What is datadot exactly lol

I think IIRC they spray the car with dots that are unique to your car so if it's stolen they scan the panels and can match it to your car

I thought the OEM caliper bolts were gold passivate plated.

 

So there you go!


If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

BBOD and battery hold down were scratched and a bit unsightly. Sandblasted and painted in the obligatory satin black. While apart I cleaned all the hoses and solenoids out. 

 

Remove all yellow fluid caps and parts bathed so they have no dirt/grease on them.

 

Power Steering reservoir was dirty inside so removed, cleaned out thoroughly and flushed the system. Now you can actually see the fluid level. :D   

 

Very happy with the presentation of the engine bay now. Everything neat and tidy. STi Genome strut brace coming in a week. Paint the mounts satin black and I reckon the engine bay is done.

A job well done as usual. The engine bay is looking REAL nice.

 

What did you use to clean/bathe the yellow caps?


Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille

Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

Ha ha, I was thinking degreaser or something. Mine are getting a little ratty especially on the oil cap. And no problems with the underside of the caps or did you just remove those bits?

No but seriously, this engine bay I would eat off.

Its some environmentally friendly industrial stuff. Works well. Removed the caps and cleaned them along with any gaskets/seals/o rings attached.

 

You forgot to spray the hose connector bracket on the bbod.
 

 

Purposefully left to match the other brackets in the bay that are the oem plated gold color.

 

I really can't wait to take photos of this. *SMILES*

 

Will sure beat my phone pics. :)

Sounds hardcore. I guess degreaser and/or WD40 might be the way to go for me. :P
