Now who has the cleanest alternator huh??

Beautiful!

LOOKS GOOD!!! Now I think I may be the dirtiest Alt now

I look my engine at this pic's a little inclined, i'll check it cause they took off the cover and maybe they didn't settled right, or it is like that??, my supports are new.

HUGE differance! Good for you

I am going to clean mine this weekend now

Can I be in the running for dirtiest alt?

Very nice Alex!

come on, your engine bay looks very clean.
I love this model of engine cover, i've saw somewhere one like yours painted with these lines painted on silver...very nice.

Nice black plug wire

Has been replaced with a new one (got a bad wire in the new ones I got...and of course is was the pesky number 6 cyclinder too)

Alex: Engine bay looks gooooooood

I was holding my tongue on mentioning that... HAHA

Ok, lol...fine! I'll take a new picture with the new red wire in place, k?

Chunkee, it doesnt look dirty at all, Im going to take a pic of mine and show all of you what dirty is she just needs some TLC, but with all of these dust storms and thunderstorms every night I cant wash her

I was laughing because I missed it.

looks good under there. do mine?

lookin clean and sharp...I wanna get one of those powdercoated alts for my ride (I'd love to have some billet pulleys too but that aint gonna happen)...by I say let your plug wires yearning for freedom be loosed


I still wanna know what Redgie the Wedgie did to his engine cover...that sucker looks like it was chrome plated almost.

Lookin good Thunderbat, I like the paint on the cover!

I need to get in there and clean my engine bay it just been way too darn hot. We are supposed to be in the 100s all week long. I hate hot weather.

Hey Alex, how long did it take you to do that? I was thinking about doing mine on Saturday. What all did you use to do it?

It was very hard, I drove into a workshop, then i payed 6 usd and they wash the engine...

Heh, when I was a mechanic I used to charge 10 dollars to steam clean engine compartments..a good hot steam washer works wonders on a hot engine. just need to put a garbage bag around your air intake if its a aftermarket one so it doesn't get wet

They took off the air filter, and protect the TB, anyway i had to reinstall the complete tubing and cone cause they let it loose.

Anytime i take my car to clean the engine something ends breking or malfunctioning.

Yesterday I was racing a BMW M3 that i think has more HP's than my GT right? but he seemed to be afraid of racing too fast so the race was cool, but at the end a hose of the coolant that is right behind my alt. broke then i start leting a cloud of stream behind me, that is embarrasing when they pass you and see you...

This Texas summer too much for ya?

Welcome to my world, 7-9 months out of the year.

I think the M3's are 240hp, I'm not sure on the torque numbers.

BTW the sound of my new K&N is very nice!!

yeah, I am originally from Ohio. The highest it gets up there on average is around 90. Anything above that is too hot. Last May and June I was San Antonio in Basic Military Training. Man, that was hot. we had to walk around in our BDUs all day long and weren't allowed to roll up the sleeves or anything. By the end of the day, we were soaked with sweat. Then I spent the rest of the summer in Pensacola, FL. It was so humid there you could taste and feel it. I HATE THE SUMMER!

Ever try Phoenix or Yuma, AZ during the summer? Sure the humidity in other places will make you wanna die, but try messin with 115+ (ferenheit (sp)). IF there's a breeze, it feels like you put your face in front of a heat gun. That heat will KILL you. And I love every minute of it.

AMEN! Now we are getting our monsoon storms so add 115+ WITH humidity now... but i would NEVER live anywhere else, I love it here

Hey Buggy, the 100 degree plus days won't last, just remember only a couple more months and we'll be thru... while the guys in the Southwest are sweating over Christmas break!

I hate cold... im a desert rat!

LOL, aint that the truth! I think our weather (Southern NM) stays winter until late September/early October. Phoenix, if my memory serves me right, Phoenix never gets a winter. They only get down to a frigid 30-35 in the "winter months". But HA HA! we dont hafta worry about freezin to death! HA HA!

we get 30-35 as the over night lows, during the days in the winter months its in the 60's for day time temps... awsome weather!

Looks great Alex, especially to the before cleaning pics of your bay a while back. I'm pretty sure I'd win the dirtiest right now. I won't embaress myself by posting a pic.

We should have a vote on witch one of ours is dirtier!! LOL

frigid 35? HA! I like 35. I keep my house around 50 or 60. Sure my electric bill is through the roof, but I don't care. 35 is wrm for the winter. Try -15 and that isn't even including the wind chill. Try going out to find your car buried in 3 inches of ice.

I would second the pics, but I don't think mine will ever come clean it is so filthy.

In Korea, it's not uncommon to be doing field training in the winter at -20, or lower. with the Siberian wind. and the humidity. and the helicopters comin in on your field site requesting maintenance. Not comfy. Not comfy at all.

I'm seriously beginning to think that I should put a pick of my nasty butt enginge on here. Just to give yall a laugh.

Fer' real?
My aunt lives in Seoul and she told me they basically have the same climate as we do here.
-20* is more like Alaska/Canada climate.

It all depends on what part of korea you are in.

Korea is no joke, i've known many a soldier that went to korea, and not one of them wanted to go back. My roomate was there, and would be on guard staring at the N. Korean troops at the border, that's how far north he was. Cold as an MF'er in the winter.

Wow, Alex must have some great skill that allows him to start all of the longest topics!

And the shortest, I've post lots of posts where nobody answered...

I think I got you bored with my tranny!

alright y'all. here are some pics of my engine bay.

I like the duct tape
