My Custom painted Engine Covers++++...!!!

Hey Guys after lot of mods my mechanic paint my engine covers....

The covers match the car's colour and they look awesome...

Here some pics...


I know the most of u will ask:WTF Revi+Turbo...XEXEXE...Its just the box for some time..I don't want to get air from the inside and the airinix is the worst instake i have seen...
And the second question will be:Where is the battery...Steeda Battery Relocation Kit to the Trunk...Some mustang owners helped me out...Thanks

looks good, do you notice any change in performance/feel with the turbo and revi? does it flow enough air?

Engine bay looks great!

I'm coming to Greece next month for wedding. I'm flying into Athens 9/8/05 and the wedding is that Sat. 9/10/05. Then heading to islands for 4 days. Are you near Athens? It would be great to meet you and see your car if it's possible.

Hey maybe some guys can arrange a meeting for you in Athens..There are lots of 8s there...I am 500km away from Athens..See here and post in the greek Rx8 club and maybe some guys will arrange a meeting arround 10-15 8s just for fan... http://www.rx8club.gr/viewtopic.php?t=672

My friend it was very difficult to notice any difference cause all the mechanical jobs we have mayde,were made at once so i couldn't realize which helped most and which less...

What do you mean man with bizzy???Everything is in place and not a single wire is hanging...Everything is tight in there...Great job from my brother mechanic and all my friends who helped us out...But if you mean busy,you are out of place bro....Maybe you should see my father's car which in the motor has some wires and a battery you can get under the hood easily!!!!

Very soon i will dynotune it and post some before(now how i am running i mean)and then with the canzoomer midp-4 cat back on and all the tuning to see differences...We hope to hit arround 290whp....But i love when a word ending in whp has a 3 first in the numbers... :D

trust me, im far from being out of place...what i was reffering to is that the painting of the engine covers made your bay look really cluttered. Me personally, painting engine bay covers cheapens the look of the bay...back here in so cali it was cool to paint engine pieces back in 1995 but would be considered toy these days.

don't get me wrong, i think they came out good, if anyone were to paint those pieces it should look like that but like you said personal taste.

nice work. i'm still kind of torn on what i think of it, but as long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters. it definately shows that you took your time on it and made it nice and clean.
