Ok... Well stupid me didn't take any before photos but if you have owned any civic you know where the wires are coming from and now you'll see where they can be hidden...

Here's the wiper motor wire tuck and brake fluild sensor... I did this last night

This all the head light and horn,fans, and other plugs...

I hide all the wires across the bottom and hid everything the best I could...

Here's what I did with the clump wires coming out of the fire wall on the drivers side...

[EK9turbo]

Looking good! Are you relocating the battery too?

What was the stuff you used on the gearbox to clean it up? cheers

 

[olly ek9]

good stuff , would rather be doing soldered joints with heatshrink than all those crimp connectors though,

Thanks... I was going to relocate the battery and fuse box but now i'm trying to figure a way to the run the two wires that come out of the fuse box, through the fuse box, out the back and to the battery...
As for the cleaner on the tranny... Just a cleaner called Grease lighting
