                    Finally ready to share - even though I finished the intake, cleaned up the black plastic on the wiring, and paint matched the fuel rail since taking the photo.

                          this looks great! my m20 is getting pulled out today and my s50 is already out. is the wiring hard to make it work? i bought the akg adapter but i mean all the other wires that used to go into the m20 motor...

                                This is what I believe to be the final iteration of my engine bay. Nothing else really planned, save for maybe a strut brace down the road.
