This weekend TJ and I did a little more cleaning to the engine bay of my RS. Finally got that chrome upper radiator hose I've been wanting for a while now but couldn't wait for Ian to get back from lunch so didn't get my Crewbie discount on it!  That plus tried out some high temp aluminum paint on the upper intake. We will probably paint the rest of the intake before summer.

Thanks for the compliments guys. 
Yeah, I removed the canister and used a 4" hole saw to cut a hole where it resided and the filter mounts underneath.
I'd love to make the Cows gathering but that weekend is already gonna be very busy. What really sucks is I have the next week off!  |

| Yeah, that length was just about perfect to clear everything. After taking those pics I rotated the MAF so it wasn't contacting the hose. Only snag was couldn't use the chrome cover piece on the water neck end because it was just too tight. As it was we had to grind down the alt bracket to make the connector fit! |

Just you wait Jake.....as soon as we get that 2 miles worth of CFI wiring out of there, your engine bay will look cleaner than mine.

I don't think a bunch of drunks un-wiring Jake's car is a great idea.  |

What tools? Electrical tape, zip ties and a pair of dikes?

You know, I actually thought about it going this direction when I wrote that, the sailor in me Almost wrote "side cutters" instead, but it didn't sound quite right
