if he doesn't i will send you mine. It's missing one clip, but the other keeps it in place just fine. It's also glossy black =)

Looking good.

I would love to move the wires near the PCM. How difficult was that?

really easy, just unplug and drill and then reroute and re plug, no extending or anything, only relocation is of the grounds that bolt the the fender, but thats easy

Thanks! I remember seeing that write up. The wheel removal part is the only thing stopping me, mainly because of time, but it's something I plan on doing eventually.

Ok, got a lot of stuff done since the last update, put everything back on, but its not quite done yet as you can see, some things need to be touched up.

**346ci** · 03-22-2009, 06:32 PM

wowzers, looks great

**onetroubledguy** · 03-22-2009, 07:39 PM

Looking good! Amazing how much of a difference it makes to paint the airbox connects.

If you relocated the coils, why didn't you get smooth valve covers?

looking great! i love the painted support pieces!

wow, i just noticed that. We're do you relocate your coils to?

**Lucky 13** · 03-23-2009, 08:26 PM

look right above the valve cover on the last pic

I just had mine polished, I may go with smooth later down the road... really easy to take off now

**pumpkinman** · 03-23-2009, 09:02 PM

I kinda agree, what do you suggest? paint black? or get rid of it?

i say get rid of imo. and if you can get a beter pic a bit closer of the coil pacs i would like to see how you did that. thanks

**TRANS-DAD** · 03-24-2009, 05:44 AM

I wouldn't get rid of it!!! It's not suppose to look like the engine bay of a truck!

**third_shift|studios** · 03-24-2009, 06:07 AM

i say ditch the STB too. It's the brightest thing in the bay and covers up a lot b/c it's so wide.

**suede** · 03-24-2009, 09:39 AM

yea something about that STB it takes away from the other things you have done, idk i'd like to see what it looks like with out it, or with a simple single bar one....

**Lucky 13** · 03-24-2009, 08:18 PM

Its this kit from thunder racing (sponsor): http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...d=185&pcid=273

here are some better pics:

still need to place the wires neater but you get the idea

and here is a pic i didnt put up, EVAP Solenoid relocation: look by the red battery hookup (this will all be covered by TSS's engine kit)
