according to google it's routing the wires and cables in the engine bay in such a way that they can't be seen.
nope. never done it.

its kinda funny somebody had to google this lol. I'm sure its been done before, nobody just posted up or anything. and its usually done with show cars going for a real real clean look, and cars in the early 90's that have alot of wires hanging around. alot of civic guys do this after they do the motor swap. it does make the car look clean but its alot of work.

Import tuner had 2 articles and a step by step how to do it. a year or so back. unfortanutly they used a civic, so we can only get "ideas" from the article, we cant do it step by step like they did it.

Not sure I've ever seen it on the RA but I know there are regular Lancers that have done it.

Actually, I think I have seen it on an RA, but I can't remember the user. It was the guy with the white RA show car on bags.

Ok i wanted to know because I have started the process of tucking mine and it is a ton of work but i think the end product will be worth it. I just want to see if any one who had done had any tips. I have a pic of an evo that did one of the best tucks that i have seen. i will try and make my tuck look as clean as his does but we will see how it comes out.

here's that evo's tuck

WOW that is nice i like that alot. yea thats the type of stuff youu see in magazines. bassically a stripped down race car. a motor, turbo, and tranny, and a driver seat lol. that looks clean. If your doing it, post up pics, step by step pics if you can. all the tips you can do. maybe get a sticky on it

good luck man.

I'm not good with posting pics but i could give some tips after i figure how to do it and see what it looks like after it's done. So far i have committed to taking out the ac and the power steering and at the moment have pulled the harness completely out of the engine bay. just trying to find the best way to run the wires where they are the least visible and how to tuck the fuse box under the dash.

Hey guys. That's my car

I've binned all stock electrical system and installed a complete MoTeC system, M880, CDI8, SDL, SLM, custom loom and so on.
If you are thinking about doing this with the stock loom you are in for some serious work, just to move the fuse box will be a pita!

You can find more info about my car here http://zevo.se or in the current issue of Modified Magazine.

Btw, the car is up for sale (look in the sales section).

ZyBeR where did you put the master cylinder and do you have any pics from the top looking into the engine bay like a birds eye view of the engine bay?

ZyBeR · Oct 10, 2009, 03:43 PM

If you click around here http://www.garaget.org/zyber you will find some pictures that might be of help.

I'm using an AP pedalbox.

zboy's_lancer · Oct 15, 2009, 05:24 PM

i was wondering if anybody has any tips on how to take the dash out because I'm going to try and take it out tomorrow so that way i can have more room to mount the fuse box.
