looking for opinions (good or bad)

i plasti dipped the plastics where the battery cover and fluid cover are red. i gave it about 3 hands in about 25 mins so yes its ugly and whatnot but looks good in the pic and it was all to just get an idea of what it would look like. i passed by my friends shop who paints and he liked the way it looked so he told me to buy the cars paint and he'll do them for me (for free) i ended up removing the plasti dip from one of the sides just to get a better comparison of the two.

Which reservoirs are you using? Also you deleted the windshield reservoir? Is it just a matter of disconnecting the wiring/tubing?

those look like sxexcx reservoirs. yes, to get rid of the windshield reservoir just disconnect the wiring and tubing (you should plug or cap off the lines going to the wipers if you're not gonna remove those entirely). the actual reservoir is a little tougher to get to, but not hard to remove once you get access.

My engine bay is pretty much done at this point, other than cleaning some crap up. I recently added a Final Flag strut bar and an ARC cooling panel.

For the guys that fully tucked the motor harness and got rid of the large group of wires that goes from the battery compartment into the engine bay, where did you run the harness through the firewall instead?

I'm doing a full tuck on mine and have the motor harness separated into 3 runs now. I've got one harness for the lower motor stuff and trans, that one is done already, now I have one for the left side of the motor and one for the right side.

Hate to ask this question, but for the guys with all the polished engine bays, is degreaser safe for those part or do you need to cover it all up if you use degreaser at all?

Is this hose needed from the plenum to the battery compartment. I see a lot of guys here are not running it and is there any negative effects on performance???

That's the brake booster vacuum line. The only downside from removing it is you'll have no (or very crappy) brakes

Being serious now, folks don't eliminate that line, they just relocate it to the rear of the plenum or tap vacuum from another source. Don't just get rid of it. Also, there's a check valve in that line that you'll need to retain or replace in your new setup.

If you have the cosworth plenum then that line is easy to tuck. It gets relocated to under the goose neck part. Drill a hole in the false fireway and route to the brake booster.

Length should not be an issue. When i did mine, i researched the JDM engine compartment and saw that they go direct to the brake booster. The long metal pipe is not used.

Have fun removing the metal pipe.
