The issue with wire tucks is no one ever does them properly. Lack of grommets used going thru the firewall, poor connections on extensions, poor mounting methods or a complete lack thereof, etc. Not to mention these are dried out +30 year old harnesses. They don't like to be moved around. Diagnosing will be a pain, chaffing can cause a potential fire hazard. This list goes on..
It’s not that big of a deal unless some idiot just crams them around. Harnesses move pretty easily if you massage them into place. The wires just want to be in a relaxed state. Fit them so they’re relaxed and they don’t fight you
If you plan on keeping this car please upgrade the power wiring that other stuff is to small and will get hot and melt and don’t never stick any power wiring in your door jam unless you have cut a spot out in the door gasket to let the wires go through without damaging them by opening & shutting the door
Damn that's brave using the same color wire for positive and negative lines going to the fuse box. Even if you put a colored heat shrink on the ends. Drop the little extra for different color wires.
Isn't a fuse a break in a single wire? Like if the fuse wasn't there, wouldn't that wire continue on to it's destination, and so would be the same colour all the way thru? So if you place a fuse in its path,, are you not just cutting the wire, and then splicing it back together using a fuse as the joiner? They just happen to all break in the same place, all contained in a nice box. So the wires should be same colour on both sides of fuse shouldn't they? Your not running both +&- to a fuse are you? I'm terrible electrician, and an even worse automotive electrician, so forgive my ignorance. But I thought your lights, and accessories grounded in position, and only the positive was ran, the battery being grounded to frame as well making any bare steel an effective ground no,? I still have a few items running a large ground cable back to negative battery post, as well as to the frame, though I don't think it is needed, nor effective, but makes me feel like I'm protected more golder.👍🏾cause when you look fly, you feel fly
I'm a semi tucked kinda guy just because yea the bay might be free of wires but under the dash looks like rats nest or same thing with brake lines imagine getting a leak and trying to repair or replace stuff under the dash
I have a buddy who did that, and eventually, it caught fire because those wires will chafe/rub inside of the fender well I will admit it makes the car look way better but the fire extinguisher material no bueno rewiring the car sucks balls.
From what I can tell there is no good reason at all to do it, I would argue that it's probably worse than original since if there is a problem with the wiring or something else it's going to be more of a pain to figure it out since the harness is tucked away and harder to get to. I wont lie though it looks really good and it will be easier to clean the engine bay, So in the future I want to do this as well purely for the looks. And it might make it easier to install new mods in the engine bay area since you get some more room from not having a harness all over the place, At this point I'm basically just finding excuses to justify doing it for myself so sorry for the long rant.

I love the strut towers on those Hondas they feel so strong
your a funny guy , the strut towed on my eg were made of glass
Yeah they kinda flimsy hence the semi-mandatory strut bars on Honda track builds.
@@wilfredt981mine blew 🤦🏻♂️
Great work bud! That’s something I’ve always wanted to learn to do
Tedious as all get out but it looks sooooo good
Carrying TH-cam for Honda guys rn crazy how much experience you got one day I’ll be able to do it without help

Blow a tire destroy your harness but it looks clean 😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Just dont forget the grommet on the firewall so the wires dont get cut by the sharp edges with vibration
Find out pretty quick if he forgot that
Hellz yea man Killin it. Looks great

You gotta appreciate a good wire tuck. Well done🤌
This is so important, it changed my life! 🦖🥳👻
Good stuff
There doin a soon as u run the turbo pipe out the finder
I didn’t know people were still doing this
I need help with my headlight tuck got a tutorial video ?
I just did my jdm d15b in my 89 Honda civic hatch
I have a buddy who did that, and eventually, it caught fire because those wires will chafe/rub inside of the fender well I will admit it makes the car look way better but the fire extinguisher material no bueno rewiring the car sucks balls.
Well then he must no hsve protected the wires. Put a protection tube over it
Love it
Humans are the nuttiest beings in the universe.
Pretty rad untill you wreck and the wires all geg pinched in fender 😂
I like The way it looks, but I'll rather have functionality.
I'm sure there's a good reason for doing this, so excuse my ignorance as I ask what's the benefit?
Purely to have a clean and wire free engine bay. Also gave me the opportunity to go through the harness a bit and remove what I don’t need.

@@smartins. damn 3 paragraphs?
@@NoLyinEvry1sDyin
Pretty much talked to myself with that comment, Had to justify why I ''Need'' to do this to my own car.😂
I think I need some new headlight harness’s I only got one low beam on the passenger and then one high beam on the driver side
Is this with a tuck kit or the O.E.M. harness ???
Oem
A lot of work for absolutely no pay off
Why would you do this?
that's legit
Crv ? Same?
How many HP did that add?
Just why ???? Really
Crazy to think I was doing this 18 years ago
The reason these things end up ruined
how to fuck a honda civic in 60 seconds.
Eg ftw
93-2000? Sixth generation is from 96-2000.
schweet
Gromit?
That thing has to handle terribly the whole motor is infront of the strut towers
Fire in 3.....2.....
No rubber grommets on any of the wires super safe ahaha that won't last
Oh
Oem route my face xoxo
Take all the wires and shove em in the glove box. Tucked
Function over form lol
why
This is so early 2000s cant believe people still do this pointless act
Don’t do it this way I’ll a mess get a wire tuck harness much better
Grommets
grommets
@@monotheis6889 Corrected thanks 🙏🏽
First world problems
I have a video on doing this without cutting any wires or going through the door jamb on my channel! Check it out
Why????

😂
Worse ever
Do you know what's going to happen to your wire harness if you get a blowout tire ? Total and complete destruction.
