Be glad you dont own a subaru alex, have you seen the amount of vaccuum lines on the right side of the motor, once you start upgrading they look terrible. Your bay is pretty straight forward. Just because D shaves his bay doesnt mean hes that cool

If your motor looks like these, I'll give you $100

do us all a favor and completely shave your engine. at least then your "build thread" will have something to talk about.1400+ posts of next to nothing of any interest at all. does anyone else see the gross imbalance in thread length between this miata that lists brake pads and a boost guage as modifications, while a fully built show worthy acura tsx has under 100 posts?

If you don't like it, don't read it.

Sexy but too much for me. My favorite bay was the boosted integra shaved with chess-board paint under the hood. I posted it before.

I'll have some before and afters of stuff this weekend. Definately need to move the HID Ballasts and wires, change a few ugly vac lines with nice plain black ones, and tie it all together into bundles so it's not hanging loose.

Here it is

Do whatever ya want to it. It's your car. I personally think a tucked bay makes things 10x easier to work on. I can do my almost anything under the hood of my car in an hour including removing the engine just by moving things or deleting them. Just because it was engineered that way doesn't make it the only correct way. I did a Leak detection pump on a intrepid the other day that I can plainly see it front of me. But the mounting bolts where above the gas tank so I had to remove the tank. To me that is 1,000 hours of engineering "not" well spent. Same goes for many other makes and models I work on all day. Sure the EGR the EVAP systems serve a purpose. But moving them or taking them out does not make the car run any different w/ the exception of a CEL and not passing inspection if you're OBDII. I have removed my AC, PS, EVAP, EGR, AC fan,relocated the battery, removed the ATX harness, half of a motor mount. The list goes on. And the car runs no different then the day I got it. If not better. Do what you do right, and you'll have no problems.

Not unless you do something as god-awful as that checkerboard bay. Hide your wires or don't, it's your car and you can do what you want. I don't really see much point in it, so I wouldn't waste my time or money on such a project.

Seriously don't bother, too much hassle, don't fix something that's not broken. If you want engine bay bling, buy a rad panel or something. Polish some ish, etc.

lol lol

You tell me you are worried about modding your car and reducing the value of it because its a MS? Hackin' wires is sure gonna do you in the butt later.
