The OFFICIAL 24v Engine Bay Thread

So close. I need a fan, fluids, and some exhaust work.

Yup, you need to trim just a smidge of the cover for it to fit right.

Question about using the M3 firewall harness covers with the 24V. Do you need to trim the area of the cover where it sits right behind the intake manifold, next to the brake booster? It looks like the end of the manifold is in the way. Not a big deal if you do, I just want to mock it up on a spare junk one I have.

Enjoy that coil cover and intake manifold the way it looks in that pic, because it's never going to look that clean again. Terrible masking job, too.

meh its still this clean... yea the masking job did suck but it will get Re-done when i go back to NC correctly.
but with it being clear coated it makes it easier to clean as well ;)

Dirty shiny or did you gloss paint it? What I meant was it would look better without the shine :D

regardless, it's pretty damn sexy!

I painted it with semi-gloss, and the textured finish kind of dulls it down a bit, too. It only shines when there's direct light on it, it looks really good.

Shiny intake manifold away from being perfect. Clean shave on the engine bay man!

WOuld you recommend the Kamotors system? Where did you run the snorkel to?

I finally got time to do the e30 m3 wire harness cover. Much much nicer than the e36!
