Default Engine bay photos...

Cleaned up my engine bay a little. Added a Metco breather, painted my dipstick, and aluminum plate to cover that gap on the intake manifold. I am making covers and caps for everything in my engine bay very soon. Let me know what you think

Thanks. Yeah, I don't have my PCV system so I have a breather on both valve covers. The one one the front just screws into where the oil cap goes.

I know... I just don't like the idea of cutting and extending all the wires. If I ever sold it, don't think that would be good!

Are you serious. All the write up's I've ever read say you need to extend the wires like 11 inches. I'll definitely do it if you don't have to do any cutting of the wires!

what did u do for the EVAP? doesn't look relocated, jsut gone.

!wire and !hood cable for sure, and adjust ur ASR wiring to below the solenoid.
also, simple things like polishing the IAC make the difference. lookin great. what color is ur intake mani?

and the !wire mod doesn;t have to cut any wires. the only cutting is a small 1 3/4(i think, don;t quote me on that) hole that u won;t even notice. look in the sticky.

take your time in routing the wires just right. and instead of just cutting a big round hole. take your time in making an oval or square and then the harnesses slide right in. as you can see time pays off. my car is no show car but i will not rush it to find myself doing it again because i wanted to see it done.

The EVAP is gone lol

Damn, you guys need to tell me how to do these things! With the hood cable where do you relocate it to? Same with the ASR wiring, how do you move it? Thanks

for the !wire and !hood cable, its all in the sticky(that nobody reads apparently)

for the asr, simply unclip the holder on the ASR and flip it(or break it off and just let it hang) so the wiring goes under the ASR. u won't really notice this till u do the !wire tho

No cutting or extending of wires at all. Just cut a hole with a 1 3/4" hole saw bit and you re-route the wires through the hole.
