All those damn hoses
I own a 1970 Opel GT with a 12A and a 1982 RX-7 with a 12A.
I have seen a few 1st generation engine comparments(in Texas and Arizona) that are totally void of all the plumbing (hoses, vacumn solenoids,and metal tubing) making the engine comparment look very neat and trim(even polished).
How is this done?
Are there pitfalls in removing this stuff?
What adjustments have to be made?
How does this effect perfomance?
Thankyou
BTW
I am sorry if this is a no-brainer but rotaries are brand new to me
