For a start its running carbs so thats the whole engine loom dispensed with, then the small amount of wires left can be hidden in the inner wing and in other nooks and crannies :)

not too hard i'd say, seeing as you run stand alone. Both front wings would need removing though, and you'd have to extend the car loom for the lights. The eng loom could go straight through the bulkhead if done carefully.

or you can cheat like on mine.......... extend the wiring ad use braiding, and clip it into the wings like so: I think it's the neatest looming i've ever seen in an xe running sfi. Cheers France!

looks nice my GSi engine bay is a mess, in think there might still be wiring left in it from the 1.2.
