Mini-L320 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 They box in all the cables along the sides near the wheel wells. and on the Firewall they just put them inside the cab instead of in the engine bay. Deffinately alots of Works Yo! :D But clean ass Hell. ANd if you wondering where the battery is <_< they just mount it on the rear(trunk) Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Get a MK1. And start tucking. I basically don't know besides tucking everything and running looms through the fenders. 1 Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 so it seems the question can be broken down into 2. 1. Do you have the know how and skills to do the fab yourself? 2. Since your asking, probably not, so do you have the money to pay someone to do it? doesn't look cheap Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Clean engine bays are nice but that's a bit far. I like that fact that if something goes wrong with mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic it's easily accessed. I can only imagine working on that car. Quote Link to comment

I knew about relocating the battery to the trunk but I know that causes a concern to some people(my gf) given that theres a fuel tank back there. so it seems the question can be broken down into 2. 1. Do you have the know how and skills to do the fab yourself? 2. Since your asking, probably not, so do you have the money to pay someone to do it? doesn't look cheap No, your right i dont have the know how and is exactly why i am asking, but yes i do have the money and know someone that can do the work.

DatDoug Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Whoa! Simma down now PtownGreen. Hes not showing attitude. Even if he was there is no need for name calling. As for the "shaved" engine bay, there are a few peeps on here that have done this. Frank & his crew up in Everett do this to there dimes. Take a look @ "Thrillen Dillons" Build. Personally I like the look of the wires & Hardlines. Quote Link to comment

Well I wanted the answer too and when I saw that I just assumed there was no way this thread was gonna useful. So kinda just pissed me off Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 It looks cool, but remember what Icehouse said. That things gotta be a PITA to work on. Chances are it's not driven much though. I have a friend shaving the engine bay of his Z32. Haven't seen it yet, but it's supposed to be like that. Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 You will have to run reverse pedal set up with the masters inside the car, alot of people that run cages do this. You will need to shave battery tray, wipers, master and clutch holes. you will need to tuck all the wiring. It can be done though its alot of work. There is a mod on the realm on how to run wiper motor behind the glove box Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 One of the tricks is to run the engine wiring along the side of the block and into a hole behind the engines firewall. All other wires are hidden in the frame rails, fenderwells and in some cases, fake double walls. It can be done, but, once you commit, you have to go all the way! Quote Link to comment
deadmonkey Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Also, if I'm not mistaken the intake looks like GSXR (probably 1000 or 1300cc) either carbs or throttlebody fuel injection with pods. Quote Link to comment

Yeah those look exactly to what I had running on my 210, which were Keihin CVK40's. Looks badass on it :D Quote Link to comment
