Yesterday i had some free time so i took the mi16x4 for a drive may be last drive as FWD, i haven't driven it for almost a year, and i've forgotten how fun is it to drive, and thet engine wants to rev and rev, the opposite off my daly driver, i've been busy the last couple of weeks, and the weather been bad, soon will start the tear down on the mi16x4, i'm not sure if i should paint the engine bay factory color of my car use to be black, the previous owner has change it to silver, when i got the car the paint was a mess so i pay for a professional paint job, but the engine bay stayed black

Is easter today so no working in the garage, about the engine bay i was planning to repaint it, but i've changed my mind, for now i'm going to pressure wash it clean it the best i can, if it looks bad then i will paint it, in many JDM cars from the factory the engine bay came grey or black, and is alot of work to prep it propely then do primer, base coat, clear coat, if it was a solid paint it will been a done deal.

I've been busy modifying the mi16 fuel rail to adapt to AN6 fittings, it was very difficult to weld the nut to the rail, first use my mig welder, it was leaking, took it to a friend he welded it with a tig welder and it again leaked, then i used silver solder to make it seal now i put it in high built primer not sure what color to paint the rail, now i have all the parts to finish the fuel system and make it safe, i've had bad experiance with fuel leaks.
