So I put on my huge ass winter coat last night along with a couple more layers of clothing and went into the 20/30 degree or so garage to work on some more wire tuckage. Worked for about maybe an hour or so.
Before the pics, I'll explain what went on. I had removed the cruise control during the summer, prior to leaving for college. I had left the black canister, the tube that went from the canister for the IM, and that little metal bracket the canister is hooked onto. So last night I removed all that and tried tuckin those wires as best as I could.
So I actually didn't do that much at all, it was just such a tight space to work with (even for me with my little asian arms/hands) that it took so long.
Here's what it looked like before:
Here are the results from last night (waited til morning to shoot pics for better lighting):
^^^ Covered the little nipple on the IM with a piece of the tubing and some electrical tape. (And yes I know, I focused on the wrong thing
)
Here is the entire thing once again:
-------------------
Any pic requests to see more? Just lemme know.
And I know you're going to say put the heatshield back on, but the bottom hole on the heatshield where the bolt goes through is rusted bad so its not an enclosed hole. It doesn't sit right on the header and rattles really really bad. As for the intake, I'm leaving it OEM because I see the most benefits from it over aftermarket.
