all of these wire tucks are a joke, i have a friend that had an EK that he wired tucked like hell. Relocating the battery under the dash, made his own wiring harness that ran through the heater core hole in the center of the firewall. Re ran the lighting harnesses through the metal frame that the fenders follow on top. Pure sex, Only wires were the VTEC solenoid wire, the couple of wires that went to the dizzy plug which was tightly pulled, and the spark plug wires. Thats it. Ill try to find pics, but way cleaner than any honda ive seen. I guess thats what you get when you have no license and no job and just time to do it.

Ill take the pepsi challenge with this ^^^ car. This car ran in this pic(lotsa people thought it couldnt possibly run), and this was almost 4 years ago. Been hiding wires/fuseboxes, batteries, etc... for along time. Oh and the battery is still up in the engine bay
