help with hiding engine wires....wire tucking???

i was wondering if anyone could point me in a good direction or even better-give me some good advice on tucking and hiding wires in the engine bay?? i have a KAde and with my powdercoated and rattle can painted parts-looks awesome, but i want it to look a whole helluva lot cleaner by cleaning up the wires. I saw in the back of one of the Project Car mags(back section-readers rides)-some dude had a red s13 w/ SR and what not but he had all of his engine wires tuked and hidden as well as a shaved firewall.....that shyt was CLEAN!!!!!!!! any info on this would be greatly appriciated. Thanx a ton guys

Maybe try to dress the wire harness up instead of hiding it. They sell a heat wrap that you can put on the harness that makes it look alot cleaner.

Me too with this! I did get some of that black harness wrap and it does help but I still have wires that just should do and not be seen. What issue of Project Car did you see that in, I thought I caught them all?

well, i was goofin off and checking out zilvia .net and found a whole thread just for this. You can find it in the General-tech talk section for s-chassis. one dude did it to his SR and it is nasty, but the thread starter did it to a KADE and man-do i give him props on makin that engine look that much better. Jus thought id let you guys know bout it. Now i have an idea about it-gona plan a day to start it.



Positron......also found out, the project car issue i was talkin about that has the SR s13 w/ tucked wires.........it wasnt the drift s13 budget build, rather it was the mag with the Nissan vs Honda faceoff. my fault for providing faulty info. later dudes
