OHhhhhhhhhhh

We want more.......we want more trav!

[BiGANG]

why is the brake master on the other side of the engine bay as well? Also where the hell do u hide the fuse boxes? Looks like heaps of trouble, but looks really hot though

because those two photos of engine bays above , are of Left-hand drive cars. That is , the brakes and thus booster are on the opposite side to ours :)


Lookin good trav !

[A'PEXi]

running out of cable ties trav? hahahahha

[egSi]

mine will be done soon i think, but the more i do the more i want to tuck more.

fuse box is the cabin now man. ;)

[civicboy]

ur kiddin??
shrink wrap/crimps/solder etc man :rolleyes: :p

[**Ghost**]

ok no offense to neone i do reckon it looks neat

BUT y would ppl actually bother dressing up their engine bay when u only see it when u service ur car?!?!!?

my conclusion Trav? it aint a waste of time hell no... ur doing a good job... now all u need is to go and buy a SEE THROUGH BONNET!!!!! :P

[egSi]

i think its more of an appearance thing man.


like y r ppl got pretty cam covers? pretty coloured shocks + springs etc.

im doin it coz

a. its cheap.
b. my car is old and prolly need rewiring anyways
c. its JDM y0! jks!
d. looks sick as **** coz when u post a pic of ur car u always get the "engine pics please" so yeah my lil d13 craby will look sick as when im done :thumbsup:

[**Ghost**]

rofl i get ya point... i dunno i've never bougth nething appearance for my engine such as volt stabilisers, colored wires, sleeving kits, spoon socks, covers, sparkies covers etc etc

but yah, u'd look MAD when something ask for engine bay pics : )

[A'PEXi]

fuse box in the cabin? is that a mission and a half?

[BiGANG]

How did u hide all the sensor cables and wiring and relays for headlights etc.? Also how long have you spent tucking so far? LOOKS FARKN HOT MAN, i wanna do mine but im scared ill start and never finish

[egSi]

thanks for comments guys, i didnt think many ppl would be interested but yeah.


as for fuse box in cabin, yes it is. u dont realise how big it is until u take it out then it goes on, but i must say it wasnt that bad as the headlights.

i am i say bout half way through it. on mon night me and my friend spent 7hrs doin it together. mad props go to u creg(zc crx) :thumbsup: but i have spent many hours before that by myself, but well worth it when u pop ur hood and see a wireless engine bay ;)


i have the passenger side to do plus rewire battery which is easy i just need some more stuff.

allot of time is take up my makin or modifyin new bracked to hold shit. for example there is a massive bunch of shit aka the 'birds nest' just near the drivers side strut, i had to relocate all this and then mod the bracket to hold the throttle cable as well.

the US guys do have it easier tho, LHD has throttle cable well hidden where as our RHD cars have throttle cables that take the scenic route and cirum navigate the whole friggin engine bay.

1 thing that is definately the best part of this whole operation, there is a million times more room for my intake!! yay! i know it sounds dumb but now i can position it better over my cai and further away from radiator hoses etc. :thumbsup:

anyways i wanted to do more tonight but im fittin some springs with creg so i doubt ill get anymore done.

thanks for the interest guys and ill post some more pics when i get closer to completion. :thumbsup:

stay tuned this is Trav TV :D :D :D

[Steer^Gimic]

nice one mate!
my chances of attempting this before i light my loom on fire purely out of anger, would be about 87%

props!

[ORACER]

nice one!

[BiGANG]

i had a look at some engine wire tuck jobs done in the us, they even hide brake lines and weld the holes in the firewall, are you going to go this crazy with it, sounds like a lot of trouble but looks smick though

I hear ya buddy.. ;) not many hirollers around that have run out of stuff to do to their car that they have to look to shaving their engine bay.. I think many of us are very far from that stage.

anyway. post up some more pics when you get a chance mate..

[Vtec_inside]

have to say ur very brave TRAV!! looks good but man so much ****ing around, if u got an auto eletrcian to do it cost ****ing bucket load.

[JasonGilholme]

Diggin up an old thread here.

You got some pics of ya engine bay now trav?? Will be interesting to see the difference.

[barefootbonzai]

lol making it sound so difficult. There's not really much too it, the main wires you need to hide is the ones to your headlights, horn etc. Just run that shit in the fendars and you're pretty much done. Not a very good pic but here's my tucked bay.

im a noob im sure sure if im going 2 attempt this... yet... lol

[civicboy]

where's the good spot 2 hide ur siren/alarm box????

[riceball]

where's the good spot 2 hide ur siren/alarm box????

In your glove box.

[XP02ED]

ive done this, 3/4 done...

its pretty easy if you know about electrical stuff!

there is a few ground wires you will need to extend, some wires you can cut to reduce the length!
this is for a obd1 wiring loom!

[AsH_]

i kno electronics but in not the most knowledgable person wen it comes 2 cars...

im sure i am able 2 do it...

is there a plan or a list of where exactly to store the contents of the engine bay...

[JasonGilholme]

Theres no real plan. Just find somewhere thats out of the way.

Theres plenty of different places.

[XP02ED]

hey ash, u go along with what you see... thats what i did...

i got a few now, ill post up a DIY with left side being done

[civicboy]

inside the glove box huh, where do u attached it cz i still use my glovebox?

XP02ED, how long does it take do it...was wondering if u can do mine since u only live round Mt. Druitt? hihihi :p

[XP02ED]

hahahaa i told vtc 8oy that it would take 4 hours if you do it right and make sure everything is done properly.

mine took abit longer coz of fog light, and alarm system...

maybe pm me
