I loved that car. What ever made you decide to part it out? (if you don't mind me asking)
The front subframe lives on in my garage queen.

Wow, I really want to do that now since I've got a standalone, maybe further down the road..Have you got a link to a detailed work log? I'm really interested in what you've done. For your ITB set up, was it a stock BP with ITBs and exhaust with the MS? Makes me want to do an ITB setup even though I'm sold on going boost.
He was posting about a fusebox relocation, seems pretty related to an engine bay thread if you ask me...

Very nice, i like the valve cover. You can get stuff power coated like that? It looks like ts made of marble or something.

It's powder coated under that! It's called "Hydro Dipping" and the pattern in there is called "Reaper" pattern

I've been looking at hydrodipping my Valve cover but I can't think of a design that I would prefer, theres some pretty cool ones like this one here.

oh man that carbon look is so sexy. I wish someone would do that on a MX3 VC. I wouldnt mind doing it to the intake manifold but it may look funky because of all the curves
