for you to pass ? I know in California that would not pass or barely so, with a stupid smog tech, since you did change the intake path by modding the elbow... Stupid Laws... Just Curious.
