Default Changing the engine wires and hoses

I am a new type-R owner and the previous owner did a lot of modifications to the car and as such many of the hoses and wires aren't up to par (to my liking). I would love some help on the best way to change the old wires and hoses to new red hoses and wires. Also the grounding wires are kinda not so strong either
any help is appreciated

Mostly, stock is the way to go.

Some don't even like the wire tucking, of Type R's.

What's wrong with putting it back to OEM hoses/wiring?

If you're trying to correct previous modifications, don't correct them with more aftermarket parts. Just go back to OEM--they are going to be superior anyways.

Again, why not go back to OEM? It is the easiest and the best way.

What are you referring to exactly? If you want to know how the car was wired from the factory, then you really need to buy a factory service manual to find out what you are missing. Then, spend some time online/at the parts counter ordering the required parts.

We can't really help you with any of that.

just wanted to say since you mentioned it was a race car, i'm going to guess the electrical tape is not holding up because all of the heat melted the glue away.

yes exactly. The wiring looks very "put together" and the grounding wires are all over the place
