any wire tucks on 1ga's?

Click to expand...

1g's are a lot easier. 2g's are filled with wires and crap up top that 1g's aren't. I've done a couple mild wire tucks on 1g's and they all come out great and are easy.

i would but i dont have a trailer for her. nor do i have the money to make her look pretty yet. i still got to get her to stop breaking. then i'll worry about looks.

Did you mount the power transistor in a different spot than stock?

very nice!

I like it! Wish someone close to here did that!!!

Bring your car out, would be a nice road trip.

Do you sleave/loom the wires?

I am thinking of starting a wire tuck, stashing the harness along the fire wall and running wires under the intake manifold etc. But I wanted to ditch all that crinkly corrugated wire loom and use Cable sleeving commonly used in PCs.

I am thinking I should be able to knock it out with 1 of these

Techflex Wire Sleeving Kit (Black) at Xoxide!

It contains

* 10 ft. 1/8" sleeving
* 10 ft. 1/4" sleeving
* 5 ft. 3/8" sleeving
* 5 ft. 1/2" sleeving
* 12 tie wraps
* 1 ft. 9 mm heat-shrink tubing
* 1 ft. 18 mm heat-shrink tubing
* 6 in. 24 mm heat-shrink tubing

I wonder though if I should get 2?

That looks amazing! I'll be shipping you my car in the next few days

I dont understand where did you put the throttle cables and the wiper motors and stuff.

The throttle cable is bolted onto the intake manifold still, so don't know what you're asking?

Everything is re-routed behind the IM or lower on the firewall.

For those wanting to do this, they have actually started accepting people's harnesses for core's or providing you with one if you want this done. You can send in your engine harness, they have a 1g/2g donor car to fit everything and make sure it's the right fit/length.

I'm sending in mine and giving them a try.

O ok no I understand but I just don't know how to move the throttle cables. There really annoying

That almost looks like a non-cruise cable, unless they did some funky cruise relocation, to get that look all you need in the non-cruise cable (which of course deletes your cruise control).

How long does this take. I could make the drive but can't afford to live in the garage for a week.

Nice work! I'll definatly do this the next time I freshen up my engine.

No battery box? Clean tuck but i would feel better with the fuse box inside the cabin. regardless, very clean work

Yeah. I have an extra harness so I thought I'd give them a try and see how their work is.

Dam when I first read this I thought it was STM doing the work so I thought it would be fairly close . But damn 350 for a wire tuck? And we can send you our harness? I might have to do this...like now

I thought the same thing! Then realized it was an "I" instead of "T."

But yes, they're great with customers. Always had an email/call right back. I tried getting them to relocated the fuse box to the glove box. They originally said yes, then 15 minutes later was told that the tech that does the tucks will not do it since it leaves room for mess up.

Still worth it IMHO. You get a clean looking bay and it saves you the time/hassle of doing it yourself.

I'm also sending my harness when I got the cash.

great work im sure ill head that way when my car is on the road, i dont mind road trips! is it a long process as in should i drop it off beginning of the week and then pick up few days later?

I would recommend buying sleeving from here.Last time I priced some out, it was a lot cheaper than PC modding sites like Xoxide, plus these guys carry automotive grade stuff (heat, chemical, etc. resistant).

Thanks for that link. I tryed various google searches but alas it just wasn't something I knew enough about to figure out the right keywords.

wow.. looks really good!
