What is this space for?



doing a little crazy modding lately. what is this space circled for?
was thinking or re-wiring my power inverter to be closer to the battery and this looked like a nice dry empty space.

of course, it its not, any recommendations for a better space for a hard wired power inverter?

That's where the optional flux capacitor goes.

In my case, that's where the pump for my water/meth injection system is going.

All of y'all are wrong. That's where you put the blinker fluid and/or muffler bearing oil! Geesh!

I don't know, maybe things in the engine bay are arranged differently in the right hand drive market cars.

Perfect Compartment for my Oil Can. That is in my MCS. Don't know how much space is in the non-S pix.

You mean a first turbo, right? Or a first supercharger?

Its where I put all my wiring for my neons. I have a nice custom shield over it.

But use it for whatever you precious heart desires.

It's a GPS antenna holder for me, but it's also good for brake system as it's cooled through the cowl.

what a cool little car this is for customizing.
I ran 2 guage wires through the air vent and filter attachment which are under the plastic cover in this space. perfect place to run wires into cabin from engine bay. keeps 1000W power inverter close enough to the battery, yet close enough to configure inside the car as well.
