Default Show Us Your Bay

Everyone shows the exterior of their motors but very little is ever shown of the interior or even the engine.
So lets get a thread started show off our engine bay, be it clean, dirty, standard or chromed up.

What you got?

I need to clean mine at some point then I'll add a picture.

Now that's a thing of beauty... and the interior's great as well.

Decided it was best to clean the engine bay after spraying the vacuum pipes with Easy Start to see if I could isolate my issues, so this thread was well timed. Anybody know how to clean the alloy manifold? Looking for something quick and simple.

For some reason I can't upload my photo to my album, so here's one that I took in January. It's now slightly cleaner.

Looking tidy in there, was just about to ask what the solenoids were for then seen the sticker and read your sig

Are they good on the gas?
