[Mk2] [NA] Engine mods for a DIY newbie

[petexa]

Hi guys,

Im working in stages on cleaning up my car, im now at the engine. I fitted a Jap Spec Performance Induction Kit today and all that shineyness has made my engine bay look very boring.


So i am after some cheap and easy mods that will make my engine bay look more desirable. Im not that mechanicly minded and not after too much performance upgrades.

Hope you guys can help
Pete

A general tidy and clean will work wonders

Get some silicone spray on the hoses/pipes/wiring/HT leads.
give the exhaust heatshield a scrub with a brillo pad (it'll come up great!)
spray the intake manifold with some high temp silver spray paint
clean around the engine lid
maybe add a strut brace to finish it off

What's that?
NOS?

Cheers for the advice Dale, would a cross bar like yours fit a N/A??
also was it your car featured on the BBC news a few months ago??

Yes pete it was, the cross braces are fit all generations of mk2's, put a wanted post up and someone should have one going cheap

Ren0W, yes its a Wizards of NOS kit

At least i know what i will be doing on my week off in July, giving the engine bay a good clean up

Hopefully get a coss brace by then.
