Type R engine bay clean up started!
Its been bugging me for ages that my engine bay has been an eye sore.
After much money spent on a re-build at APi a while ago. After the re-build the engine bay was very clean, but It had alot of mapping sessions at this time of the year, when the roads were covered in salt which alot of the crap found its way under the bonnet. On top the usual daily grime, it was starting to get to me.
Also been motivated by a few of the other SWS lot, you know who you are
Now it was time to get it sorted and more easy on the eye
Before pic's
1st to give the engine clean to get rid of all the grime and grease, used Meguiars super de-greaser and P21S autowash and various brushes to get in all the tight spots
2nd to strip off brackets, intercooler pipes and anything else I could get power coated. Changed my mind with the Turbo heat shield as Did'nt think it would last long
Ordered a load of stainless steel fastners etc, small bits but make a big difference!!
Still got a few more things on my wish list to get and fit but I'm a good way there.
