Re: Official SOHC wire tuck thread
Looking really good man! I have a few things that you may take in to consideration to clean it up a bit more:
1. Move your ground wire from your valve cover from the front to the back.
2. Rotate the nipple on the intake manifold where the vacuum hose connects to the brake booster. Simply get a sledge hammer and tap it and it should rotate freely. That way, the hose will be out of site.
3. Remove the metal bracket next to the radiator that holds the relays (for the fans/ac?). Once you take that bracket off, you can zip tie those relays somewhere lower, out of sight.

Or
Can we get some pics looking at the front end to see what it looks like through the front bumper grill?
Because I had thought about making a cover of some sort so people wouldn't be trying to look through my bumper to see inside my engine bay...

Re: Official SOHC wire tuck thread
Yeah, that's all I did... I didn't like the huge bracket that sat up on top of the strut tower, so I just eliminated that and pushed the cable down along the side of the strut tower. I didn't feel any difference at all in the pedal and there has never been any binding or anything.

I have always wondered where I can get a throttle cable that is a little bit shorter. Kinda like the guys running individual throttle bodies seem to have.

Took the heatwrap off the intake and color matched it to the valve cover. Like it a lot more.

Re: Official SOHC wire tuck thread
With the hood pins back that far the air could still get under the front of it and cause it to lift. I just don't want to risk the hood pins cracking the hood, so I run the stock latch for extra protection. Plus I don't have the locking hood pins, so I don't want random people to be able to walk by and open my hood if they wanted....

Re: Official SOHC wire tuck thread
I've never had a car with cruise control, so I won't be much help on this one.... I've seen someone mount it inside their wiper cowl, but that sounds like an electrical problem waiting to happen.
