      I plan on cleaning up my bay a bit for my swap. Since its a carbureted car, I think it'll clean up nicely.

        Lucifer will get a wire harness from carlos. Aside from that i wont do much to the wiring on that one. I will clean up the wiring on my build tho. Thats a long way off tho.

            I really want to clean up under the hood. I really like a very clean look. Comparing cars that I see at car shows I have seen simpler carbureted engines that have a really good tuck. However with the amount of wires, vacuum lines, and other things under the hood I cannot see how to significantly make a huge impact on the Festiva. If people have pictures of their cleaned up under hood stock Festiva that would really be appreciated

              Looking at mine, it looks like there is a lot of Wires and Connectors that aren't even being used. If only there was an easy way to remove them/hide them without having to take apart the entire loom or cutting them off completely.

                I did a partial wire tuck on the V6 festiva, I loved how much room there was to work with despite having a V6 in that thing lol

                If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                          I've got the same battery as William.

                            The battery on the left is the one I used. It's originally spec'd for a Mazda MX-5/Miata


                            ...and here's how I mounted it

                              I have trimmed some vaccume lines making them two inches shorter here or there. I am looking for (and please anyone tell me where) a spark plug wire re-tipping crimping tool that when I crimp the ends of a spark plug wire tip it curls the folding ends together to clamp into the wire. I want to measure, cut, retip my spark plug wires and put plastic spacers to hold them aligned. - - -I'm amazed that the engine is so small that we can use a jet ski battery! How many cold cranking amps is needed? I see it's duralast and I'll look at Autozone

                              What else have people done to clean up under the hood with a factory Festiva engine bay???

                                Lawn & Garden battery works awesome, Me and some friends of mine have been using them for a good looooong while w/o any problems no matter what temp it is outside. Also the fact that they are only like $25 dollars at walmart.
                                hot on left, cold on right, and 5h17 don't flow uphill!?!?!?
