Ok, ductape doesn't work very well so i guess zip ties are the preferred method to tidy things up. So, how many are on your car??? O0

Haha, mine are all for vacuum lines... usually for my Boost gauge, and the BOV. zip ties do the job! Especially when you get that HUUUGE box of multi colored ones from like Walmart or Target, has blue, red, green, black, and in both small, medium and large.

nothin wrong with zip ties... just make sure you cut the excess after its secured... it looks tacky if you leave it on. hah

not yet - I will try to get some. I just wrapped them around the rubber piping -about a half inch apart. Made sure the connector part was under so it looked clean.

Do zipties increase HP, if so I must be around 1000whp.
I probably have around 50-60. Keeps wires nice and neat and out of the way.

what the rules here?
I have added two loops to hold in electronics, however each requires two zip ties, so is that 2 or 4.
I added one for wiring. And what about the stock ones on the vac/boost line for the MR gauges?

I have them all over the place. They are this generations baling wire. My grandpa was an old rodeo, rancher, and farmer. He could fix anything with baling wire. On my car, zip ties are under my dash, hood, bumpers, fuel lines, etc.
Funny thread.

A grip... Most notable zip ties are the two that are holding my license plate in place after it flew off at Buttonwillow.
