Wire Tuckin' the EJ6

[Szady]

Seems like everyone is jumping on the Wire Tuck wagon, so I figured Id have a go at it. I actually enjoy doing it. I cant get rid of P/S because my fiancee drives the car too, so once she gets her own car, the P/S is going. Ive already taken out the A/C, and the Cruise Control. The drivers side is done for the most part, except up behind the headlight. The passenger side is another story. Theres so many hoses/wires back there, and its not like you can just get rid of them. Anyone have any ideas for that side? Oh, and the little white wire is for my foggies. I didnt feel like messing w/that, so I just left it.

looking a lot better amn! i would remove power steering and air condition= if you want to clean up the engine bay, i don't like piwer steering when racing, but sometimes i wish i had AC. move your alarm siren horn, and take that power wire that probably goes to a sub and tuck it back behind the battery into the firewall.
===then spray your engine with simple green and pressure wash it.... also, might look better, sand the "HONDA" on the valve cover so it is that silver color, it looks nice!

Yea, there gonna be gone REAL soon. I needed nozzles ASAP, and theyre cheaper than OEM ones (OEM ones broke, and I was broke so...).

I had a strut bar in, and the intake kept rubbing the bar. So I took the bar off, and havent gotten a new intake. How can you not tell a difference? On the passenger side, yeah. Theres not much done. But the driver side has quite abit done to it.

I need ones since the stock ones don't fit my VIS hood so maybe I have to just paint some LED ones since they fit very well with the screw and all

give me urs

Id love to give you mine. Too bad they dont work. They squirt my hood....and Ive tried aligning them....theyre busted. Cheap WalMart parts FTW!!

sorry, i don't see a difference.... why even bother a tuck when its not gonna be like this:

its not a wire tuck job if its not like that ^^^
Not trying to jack your thread...just saying that i've seen too many threads where people simply tuck some wire and call it a "wire tuck" job.

but your bay does look cleaner....i guess.

 

[Szady]

Yea, Im not done yet. Eventually, Im gonna fill all the holes, and repaint the bay. That wont be for awhile now, but this IS my DD. I also dont have thousands of dollars to dump into a wiretuck/engine bay make-over. Just because you dont see immediate results, dosent mean its not done right.

sometimes the lighting can make it look better or worse

here is mine

 

[JohnS.]

Yeah lightning REALLY makes a HUGE difference. I'll post mine in a sec.

Yours looks good too . Spend more time. I've spent a total of about 7 hours on mine and still have more to do.

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

damn son rust is owning you

good work though

 

[JohnS.]

Thats what happens when you live in western NY about an hour under Lake Ontario and an hour from Buffalo.

Bad winters up the wazoo .

relocate the battery to the rear.

 

[JohnS.]

relocate the battery to the rear.

And relocate the fuse box to the glove compartment

And relocate the fuse box to the glove compartment

eh thats a lil extreme, the fuse box is reletively hidden imo (the black color helps too) and the trouble of relocating elsewhere is not worth the looks, the battery on the other hand....

i think that when trying to clean up the bay and hide wires you should NOT wrap them with baby blue wire loom..

i think there is a lot more you can do that will not cost you anything.. post some more pictures as you progress..

Yea, the blue wire loom is OLD. Its been on for over 2 years now (it was there when I got the car, same with the car alarm horn). I just havent taken it off. Im going to relocate my battery, but where should I put it? I have a custom layout in my trunk, so theres no real room there. Is it too heavy/big to fit in the glove box? Or should I relocate my fusebox to the glovebox? But, once I do get more work done, I will post more pics.
