Engine bay

Post by sirRhodes »

Hi all, I know this isn't necessarily very high on a list of priorities for me to do to my mk1 but has anybody found some good colour combinations for spraying most of the engine bay parts e.g. black/red black/blue etc
could someone post a few photos of what they have found to look the best?
Cheers :)

First off, nothing wrong with making the engine bay clean and tidy.
And pretty.
And shiny.
And colourful......

Oh my god, I'm off to do more engine bay detailing. Haha


Just google 'mr2 mk1 engine bay', click on 'images'. Plenty of food for thought there. :)

Oh ok cheers that does look nice clean but the paint looks like its coming off on the writing on my cam covers :(, I'm guessing that you've bought that jimi throttle bracket, does it change anything like throttle response or is it purely visual.

Quick Q then, does it affect the throttle response or return etc at all?
Does any changes need to be made to fit it e.g. drilling new holes.

It's not text speak - it's an emoticon:

I think the equivalent emoji is the laughing with tears one.
