i think the valve covers look great.

but the CAS and sparkplug cover, not really floating my boat (its all you, but honestly to make them look good with that color, you might want to prime them first with a red primer, then the candy will really stand out.or maybe a bunch more coats will do it

and that candy red you can use to red out your tails (i saw somone with a black 240sx coupe with it, and it looks awesome on dark color cars, so i did mine too, they look great) just a few coats and some wtsanding looks awesome

and whered you get/what kind of manifold is that?

BTW, float, look at my math thread, you can up your post-whore count easy

I'm prob gonna redo some the paint on the motor later, the turbo manifold the old shop who did the swap orignaly ordered for me, so I don't know who made the manifold. I'm a bodyman so i just recently started doin work under the hood, still having my friend who is a mechanic do most of it.

can't complain it's not to much $ to play with, everything looks well with it. The Turbo is made by XS Power. Either way its better then the blown t25
