You're so full of crap. Quit giving out uninformed tech info. Shaved wires are worth 32.6 hp, but only at 16psi at low altitude in the southern hemisphere!

How long are you guys going to dick around before you decide to contribute something useful?

There's nothing wrong with how the honda guys shave their bays, some of the cleanest I've seen were hondas and VWs. But they also have less b/s and smaller coolant tanks, etc.

^True, but what prevents us from being able to hide wires like they do?

Nothing, my point is just that no one here cares enough to do it. I was planning on doing it some after my rebuild. But one rebuild turned into another, etc, etc. lol. Here are some clean honda cars for example:

Nothing.
We just don't give a **** about some waste of time, teen racer, wire hiding bull****. We spend our time on performance and function.
If you're into that stuff, have at it. You won't find many on this board who are similarly enthused by purty engine bays and ricer carbon fiber, for it's own sake.
As for how long we post silliness before contributing something useful? When was this thread ever useful?

Your lucky Ehall is being quite polite today, he has a low tolerance for "BULL****"
