Engine Bay photo?

Here it is before I de-siliconed it. Only difference is now it has a Rotary13B1 rotor oil cap.

[ZGN]

you should retake the photo. That Rotary13B1 rotor oil cap could be the determining factor for the win!

[djmtsu]

I guess I can add the work done up until now:
-New OEM coils
-New OEM plugs
-Racing Beat plug wires
-Trico Teflon wiper blades
-Metra Axxess iPod integration kit
-New Beck/Arnley oil, cabin, air filters
-Kuhmo SPT's
-Black lug nuts (behold my black nuts)
-polished headlights back to new
-new tail light
-new steering wheel
-new shift knob
-new clutch pedal assembly
-opened up the oil cooler vents
-new Optima Red Top
-Castrol GTX 20w50 oil

Just trying to keep her alive.
