I'm pulling the motor to have it rebuilt. While I have it it out is there anything you guys may have done to improve or dress up (mild, not show car) the engine bay? I am switching to non-seq and installing steel braided fuel lines, a Greddy FMIC and putting my Fluidyne in vert mount (I can do that, right?) Any other ideas? Thanks.

Replace EVERYTHING. Well, rubber **** that is.



You're on the right track with the fuel lines however you might want to think about it... Are you going to replace everything from the firewall up? Like where the rubber lines connect to the hard lines? Just asking because it gets expensive and kind of tuff to do. You should PM rxrotary2_7 for info. He can point you in the right direction..



Now is also a good time to scrub the engine bay. Degreaser works good. Don't let it sit too long. You could repaint the bay too... Ask VOSKO about that.



Polish stuff. Powdercoat stuff... Whatever is your desire. Best time to do it is while the car is down...

Yeah i was thinking anything rubber to silicone or steel braid (depending on size and application). Is there a place I can go to find misc. sizes of silicone hose an such? About the fuel lines, i know there was a thread about someone offering fuel set ups for $500 included lines and rails and some other goodies I think.....having trouble finding it though....
