Truth be told the bay was shaved by the body shop while I was in Afghanistan and it was somewhat of a miscommunication by the time I got back it was just a little to late to change it[/quote]

In my quest to lighten my car, I feel like I've ended up with a pretty empty engine bay. No where near the level of you guys, especially since most of you had turbo stuff and more electronics to hide.....but look at all this room for activities!:

Not bad now time to lose the battery and fuse box
| RavensFan7 | 12-11-2013 04:33 PM |
I'd like to move the fuse box somewhere, as water gets in during heavy rain....but I think I'm gonna keep the battery in the engine bay. Trunk isn't an option, and I don't like that much amperage just "chillin" under a seat.
I'm considering sacrificing the glovebox but fitment would be tight. At this point I'm set on a Shorai lithium battery in the stock location. With those two things gone the engine bay would be pretty empty though...

Hey guys --- I love this thread, first time I've been here (to post, vs lurk) post on clean bays:
3) Where are you running the wiring for fuse box relocations/battery relocation? 4) Are you doing custom jobs or are there kits out there that are decent for this? I've spotted the kits on summit w/ battery boxes.... but they don't look so cleanly installed in the trunk.
I've noticed several Strut bars - 5) does anyone know of 'replacement decals' ? I've got an older CF STi Strut bar but the damn decal got messed up - little thing that is irritating the hell out of me.
Aside from a DIY job.... Ballparking (without the nice add ons like the IAG radiator bits, or AN lines etc...... 6) A reasonable budget for materials would be in the range of...what $X - $X? Going full shaved/tucked ---- $2500?

It's all diy stuff for fusebox and battery. The battery just order some 0g wiring online, a distribution box and buy whatever battery box u want. Mine ran around $50 for everything. For the fuse box it's just extending and putting it where u want. And the price varies man. Im in mine probably about that with doing everything myself. If u want good kits for abs delete and PS check out ChaseBays. That's what im running for everything

Also shaved the mold lines off my spare intake manifold in preparation for powder coat.

When drilling out the battery mounting tray, what products are you guys using to fill and sand down all the excess?

So anyone relocate the fuse box under the fender and relocate the battery to trunk.
What did y'all do wiring wise to the battery, longer cable, 0g recommended? And how'd you get it hooked back up working.

Recoil, another thing you should do is shave the inlet mount and various others such as the grounds and those that hold the crank case breather brackets. I recently did that to mine and it looks much nicer once coated.

That looks really clean. Where did you move your grounds to? I have composite TGVs so I have to run more grounds than usual due to loss of conductivity.

I honestly found a little bit of rust under my battery tray - I ended up cutting out all the metal and just replacing it with sheet metal I bought from Lowes. After putting that in, I have seen people use bondo or fiberglass followed by putty to make everything nice and smooth before paint. I used bondo to smooth things out and I think it's about 80% good.. plan to do fiberglass and putty in the future.

I went a little overboard... I used the Jegs setup from Summit Racing and added a distribution box in the engine bay and in-line breaker near the battery. The Jegs setup comes with 0 gauge wire.

I think the next big I'm going to do is flip the ABS upside down and mount it underneath where it goes in stock location. I'll run the hardlines along the inside of the fender and into the wiper cowl.

Great, glad I'm not out of my mind on the idea, my concern is whether or not I can bleed it while it's oriented other than the OEM positioning. One way to find out I guess..

This car is a daily with child seats and all. I don't want to move the battery because NHRA rules require an external cutoff switch and I drag this car.
I deleted the ABS, routed the lines through the firewall, and moved the fuse box. Never really intended to do a real shave or tuck, but it has cleaned up a lot.

You can delete it, but I wouldn't if you have a water cooled turbo. It's a lot harder to get all of the air out of the system without it.

I wish the KillerB header tank was less expensive. Works great for rotated setups but would you really pay the same amount for that as a the Forge Motorsports setup?

[quote="EvileyeZ88;41261646"] Killer Bee just came out with a slick new header tank, might give that a look see. [URL="http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2448212"]http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2448212[/URL] ~Evil[/quote]
I like the killer b unit but actually found one for $40 brand new!
Starting to tuck this bay this is a lot more work then I wanted to do! Lol

I ended up getting a fabricated one for less than half the price of either the Forge or the header tank.

So how are you guys disassembling your alternators to have them painted/powder coated? I tried taking mine apart, I got the pulley off the front but couldn't get the four Phillips head bolts off the back without detroying the heads. The alternator itself is about 20 years (one that came with the car). Would I have better luck buying a brand new one and trying to disassemble?

I used an impact driver on mine, bolts came out no problem.

I have a guy in Chicago that rebuilds alternators for a living! If you pm me what alternator you have I can see if he has a one for you. He also powder coats

This!
I have no power steering system on my daily driver Impreza....go start tearing stuff out! :lol:

:D I daily drove a 69 Beetle throughout high school and a few years afterwards, so believe me when I say I'm okay with having no creature comforts :lol: That being said, my WRX being my daily is only part of my excuse. I've got an FC RX7 that will hopefully be 5.0 swapped by the end of this year and it's taking up all my time and money!
I still do admire all the guys in here that daily their cars while getting so much work done on them!

I will say I think your dump tube through the hood is quite possibly the biggest fanboi mod in the scene. I just can't understand the reason to say "hey hey all Leo's in the area my car is super illegal come take a look!"

Guess what opinions are allowed, I can leave mine and he can get bent out of shape or move on, apparently you don't comprehend that.

Thanks for posting those pics. I'm about to start extending out my harness and it's good to see what spaces in the firewall you chose to keep.
