Some are hidden in the fender, and some in the dash.

I am noticing on most of those pix that no one has power steering, or its relocated....and what happened to the brake lines that wire into the prop valve? doet see those either.....looks like a tonne of work...and if one was to use the bondo method to go over wires....how the hell would you get at anything if you had a problem?

sounds like too much trouble. But i guess if you like it and if you wanna build a show car.

the wire harness is cut and lengthened for each area that needs to be re run, the wires are run underneath the frame rails and inside the fender wells everything is concealed neatly, dont use bondo u must be crazy, the brakes lines and prop valves are usually lowered behind the intake manifold and the engine block

wow those are some clean CLEAN A$$ ENGINES.
How much hp does this do for them? The extra space under the hood there must do at least what 10-20??

It does take time and skill, no doubt. New rice or not, it is not as easy as slapping on a "JDM style front lip" and paint your roof "black".

That's all it matters.

i think the wire tuck thing is not that ricey IMO... in fact, it will make your car more appealing if its a show car... and in terms of performance, the engine bay seem to have better air circulation...

is there a turbo b-series with wiretuck?

but to a daily driver, wiretuck is not that necessary unless you're gonna flash your engine bay around...

but like it or not, its upto the owner him/herself... to me, i like it... but at this point, its not worth it yet to me...

imported_JDMman 20-Mar-2006 10:20 AM

i don't see a point ither... id rather just clean it up make things shinny and orginize the wires so i can get as many of them running together,... so that it looks more clean... i don't like those engine bays they look naked...

Nova_Dust 20-Mar-2006 10:40 AM

Sometimes, less wires make things a bit easier. It is just another DIY thingy and making a statement.

armash 23-Mar-2006 05:24 AM

its more of a show car thing than a performance issue and at the end of the day its all abt personal preference as to what you want to do to ur ride

imported_Lonely Racer 09-Apr-2006 11:52 PM

its time consuming...... it be one of the last things i would do if i was to do it........ but yaaa looks supper nice and clean

imported_My93Civic 17-Apr-2006 01:10 AM

If you have your engine tuck, you better have a habit of washing the engine bay to look nice. Especially if your bay is black, it picks up dust fast.

imported_GHT 24-Apr-2006 02:25 AM

how is wire tuck rice??? ur just hating cause u probably have a rusted engine bay and cant do it. Stop hating on peoples tastes and just give tips. As for the wire tuck here is a pic on a b series engine

i think it looks nice but it will be expensive to find a quality place. Also to fix things it would be very hard for other shops/dealers to find the problem and therefor more $$$ on labour. Think long and hard before making ur decision. No doubt it makes ur bay look cleaner but maintenance is a B*tch.
