Default Pic of my cleaned up engine.

Hey guys. Been working a bit each night for awhile to clean up my 3.2. took a few things in to the powder coater and this is the result. I'm happy with it.

I'm a rat for clean engines, and that's a nice one. Great stuff!
The 3.2 looks terrific when its detailed. I want mine back!

It looks really good. You are setting a base line I won't hit with mine.

Thanx for the comments. Next is to delete the AC and back date the heat. Oh yea and going against the Dorki grain I'll be purchasing the Fabspeed open air intake. I think It'll look good, call me a poser.

Fab Speed Open Air Intake? Does it use the factory filter element?

Yep!
Its basically the rim of a stock airbox, with the attach catches, in CF.
Its easy to cut down a spare stock airbox to achieve the same thing, without the bling.

What he said - save yourself the $175. If you really want to spend the $175 go to Home Depot and get a table saw. Take the lid and make one pass on the table saw - you still have a nice table saw in the end.

Yes, but in your case you should get the “carbon fiber” version! It’s a little more expensive but what the ha!



PS - You still haven’t updated your web site (slacker)!



PPS - Did you see my big brake upgrade? Sweeeet!
