once you put the new ECU and conversion harness back in the car, how did you have everything positioned so you could get that plastic kick panel back on?

I'd like to know this also. I'm guessing if you can't get everything bolted up the way it is from the factory with the stock ecu, you can probably use masking tape to mount it. Sure its ghetto, but you won't see it right?

like the ECU will bolt to the car, its just that b/c of the conversion harness, there's a lot of excess wires and all that get in the way of putting the kick panel back on.

You just need to tuck the conversion harness wires under the ecu the best you can...I'll try and show a pic of what I mean, I just put my panel back on this weekend.

What I did was you a twisty tie to hang the connectors coming from under the dash under the dash,put the metal guard over the ECU with the connectors facing up coming out of the plastc kick panel and connected in the back under the glove box.The heavy duty twisty ties keep it underneath& behind the glove and you cant see it at all.

Its a good mod thought,just with bolt ons and my 95p72 you can clearly feel a difference during vtec,it even sounds alot meaner.
