clean up engine bay

[jessem]

What can be done to clean up the passenger side of an r32 under the hood?

I removed the carbon canister, but theres still that ugly silver voltage stabilizer(i think) and some wiring that looks nasty. I think im going to removed the washer fluid jug because i have legitmately never used it, but what else can be done. I know theres some really clean cars out there with all this missing, help me out.

thanks

heat shields , that floppy mess of an intake pipe , air box , go front mount and u can get rid of some of the piping on that side , get rid of that "turbo" and put a real one in .

Relocate the power steering reservoir, or build/find a smaller tank to hold fluid and move it back towards the firewall.. It's also good to move because a hot track day with a larger or unshielded turbo/manifold could result in a very hot PS reservoir and thus PS fluid.

Move the windshield washer compartment to the trunk. Archaeic_bloke will have a write up for this soon as he's about to attempt it.
Battery as well (though its on the driver's side)
Also wrap up and clean the wiring and remove the hicas solenoid on the drivers side..

my p/s reservoir overflows during EVERY track day

Where can the reservoir be moved too? I cant really look at my car right now but is there much slack in the lines for it to be moved or can those be lengthened easy?

yes but be sure to use power steering hose for the hoses to the reservoir and back, normal hose cant handle power steering fluid..

[jessem]

I doubt a little hose clamp is gonna hold huge ps pressure hence why i asked, if its only a drain line w/ no pressure fittings on it then i can see a problem with just lengthing it, but again i havent check it out yet to know which is true.

does the PS reservoir have to remain at the same height? (not sure if it is some sort of gravity feed deal) or can i mount it where the stock air box was?

[jessem]

Moving that would help, but theres still this god ugly wiring, for the time being i may just wire loom what i can't move
