Going to get an aluminum expansion tank too.

Any other ideas? Thought I would get the painted stuff done and go from there.


Looks great Dex!

As a suggestion for your question, maybe get some strut tower covers, the painted ones, and new billiet caps for everything (power steering, radiator etc)

Haha I may be taking the Zex kit out. Thought I may use it but I really dont think I'll need it. I cleaned it up today and it looks a lot better. Used some loom for the injector wires.

Put a new battery in today too. The factory one died its last time on me and Im tired of trying to save it. Im going to see if I can get the top of that painted too.

i'm more interested in that turbo you got there. LOL

U need to add the radiator extension covers and the strut mount covers to help the effect and make it look clean.

I have a GT500 front end so the radiator extensions wont fit

I have a feeling it would look like shit. haha

Who makes them? I'll ask them to make me some because I agree, it needs the extensions to look really good

I really need to clean the rest of the engine bay. Get darker blue couplers, and get rid of or paint the purple ZEX shit. Also going to paint the hot side of the turbo. Im thinking blue like my valve covers...which I also need to touch up. Powdercoat :clap:

One word to the wise tho. I had mine on all the time for a couple weeks and the engine heat caused the paint to seperate from the plastic of the pices. I had them all redone and now only put them on for shows or get togathers as long as im not driving it alot....
