Ok so on with the new pix. As you can see the battery is in the trunk in a battery box, power wire is ran like an amp wire under the carpet and seats into the trunk and the ground is under the spare tire. The fuse box is under the glove box. As far as the wires and what not go you can see I covered as much of them in electrical tape as possible to get rid of all the color of each wire. I have to recover all of them again soone because the electrical tape i used sucked and was stiff so it didnt wrap the way i wanted it to, It is kinda loose as you see in the pix. The headlight wires are run under the frame and come out behind the housings to have as much wire hidden as possible. All of the harness was taped together and ran as low as possible to keep it hidden and only clumped together in a few minor spots to keep it from looking clutered. Everything done so far was done by hiding wires without cutting/extending anything except the battery wire obviously so it turned out pretty well so far. (more to come ) Please excuse the mess from the dirty and grime. Take your battery tray outand see how dirty it is under there lol, its a pain to get it all cleaned.

Fuse box


Battery box


Where battery and fuse box were


A large group of harness conections were here. Reran them under the brake booster


Where wiper resivor, p.s., c.c., a.c. lines and light harness was on driver side


Passenger side under air filter, you can see we wrapped as much as possible in electrical tape to protect and give stealth mode lol.


Overall product. Again I'm not done, want to move my fuel filter, cover my resivors with some type of Socks/cloth Sleeves (whatever you want to call them). Also may relocate my coolant resivor to the opposite side of the radiator and down about 6 inches to hide it behind the frame.


All feeback welcome as always.

 

Also if someone could resize these pix to be smaller that would be great, photobuck wont let me resize and save them for some reason.

 

what kind of header is that? don't normal ones just run straight down and not cross over?

 

Im not sure what kind it is. It was on the engine when I got it. Stock exhaust manifolds usually run straight down but almost all aftermarket headers that I see cross over one way or another.

So I had a semi productive weekend. I was tired of see a yellow valve cover so I finally painted it. It turned out pretty good but has a few small runs I need to sand and repaint and the paint was still soft when I picked it up so it smeared in one spot I also painted my air intake for kicks to see if it would look good. Im still undecided if I'm going to keep it painted this color, I may paint it black again.

I usually just paint them a solid color but I was feeling creative this time lol.




Overall view with it painted now. I like how the valve cover matches the bay now, its a more fluid clean look.

 

I like the intake painted that way. I like when people do stuff to the valve cover too. You should do the writing in a different color, might pop more. How does it feel going back to a D motor? Bet it feels slow as hell.

 

you should also paint your intake manifold i did mine on my old 91 hatch it came out really good. and sand/polish up the honda on your valve cover

pics kinda messed up for somereason but you see what i mean

 

I was going to do the lettering in black but i didnt think it would stand out well with the purple so i went with white. It sucks going to a d series but its only temporary

I am going to take my intake off and degrease it and sand/polish it to try to clean it up real nice and if that doesnt work then im going to paint it a gray/silver to look fresh. If it turns out the way i want and looks nice im going to do the same to the block and tranny.
