That was just high temp rattle can.... I had to replace the valve cover gaskets, so I decided to paint the covers while they were off...
Damn...picked up on the K&N just by the sticker, huh? As far as performance, the only thing I've really done was the full WSP exhaust. Right now I am using the stock b-pipe and muffler, eventually I'll put the wsp/magnaflow back on. Honestly, I have no ambitions to try to make a 'race car', if I were going to do that, I'd start with something RWD....
But yes, I have done a ton of work to this car - just about everything except get internal on the engine.

Everything was flushed and cleaned when I did the whole car/tranny swap....maybe just the angle or flash when I took the pic.
Here's a link to my posts on the NissanX boards when I was building this car...

amazing, my only complaint is the rather large dirty corroded throttle cable thinger on the throttle body. Chroming that would be the final touch for perfection.

ok take that apart for me and put it back together w/o messing everything up after the chrome plating then talk.

next thing i'll hear you say is that my tranny case is too dull

unless you have done it yourself then you can't really critize about the work right?
