Brian. Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yessir, wanna see a cleaned up bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Amazing! I need to see a wire-tucked car in person so I can see what kind of cluster it is where all the electrical is stowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Amazing! I need to see a wire-tucked car in person so I can see what kind of cluster it is where all the electrical is stowed Looks like shit. And if you have any problem with something that's tucked, have fun pulling your hair out trying to fix it. Especially electrical. Stretching out wiring harnesses is a pain in the ass.

Earl Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yessir, wanna see a cleaned up bay? He is tucking this more. He is never satisfied. Did you see the work that went into making that intake manifold symmetrical? That's the guy TJ bought his Hamanns from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Go to a JDM fucking car meet. all you see is the motor. I believe a cleaned up bay looks nice, but a completely tucked and shaved bay looks empty and stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Looks like shit. have fun wrenching on it, won't wanna chip your mint ass engine bay. It just looks too empty.

And when shit goes wrong, it goes really wrong. Won't be a problem for me. Nothing I'm tucking is hard to get at. The harness you never need to touch=) Plus use fender mats and magnetic trays to work on your car=P Edit: Less is more Brian.

Brian. Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I like a cleaned up bay, not tucked, shaved all you see is block, and nothing else. it just looks like you're trying to hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not doing it for anyone but myself=) lol Unused bracket and holes, knots of wires and hoses. That is all nasty looking clutter to me.

None of mine need to be extended. lol The biggest pain is removing the seam sealer for me. The rest is simple. Simplified my friend. No extra hoses, wires, or tanks in my way=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 My engine bay. No work of art, but no hidden wires to dick around with. I dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Looks nice and simple. Not too crazy. Is that a KaMotors intake? I have one. My screws fell out and rusted so I had to swap them for stainless hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah, its a Kamotors intake. I like Kamotors, he is a nice guy, but the car gains quite a bit of performance without that filter on it. I am going with an ITG filter + heatshield when I get my megasquirt setup.
