Wire tuck on the Rex!

[Athens_Red_Rexin]

Updated pic at the bottom!
Well I finished up the wire tuck today on the Rex. I have already moved the injector resistor box, and driver side headlight wiring. Today I moved the passenger side headlight wiring, fuse box, and the huge connectors next to the fuse box.

Here is a pic of before I started on the tuckin.

I ran the headlight, corner light, and bumper light and fan wiring through the same hole as the wiring for the door, and into the fender. :crazy:

Ignore all the dirty stuff, that's all gettin cleaned up tomorrow, and I have a plug ordered from Honda to plug that hole in the firewall where the AC condensor lines were. Thanks for any comments! :goodjob:

And here is now after removing the gas tank charcoal canister, the heater and AC, clutch cable, radiator catch jug, wiper arms, some more random stuff, and plugging the holes in the firewall with the plugs I ordered from Honda.

[d_day87]

nice work man. def. a pain in the ass

[1flysi]

Na man. I hope your about to tell me what to do with that gas tank charcol canister on the firewall. :yes:

Get rid of it. Unhook all the lines going to it, cap the ones where they hook up on the throttle body. The only one you need to worry about is the one going to the fuel tank, I always put a peice os hose on it and run it down between the firewall and rear crossmember.:goodjob:

[mushroom_toy]

Looks really good man! Nice meeting ya the other night at the v.

[Homer Simpson]

it looks pretty straight even without the tuck! But looks really good either way! Clean bay!

[Just_CHill]

Looks good man.

[MistaCee]

Do you have to get longer wires?

[HachiDori]

I vote a DIY thread to come with this!

[SilverSurfer]

I can appreciate the work. This job has always been a mystery to me. I love seeing these done, and I wanna play around with a tuck some time! repps your way!

[Athens_Red_Rexin]

^Thanks man! Yeah this was my first tuck.

[MSRTom]

Very nice. Hiding wires always makes a Honda motor stand out so nicely. At some angles, It looks like it's just floating in the bay. I would imagine that it makes a few things easier to get to.

[.:Stirfry:.]

looks hella better:.. nice job.
now juss move the clutch cable under the intake manifold..

[.:Stirfry:.]

Do you have to get longer wires?

juss have to extend a couple here and there

[Athens_Red_Rexin]

juss have to extend a couple here and there

Yeah like healight, corner lights, and bumper light wiring. And the selenoid wire on the starter. But nothin huge! :goodjob:

[Athens_Red_Rexin]

looks hella better:.. nice job.
now juss move the clutch cable under the intake manifold..

Will that get the clutch cable too hot though, and make it go bad quicker?

[RUFFIAN]

Its really going to suck trying to run down a short or a cracked wire. It looks really good though.

[Athens_Red_Rexin]

^Not really because I know where everything is.

[Double_0_Rusty]

Very nice Matt! Looking good. Now I'll pay you to do the Talon...lol

[.:Stirfry:.]

Will that get the clutch cable too hot though, and make it go bad quicker?

nope not at all.. it should be fine:..

[Athens_Red_Rexin]

^Sounds good. I will be changin that this weekend!:goodjob::goodjob:

[eg mike]

[Athens_Red_Rexin]

New pic at beginning!

[mr.koupe]

[Athens_Red_Rexin]

^That's not a ps bracket, it's just a brace that runs from the front of the engine to the engine mount.

[mr.koupe]

Thanks a lot guys!!!

[UpSideDownDesi]

looks clean man....very clean. I might need your help on my subie, def needs a tuck lol.

[DecoyOctopus]

i dont get it do you cut and splice wires and stuff when you do a tuck or what? is there any place that shows you how to do this. im really interested but yea man looks really good mayn

Well it's different for other vechiles, but a Honda you don't have to cut that much. Also mine being an 88 model it's pretty simple under the hood. Your are basically just pulling all the extra wire loom under the hood back under the dash. The wiring runs from the computer to out under the hood to the connectors goin to the engine and to the fuse box. Well you just pull the connectors and fuse box under the dash, and the wiring from the motor will then run into the fire wall. You do have to extend a few thing but nothing major. And the most cutting is for the headlight wiring and bumper lights, but all you are really doing is extending them. But I have relocated my battery and done away with the AC and heater so this helps a lot also. Hope this helps man! :goodjob:

[Decepticon™]

Damn that looks AWESOME. So when you gonna do mine?:ninja:

Peace.Love.Honda

^Thanks a lot guys!

Yeah, good luck with that. I'd love a wiretuck but there are just too many wires running around under the hoods of our cars. If you ran a standalone and could ditch some of the stock sensors it would be much more manageable.

Wiretucks always make the engine bay look so clean, good job.

[civicmantim]

Wiretucks make the enginebay look so much cleaner, looks nice..

[Black4DrEK]

Dayum... I want a wire tuck.:( Looks nice man!

[carbon_crash]

Looks good man. Just watch out for the racing harness you got in your crx!LOL!!

[Black4DrEK]

How much will someone do a Wire tuck For? anybody that can do it well...

[carbon_crash]

PM The Bucky, he can do it. Or Athens Red Rexin might want to tackle another one. Bucky did his car and the sh!t is the hotness!

[Ronsam2006]

Very nice wire tuck
