Re: (clean rice)
i don't understand the functionality of replacing hard lines with braided. obviously the hard lines don't expand like the braided. the best hydraulic performance comes from hard lines, so the less you have, the less efficient. just my two cents.

its a combo of lengthening and shortening the factory wires, and making your own groups of wires for the sensors that are near each other, eliminating the factory wire tree mess.
it takes about 10-20 hours to do a nice wire job on a honda, depending on how much of a perfectionist you are. i think i added up about 16 hours of actual work for mine.
i did it with the engine still in the car though, so i could be sure that each plug had the perfect length of wire.
with the job in the picture, i guess that could be cool if you just had more than enough length on every wire, and then after everything is hooked up just pull all the slack back through the firewall to be hidden under the carpeting.

yeah, thats the truth right there. steel braided lines are great for replacing all of the factory rubber lines for the brake and clutch system, but its really funny seeing people remove all of their factory hard lines with uber high psi ratings and replacing them with hundreds of dollars in steel braided lines. infact, its just as easy and alot cheaper to roll out and install your own hardline throughout the car, which would also be a lot more efficient, but sometimes the little bit of ricer mentality in us ends up winning over performance. you'll never see one of them admit it though, except for me of course haha.
