As soon as I do this, I'll try and keep a list of good places to hide or relocate each wire.
Anyone who does this should keep a list like that too smile.gif

one of the big problems i see is resistance problems if you lengthen too much. just try to keep important wires as short as possible.
hell, cutting all the loom apart you might find enough slack in the wires to extend them enough without needing new wires. definately take some snap shots along the wya.

Wow, that first one looks horrible but the others look schweet. Maybe it's all the "Mounting" holes in the first one that just glare out?
Go for it, I'd like to see how it turns out.

Yeah the holes do look bad... Ive seen some where they have actually welded over the holes and just made the hole bay smooth. ( http://www.skafia.com/myPix/-Rodrez--707312803.jpg or http://img275.imageshack.us/img275/7...ginebay4ic.jpg )
Im actually going to do a little each day after work.. but as soon as I make some noticable progress, I will post up some pics smile.gif

I actually like the first one, minus all those holes it reminds me of an old muscle car, like one of the ones from the 50's or 60 when you open the hood and the only thing you see is engine.
btw, whats up with that first car anyways, looks like alot of just removing too like the absence of a radiator.

Ok guys, I put about an hour and a half on mine today. Only got a few tucked. This is VERY time consuming! You have to cut through the harness(watch out, I cut one wire in half allready) and take out individual wires out, untangle them, group them with other wires going to around the same place. Then zip tie them together, then hide them by zip tieing them to somthing else, then run the wire up a little crevace and re-connect it. Im going to be putting a hour or so on it everyday. But I recomend just making a full day out of this shit. I might have to re-do some of mine.
What ive done so far:
- Re-routed a few coolant lines
- Re-routed battery cables/misc cables in the area
Planned for tomorrow:
- Hide all the little wires what are on top of the fuel rain what connect into the injectors below the fuel rail
Just though I would share the progress so far, I would post pics but its barelly noticable right so far.
But yeah, its not hard, just time consuming and frustrating. lol
