Well I did a wire tuck on my 91 civic dx. Everything works perfect and looks nice I'm also trying to clean the bay up a little more I relocated my battery to the trunk. I removed my window washer resiovar now the qusestion I still want my window washers to work. Has any one ever relocate it there trunk area I'm think about doing it and I figured out how I would mount it and run the wires for the washer motors and how I would route the Tubing. I was just wondering if any one has thought of this or did this or am I the first lol. Any comments or opinions welcome lol

 

lol I relocated my battery to my trunk so your not the first, as long as its securely placed so it wont bounce arround it will make your bay look a but better. Wheres the tech?

 

i thought about it with mine BUT it was a waste of a time to me and nothing wrong with it as long as the bottle and blue lid are nice and clean it looks clean take some 1500 grit sand paper give it a lil wet sand and it will look brand new.. other wise to much work to me just my opinion

 

Lol I'm not talking about relocating my battery I kno I'm not the first for that lmao. I'm talking about relocating the window washer resivor to the trunk.....lol

 

^^^^ I just did away with the window washers all together. I only have the sprayers in my hood to cover the holes. What do you need the window washers for anyway? Just keep the car clean lol.

 

window washer fluid does more damage to the paint than its worth

 

i just took all that out on my car.

thats what rain X is for! =D
haha.


but none the less its still a cool idea man! post pics after you do it!

 

^^^^^ Exactly. Rain-x FTW

 

Lol I relocated my washer resivor into the trash. Looks nice there.

 

The bottle is mostly inside the bumper. Just cut the filler neck off and tape it to seal it. I rarely ever need to fill it anyway.

 

Update. I did relocate my washer bottle to the trunk hear are the pics. It took me about 45 mins to do it.

 

i really dont see how thats any better but whatever, not my car.

 

^^^ I did it more to be diffrent. And I want my engine bay to look as empty as possible. But I also wanted my washer nozzle to still work cuz where I live the windows always get dirty. Yes I could have done wat you said cut it down but I wanted to do something diffrent... plus when my cargo cover is on you can't see the washer bottle So that works for me. Also I'm saving up to peace togeather a turbo set up. And the ic piping will have to threw the hole where the washer bottle neck was or ima have to cut threw the frame on drive side to run the piping along the bottom eaither way the bottle would have to be removed lol. but I rather go option a. And run the ic piping threw the hole where the bottle neck was. cuz I hear that cutting the hole in the frame weakens the frame pluse that's a no brainer that it will weaken it...

 

Got any pics of the engine bay? I wanna see what else you can put in your trunk.

 

I know that Evo have their washer tank in the rear. I always thought it was kinda cool.


Also for many turbo guys who run FMIC, they almost always have to give up their washer tanks. As for my setup I'm keeping the tank where it is since I'll be running more of back door'ish style FMIC.

Also I shaved my rear antenna and removed my hose line back there. Instead I just installed the washer nipple on the front of my bumper to spray at at my FMIC.

 

As for wat else can you fit in the trunk that's about it. Most people put there batterys back there to clean up the bay or to make more room but like I said I'm going turbo in the future. So I would have to remove my washer bottle unless I did the back door set up but I don't want to go that route. But I also want my window washers to work so I came up with this idea cuz I have seen other modle cars with the washer bottle in the trunk so I figured ill do it to my honda lol.

 

Custom box that sits in where the opening is in the first pic would be way better....the long neck of the oem tank makes it look weird in the trunk.... Props on being different. Just make it look clean is all I'm saying

 

^^^^^ when I have my cargo cover in you can't see it it covers the trunk area. But I kno its there but it don't bother me lol. I kno it looks weird but it works that's all I was worried about

 

Maybe sometime in the future I will look in to getting a smaller washer bottle from a diff car or see if I can find a smaller one on the internet I'm sure they sell aftermarket washer bottles you can find anything on the web lol

 

would have been a better option

 

^^^^^ read my reasonings why I relocated it to my trunk.

 

yup the only way to do a proper engine bay tuck is to ditch the wiper washer system altogether.

 

its not even that big of an eyesore. i like clean windows in the winter so i love my washer nozzles. and damaging the paint? what are you ppl using for fluid? acetone?

 

This.

 

yeah but it wouldn't have been noticeable if you cut it right below the hole put the cap on it. as far as turbo goes, don't have to have a backdoor set-up to avoid moving your washer bottle


although i took mine out b/c i'll be running my oil cooler in that spot
