Awesome post. I'd love to see more shots of tucked harnesses. Engine bay looks 1 million times better IMO.

Re:

If its any help, i know my buddy takes the harness of the firewall, and any extra slack is pushed through a hole in his firewall, and the harness is under the dash. Only wires you see are parts of the harness that go to a single plug here and there. Looks awesome.

It would be cool to know how to hide all the wires like that...I also wonder if anyone else notices that a lot of people have beautifully clean engine bays with nice wiring and all but retain that crusty *** twisted and frayed copper engine ground wire going off the valve over?!?

Every Honda I've had I've replaced that wire with a motorcycle battery cable. much thicker, and better insulation.

Re: Tucked engine wiring harnesses (Steady)

Well, that all depends on where you're looking. I know there are some good experienced people who can give us some tips/starters for hiding. I remember seeing a pic of an engine bay a couple months back where everyone was even debating if it would actually run. The owner eventually stepped in and talked about how it does and how he spent many hours hiding all the wires. I'd love to get some specifics

spilce your original lines and make each wire LONGER. and then you wrap almost all of it together under the intake manifold with electricial tape.

thats how the 2 cleanest ones i ever seen were done. takes TIME AND PATIENCE....
