  • Wire Tucked Festiva?

    Has anyone ever thought of doing a Wire Tuck on a Festiva? I think it would look awesome but I don't have the skill/money/patience to even try.

    Something Like This?

      Zephthechef and I decided yesterday that my car will probably be drive by wire throttle. Which would eliminate the throttle cable, and give traction control.

          You can make big improvements pretty easily. Not a full tuck, but it can look much nicer with just a little work. There are also brackets on there that you don't need, esp. over near the disty. And the disty wires can be routed differently for a cleaner appearance. Just look around and see what needs to be where it is, and what can be moved a little.

              I think there are a couple cars that have been tucked. I've built 2 harnesses for my cars that weren't tucked, but I tidied up the wiring a lot from stock.


              B6t with hidden knock box and custom harness that excluded all non necessary wires.


              B6d capri management. Custom harness that only has the essential wires in it.

                Such a good look in any engine bay, awesome builds.

                I was thinking about this just a couple of days ago, seems as though most of the examples I could find were hondas, mainly civics. Would be good to see a bunch of tucked festivas next to each other

                  Those do look good. Super Clean Advance!

                  Now that I think about it the guy that had the Festiva with the Harley Motor in it didn't have many wires in it lol.

                  One day in the distant future when I pull my Engine out maybe I will take the time to clean up the mess of oily wires that I have running all over the place, put some new split looms in or something.

                    I have thought about trying to relocate my battery and fuses etc into the passenger side of the dash. By removing the dash and making some mods. I wanted to create a surface big enough for a battery and fuse wiring. And remove the AC thing thats on the very left in the aspire dash...

                    Im kinda saving that task for when i eventually get a bigger engine. So i can do all the wiring in one hit. But i will at some stage try and mock up how i would like my dash layout

                              And that's a crappy picture taken before it was all redone and improved. Mike keeps all the good pictures to himself. Lol
