I left the one by the firewall intact. I might remove it later.

It didnt do much to improve the look, not as much as lighter colored cars atleast.

Im hesitant to move/relocate my battery to free up some space for groceries.

Thanks man! Nothing too special. Just got tired of the stock engine bay and decided to brighten it up with some engine enamel. Deciding on painting my MS intake or just leaving it polished.

what happened to the panal between the bumper and rad pac? Also i'm not a huge fan of picture filters. Your engine bay looks good no need for a silly filter.

The radiator cooling plate? It was like that when I got the car actually, looks like the previous owner might've trimmed it to get airflow into the stock intake, because he ran a K&N filter on the stock airbox.
I repainted it but paint flaked off when someone backed into me and cracked my old bumper. I've been too lazy lately to get around to getting a new plate. Might go with an aluminum one GTspec offers.
And I'm not a big fan of the filter either. My friend's an amateur photog and did the editing on the pic.

How do you guys keep your engine bays so clean..? Mine seems to fill with dust and tiny pebbles?? How does that even get in there? I do not live in an area where dust and junk should be an issue.

I took the battery cover off and whala. Tons of tiny rocks and dirt.. haaalp.

Nice. I hope you have considered the thickness of the coating though and test fit things.

Lightbulb A for Q

Indeed and then some. Most OEM things are not going back in. The engine will be a stripped down built 13b-REW by Atkins Rotary, ProCharger Supercharger for boost with a custom efi carburetor Most of the electrical will be in the cab or in the trunk with the gas tank and battery

RX8 Renesis in MGB

This project is not yet finished, but sorting through and parsing out RX8 wiring harness to work with MG's. Still have fuse/relay b
ox and ECU to mount. Have a few sensors to "spoof" yet. So the work in progress.

9K,

For the sheer sexiness of your engine bay, I take my hat off to you sir.

Well done.

Just got the alternator polished, thanks to gregs! Still hunting for a couple more pieces to get that look I want. (Polished diversion panel, re-anodized my RB sensor adapters, etc.)
