Pop your hood!

Similar to the M3/4 forum, figured I would start the thread for those of us into a little engine bay bling!

Here’s mine! Eventuri intake is next mod on the list!

This will be a good thread. I have zero to contribute at this point, but it's going to be the motivation I need to spend money I shouldn't.

When prices for these pieces come down to reality, I'll probably dress it up some.

Just installed some goodies. Waiting for my CF engine cover. Arrived at the end of August.

Gotta say - I STRONGLY recommend against getting the CF fan shroud cover. I am pretty sure the metal one it replaces is structural and is part of crash protection.

No way this mega-flimsy (but nicely made/finished) autotecknic CF shroud cover will offer any support or damage mitigation whatsoever. It is gonna break an crack easily.

The metal plate is very robust - thick & does not give or bend at all.

So while the piece is on there, I am gonna get the plate and braces powder coated blue, and out that plate right back where it belongs.

Photos to come when all is done.

Love this idea.

I was going for the HKS crate engine look. I just love the way those engines look.

Definitely nothing special on mine, but I did make some heat shields for my BMS intakes. They worked and actually lowered intake temps and keeps them consistent by blocking the engine bay heat and helping to hold the cooler air coming in through the OEM lower intake boxes.

Just put the turner intake in on Sunday. Thinking I want to do strut tower bars and maybe the dress up bolts.

So it’s not bad, I personally like a good bit of induction noise and this is kind of quiet for my tastes but I’ve only driven like 30 miles with it installed so far. I’m going on vacation this week and taking it so I’ll get a few longer drives now. I had the MST v2 on my Supra and that was AWESOME but i know I can’t expect the same level of volume since we’re splitting banks on the s58 vs the b58.

All dressed up & everywhere to go.

I'm no longer embarrassed to open my hood at cars & coffee.
