AndyK, Those D90's are your old set (So nice and unique)
Pete, The Fuellines are Rennbay and the pictures were "resized" as the high res originals are 2272x1704 and 1.6meg each! (I run 1600x1200) so 1280x1024 looks small to me.
Dan, As far as cleaning for the fest, I had just got done with the lawn and had about 2 hours to clean my car between friday night and saturday morning.
Enginebay Cleaning.
1. Clean with Gunk engine cleaner and don't be afraid to use a spounge and a brush to get of the really dirty stuff.
2. Wash off dirty stuff in 2-3 min of sitting(after you scrub) with water
3. Take cleaner like (orange clean, Simple green) to the hoses and heatshield.
4. Clean off with water
5. Use MetalPolish (EagleOne polishing wads are the best hands down!) on the head/intake/headlight bar/whatever you want to spend time on
6. Make sure to clean them all off very good (like takeing off wax)
7. Use Gunk or CD engine detailer on the engine
8. use a rag to wipe off/rub in the detailer (Also helps to stop runs of buildup)
9. Clean engine!
The wax is Cheap Walmart Zymol (The best I have yet to find)
I also drive this car almost everyday (123,000) or something like that. Hopefully soon the enginebay will be even better to look at however it seems we are all on a budget.

Pete, I don't have to sidescroll with it at 1280x1024 because of my resolution (I guess I should be more thoughtful of others but the pics looked bad at anything less IMHO) Ohh, and there is nothing in the cubby.
I use the normal engine cleaner but useing this product extensivly. I can tell you it has done no harm to any of my hoses or even paint (in engine bay). I guess it could be because I don't let it sit very long on things. I always look closely at my hoses/wires to look for wear or effects from chemcials but so far nothing has shown when useing this product.

Fishey, you are insane!! The new black and red valve cover looks great!! You even bought a new overflow tank, even though they turn yellow in a week!?
Sweet!
