Actually its much easier to work on your engine with a wire tuck. Think about not having all of that spaghetti in the way when trying to get to those tight spots. Auto manufacturers didnt design the harness to be mechanic friendly, they designed and built them that way to keep the costs down. It costs much more to engineer and produce things in a modular setup.

If you do a good job on the wiring of a swap, it will look like it was always there. It looks good on show cars though. Hopefully it will pass like the West coast trend of plastering stickers all over the windows.</TD></TR></TABLE>

My engine harness stays on when I pull my motor. It takes less than 5 minutes to have all of my electrical disconnected. Even if I was building a track car I would still do a wire tuck!

If its a trend than I'm really trendy for clean cars that are built right!

Agreed. I'm going to do a very mild wire tuck, but I don't plan to move the fuse block. It is definatly easier to work with less stuff in the way, but I'm not building a show engine bay. Basically the only people who see it is me and kylefakesir

 

Honestly I'm sick of all this trend talk! Anything you do to your car can be considered a trend. Just being in the Honda scene is a trend in itself. By that way of thinking why do any modding to our cars at all!!

yes Si'r

thats how we do it at VEGA_BOX Garage

if it takes less then 10 minutes to do we do it.
anything hard we send it to the mechanic

 

Go point. I'm going to undo all my mods just to be different!

What's a decent header that fits a b series but clears the stock crossmember, besides DC?

Hey man as long as its clean and in good taste who cares how trendy it is! I build my car for me and me alone!

 

Same here. I think most people do, and that's how it should be.

A clean EF is a good EF

edit: Kyle, check your PM

I didnt mean it was bad trendy thing, but after seeing so many bays tucked and mine nice and mint (if i had a shitty looking wires i would of tucked them). It kinda seems better in my case to leave it untucked. That is all im saying, dont act like there is sand in your vag and ****. I

 

I actually thought it was harder to work on your car with a wire tuck...
or maybe its just me because I'm always screwin with the wires but I might have t look into that soon

 

If the wiring is done right it wont have to be touched again unless you add a new component.

There's nothing wrong with a clean oem bay if that's the look you are going for. The impression I got from both you and civicandy is that you were too lazy to put in the effort and were justifying it by calling it trendy.

There are alot of tucked bays out there but in the grand scheme of things there really arent that many. I know I havent seen them all but my guess is there are less than a hundred tucked bays and even fewer shaved bays. I could be wrong though as I dont go to many shows!

Im not lazy at all, (ok maybe when im REALLY stoned) im accually doing my freinds harness for his k20 crx, we are gutting everything and pulling out every wire that isnt need. Then with the little left over its getting tucked. Like i said i have alot of respect for it, i enjoy looking at them, but for my crx, its staying oem.

 

any of you EF guys interested in 2 Recaro, 2 rails, and 2 TAKATAS for $1300 PM me

 

Yeah I actually enjoy looking at really really clean oem bays as well, but it must be super clean otherwise nothing stands out. Eric, aka fourthgenhatchB17, had the cleanest oem bay I had ever seen on an EF and I gave him props for it. Now he even has a mildy tucked bay lol!

I guess it comes down to how **** you are about your car! I have OCD when it comes to my engine bay hence the wire tucked and shaved bay. I still have more I want to do!

You be the judge




Any one know how to get the vtec sol nice and clean?

 

Its fairly clean but it could be cleaner. Maybe the pics dont do it justice! When I mean clean I mean every single hose,wire, bracket, and painted surface is immaculate. But yours looks good.

Now you be the judge on mine.

 

wow talk about battle of the bays

can't wait until I'm able to post my bay

Thanks for the compliment! However, i think u have a lot more man hours into your engine bay with all that shaving and painting going on, lol. Too bad im not a paint and body guy or else mine would be shaved and sprayed as well.

Wire brush the surface rust off and try some mothers mag and alum. polish. Mine came out blingin.

 

It still isnt as clean as I want it. I will be removing the wiper motor and windshield cleaner resevoir and hiding the overflow tank. I will be switching to a fluidyne radiator like yours too. I still have alot to do!

I wasn't trying to say I'm lazy. I've done all the work on my car by myself so far, except some of the wiring. I just don't want to do a full wire tuck. However, they do look much better than a engine bay full of crap. On a super clean show car, you need a tucked bay.
