    wash mine :-P

    I hit it with a rag to clean of some of the lighter dust but the engine itself could use a little cleaning.

    1) bag off pcm, battery, and fuses.
    2) Spray engine bay with water from hose on very very low pressure(pretty much rinsing it)
    3) run engine for 5 minutes or so with hood closed
    4) Open hood, spray engine degreaser over everything quickly, close the hood to allow the steam to get trapped within the engine bay.
    5) let it sit for 10-20minutes
    6) Spray engine again with hose to get rid of degreaser
    7) hit any dirty parts with rag.

    Actually thats what we were were doing. It was the first day we got, clean up, changed oil, cleaned K&N filter, and M.A.F., and just the basics. The second pic was pulling the 6 speed out.

    I agree. This is how I got into the field...and into cars in general. I had to vote for our mayor a few days ago and while I let my folks out of my car, a little boy said "IT'S A RACE CAR...A RACE CAR WITH ALOT OF NUMBERS!!" Let em imagine and let em loose with their dreams.

    Good to see! I remember wandering over to my neighbor's garage as a kid to watch him work on his '40 Chevy. I have been wrenching on stuff ever since and now my daughter is helping me.

    sadly, there's probably some stupid group or woman out there saying that he shouldn't be around them or working with you at that age. She'd rather have him watching Barney. them
