jetuomi · Jul 7, 2004

I'm thinking there's a few things I'd like to do to clean up this engine bay, and that's a new distributor (sitting down here), fixing up the rad support, maybe putting that plastic cover back on, and somehow making that power steering neck a nice colour and the brake fluid reserve.. any other thoughts, can anyone post some other engine bays, RC, how's your's lookin' nowadays?? need some ideas...

here's the pic.. thanks..

For bling either polish or get chrome parts of... Intake, valve covers, altinator, altinator bracket, distributer, waterpump, PS pump, AC compressor, PS bracket, hood prop, coil bracket, TB, elbow adapter.

Get a flex cool(?) radiator hose, paint the PS fill neck, some wazee pullies, hide all the wires you car, and a nice good cleaning. Thats about all I can think of right now.

yeah Rob(RC), Mike(Oink), and JR(94SC50) are the guys you wanna go to for the bling factor

Get some clips for those spegetti...I mean, plug wires. Bury that maf in the fendrer. Mine is definitley nothing to look at, but I think putting the maf in the fender makes it look a little better.

Need to do some Simple Green disgreaser first. Zip ties do wonders for spark plug wire placement. Put the plastic rad cover back on, it hides lots of wires and brackets. Sand down the steel coil bracket with like 600 grit and use a compound when done. The cold air kit looks awkward and the clamp screws are on top, move them so they can't be seen. All vacuum lines should be run so they can't be seen. Hide anything you that can be.

it looks like it's over next to the battery. anyways even though it is really nice- i think the sc adds a little extra kick to that bay

Quick5pnt0 · Jul 8, 2004

Geez i'd be afraid to drive that car.

94TURBO5 O · Jul 8, 2004

donjohn is correct. Thanks to 95snoozer I took it out and now run the line into my ww res.

67stang390 · Jul 8, 2004

94SC50, I absolutely love your engine bay, but move that battery! That bright red top totally throws off everything else. It should find its way to the trunk.

jetuomi · Jul 8, 2004

holy cow, okay, so it seems you can buy chrome for every single part out there.. that's an amazing engine bay !!

thanks guys for the advice, since I drive my car everyday I think this is going to be my winter project.. I'll definately be busy for most of it..

also, I cannot for the life of me find one of those plastic rad covers that is actually in good shape, have some of you painted them??

94SC50, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT is one of the BEST looking engine bays EVER!!! Has your car been featured in a mag yet?

What He said...

Sorry Jetoumi, I was away yesterday and didnt see this post. Like above, in the case of your engine, youre gonna want to clean EVERYTHING in there (except the STB) and move a few things.
Here is your pic:

1. unless you have removed a lot of stuff and have a chrome radiator cover, paint the original with black FUSION paint and put it back on with some new plastic screws. (see how mine is done)

2. After stuff is cleaned, get a Dremel with the Scotch-type scouring wheels and lightly brush off everything.

3. I used the wire ties to "organize" the spark plug wires.

4. Dont start buyng new chrome parts until everything is clean and youre sure you like the look....If you start, you cant stop...nothing looks worse than having only one or two shiny things in there, then not finishing.

5. Take off the 4 screws and remove the coil...that bracket along with the ps bracket with the 2 bolts there REALLY shines up nicely.

6. REFER all future bling questions to JR

jetuomi, what kind of radiator is that you have? How does it work and how much did it cost ya? I need another radiator and I can't afford another Fluidyne.

RC, did you paint your idler pulley or is that a billet one? Where can I get a billet one? I saw one on somebody's car on here and I've been wanting to get one but I have no idea where to get one. UPR doesn't have one for our car, the only one I saw on their site was for the 03-04 Cobras.

94TURBO5 O · Jul 8, 2004

RC you kill me dude your car is pimp'n!

Any advice you need though I'll hook you up.
The pulley is billet as well as all of my others. The only chrome is the STB, Alt, oil breather, bolt caps, rad cap, brake cap, valve covers and ps neck. Everything else I either painted or polished myself.

Here is a more recent pic of the dist painted and the wp pulley. Paint match parts to your paint looks pretty decent IMO.

mystang94gt · Jul 8, 2004

94SC50, YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME!!!! Right when I think your car couldn't look any sweeter you go and pist pics of the most detailed engine bay I have ever seen.....Mystic paint matched dist cap??? OMFG are you kidding me??? I have NEVER seen a sn95 look THAT good. Can I ask aprox how much you have invested in your car??? I'm not in too the whole bling thing very much but my god your making me change my mind. What mag's have you been featured in and how many trophy's do you have???

I thought those were just for the fox body stangs. They actually make one to fit in our cars or did you have to custom fit it?
