engine clean up

[AYSHUNBOY]

hey guys, was curious if any one has tucked all the wires from the engine bay to be hidden, so pretty much the engine just stands out.. full clean as.. if soo, could you recommend some places for it to be done in nsw.. thanks

[GIPONU]

i dont think there are places that do it.
most people will just tell u to remove all a/c and p/s components. that that'll be all ur hoses and lines gone.
then more people will tell u relocate all ur fuse boxes and anything electrical to behind the dash or in the guards somewhere, which involves cutting all the wires, naming them all, extending them all and solder back up again.
then some others will then tell u to even relocate the battery and make custom brackets for it etcetcetc
then u got people who also relocate their brake components and make new lines for it. or go to earls and buy braided lines and tuck them all away...

in the end, its just how creative u are with it.
i've done a little bit on my car but nothing extreme, just taken off the whole front end when i did a respray and hid wat i could in the guards

yep, if ur willing to get rid of ur power steering and air con theres 50% of ur wires n hoses right there. Doesnt exactly require a pro mechanic to do that either.

[Samm928]

[GIPONU]

[Lukey]

[Lukey]

im confuzzled

[grifty]

all you remove is teh ac lines and compressor, the hoses that go to the heater core are separate.

[kwokstaa]

any playces in VIC that do this?

[AYSHUNBOY]

cheers guys!! i was thinking though if you do take out the a/c and p/s would the car and stuff still act accordly the same as before, would there be any dramas later on in the future..

[AYSHUNBOY]

It's stuff you have to apply every few weeks, or every time u wash your car.

Theres a diff application for outside and inside part of window.

I got it from JDMyard a bit back, it was like an oem honda product.

SPray it on and wipe and smooth over evenly.

Screen doesnt fog up and even if it does its only around the corners of the windscreen.

If you do remove your A/C get the system de-gassed by a professional air conditioning workshop because the refrigerant depletes the O-zone layer when released into the atmosphere, it is also Illegal to release it into the atmosphere and can result in very expensive fines.

Wash ur windows n apply this shiz... windows dont fog up but u gotta reapply like once every few weeks or so for best effect. And no, heater still works lol
