I no people have taken out the ABS system and also re routed the fuse housing and put them in less obvious places

cool, the ABS is a right eye sore but i dont think i want to take it out though :confused:

which fuse housing, there is far to many lol

[Ada7]

All the fuse boxes i think. I guess its a matter of extending the cables and putting them in tucked away places

This is one of Dragons show cars. Just to give you an idea.

[karl_tate]

cheers dude,

i wonder where they have put it all though.

[Ada7]

I did read somewhere that they got them under one of the wheel aches :confused:

See that Demo car last at Trax 2 years ago maybe 3
was up for sale, I thought it was a sweet looking Demo car, certainly caught the eye, wonder what ever came of it.

Yeh its was up for about £13-15k for ages then disappeared. Insidently the wheels on that car were the very set that were on Gurj\'s last matt black rx. They still advertised it with them though which i found a little strage :confused:
Dont know if it sold or Dragon still have it. I loved it and if i had the money would of got it.

It was a lovely car. I built it from standard so know it, inside out. It was 99 spec and rellay tight. I advertised it for a while, then one sad day a lad came and picked it up, and I havent heard form him since then! Which i find bizarre.
The fuse and relay boxes were heavily simplyfied and and relocated around the car, inside the front wings and headlight. ABS etc all gone, and ignition amps, linelock etc added.
Its harder to do with a TT. But were doing a simplyfied single at the moment, and i want to go really crazy with that one, fullshow car, with as clean as possible look inside. Also gonna be pink aswell

[Initial-D]

Pink, you big girl!!
Wheres the camo gone?!

[DRAGON]

Camo was shot for the cover of a magazine yesterday, with a tasty model Sorry Bish, she was female.

[Archbish]

Oh, you checked thoroughly did you??? *grin*  they can be tricky...

[karl_tate]

im on single turbo so any help would be great ross.

did you retain the fuse boxes or just simply the wiring and do away with the big chunky ugly looking things.

is there any thing else in the wiring loom etc i can take out.

cheers

Depends how far you want to go. I would recommend going through the fuse and relay boxes and remove anything not needed. Then you can merge them into one box, or try to minimalise the boxes. You can relocate lots into the interiour if you want. The wire runs are made much shorter if you do this.
I have often put all the fuses into the large Main relay fuse box, and then its much easier to hide, the easiest place to put this under the nearside sleek headlight, then face it back into the engine bay for maintenance.

[karl_tate]

ok thanks for that, when i get motivated to get back into the garage i will have a look at them and go from there.

ive also been thinking about making some form of cover out of CF to hide a few other things such as brake servo etc etc

we will see.

thanks
