Tuck them! There's a guy who travels around the country and will do a full tuck for like $450.

Just makes it a pain if you have a problem. My friends and I could do it, and not pay that much, just dont know if I want to. Def going to remove ABS, relocate battery, and possibly pull P/S. Then if there was just some way to eliminate a alternator lol.

Yeah i wish you could just move it to the back side of the engine lol. theres soooo much space in the bay without the P/S and A/C... I may consider the battery relocate at some point... just don't want to shell out $$$ for a box if I can fab a much better one myself. It would be way awesome to be able to jump the car from the trunk hahaha.

Question: is there a TB cover on the H22? I see tons of people running them without one and think they're crazy. I've landed a rock in there before and took a nice chunk out of the belt...

Well I race at the track, so I have to have a NHRA approved battery box and killswitch.

There is a timing belt cover on the H22, it does have cut outs for the cam gears however though.

Actually it appears only some have the cut outs for the cam gears, my new one does, but old one doesnt.

He removed:
Air conditioning
power steering
cruise control
ABS(if he had it, probably not)

relocated battery

wire tuck(which is a HUGE bear to tackle, especially in accords)

Yeah, going to be a slow process though. Starting to pull my motor next week, and probably going to be over a year till its all said and done.
