Lets see some pics of clean EJ22's. I dont just mean physically clean, but organized, neat.

I need to be inspired.

Wish my engine compartments were that clean. Hell, I wish my car's interiors were that clean! :)

I'm in the process of simplifying and cleaning my engine compartment.

Removed the cruise control throttle cable because I don't have the switches on my JDM steering wheel.

Removed the plastic cover earlier, b/c it was cracking.

Bit by bit cleaning my intake manifold.

BTW, does anyone know the part # for the throttle body -> intake manifold gasket and the intake manifold -> cylinder head gasket?

Thanks guys.


Jason, I tried to put the supertones in the grill....there's just no room. I'm going to have to move them when I put the intercooler in, but I'm not sure where....

hm, maybe they would fit inboard of the turn signals behind the lower grille? although that would be putting them pretty close to harms way. I guess TX gets pretty good weather usually so I dunno.

also, you have the same strut brace as me josh, is that an ebay special for $2? :-D I have TIG'd on some gussets all the way around out of 1/8X1 cold rolled because I wasnt happy with how flimsy the 1/8 plate was. the bar was a good buy nonetheless.

man, you guys have some clean bays. I never bother to clean mine because I just go get it dirty the next day.

It's really quite tight in the front grill area. I had a hard enough time putting the AWIC radiators in. It's a shame I'll have to move them. I really like them there.

I'll figure something out.
