If i could only have the engine, i'd do my whole car in freakin silicone hose! No one would care if i was beatin their *** on the street now would they?!

I think it would look alright with the hoses, blue, red, brown, or clear!

I would have to agree that some of those vacuum hoses have to go, but the IC pipe couplers and radiator hoses I like.

LOL, they sure look mighty "riced out" to me with the big fat single turbos and the AB Flug carbon fiber cold air intake! Seriously, I really really doubt that a little coloring under the engine bay like in the pics that Gamma posted would be considered rice.....especially since the silicone hoses are in fact useful in keeping the pressure constant throughout the car....

....as I was saying, let's ignore NT2SHBBY, that man (or boy) has some serious issues he needs to deal with.

Jon,

I'd also ask you to stop the commentary please. Let's let it die.

Looks like a Trust kit with custom piping, upgraded polished radiator, samco radiator pipes, grounding kit and a couple of other things.....my guess is around 600hp to the wheels.

I was just reseting my ecu so I wiped down motor w/damp micro towel. Here she is. Stock but I'm not complaining. Sharp eyes will see the cover off fuse box

It looks good already Jon.

Maybe just tidy up of the wiring where possible and a little polishing here and there.

No need to draw attention to the silicone hoses.

The motor itself makes enough of a statement.

Pretty much like this Japan Spec Supra motor does in this US version IS.




nuff said.
