fastbird232 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Who's got the nicest ones? Not just clean as in no dirt, I mean like wires tucked away and not as visible as stock, things like that. Pics help. Personally all I've really done is tuck the cruise cable and a couple others under a coolant hose, and shortened up the main brake booster vacuum line so it doesn't stick up as much.

Guest Anonymous Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 mine looks like crap under the hood so count me out. But someone here with a blue 92 GP and an 89 GP have nice ones, i forget who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossman429 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Mine aren't very tidy, but pretty clean. At least at time of pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegp Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Who's got the nicest ones? I don't know if he comes around here anymore, but Gearhead Dave's is pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Dave's engine bay (and entire car) was spotless pre-TGP-ification, but i havent seen pics of it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Mine is very average. I wipe off some of the parts sometimes but I've never washed it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 i am a chicken shit with all the electrical under the hood, i am almost afraid to wash it... with my old regal i just hit the whole engine bay with some degreaser let it sit for a bit and then hosed it down... let it sit for a bit pulled the distributor cap and wd40'd it blew it out with an airgun and put it back never had a problem... but my monte scares me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToroToro Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 It's not that big of a deal; plastic bag over the alt and coil packs and spray away.... I'm pretty obsessive about this myself. Yesterday I washed it for the 3rd time this summer. Damn dust! Wiring isn't run the cleanest though. Cheap Autolite "Pro-fit" wires are WAYYY too long.

mfewtrail Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 My 90 TGP(73K.....this is an older pic, but it sill looks exactly the same.) My 93 SE(244K on it... Another shot of the 93..... I may update these with new pictures if the thread is still around in a few days. EDIT: By the way, I don't think anyone has done much in the way of wire hiding/relocation here for "looks." I wouldn't bother with wire hiding unless I showed my car off a lot at carshows...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Moff Joseph Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Here she is after her first real cleaning: I still need to work on the wiring for the remote fog lights (right side of pic near battery) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I need to do that again. Then, hit the bay with some tire spray on the plastic parts for that high gloss shine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbird232 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'd put my money where my mouth is, but all my motor pics are on my Windows-fucked desktop. I'd like to see some LQ1s, if there are any out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a lot of sanding to get it smooth, then I wet sanded with finer and finer grit paper (up to 2000). Buffing with aluminum polish brought out the shine.
