hello all, only recently started prowling the forums here, thought I'd share the one and only pic/proof I have of my engine bay as it stands. I bought this car about a year ago from a friend, I've done my best but in order to give it the TLC it deserves I've taken it off road till I carry out maintenance and improve on the original

it's work in progress, soon it shall be anything but pink under there!
Wish me luck!

Oh. Dear.



Good luck

 

Was he a member on SIOC??

Thats terrible mate, I can see why you want to change it all back to standard, your best bet is to ask the breakers on here for a price on replacing all those pink bits.

 

fairly cheap fix, bar the manifold

 

Looks well, keep it.

I think Fat Thomas has something similar on his wrx with ebay special spoiler

 

could be worse, clean off the yellow caps and the plastic covers would tone it down a lot
intercooler is the worst bit, swap for another or remove (easy job) and a couple of hours with a scotch pad would sort it

the mani and strut brace would't look too bad imo

 

Thanks for the feedback, the previous owner is on here I believe. Infinity is his usual online handle (it was his wife's motor)

I don't know where I'm going with the bug just now, will see where my budget takes me!

 

LOL - priceless...

... In so many ways

 

Good priceless or bad priceless!?

 

My eyes my eyes!!

 

I'd remove it all and list on ebay, bet you will get £500 for all that pink stuff

 

Everyone loves a bit of pink, if you catch my drift!

 

todays progress...

 

stripped the front end, got rid of the scratched bumper and wings

 

cheeky wee trial fit of the reverse scoop!

 

lol

Pinky vs pinky.

 

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy would anyone do that????????!

 

It was a lady owner before me, so it she had shat pink everywhere!

Ye olde Scoobe is in good hands now though!
Well, as good as my budget allows. Currently saving for a house, so the Boss/Mrs keeps my spending in check!

 

Thank god it's back in sensible hands that's all I can say

 

Sensible maybe isn't the greatest choice of words there, I shall try and keep it tasteful though! ha!

 

Got the inner arches waxed up!

 

And the fmic fitted! Woo!

 

looks like the pink theme continues under the car too! good work so far though

 

I've not decided what colour will replace the pink yet, I am considering a kawasaki green!

 

Green well recomended

 

Dum da dum da dum da dum da dum da da da der da da da da.

 

Am I correct , maybe just the camera angle but your FMIC pipe work looks like you ain't goin to get your arch liner on ?
Like I said maybe just the camera angle

 

Arch liners will probably need modified/removed anyway, I'm hoping to get the ABW WRC arches on

 

I have the Kawasaki green under my bonnet too

 

Oh dear !
