Might be a complete noob question, but what is that mini-filter/cylinder thing next to your intake?

its an equivalent of a catch can. It replaces the PCV pipe that runs from the valvecover back into the intake (1" hole on the side of the Cobb SRI). Doing it this way ensures that absolutely no oil vapor gets into the intake whatsoever. the filter just allows the pressure to escape to the atmosphere without getting oil all over the place

Pictures are after I stripped most of my aftermarket parts today. All that is left is the Forge BPV, Corksport TP, MS CAI, and RPMC Turbo Inlet.

are you parting out or are you going to the stealership?

Parting out. I bought a new toy and my Speed3 will move to my daily driver. I wanted something that was going to be reliable and worry free. I was heavily modded with pretty much all bolt-ons except the turbo manifold. All these popped motor threads had me a little paranoid lol.

Element - what do you use to shine up the black bits (plastic and hoses) in the engine bay?

Well, do you want to sell your garage vary front lip? maybe?

I used an engine detailing spray from Turtle Wax. Works great in restoring the black bits.

I was planning on keeping it. Just the performance stuff is what I removed. If I do decide to part ways with it, I'll let you know.

Thanks!

I will be soon. Just going to clean everything up, and I will be making a big FS thread sometime soon.

I know people say they hate to give new life to a thread but I can't say I'm ashamed to do that to this one. My engine bay isn't really that pretty right now haha but anyone else got some updated pics to throw on here?

 

[blh_wakeboard]

I know we aren't supposed to link to other mazda forums but link is to a VW forum so I think it should be fine. This thread on there is one of the best engine bay threads I've ever come across that includes all different kinds of vehicles. Figured I'd post it for everyones enjoyment...

Funny, I was just thinking about this thread yesterday and hoping that maybe it would come back to life. I posted this pic in another thread a while back but maybe it will get things going.

very nice engine bay. looks like your filter might need recharging; it's looking pretty white.
