I was talking with Mark at Griots garage before the white elephant event and told him how my car had died last month. It was a simple coupler that broke. He recommended I try Evens water less coolant. From coolant shooting all over the place my engine bay is a mess and there is some surface rust now on my engine. I have decided to go with the Evens coolant and while I'm at it replace the cooling and heating system.
Since I will have more room will the radiator and hoses gone I thought I would also touch up the engine with new paint. The engine is an MPI and is currently black. While shopping for new paint I found some gunmetal grey paint.
Need opinions on if I should go with the black that it already is or should I mix it up and go with a gunmetal grey?
To paint a picture of what the engine will look like with new parts:
blue valve cover, new silicone blue hoses and high performance aluminum radiator. Also purchased some stainless steal brackets and engine breather.
After having the twins, I have no time to work on mini. Right now I'm in Japan with wife and the kids and have been ordering parts for what I want to get done. I'll be returning with out the kids and wife so will have 3 weeks to complete what I have planned before I fly back and pick them up.
Also taking on headliner replacement during this time.
