I'm gonna tackle the other side this weekend, that harness is going to be a MAJOR PITA to do, but in the end, it'll be worth it. Here's a pic of my old Del Sol with the "mini tuck". You can see where I had mounted the HID's in the pic as well.
Tucking wires just takes a whole lot of patience. It's the kind of thing you can't simply start and not finish. Once you've snipped those first couple of wires, you're already knee deep in crap.

If you want to do something with the power steering and coolant reservoirs that looks nice, check into this: http://www.forgemotorsport.com/conte...roduct=FMHTEV8
I know it's not a low-dough mod like tucking the harness, but it looks soooo good!

Whats involved with a tuck? I am guessing cutting and adding wire to make it longer and hide it !?!

Pretty much. I actually wrote down the colors to the injector wires and numbered them accordingly so I would'nt get confused. I started with those first and then moved on to the other sensors on the manifold. I also had to extend the sensor to the o2 sensor as well that runs under neath the spark plug cover. I made sure they were long enough to be able to tuck under and beanath the manifold and still have some slack. I have put 50 miles on my car since the tuck and no differences what so ever.
As long as you make sure to solder, heat shrink and tape up everything "real good", you should'nt have any problems. I'll take pics of the tuck on the other side this weekend.
I was planning of getting some type of "power distribution" block made or fabbed up that would allow me to plug all the cables that run to the positive terminal into the block, and then just have one run out to the battery terminal.
None of this serves any purpose at all, but it makes the bay look 10x better. It's just personal preference.

Looks good man.. Waiting to see what else your doing.. iam doing the same as well ill post mine here if you would like or just make a whole new thread.. I ran my throttle cable under the intake manifold.. Looks alot better and hides the whole wire..
I detached it from the Throttle body. Carefuly routed it underneath and placed it back in place and adjusted the cable.. I did as much as i could for now without cuting and running added wires..

you will love the look of the throttle cable behind, looks sooo much cleaner.. Also take off any and all brackets that only hold things in an ugly place
