Want to clean up the engine bay alittle and hide the wiring. Need some ideas as to where i can run the wires in the engine bay without being seen.

I was thinking of running the main harness under the brake booster and down along the chassis rail to the front of the car? Then i need to figure out how to fix it there as i dont want to drill any hole in the rails???

Anyone have a better way of doing this?

yes, run it under the guard.

you will need to cut the harness and extend it (easy).
i bored a hole next to or above the accelarator pedal (??? i can take pic) and then run the cable along the lip of the inner guard. no more holes, you just use chassis clips, like the ones running over the radiator panel.
wires then loop under chassis rail and plug in next to radiator.

i then bored a hole on top of the tunnel for the heater wiper and engine wires to run through.

Yeah good advice from brett 32i, I did this on my LX hatch, you can use cable P clamps (they the ones with the rubber cover) these protect the loom better than chassis clamps. My opinion anyway, for what its worth! (normally worth about $50/hr but free to Tory owners!) cheers, Stuart
