You can do a semi wire tuck on the crx pretty easily. On mine, i tucked almost all the headlight wiring away down behind the front bumper and moved the horns into the fenders. One big thing you can do is tuck the clutch cable to go down underneath the intake manifold and behind the motor and then go to the trans. that is one of the main things to get tucked.

never converted to hydro. shouldnt be hard though. just buy the hasport kit or whoever makes it, and it should be pretty straight forward i would guess, and then getting a hydro tranny and clutch.

Hydro conversion kit is kinda bulky under the hood in my opinion. Wire tuck is just time consuming to be done right, done a few, got 2 more lined up.

EF's are too much work to tuck, but it's so much fun to see the results. I'm about to do it in my hatch.

Frank, do you use expandable sleeving and/or Raychem products?
