The option b tank is placed that way because I lost the hardware to mount it correctly.

Yeah the open nipple on your valve cover and intake giving you a vacuum leak.

I know, i know... filthy bay. None of the paint matches. Opt b tank is hanging wierd. Neither resioviour is filled all the way. No clamp on intake side of elbow fitting. Exposed ECM wiring. Zipties on grille. No fuel rail or spark plug cover. Lets just say I havent been by my car in forever but when i get it back things are gonna change...

Look gross? They are like the day I bought them.

It's prob the tint from the photo due to cell phone that you think they are dirty. Nothing on my car is dirty or needs replacing.

Sorry, not painting resevoirs, that's ghey.

There is nothing you can do about some yellowing to the plastic from engine heat. My car is for function not fancy pancy show. Of course yours are white... the car doesnt run

Painting parts like an option b tank and coolant recovery tank is silly, sorry.

That's already the plan. Im leaving the fusebox where it is, but everything else will be tucked/reloomed. Already pulled all of the unneeded plugs and wires from the harness. It will be very clean when put back together. I live on a dirt road so when I pulled everything, all the underlying dirt was exposed.

Rice, you of all people should know that haha. I went back to my build thread, but apparently none of my pictures are still there

Wasn't sure if I was going to like it so I used plasti dip.

And idk why it's silly. Looks better. It blends in instead of having two bright ass tanks under there with colored coolant.
