Man ! I can't keep up with you east coast and early posters ! I'm a late night person myself.
Here's a few of the caps and oil/trans dip stick handles installed with the lettering now filled with black paint. Other details to note are the AC lines have been polished and throughout the engine compartment most of the screws were replaced with Stainless Steel cap head allen screws (individually polished of course) . The EDFC motor wires have been aligned to face the 6 o'clock position. This is accomplished by adding a jam nut underneath to tighten the motor in that position. You can also see the custom fabricated mounts for the battery posts (red & black caps) which I use to jump the battery since the actual battery posts are covered by a power distribution block. I know many of you have seen some of these details before, but I thought I'd comment on these items for the new members who haven't seen my old posts.
Hopefully this is enough to hold you guys over until tomorrow : )

Hey Adrian,
I've been a little out-of-it on the boards for some time now, but I wanted to say your car has impressively raised the bar beyond my expectations.
Seeing what you and other "veteran" members have been up to has motivated me to get back in the saddle. I believe I am getting my second wind and this post is hopefully just the beginning of a string of mods to come.
I guess these teasers are in fashion right now, along with all the people jumping on to the FI bandwagon.
Hmmm what else could I be up to ?

I got them for less when they had the group buy.
Parts are now about $50 a piece only from Carson. http://www.l-tunedparts.com/model/st..._id=9&cat_id=8
Plus I paid $130 for the engraving.

The engraving on the Rod Millen STB was also filled with black paint. You can see a couple more of the stainless steel hex screws, plus the polished intake manifold.

Thanks ! Yup I'm teasing with showing these details as the bigger mod has yet to be revealed.
Here's a view of the Power Steering cap and also the engraving I had done on the circuit breaker that runs to my "positive" battery jumper terminal located on the other side.
With the power distribution block mounted over the battery, you see there is no easy way to attach a jumper cables to it.
