Lets see your engine bay!
 
so im thinking about doing some paint work under the hood this weekend, but i dont know exactly what I want to do...

I have a black SS/SC and im thinking about painting the accents (injector cover, rail cover, things like that) gun metal, and doing everything else in polish or brushed aluminum...i just want to see some pictures to get an idea of what i want to do...

and any under hood painting tips you guys have would be great

I think TTR was running a sale when I bought it, like $160 or so. I think they are $180 normally.

I need to get a newer picture tho. it has since been stripped of the coating and polished/cleared. looks a LOT better

hmm...i just didnt wanna polish everything, i want a dark look to the car and i think a huge shiny jewl under the hood might throw it off

greekss 05-13-2008 12:20 PM

Check out the Vendor sale section we have them on sale right now :)

We can also do a mount in gun metal :)

UPDATE:

"Gun Metal" is now a standard color option for the TTR mounts :) (Updated the online site)

yup yup it is a catch can. the high-compression pistons cause the oil to push throuhg the damn breather into the intake.

well....i get paid on friday! :twothumbs


and i know this isnt exactly the tech section, but would i just put a jack under the motor while the stock mount is off? or will it be supported by the tranny mounts enough to not have to do that?
