Engine bay shave?

[jonridinhi]

I plan on routing mine up high possibly behind the fender or firewall. You can loop it but hight recomended against by me. Best advice i can give you is look around on your car for a hiding spot and then take the size space you have down and go to the Junk yard and shop around. Just rember to the more you hide it the harder it will be to check and fill.

where is everyone putting the fuse box?

it fits in the fender where a CAI filter would go, but i'm concerened about water getting in there.

has anyone put it inside the cabin? any ideas on where it'll fit? It'll make changing fuses alot easier if necessary.

hmmmm i might try some wire tucking/shaving since my engine is already out

cuz i really hate those loom things, they are so freakin ugly and never look clean

woooowwwww lol
you sir have some balls, im assuming this isnt your dail driver?

also before you finish make sure to bondo/weld the excess holes shut and paint body color
looks so much cleaner without random ass holes everywhere

I drive it daily, just not during the winter, it's a little too rust prone for canadian salt.

started tucking the wires into the cabin for the fuse box.



this is the main engine harness that went to the fuse box. 5 left to run

fender harness for accs.

acc wire harness seperated from wires that run to the fuse box.

labels/ stay organized

soo many wires.

i think my brake booster / master cyclinder is leaking.

Sweet job man and damn good idea bout labeling the wires before cutting them! I know thats obvious but I have heard of people not doing such a thing and try doing it 1 by 1.

that would be a nightmare.

So last night i had pulled in all but 5 wires into the cabin.
one by one and after they were in the car, i made sure i coiled them up and taped them to keep them organized
today looking at the way i've run the wiring makes me want to redo it cus it's still super visible.
i want to run it along the fire wall rather than the frame. so it's all coming back out and then back in..

dammit.
