Went home for the weekend, so I decided to wash the engine bay. Did it the lazy way. Sprayed it down with Super Clean, let it sit, startered 'er up, and hosed 'er down. Turned out pretty good, considering I didn't actually scrub anything. I don't think the engine bay has ever been cleaned on this fox.

Before:



After:




I also decided to paint my drums, unfortunatly I didn't have any black paint. So I did silver for now.

 

Also, after I was done the car was running like crap, which was expected. It would die under WOT and would stall or back fire. Left it overnight and ran fine the next day. But now my belt squeeks. You guys think it would be the belt itself, or one of the pullies?

 

damn, you did a good job, it even cleaned the cap and wires back to their original color lol


j/k...

looks pretty nice

 

Ha ha the before pic was from when I first bought the car

 

you wouldn't of had to leave it overnight had you of wipped out the condensation from inside the cap after washing engine

 

I wasn't too worried about it running fine right away, It's not insured, so I was only driving it on the back roads near by anyway. I went zipping around a corner, and the car infront of me heard my engine roar, and pulled off to the side to let me pass.

But with the squeeky belt. I noticed after I got some super clean is when it started squeeking, and when it got wet it would go away. You guys think a new belt will solve it, or is it more likely one of the pullies?

 

go buy the belt try it out it if dont work return it say it was the wrong size lol sometimes a lil wd40 will stop the belt from squeeking for a lil while

 

great job, looks brand spankin new!!

 

good job, looks better

 

Mmmmmm i see ur selling ur car, thsts problly why u cleaned it.
