102477, New Pics of engine and new digicam
Posted by 98VengeI4, Jan-01-07 10:52 AM
Here are some updated pics of my engine. For those of you that remember reading I had to take it out because I spun the number 1 rod bearing and it needed a crankshaft.

Here is the after pictures with my new digicam and the engine back in place.

Looks good. I'm curious to see how well the paint will hold up on the plastic rad fans. Did you prime them first?

Yes I did. I was looking for a set of those Flex a lite fans but they only make them for the Turbo models, so I just painted them. I am anxious to see that as well.

Very Nice bay I like the blue ECU try, I used to have a cool Pix series camera, that was like a year ago and I had weird shutter issues, hopes yours stays nice!

Nicely done. While you're all at it, you could do a write up or two for the wiki. Maybe on how you prepped/painted the fan shrouds. That looks really nice. :thumbsup

Kudos for the 14" swirlies. Put the money under the hood first, imo. ;)

Thanks! I used DupliColor Metal Effects Blue Metallic Paint. Me too because this is such a nice camera.

Thanks man! I know how you feel about putting the money under the hood first! I will have to see if I can write something up.

I have FAL fans on my GS you just have to take the turbo one and modify the shroud for the upper radiator hose spout location.
