[z3r0]

Remove the crappy wrap and electrical tape from your wiring and shrink wrap the sh*t out of it.

YES. ^^^

One of the nicest mods I did to mine, was removing the Throttle body, and running the wire loom under it, after using some expensive as **** 3M electrical tape and heatshrink, made a WORLD of difference.

You'd also be amazed how easily you can do a minor wire tuck on the car, just start hiding wires.

Just rewire your car and relocate everything to the dash...

Someone needs to seriously do a wire tuck on one of these cars. IM talking get rid or all the loom and tape and shrink wrap it like the others were talking then take the fenders off and run as much as you can through the fenders to hide it and also some of the vaccuume lines could be hid inside the wiper cowl if you felt like running new vac lines. This is seriously one of the things I evny the damn honda crowd for!

Also getting rid of all the metal brackets all over the place does a lot. I just put an engine in my 98 and I left off the alt brack and left some of the metal brackets off also. I still have the lift brackets tho. Should get rid of them soon too.

that would be something i would love to do to mine is a wire tuck. Some of the nicest engine bays in the world are tucked. My civic was a b**** to do though

Tell me about it hence why im looking for a coupe on the cheap. Doesnt even have to run I got engine and trans parts lol.

XD, I did a pretty bang up wire tuck on mine. Engine bay wasnt shaved, but you couldnt see any wires/loom at all...then it blew up.
