yes there is, but it kinda defeats the purpose.
1) get an intake
2) get a header, though you wont see it, it will be pretty.
3) sand down and either polish or paint your Valve cover, and intake manifold.
4) Relocate the battery to either the trunk or get (2) 6 volt batterys and place them in the fenders or under the rear bumber away from the exhaust.
5) Clean everything NON ELECTRICAL with simply green, seems to work best.
6) clean everything black thats NON ELECTRICAL with Armour all.
7) Post new pics once you get there, and we'll see what else you have to do.
OH and BTW, your looking at a race vehicle not a daily driven car.
lots of cleanin but thanks and what can i do with the wires? can i relocate them to run along the fenders or something?

you can, but you wanna spend 30+ hours rerouting 5 miles of wire?
And so of that wire, has to be a specific length or it doesnt work right, such as the o2 sensor wiring.
And dont forget you engine is reversed of the civics. Your intake and all the electronics are near the front or side. So best bet to cover it all up would be a custom engine cover.

Just to show you before i answer your last post, not all engine need to be clean and orderly to look good.

The gauges are volt, oil pressure, and trans temp. I took alot of flak here because of them. Personally i would rather see the vitals of the engine while infront of the engine instead of going into the car to keep track of whats going on.
They are not there anymore, not because of immature bastards here, but because i overhauled the engine bay, well, still in the process of it. That pic is about 6-7 months old. There are now 6 gauges, flush mounted into a stainless steel cover, and the battery and intake have been relocated. I wont have pics till im done so hopefully in about MAY.
maybe if the guages were inside the car you would have been able to see the signs of your engine overhauling......lol, im not tryin to flame, you, i just thought it was ironic
in my opinon i would get some one to fab up a stainless steal engine cover @!#$ you can even get fender ones so it covers everything up but its all still stock under there

How about just "clean" in the literal sense
It'll look even better this upcoming season, though--I promise.
thats sweet! you should move your battery to your trunk imo. i hope to get my intake manifold and valve cover sand blasted next month

I do have gauges inside the car, but if im working under the hood, its just a waste of time to keep running to the door to look through the window.
