    so i am beginning into a new project to clean up the wiring mess in my engine bay, along with changing out to a smaller civic half sized radiator and a few other surprises. im going to document the process as much as i can, pictures and labels, but right now im looking for any and all information i can get. i know someone on here has done some minor wire tucking if not a full tuck.

    heres a example of what im hoping the end result will look similar to. 4512143763_b1e892e0c3_b.jpg

    obviously im going to be doing things a bit differently. i plan on having the sc powder coated along with the timing cover and valve cover. the engine parts are going back to metallic gold. unsure of the sc color yet so opinions are welcome. also any ideas or opinions on how to do the tuck or what to use will be greatly appreciated.

    I personally am not a fan of full wire tucks.... I don't like an empty engine bay. I think the trick (for me) is to have the space look used and efficient, but clean. Helps make the engine look like it's one with the car, rather than just sitting in a shell.

    i can see that. im not planning on moving the fuse boxes, but just cleaning and tucking everything else up so its all nice and neat.

    Daniel, please post up some information and pics on how and where you tucked your wires and all.

    looks nice and clean but where did the fuse boxes go and what not? im more curious to see where they got moved. i like the look of the no power steering, but i cant do that. i need it so ill have to get a reservoir made and tucked up somewhere out of the way
