I was just thinking, with me rebuiding my engine and cleaning my engine bay one of the nastiest ones is out of the running. So I challenge you all, post pics of your engine bays and show us who has the most filthy disgusting engine bay. I will pick through my **** and come up with something suitable for a prize and will solely decide who gets whatever the prize winds up being. I will open this up to any 240,200, or 180SX and Silvias.A couple of points to consider;

Running engines will always score higher than nastier dead motors

Profuse oil and coolant leaks that have been dealt with in some ghetto fashion make a good impression

bizarre cobbled together multicolored intercooler piping is a plus

Catch tanks made out of beer cans, etc. stuff like that is endearing

Your car is a reflection of your personality, show us all the dark corners of your soul. I will run the contest until a truly disgusting pigpen of a car catches my fancy. Good luck all.

Give us a minimum of three shots, front and both sides. If you have any specicific items of ghettoliciousness of course some shots of that. This is for real, I am not just giving anything away if I am not impressed.

Tomorrow I will reveal the rotten dirty 4-colored 240's heart. (It may be light in Japan, but still dark in the states )Expect to see tons of duct tape, grime, road dust and DIY wiring. Boo-yah.

oh my damn good/bad stuff

dude all you gotta do by two cans of engine degresser a wire brush

run the car around the block for about 10 min to warm the bay up

blast everything but go very light on the alternator and dizzy, and avoid direct blast of water to electrical connections.
