you can relocate the ECU if you want to
there's enough extra wire to position it somewhere different. The easiest place to mount the fuse box in under the pass side of the dash. I've also seen in the glovebox, under the air bag cover on 94-95 civics (airbag removed)

ok how long does it take roughly?

umm well i started after this post and im about halfway done
finish the rest tomorrow but it took about 2 hours today

sweet. ok for sure. so 1 day ill have it done... ok cool. mabey i can do the shave also.

the shave is the forever part. All the welding, grinding and sanding...
I'd try the tuck first, your bay is already looking good purple

I want to do a wire tuck too.
But don't know exactly were to start.

welll i started taking the bumper and headlights off
then both fenders.
i unplugged all the wires to the front of the car and so on
disconnect all those plugs that attach it to the body
un-feed the wires through it
and then run then how you like

hahaha thats my 2 second how to

I think thats how im going to start mine. Did you have to cut/splice some wires?
Sorry for kind of jacking your thread OP.

about to start to finish it up now. looks to be plenty of extra wire

read the DIY and you'll see that you will need to
most of the info and a ton of pics you need are in there.

I find it usefull to take pics as I did the tuck so I could look back and see how things were before I changed them so I could see how to hook everything back up.
It was a huge help. Then I had pics to share with everyone too

omg omg omg. what did i get my self into.hahahahaha. ok we will be starting day 3 of my tuck. there is so much shit to do.

this is what i have done sofar.
relocated the battery to the trunk. witch looks minty fresh
relocated the fuse block behind my coinpocket/ashtray in the center of dash. looks very nice and mounted very sturdy.
cut a nice hole in firewall. not very pleasing to the eye but i will fix it up nicer later when i do swap and shave.
removed intake manny to axcess room for hole. also to help with the tuck so i can see everything.
removed harness and unraped it like a gift. haha
