that does look good. if i was going to do a wire tuck, i'd have to go all out, fill every hole, smooth out the rad support, paint the complete bay. but that does look alot cleaner.

Firewall and in between the engine bay and side fenders. Can you imagine an ins. adjusters face if you ever get into a front end collision that you have to claim.



That is a lot of man hours to be slicing wires and would be a bitch if you had a "electronic gremin" to deal with.

the biggest difference is because he took out the abs. Those are a lot of damn lines.


Looks good though. I like

It's just the next stage of the whole Honda/Acura scene. Look at where the VW scene is in the US, it's all about being clean and tucked.

I think it's cool how the car enthusiasts and scene are evolving.

But, my opinion is a bit biased

Yeah, I'm trying haha... but as the engine goes in, more and more crap gets in the way!

It helps though, that I have no PS, Cruise, ABS, or AC... my engine bay looked so empty already.

^----, if i had a car like that i would shave all the holes and paint everything before the motor went in, it's so much easier when the motor is out of the car.

I was honestly thinking of it, but my timeline just didn't allow for that kind of work. Plus, with the rate at which I change cars... it just wouldn't make sense haha

maybe his abs doesn't work. take it out, save weight. mines been busted for years and i'll take it out eventually, but i'm lazy. if i scored a set of oem hid housings, i'd pull it out right now.

when you say vw, are you referring to newer vws front engined or air cooled beetles? i think it has more to do with domestic resto-rods. from the shaving, tucking, spacers under the hoods, simple and clean. it would be pretty cool to see a honda all clean, tucked and simple at a primarily domestic show like speedorama someday instead of your traditional stereotypical honda with the big rims, bodykit and grapefruit shooter exhaust.

honda>vw.

Yeah, the beetles but even the front engined newer dubs... take a look at the cars who go to Waterfest, they're all about cleanliness.

And what's with all this k talk?? haha
