i know lots of people have been looking for one!!
Yeah me included. For such a popular mod, there was a surprising lack of information about it. I just decided to go for it and I think it turned out ok. =)

Haha thanks. Now I have to do the battery and the fusebox.
Make a DIY for that as well if you dont mind ;) hahah, well atleast the fuse box part, the battery is fairly simple, me and my buddy are gonna do it when we get the spare time.

there really is no one way to a wire tuck, thats the nice part about them. you can do it how ever you want and make it to fit what you like.

also there is about a 1000 page how to on wire tucking on honda tech and it leads to recommendations, diagams, part numbers, links, tools, everything. if anyone needs more info

Haha I know exactly what you mean. It is almost an artform. I've read a lot of that thread, definitely worth checking out for those that haven't :thumbs up

yup, im at the point where i can look at a car and see a million ways of doing something, with all the same outcome. its all about preference and how far you want to jump into it. hell just a battery relocation, there is a million ways to go with that.


but yes, ive read that thread probably 50 times. i pretty much have it memorized but i still read it just so i dont miss anything. its where i got an idea of how i was going to go about my car, but once you start you realize you just need to figure it out

I know exactly what you mean. And speaking of battery relocation, I just got something in the mail to help out with that. I'll take pictures later. Also, I've been meaning to ask you two things. FIrst, how did you avoid a CEL when you removed the charcoal canister? Second, how do you like the eBay header you have. I need a header for mine, but can't afford a $400 one right now.

um well there are no sensors or anything so i just removed it, cut the one hose so it was under the car and removed the lines going to it and left them open.

i like the header, gives me decent clearance, wont break the bank if i destroy it, and overall for the price i dont see a 400 header worth it unless its a nice bendy one like a bisi

What about the purge solenoid, I heard you get a check engine light if you remove that. I guess I'll have to try. I think I'll order an eBay header then. =)

Ok, well once I get my car running again, I'll try it and see if I get any CEL's.



In other news, this is why I've been so busy lately.



Finally graduated! Off to college in the fall.

My parents got me an awesome gift. These are mainly so I will be able to work on my car while at college.
