Engine bay babes

Although i am not mechanically privileged I do appreciate the splendor of the complexities within the power house. Some owners go that extra mile or two making the powerhouse a piece of art.... wim respects that! This example from a Supra twin turbo is my current winner.

Some stunning examples already rolleyes_anim.gif We would love to know what car and any development history though peeps cool04.gif So far i am good for the Starlet and the Lexus but Sam's examples leave me wondering :thumbsup_anim: The first one looks like it may be a Skyline engine babe?

 

wim says: I think we will really enjoy this thread..... Long may it continue.

Also appreciate the power-house with the clothes off.. This example from tdi towers captures an interior view most don't see.

Not a single MX5 engine.....I'm going to cheat and show you a really lovely engine from our club MX5 Nutz - Jay (aka Blackbullet) has put SO MUCH work into this - it nearly won best Mazda at JAE2006.

The setup is an FM2 Turbo Kit.

A couple of mine in its current state. The pics aren't too good (camera phone). But if it ever stops raining I'll take some proper ones.

I've had the cam cover polished but with all the cables / wires on show you can't really tell from the pics. Its a shame unless you fit an engine cover, like Bazzas then the IS engine bay can look a bit too cluttered with cables etc.

I'm waiting to see if my pm has the right answer, however i think it is, i have never physically been around it, but from other peoples recollections and pictures it was a very good example.

Was!.... Oh dear :)

Thats not how an engine should look.......no oil splattered anywhere!!..........i've never got the colour coded cables and shiny bits thing.(very sad) :)

 

And no not even when my son had his Cossie.

 

Just my opinion thats all. :)
