clean outside.

engine bay needs tidy-ed pretty hardcore tho. looks like a lot of time and money went into it.

effort/funds well spent IMO. good work man.

greeneyes has spoken. let discussion follow.

btw, any drivetrain work? diff/driveshaft?

Tires are a little skinny for my taste, would've filled them wheels wells up more if you'd run a little thicker.

Other than that the car looks great. I like that color choice as well. Clean car.

not usually a fan of red, but it's a damn clean car. but i agree with greeneyes, that engine bay could be a little "tidy-ed up"..

List of parts added above;

True that the engine bay needs work. No excuses, but had no garage & worked somewhere that was a pain... not a real pleasure. Will probably drop the engine next summer, put back my old manual transmission after rebuilding it and redo the engine bay.Will tidy everything up at the same time.

Wheels were a real steal brand new off ebay for $600 shipped.They were not the perfect size, but close enough so I could not pass them up.Wanted Koseis for looks and weight (15ibs each) & already have 5mm spacers on them. Might go bigger, but ...

Car is repainted stock red... just took quick pictures in bright morning sun before a 4 hr run to NYC from MA so slight color shift.

Thanks guys for the positive feedback

Real Clean, but why do you have a tube running out from your BOV, is that some ninja shiz? And motor would look cleaner if you got rid of that braided hose kit.

BOV is recirculated and you are right about the braided hose.I will eventually replace with Samcos.

Thought about the black roof and might still do it, but have a vented carbon fiber hood in mind... kind of want it to stay looking fairly stock

Yes the aero you have is the right amount for my taste; not obnoxious. +1 for that
