Hey nice job on the build. I like where your going to with this. I was wondering if you could do me a favor though. On your two wires that go into the fuse box...the blue and silver wires on the right. I was wondering if you could take a picture for me of where these wires go to. I am in the middle of a wire tuck myself and would like to see how you tied the silver wire with the power wire. Thanks.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by iluvmyef9 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

Yeah but those after market lugs have a different taper to them so they will only fit after market wheels and not oem wheels.

you guys make this too hard, just solder it to the pos battery cable. if you are running the battery in the trunk like most, just solder it in some where along the cable. that blue wire just goes to the alt. no i cant spell

you can see here i just pulled the cables apart (yes i used jumper cables to relocate the battery, it's cheap and has worked fine for 3 years) cut some shielding off and soldered in line to the starter.

Its just I cannot figure out a good safe way of soldering that into the power wire without it looking like crap.

If you want it preddy you can use the heat shrink with glue. If you don’t care like me, stick your splice wire into the main, twist it nice and tight, solder it in, put some RTV around it so it can’t short and wrap with 3m electric tape. K.I.S.S. don’t over think it. Lots of good info in this thread. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1043518
I’ll stop thread jacking now.

I love the LSVTEC glad you painted under the hood at first it kinda looked like a silver paint grenade exploded in there. Keep up the great work.
