It is the opposite of cleaned up. And its only going to get worse when I get my 2nd alternator in.

I like Kamotors, he is a nice guy, but the car gains quite a bit of performance without that filter on it. I am going with an ITG filter + heatshield when I get my megasquirt setup.

Not too crazy. Is that a KaMotors intake? I have one. My screws fell out and rusted so I had to swap them for stainless hardware.

My engine bay. No work of art, but no hidden wires to dick around with. I dig it.

simplified? You're high. Tucking and shaving a bay is a pain in the asshole. have fun stretching your wires! That is the worst.

None of mine need to be extended. lol The biggest pain is removing the seam sealer for me. The rest is simple. Simplified my friend. No extra hoses, wires, or tanks in my way=)

I like a cleaned up bay, not tucked, shaved all you see is block, and nothing else. it just looks like you're trying to hard.

I'm not doing it for anyone but myself=) lol Unused bracket and holes, knots of wires and hoses. That is all nasty looking clutter to me.

Looks like shit. have fun wrenching on it, won't wanna chip your mint ass engine bay. It just looks too empty. And when shit goes wrong, it goes really wrong.

Won't be a problem for me. Nothing I'm tucking is hard to get at. The harness you never need to touch=) Plus use fender mats and magnetic trays to work on your car=P

Edit: Less is more Brian. Remember that

Go to a JDM fucking car meet. all you see is the motor. I believe a cleaned up bay looks nice, but a completely tucked and shaved bay looks empty and stupid.

Looks good to me=) I would have welded the holes shut on the radiator support though=P

Too much of a shaved bay is a bad thing.

Yessir, wanna see a cleaned up bay?

He is tucking this more. He is never satisfied. Did you see the work that went into making that intake manifold symmetrical? That's the guy TJ bought his Hamanns from.

Amazing! I need to see a wire-tucked car in person so I can see what kind of cluster it is where all the electrical is stowed

Looks like shit. And if you have any problem with something that's tucked, have fun pulling your hair out trying to fix it. Especially electrical. Stretching out wiring harnesses is a pain in the ass.
