Hey guys,
So I decided to start tucking my engine bay. I didn't expect to go as far as I am now, but once I started hiding things, I wanted to hide more & more stuff. I'm not going to the extreme like coomer did, just wanted to clean up the motor a bit. Engine before I started the tuck, it was neat, but I wanted to venture further.  I started with the passenger side, because its the easiest.  I had to remove the fenders, front bumper, and eventually the hood. I will get better pics tomorrow, my camera ran out of battery. Here is a blurry cellphone pic of the frame rail tucked.  I'm happy with the results, then the wiring to the alt and O2 sensor started to annoy me. lol So I jumped in on the drivers side Here is some of the tuck and the relocated fuse box  I can't believe how time consuming this is. I have the engine harness out of the car now, I will rewire the entire harness so I can completely hide it. Blurry pic warning, its getting there.  I still have a ton of work to do on it, consider that the almost half way point, still plenty of things to hide and relocate. I have a feeling I'm gonna pull the engine  I will get some better pics tomorrow. Any suggestions ? DEF --------------------  I will return one day. |

QUOTE (Defgeph @ Oct 18, 2010 - 9:24 PM)  QUOTE (DEATH @ Oct 18, 2010 - 5:40 PM) Hey bro - one thing I do see - stretching the throttle cable that high will cause the car to redline 3 secs after you start it. Ask me how I know  The throttle cable has been routed that way for 3 years with no problem. I'd like a different cable though, something I could hide. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Did you do the mod to the throttle cable stay on the Valve Cover? What engine/car does your throttle cable come from? Mine is retarded sensitive to position. If I just have mine running over the IC Piping the wrong way it changes the idle. I too would like one that is able to run somewhere more descretly and perhaps not so sensitive to the positioning. QUOTE (presure2 @ Oct 19, 2010 - 7:56 AM)  neither of those look like the ALT plug to me, jeff. that last one looks like my o2 plug They aren't - I'd be glad to run out and take a pic and text it to you if you'd like.
