Has anyone found a good purchase on some Engine dress up kits. I have only seen a few at local Auto parts places like Advanced,Auto Zone but they seem to be expensive for the little bag you get. If info would be appreciated thanks.

 

I have seen OBX with some stuff for the radiator hoses but OBX hasn't been very reliable in my experience and their customer service is pitiful. I bought some blue Silicone Hoses but then realized that they are "not for fuel or other fluid applications". So if you want to tinker with your vacuum lines.... Unless you want to show your car, I would leave it alone under the hood. Keep it clean and functional and it will give you few problems.

 

Ya its show

 

Brian, I would suggest you don't touch your car anymore after looking at your cardomain site

 

First off not sure what more you can do in your engine bay, unless you were going for a differerent look or color. As far as silicone hose go to www.stylinmotors.com. Neonknight0311 you are part right on fluid thing. Silicone can NOT be used for Oil or Fuel Applications. It can however be used for Coolant Hose like you said that you bought it for radiator hoses. It could also be used for Wiper fluid.

Messing with the vacuum lines. Did you know that stock vacuum lines can be the first place a mechanic looks for problems. The stock rubber can dry rot very quickly. Thus causing leaks in the vacuum lines. These leaks can be major cause to performance level of your car. Especially if you are running a Turbo. Vacuum lines should be checked on a regular basis. Look for cracks or flaky rubber especially at the connection point or wherever the hose takes sharp bends. Silicone is the best replacement.

A mechanic once told me, " I stopped replacing vacuum lines with silicone because they would never go bad, and if they don't go bad I can't charge for replacing them".

 

Found this while surfing around last night. Only problem is it ends on Thursday.
