Just wanted some opinions on my wire tuck

[EF Honda EF]

no not dirty engine bays, but i dont have time to do a wire tuck, yes it looks good, but just something i dont do.

why not man. you build motors, why not build cars.

id rather spend time on something more beneficial... not saying it looks bad, just something i dont plan on doing.

time is nothing but just a concept. it doesn't really cost any money to do this. i dont see any reason not to want to do this. If you're going to build a car and put a roll cage in it, and buy stickers that say "16valve" then you are obviously looking for "the whole package." This helps the appearance part tremendously, and its free!

 

[Steven.]

no time is a factor for me.

plus i am to lazy to do it.
maybe thats the real reason.

i spent my time beneficial. i built my motor and built my car. But hey if it aint you, then it aint you. but when you pop your hood and you get the reactions we get, you would be happy. i wouldnt do it on a stright race car like yours with all that turbo shiz in the engine bay but it would make it that much nicer. and it is what seperates us from you

my crx wont be a stirght race car.
will be a semi daily driver. so it will be driven on the street.
but my 95 hatch will be DD

if i seriously had time and motivation to do a wire tuck i would do it.
its on the bottom of my list, so if i get to it, good if not, no big deal

they're very important on a 92-95 civic:

could look like this:

if you look at the shock towers and frame rails, you can see the biggest difference from those pictures, but in person you will see things that u dont even realize you're seeing.

like the clutch master cylinder area...

kyle look at your gsr swap hatch and my crx. i never realized how much stuff i tucked

 

[Steven.]

i dont do much for show. as you can CLEARLY see.

there is no need to argue this.
different people have different tastes, not just wire tucks, but everything, its life, people are different

i personally dont care much on how my cars look.

my CRX will look good.

my old 91 hatch, yeah i paied $450 for that and was messed up from the start.

im just saying you will get a lot more respect from people if you take the time to make your work look nice. and gives a lot more to talk about at meets.

Supporting both sides.....everyone has their own styles, some people like one style, others a different.

i can start off on a better platform.
i have already stared making the mounting points for my roll bar in the CRX, mocked the door bars up.
it will look great with the interior all back in, only need ot make about 4 visible cuts to interior panels

thats not my style. you should just rip the interior completely out and put some real thick, ugly welds on the roll cage. and dont paint over the welds either...let everyone see how ugly they are.

i'm just playing.

and btw, This is he best picture i've seen on this site:

i have better pics of my coupe also.....its too bad i never had a nice header on there though.

 

[kyle10182]

here's a picture of my old swap to compare with this pic:

I loved that car to death, but im so ashamed of that bay. Ya know, i remember when i would first bring that thing out and show people, i remember people saying "man thats a CLEAN swap....thats real nice."

 

[Steven.]

btw i am painting all the welds, so they do no form rust

iv esaid it before, the wire tucks do look good.

also, all the interior is going in the CRX, you wont see where the roll bar mounts

 

[kyle10182]

my motor looks better^^

thats the kind of stuff i associate with the ZC guys.

and thats what i think of when i think about a B-Series...

maybe i'm wrong, but it seems like the ZC and the B-Series guys do things completely different.
