Re: wire tuck info/advice needed
It is a big headache.
If you want to truely do it. Like make it to where NO wires can be seen. You have to cut a hole in the bottom of the fire wall, make your harness a T, instead of it coming from both sides of the engine bay.
If you want to do a mild tuck. Unpin the headlight harnesses, and pull them thru a hole on the side of the engine bay up against the fire wall and then repin them back inside the fender.
It's not easy, but it's not hard. Just takes alot of time, and good trouble shooting skills.
PS. A friend just did the exact same thing, 98 civic, 99 Si everything, but his is turbo'd. His engine bay is black so you can't really tell.

This isn't a one day affair. Unless you just tuck the headlight harnesses.
I can ask my friend if he'd help you. I have never done a wiretuck from beginning to end, but I have helped on 3 now.
Willing to come out to P-Town?

Seriously. Have you done any wiring work?
I assume thats your car in the sig, your other one? If so, jesus it's nice . Haha. O back on topic, I think you have the common sense to do it, if that is infact your car in the avatar.
