Lets get dirty! Show off your engines!
« on: 22 September 2008, 00:03 »
I dont know about other people but the engine is very important when it comes to the looks of a car... you just cant beat a shiney valver or a custom fitted FSI engine,  but just a well used dirty oily onld 1.4 engine still does it for me... anyway post up your bay pics im curious as to what every one has done ... or not done under the hood  :smiley:

What is that sticking up from your brake fluid cap?

Also what is the pipe going across the top of your battery?

Nice shiny inlet manifold.

Haha, the pipe is my wheel wrench thing. Left it in the bay by mistake

And that on the brake fluid lid shows the fluid level

It's interesting to see how many cone filters are out there, which apart from an awesome noise [fair comment] does bugger all for performance based on the engine breathing in hot air from the surrounding block etc cold feed or not.  :sad:
