Notice I didn't tuck the engine harness at all (don't want to cut into it), but the engine bay is MUCH cleaner.

As my infamous chinese neighbor always says "All rook same".

Honestly I don't have many good pictures of the before.

The engine is the same (for the most part), but the major change is the removal of power steering (like it better that way) and A/C (didn't work), plus the tuck of the headlight harnesses and removal/relocation of the coolant overflow tank.

Also was the removal of all the emissions related items, although those were removed before the second before picture, but slightly visible in the first picture to the right of the engine.

Here is a stock (except for the horns and intake) engine bay:

I dont really care as much about the tuck as I like your over the rad i/c setup. so fucking clean/nice. this is the 3rd one I see like that on an nb and its so damn nice.

please dont hate me for this as I'm not trying to threadjack, but can you shed any more light on how easy/hard that was to do? did u have to cut the hood at all? any pics of the brackets u made for the rad? anything will help, and if u wanna pm it to me thats cool . ..sorry to threadjack

curly 12-12-2008 08:40 PM

That might be a trackdog racing setup...

18psi 12-12-2008 08:46 PM

maybe, but the tdr setup has a plate and looks a bit different.

Nagase 08-21-2009 08:27 AM

What do you need to do to eliminate the overflow tank?

Faeflora 08-21-2009 10:06 AM

That's not a wiretuck. That's a "let's make acid rain" enhancement.

You cant eliminate it. He just moved it.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

mike_671 08-21-2009 10:47 PM

im not actually bothered by this bump. Its a nice engine bay shot

NA6C-Guy 08-22-2009 05:42 AM

Even if I STILL don't see a damn thing different. I do see one orange and blue connector under the t/b, but thats honestly all I see "tucked"...
