Looks good.
Is that strut bar hitting the brake fluid cap?

Looks good so far. That was the weak link for my car at the shows last year. But this year I'm taking care of that. Got some engine dress ups, greddy catch can, and I'm going to do a really good degreasing before the season starts. My engine bay is dirty as hell right now!

Hey man that looks great!!!
1 suggesstion however... I learned this from a friend who judges at several Import Events.
The Ground Wire kit looks great and VERY clean with those zip-ties, BUT...
The long Rear wire that you have balancing onto the Strut Bar would lose points.
Even if you dont go to shows, F-it just for better pro looks... I would suggest this:

There is a grey/black fire retardent pad on the firewall behind the engine,
See if you can bring/tuck the wire behind that, around and out, back twards where you wanna bolt it.
This way its not so spidery, nor is it relying on another entity (Strut bar) for support.
If that doesnt work, maybe bring it from the underside around again, so the Intake Manifold area hides it a bit...

Other than that (which isnt bad at all, really) I think You have an Outstanding & Exemplary Engine Bay!!!

PS:
Whered you get that Strut Bar? Thats hott.

thanks for the suggestion if i ever show it ill prob just remove that wire for the contest as for the grounding kit its your generic ebay type. If you look in the How To section i did a full install with pictures. I figure the cables are just as good as the more expensive kits so why not get the cheaper generic and just use the cables. Check it out https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=177422
And the strut bay which matches my lower rear tie bar is from Racing Options.
