+1 I'm now thinking about getting a super charger... but that's just a thought.. I'll definitetly be gettin air suspension before anything though.

 

Air suspension is duckets, those are 2 large investments. You'll have to be rolling pretty hard to pull off a combination of Engine bay, Air, and SC. I'm trying to keep engine bay just tidy, and maintain it's function>form status. It already looks ok, just not super-specacular like some dudes be on here, madness!

I'm spending my money on interior work before I touch engine stuff to any extent. Put the money somewhere you'll use it, IMO. I'll eventually tidy it up, polish the SC, get a Kinetix SSV, etc. For now just keeping the cover on.

If I had a 350Z I'd be all over the engine bay, because ugly from factory.

 

Notice how the main harness goes around the front, over the timing cover. I just removed all the zip tied spots and basically flipped it over so that it wraps around the backside behind the plenum. lol. If you just do that, it takes like 5 minutes. I just figured since i was there, I'd cut up the plastic shroud and reroute some of the stuff individually. I still didn't complete it all though. You can see on the passenger side of mine, some wiring that I didn't tuck because I ran out of time and had to use my car. But it's still very simple.

If you can afford to have the down time on your car (not long at all), it's an interesting thing to do yourself.

 

As for the side harnesses, for the passenger side, there's a hole by the battery section that routes it beneath the fender. For the driver side, I drilled a hole in the strut tower part which is covered by a RHD batt cover. This is where the DIY told me to drill it. I believe the thread was made by kennymo, but it only covered the sides. The rest I had to figure out as I went. But the fact that my dumbazz was able to do it regardless should show how easy it is.

 

well, ill be getting my trunk and polished tanks then wont be buying anything until after winter season is over (well thats the plan).... and i would be getting bags sooner but i will be going on a cruise in november. the bags are most definitely going to happen really just a matter of time... just thinking about SC for now, but i want to see how every thing turns out with all of these bling parts then ill move on after that.... i mean its A LOT easier when you have a good connect with parts which i have!!! *ehm* not saying no names... lol... as of now im still finding time to adjust my stance.. then hopefully my brother pulls through and help me install my timing cover and the rest of my parts this week end... next year ill concentrate on my interior work still yet to research it hahaha.. not doing anything crazy like bride seats or anything.... well at least i dont think i am..

nice explanation!! i will keep that in mind when i do a little bit of cleaning up, but i will have one of my homies that know how to do tucks around just in case... lol as you can tell im pretty cautious and very thorough with everything i do to my car... its no honda thats cheaper to fix if you know what i mean..... lol. i have an 04 and still all the parts are super expensive! and i will check that DYI out when im close to doing it... thanks again for sharing you knowledge and experience!

 

sick

^ you aint cool till you got these.

 

lmao. my girl says shes gonna put em on her Si.

do it and post it! hahah.... start a prank thread.

 

we should have a prank thread.

i don't even do them much but my best one, if it even was a prank was when my friend called me up and said he needed a ride. he was at a super busy bus stop in the city, with probably 100+ students from the nearby college waiting nearby. so of course, i accept his request. i roll up in my beater (my g cant make it to the city lol), windows down, blasting carly rae jepsens Call Me Maybe on max volume. I kid you not, you could hear it from far away. he even said he was wondering for like 10 seconds which idiot was playing it before i finally showed up. I made sure to stop right in the damn middle of the bus stop and told him to get in. he shook his head in a "aww *** my life" look and got in. tons of people were laughing their azz off, and a couple people even started singing along.

also, my friend isn't some scrawny little guy. he's a pretty husky dude with a beard and some tattoos. so you can picture that getting in a junker playing call me maybe. ultimate trollololo

i hope he wont do the same lol, so now i avoid asking for rides.

 

weak sauce!! forreal i use to do stuff like that when i was younger.... funny stuff..

 

LOL

And

 

nice!!!
