it's not new slang though it's been around for a very long time. it's 2 seperate things though.
tucked...you're wiring harness/hard lines ect are tucked out of view . and shaved is all unnecessary holes welded up along with any seams where metal pieces connect.
look up chase bays...the specialize in wire tucks and make good money doing it

 

Apparently, it's more or less new around here... Doesn't sound like something 1st-gen rotarys see a lot of.

 

Here's Owen's RX3.

He's one of the guys from my local RX club.

wow....see that wasn't very hard at all. that's a beautiful bay and a very nice car. thank you for making me not feel like an idiot for asking about this.

 

No worries mate! Any excuse to drool over Big O's car!!! I farkin love it!

 

Very nice.

I will do mine that way, if I pull the engine to paint.

 

Does he have a problem with his brakes from the heat of the turbo? It's clean either way.

 

very nice. what kinda brake master cylinder is he using?

 

Damn you Aussies and your super duper crazy clean cars.

 

I dunno what master cylinder he's using, i'd say it's not factory one though as I think he's running a TO4Z!, i'll have to ask.

I'm not sure how he goes with heat from the turbo, but i'd almost guarantee that the turbo exhaust and from there back has been ceramic coated for heat deflection...

This is only moderately on topic, but the Vdub guys do a pretty good job. There are quite a few shaved engine bays in this [awesome] video.

Hondas and VWs do it best. Never seen a rotary get away with it, probably because the ignition and oil lines/wires don't have nifty vavle cover plates to hide them, they HAVE to just out of the rotor housings and what not, ono alternate routing avaliable and the plugs aren't recessed in the block.

 

i loved that vid haha the editing and camera work was sick. i love vw...but i'll always have a place in my heart for my honda( although the void has been almost mended with working o the 7)

but yeah hondas and vws have it easy for tucks but there's deffinatly some clean rotary bays too.

oh yeah...and that wagon was super slammed....***** crazy cool haha

 

kool vid. that multi-colored one didn't look half bad.

 

yeah plus it matches his steering wheel

 

that is a beautiful machine

 

yeah its honda stuff but its clean work. ive seen the mans work in person
if only he did rx7s

I'd like to know how the Aussies manage to tuck in their wiring to where it seems the engine is just floating in there. That is just insane.
