Next up was the engine bay where Keever again mixed old school style with new school tech. A Chasebays engine harness and brake line tuck keep the bay nice and simple. Gold washers and purple nuts were used to accent the bay throughout. The Mugen 4-1 header was installed using titanium cap screws, a nice touch. But the winner in the customized department has to be the EK9 Mugen air box which Anthony disassembled then remolded. The custom fiberglass lower section makes this piece fully-functional.
Everyone knows that wheels can make or break any car. This is never more true than with old school cars. But once again Keever came through with a set of white 15" Mugen CF-48 that look amazing on the car. Matching the contrast piping on the moldings these wheels are the icing on the cake. Hopefully this isn't the last time we see the EF tuned by a younger generation. Can the EF make a comeback in 2010? Only time will tell.
