Nothing special... But during my head swap, I decided to brighten some things up. Love it or hate it, I think it came out ok.
Had a grey fast 92... Painted it up.


Crinkle coated valve covers, timing cover, and water pump.




Also painted coils... And put the ATi super Damper on


Torque arm...almost ready to go on


Also polished a ton of bolts.


And where it sits now, almost done...

Looks great! I like the red coils on the black covers also. Gives it a really nice touch.

I just might have to do the same to my car lol! So how did you paint the coils?

Thanks fellas. I thought it looked good too.

As far as painting them... I cleaned each one really good, then sprayed an adhesion promoter on them. Then a light primer, then used high temp paint on them. I hung them on fishing line while spraying. Once done, I baked at 200 degrees for 2 hours so the paint could cure really good, then I polished them. Lots of work but they're shiny.

nice touches, I've been wandering how people paint their coils, now I know!

When I painted my coils I just shot them with wheel paint then clear. If you really want to add the the clean look swap out the ugly stock bolts for stainless allen headed cap screws.

I did mine gunmetal with black brackets. Subtle but clean IMO.

I got them locally at a bolt supply store. They weren't cheap at around $26 a set. But I just looked and you can get them on ebay cheap. Search ls1 stainless coil bolts or stainless 6mm x 1

Get your thread/pitch and length, then pick some up from McMaster-Carr. They aren't a sponsor but they're a pretty generic site selling all kinds of non-car things so maybe mods won't delete it. Also get button head screws, IMO they look a little nicer...and they can be polished

Looks good! Now do the TCS Relocation and get those wires out of the way!


I also painted my coils but I just a good cleaning and high temp paint. They look good but not as good as those. I might redo my valve covers using that method though!

What all is involved for the TCS relocation? I am also going to do the wire tuck mod and would like to do a few other things to clean up the bay.

looks good! love the intake


all that black up front will make it a tad harder to spot a leak in the future though.

Ehh, its a summer cruiser that sits in my garage for the most part... So if it leaks there should be fluid on my garage floor. After the engine is done and running, I will be getting a staggered set of either ccw classics or FM10's...

Well thanks for the advice. It was fairly easy.
