So nice, wish it was a liftback though Thanks...but I like the coupe better for some reason. I just can't wait to get some power under the hood, a lower stance and some rims...those are what I plan on doing next. If I somehow won the lottery or something I'd get a 3sgte swap, but that's not likely. And i totally botched smoking the rear tail lights(I did them outside in the cold) so I need to get new taillight housings and do it the correct way. The front lights did well except if you pay really close attention you can notice a little bit of drippage(not in the pic though)..I took those off and layed them on newspaper but still in the cold, but in a shed...but it's nothing bad. I just couldn't get the rear taillights off cause the bolts were on so fricken tight. I'm gunna try with sockets if i can find deep ones that fit. I had this interesting idea, since the car itself looks kinda aggressive I thought of a vinyl over the windshield "Aggro" centered, lol! My bro thinks it's dumb but I thought...Hey I'm a computer geek, and the car looks aggro, why not. I probably wouldn't do it though. |

Good man, coupe are always better.  Be careful getting those rear tails out. Once those bolts are off, then you still have to CAREFULLY pry them off of the adhesive. Their very easy to crack. |

Wish mine was that clean, but I'm workin on it Lol, yea...you're right, it's a 3sfe not a 3sge. I cleaned up the bay a little bit too, the battery got replaced(one in pic is the new one) cause the old one was the wrong size when i got the car  and the battery terminals were garbage so i re-did those. That and the the airbox were probably the messiest things in the bay. Before I dressed up the eng bay a bit there was a bit of mess with the cable wrap that was on it previously. There was black ribbed sleeves that had like 10 layers of tape and rubber shrink sleeves in stupid random spots that were't even shrunken with a hair dryer/heat gun so I cut those out...not to mention rubber wire heat-resistant sleeves in spots that don't get hot at all. |

wow i love the red cable sleeve thingos.... how exactly do you do that and does it cost much? i sound n00b but it don't matter... looks good buddy! I picked up these little red ribbed plastic sleeves at GI Joes...they come in different lengths...the thin ones in like 8' sections while the thicker ones come in shorter sections. 3.50 a pop...you can pick them up around where the engine dress-up stuff is...usually crome timing belt covers and carb garbage. You can also get them at almost any auto shop(napa, shucks, etc)...they're made of a semi-hard plastic and they have a slit along them so you can just fit them over the wire and cut to length with scissors....just be careful not to cut electrical wiring or anything when you're doing it, as cutting to length is easier when you put the sleeves on and I measured a little by eye. BTW the ribbed plastic covers that are probably on your cables that are over the alternater are basically the same thing, just black instead of red...and you can get them in blue and possibly other colors. |
