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

Think I'll put the right hand lamp back in and do away with the air feed

I can relocate the fpr gauge so that wouldn't be a problem

I'm more of a wrinkle black guy, I always go with an OEM look to any modified part. Less is more

A smattering of braided hose always looks nice I think.

Offside - Drivers
Near side - Passenger/kerb

;) :thumb:

Some heat management on the those pipes across the induction kit wouldn't go amiss.

96sti 16 December 2016 10:09 PM

Anything else I can relocate or do away with to help?

jody0702 16 December 2016 11:39 PM

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.

jody0702 16 December 2016 11:43 PM

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
