if you use ur car as a DD than i would suggest you wait till you have some downtime, or a few friends who know what they are doing in order to bang it out in a weekend.
its not hard to do, just time consuming.

How do you start? Research on here and Honda-Tech.
Where do you start? In your engine bay.

Have a read through the DIY on here (No its not a CB but it will give you an idea of whats involved) - http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...light=wiretuck

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

well i did start by searching wire tuck. didnt get no answeres, thats why i posted a thread, but wasnt looking for smart ass remarks, which i got. sorr but its what i feel. i know its in my engine bay, i know alot of time goes into it, alls im asking is where do i tuck the wires too?
if i wanted a smart alick answer i would have asked eli, but im actually curious what comes first and what it takes, everytime the search button is used, i never get an answer, just more bs.
i dont want a full tuck as they say more a mild to clean my nay up a little this comes after prteussure washing my motor for a third time today after putting the dc header on a few weeks ago.
so my fellow cb members who can give me a pointer in the right direction? plz

Just don't cut WIRES it's not reconmended, I havn't and will not cut wires. I'm almost done with mine. I went full on tuck minus tucking the fuse box. I would suggest that you learn how to de-pin a harness. More time consuming but atleast you won't have to worrt about lose or broken connections.
My main harness is going to connect through the fire wall, my light harness is ran under the fender.Last edited by Darkcloud; 05-19-2010, 02:22 AM.

To be honest it's easy to do, I looked up 5 mins of crap maned up said F#$k it and went in, I follwed CP Mikes way, what's screwing me up is a weak ass drill to cut holes other then that I would've been done. The thing is too it's like a puzzlw that you can design. However you want it to look like determines the outcome

I started on the driver side, I re routed the main harness through the cabin under the dash on both sides, the engine harness will go through the fire wall and plug in, my light harness is routed under my fender's, as for pics they're in my MRT forgot what pages though, only have a few because I'm the only person working on my car. I'm rebuilding my whole car from the ground up

It's not easy ...lets put it like that. It takes loads of time. You do NOT want to rush this in any way. It took me 3 days to do a engine bay resleeving. A lot of depinning. Some wires were cut. Cutting isnt a bad thing, just make sure you solder and shrink tube. There will be wires that will need to be shortened and lengthened.
I am doing the whole nine. My engine harness is pretty much immaculate. I will have to extend a few wires. I already shortened one socket. If you want a clean tuck, you want correct lengths for each harness. Less wires equals less clutter.
I want to ask you, why you want the wire tuck done?
This year has been "year of the cb wire tucks". I am redoing mines from mild to major. And with major, if you arent deleting abs, ac, vacuum lines and ps...there isnt much point to do it.
This is NOT easy. Anyone who says it is is full of it. Check my MR thread. See the process I went through.
