    is that a good price in your eyes?
    i did a 240sx the other day $700 was the quote, the guy paid with no problem

    nice!!!

    If you do not re-solder your wires correctly, you will have corrossion in the future. Their is a good chance you've changed the OHMS that the sensor wires are suppose to have, and you could have wierd running demons with your car for the rest of it's life.
    If you don't solder and heat shrink: your nuts.
    soldering is still my way of doing
    i bought a pack of 2500 of precut heatshrink 1/8 thick, so i dont have to cut them

    also guys, the price will always change, ive done $700 tucks and also $100 +a 12pack and both look exactly the same
    if you ever pull the fenders you will see the difference in between the $100 and the $700

    just so you'll know, if ever using electrical tape, dont be a cheapass
    and get the 4pack for a $1
    i use 3m tartan +33 vinyl tape, doesnt leave the glue when applied, doesnt melt or unravel by heat, 100% wheather-proof
    a roll goes for $6 at autozone, so expect to pay good money for a tuck
    anything less than $350 could lead to electrical nightmare

      Totally agree with this! spend the bucks on proper wire coverings! shit electrical tape is nasty even 2 months after doing a job. spend the money one a LOT of heat shrink or but good 3M tape. I personally use heat shrink on anything in the engine bays or inside fenders then use 3M friction tape, which is non sticky tape that grabs onto itself (kind of like tacky cotton fabric) , for anything inside the car.

          as for the plug of the resistor, that comes apart from those 3 main plugs
          and you can move that wherever you want

          as for the mains, if you still have heater, and dont want to do nothing crazy
          hide them underneath the booster
          if you dont have heater you can route them inside the daSH

              =========================

              ok just let me say this and see if i am correct ... extend (cut and solder) those 3 plugs so that wire can reach up the fire wall and than reroute the rest of the wires how he did it ... ?

                no.......

                remove all the loom and get them back into the cabin, and ran underneath the dash, come out throught heater or remove SRS computer and make a hole there and run your wiring through there

                it really depends on what do you want to do
                my car has probably only 10 wires cut and soldered, throughout the vehicle harness (lights horn fusebox)

                  i cant wait until summer then its time to start on my wire tuck

                  i had my civic wire tucked... only had a couple emisions sensors left that i was going to tuck under the intake manifold

                  before

                  after



                  EDIT
                  Btw if anyone has any pics of there relocated fuse boxs it would be awesome to see how they mounted them. i dont see much room under the ac evap box my civics fuse box was much smaller haha
