oh and props on the tuck its coming along nicely, I just got through stripping my eentire interior harness. gets kinda hectic.

Product Listing - CAR

the 1st one is jus regular led come in variety of colors
2nd are the high power smd's only come in blue or white

tips: only use white led for the middle one cause buttons have blue n red coating....if you use red or blue its gonna be dim depends wat color is use.

no modding needed they fit perfect...only thing is removing them is a b**tch like when the polarities are backward cause this are polarized leds/smds

lmk if ya got any ??

oh get the 3mm

nice work my friend. that looks sooo clean:) and the DCC and your cluster looks bitchin. i wish i had the patience and the cash to do all that.. i dont. and i dont have another car anyway. downtime is no good at the moment :P congrats on the great work mann

Gorilla Unit 33 07-12-2009 01:04 AM

I have a couple questions for the OP, since im in the middle of my full tuck right now aswell. Other then that it looks good. Im tucking the P/s resi up by the clutch resi, aswell as getting an inline fuel filter to clean up the lines from the fuel rail going on top of the manifold to the filter and tucking it behind the manifold on the firewall.

1. when you installed the dcs, did you use all the sensors and b/s or did you wire it into the factory usdm harness? (i guess it would be like having the digital system just without the auto climate controll?)

2. did you think about keeping the 2 fuse boxes before you just eliminated them and relocated everything to the glove box?


....me and a friend have found that the fuse boxes themselves can stay where they are just by flipping them upside down and putting them on the underside of the metal from where there at from the factory locations. Now that im tupped though im going to have to make a custom mounting slot on my passenger side but my drivers side will still use that slot from the factory which the fuse boxes use to keep them in place. of course i will have to secure the lids since they will be mounted completely upside down now but it should work out fine. I just got my car back to my garage but i can get pictures of what im talking about and how im going to make mine work if you need an example. Im still a bit far away from completing it but its coming along. Also keep in mind the only way someone could possibly pull off the tuck using the same spots for the fuse box i'am using is if they are N/A or have a v mount intercooler setup, because all the other ways i could think of you have to cut holes in the metal where i would be mounting my fuse boxes.

Make sure you use large enough line for the reservoir to the pump - I used -6an (3/8") from the rack to the reservoir, and -10an (5/8") for reservoir to pump. Also, with inline fuel filters, most of the small ones are "pre-filters", and either don't filter all the way down to 10 microns, or don't deal well with high pressure. I'm using a Fram HPG1 filter because it's cheap, handles high pressure, and uses a replaceable filter element that filters to 10 microns or so.

I can't possibly think of a way to fit those fuse boxes underneath the fender with tubs. When you're low, the wheel travels almost all the way to the underside of the strut tower, and pretty far inward. Pics?

i have all the sensors wired up!

2. did you think about keeping the 2 fuse boxes before you just eliminated them and relocated everything to the glove box?
i was going to but then plan change! decided to move everything inside since i was relocating my battery inside and wanted to use fuse panels instead. Also i had unwanted wires i wanted to removed so decided to rip everything out and redo the whole thing. the only wires going outside frm the smj are headlites, sidemarkers, signals, horns, & windshield washer pump/level sensor.

thats an easyway to do tuck but i wanted a more challenging tuck..lol

Thanks for the heads up on the filter facts. where the boxes mount underneath is like where the windsheild wiper fluid tank would be and that never gets rubbed, let alone the fuse boxes arent as big as that fluid tank either. You have an idea of where im talking about now? if not i'll get some pics up asap....i come from honda's where everything can be tucked away in the plastic under the windshield wipers lol.

Great Thread!!!

brndck 08-05-2009 07:21 PM

this pic isn't a great example, but i relocated my entire harness and fuseboxes into my glovebox. now the only wires that are in the bay are my headlight harnesses and engine wiring. now i have a crate overflowing with wire i cut out.
i need to redo it cleaner and more "baller".

O know tjis is kinda taking it back a bit but do you think the NEO4's will work in the DCC? Im just wondering because I was hoping for more options than white and blue, but I will go white if I have to.

Daym dude that looks sick! You have to tell me your secret. How do you keep track of all the little screws and where everything goes?! I was thinking of getting like little platic bags and labeling everything. Or taking alot of pictures in case I forget where something goes or how it was hooked up previously. I envy you, man. Good job, really.

:bowrofl:

thanks bud!

Choku_Dorian 08-13-2009 04:34 PM

great thread and taking time to help other people out...good stuff

your tuck is incredible, if my chassis wasnt a rustbucket you would have motivated me to undertake this task with this thread.

now you may have motivated me to start looking for a clean coupe shell to do this in, im tired of the hatch...

BoostSlideWayz 08-15-2009 10:11 PM

Dam this confuses me so much. I dont understand how your supposed to keep track of every wire. So.... if im doing a track build. where i wont need any of the smog equipment.. or AC, or anything that makes the car more confurtable.. can i take alot of the sensors off ?? im still trying ti figure this all out.
