41k on my car and it gets more abused by rain than any member on this board
I have an open hood vent, thats right it reguires like a 3 hour detail to get as clean as it is in those pics. whoop di do I have a stock manifold so what?? It aint dirty to bad they are just that color. I would never want my motor to look like that. It is a cluttered mess. Clean parts but my god got a good plumber? the IC piping and intake alone could rap around the whole car

I wouldn't eat an egg cooked on that exhaust manifold.
Your ride is almost new. It is easy to show an almost new cars engine and call it clean.

On A side note I have to re give sebba some props on how clean his engine really is because I must say that is the second cleanest I have seen on the site for car engine bays... the first cleanest we all know whos that is

I would bet. My intake, head and exhaust are all gasket matched as well.

This to me is beauty..
This has obviously been wiped down before or after a race. Shep's engine bay shows what's important to "all go" mindsets.
(for you Emonz) Buschur's Evo 8 is another motor of beauty
Now you see what I like and a lot of what performance oriented guys like on their cars. Sure they could put on a mirror finished SMIM or IC piping, but it'll just haze from the heat. That's why my IC piping is black and why my engine bay is "blah". My motor is revved and revved hard and anything shiny will no longer shine after a good month..that's a waste of extra $100 for a shiny piece of metal, IMO.
Body kits..
Body kits slow you down on a track. Engineers put a lot of effort and science into the stock fascia. Body kits are only made to make a car look "good" (that's relative). The makers of those kits didn't put any money in a wind tunnel before the kits were sold. Do you see my mindset now? Plus those folks that wrench on their own cars (like me), I refuse to be afraid to put my dirty, oily hand on anything in that bay. My hood is always closed when I'm driving, I don't go to shows, so what's the use of bling in my the motor?
I'm not justifying my stock bodied car for a win...just know that guys like me, put their time and money to go faster.

hey batman i noticed one thing i believe you left out of your points system there. Creativity!! IMO there are so many 2g's with kits and small upgrades. but what about someone that swaps a 4g63 into an avenger and converts it to AWD. Thats the biggest thing in my book. I really think in the tuner world, looks is the last thing that should be judged. But thats just me

RE: December Voting!!!
I figured out how to make a gallery myself finally..it's under the title "Shreffy's '99 Eclipse GS-T"...I just got my pics back a couple of days ago so I'm still working on them resizing and all..I also want to add a couple of pics like one of my stereo system and more of interior...I'll do that tomorrow hopefully...no motor pics though, damn it!
"bdhunter" should be in this too..I gave him his 2nd nomination that he needed a llong time ago plus it'll give us 3 2g's in the running...wow, by the looks of it, noone likes mine..I guess I'm gonna stop dumping the money and time into it. I don't get it cuz it turns heads around here and people are always stopping me and asking me about it LOL. I've shown it a few times as well and it got a ton of attention at the shows...Oh well.

RE: December Voting!!!
Well all accounted for, I have to say that silvercoupe deserves the win much more than I do. The love and devition to his car far out does anything i have done to the Eclipse. To me there isnt a rating you can put on that.
