Suprakeith Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Well as my supra isnt moving at moment untill fix noise at rear end, thought would paint few more bits in engine bay today, Here is pic before And few after today have fitted new fan cowling, and painted the washer bottle lid, power steering and other brake lid. What people think? Next want to find stainless battery cover and paint the battery bracket blue aswell, but so far havent been able to find stainless battery cover anywhere Also want a blue hks filter if they do them? I know in first picture my battery is blue but that battery was toast after starter motor caught fire couple months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The blue look good but be careful not to go overboard with it otherwise it will be to much IMO I would concentrate on getting all your hoses and plastics a deep black and polish your alloy parts then your on to a winner bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I would paint the mesh over your filter as well, will smarten it up ten fold Good work so far though! Wire wool or a scotch pad should bring your inlet manifold up a bit fresher as well, although it looks pretty clean in the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 I inteed do paint mesh over the filter, just want to find different colour sponge for it aswell. And once car is sorted will get alloy rad and do hoses. Got a spare inlet with y piece that going to clean up and polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Looks better. I like blue in the engine bay myself... HKS don't do a blue filter element - they did one a while ago as a limited run special edition but no more. You can still find the "midnight purple" one around sometimes though (especially at shows, etc) which looks blue. Check out this pic of mine from when I was BPU running an HKS filter: I have a complete HKS SPF induction kit with the purple element for sale right now actually. And a painted battery bracket... Now get polishing your inlet manifold! Edited April 29, 2013 by DaveR (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
