Cam27 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Here is mine, although it doesn't look up to much below Jake's and Robby's! Edited September 19, 2017 by Cam27 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X13mgr Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Best one I've got off mine. If your interested I've got a whole set of standard turbo pipes and inlet manifold sitting in the garage. Perfect to get polished up or powder coated etc for a straight swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_harmer32 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Not as clean as any of the above but this was my old one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 is this what you are looking for? I only put this up as you can see the outcome of some perhaps dubious quality coatings and not keeping up with cleaning/general deterioration. Note this was a couple of years back and I'm 'slowly' getting things back towards stockish, but I'm still not lifting my bonnet in public!!

rider Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I always appreciated one thing with a Supra, its so reliable and uses no oil between servicing and doesn't go out in the rain any longer so the washer fluid is hardly used meaning that the bonnet needs lifting once a year. Now with the 65 Mustang, I do need to check the oil and coolant levels regularly and its all chrome rockers, pulleys and filters. The surgically clean engine bay thing leaves me wondering.

Scooter Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 hat's off to the ocd'ers I say, I just haven't got the time so have to concentrate on servicing, the underside and accumulating spare bits so that one day hopefully I can dedicate a whole chunk of time to tidying things up.

moonstone Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Some good looking engine bays guys! Anyone got everything powdercoated gloss black? I'm thinking gloss black intake, valve covers, turbo pipes etc. And the coil pack cover, fan shroud and fuse box painted moonstone just like the car. A close second is to polish everything! Looks awesome! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonstone Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Can you reuse all the gaskets on the intake and turbo side? If not, which did you replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X13mgr Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Ye I'd always replace with new mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I've heard you can as they are metal but when I took mine apart I replaced with new OEM all round, turbos, inlet, throttle body etc. Plus all new crush washers and gaskets for oil and fuel lines.
