How do you keep your engine bay clean? Mine is all rusted and filthy and gross and some of the nuts are rusting off. I mean it's a 15 year old car, but what are you supposed to do to prevent it?

Sadly weren't offered with the intercooled version here... been toying with the idea of installing one, but not sure if its worth it due to stringent rules and bi-yearly inspections

Do it, even just a shitty little top mount you can swap in/out for the inspection would be a massive improvement.

A soarer/supra factory side mount intercooler would work literally perfectly, pic related

>>16685173

So should I just poke some holes in various parts of the engine until the rust goes away? I don't know anything about cars btw so I don't actually know where the oil is.

What's the purpose of having a hood at that point

Should I clean my engine bay with the hose method? Car is 20 years old never been cleaned. It isn't that dirty I am worried the brittle and weak old hoses and other parts of plastic will deteriorate more from being wet and maybe other problems will crops up. Would be nice to be able to look at and work on a nice clean engine though. I am thinking of just taking a blower I have and blwoing out all the debris and then just spot cleaning with a rag and degreaser. There are leaves and bits of battery corrosion and other things around the engine bay.

PCV valve
Instead of a filter they route a hose from the PCV to the intake pipe, which is stock. The filter is called a "breather" and just catches the oil carried along with the air pressure released from the PCV. You wouldn't want some oil into the intake because it may cause engine blow by and it ticks me off how manufacturers still connect the PCV to the intake for "emissions" when it doesn't really do anything.
An alternative to the Breather is having a Oil Catch can connected inbetween the PCV-Intake hose so you have the air still passing through the system but the oil is separated, you will have to empty the can occasionally though.

When I need to fix something, I don't want it to be hidden away.

I mean it's okay, just makes it easier to work on. It's nice when shit isn't grimy.

Shaved engine bays are really neat and cool to look at it. Wouldn't ever do it myself though, I prefer factory. I like to see everything in the engine bay that makes the car what it is. Why hide it? There's more to a car than just the engine itself.

>>16685247
You can get a similar effect by forgetting put your oilcap on and then driving the car around. Enjoy your potential fire in the engine bay.

I bought it new in 2015 but it is still really clean because whenever I open the hood to inspect fluids, I will also do some cleanup on parts including dusting them off. Even the engine cradle area way down below gets wiped off. So it still looks like new.

Doing a little each time is much better than letting things get totally dirty everywhere and facing a much bigger (and annoying) clean up job.
