Tip's trick's & advice please
As title says I'm looking at sorting my engine bay out every time I look at it. She kinda puts me down.
so I am looking for advice and tips on what I can do away with out of the engine bay and what I can relocate and ways to neaten it up a bit thanks |

Powder coating some bits can make it more presentable

I bought the moretts with cold air feeds in both of headlights so didn't change them obviously I no there's no need for the offside one mate
Near side - Passenger/kerb ;) :thumb: Some heat management on the those pipes across the induction kit wouldn't go amiss. |
Anything else I can relocate or do away with to help?

I got rid of the abs on my 94 sti as just thought it was dangerous as would kick in when u least expect it sometimes. Everything went including the abs ecu underseat and tone rings etc. Replaced all the brake lines and run a bias valve that sits next to handbrake. Opens all the space up where pump is in engine bay and accumatively saves a lot of weight. Oh and after using it for a while the system works really well and much happier with how they perform now.
|
Just to add, I got the full abs delete kit from pro line on a group buy on here

Needs a full clean and polish which will take a couple of days hard graft
Plenty info on detailing world on how to clean well Then a bit of carbon dipping and hoses and a few bits to sort it Attachment 27848 Attachment 27849 |
