and whenever i get that far into my car, if no one has found the random plug's purpose in life, ill take a look at it and check it out.

 

[honhon]

and also after looking, you or we may want to source may a 100ft roll of 3/16th for like the trunk light wiring, sinse its only 2 small like 20gauge wires, 3/16th shrink wrap will be perfect.

as well as maybe just a 50foot roll of 1inch for like the mainharnesses where all the harnesses come into one area.

but just to start off, i would say 3/8 would be fine to start with, then order as you go. i used a piece of shrink wrap yesturday and it was alittle too large and isnt stuck to the wire so ill be cutting it off... so its touch and go at the beginging but you learn as you gone on what sizes you want and need.

yea that was the same thing i was thanking icecream about power to the rear seats. but i'll get you guys a pic of it. also does any one know how to remove the battery tray? i have been out side doing some more moving stuff around and now i need to get the battery tray out for a minute but idk how.

 

[honhon]

couple of bolts under the battery IIRC, i had to remove it when i installed my tranny mount.

oh thats gonna be part of my tuck also i dont know if i mentioned it but im gonna relocate the battery to one of the lower front fenders and it'll be an odyssey battery.

 

[Klondike]

one of those tiny batteries?

you guys are really making me want to do this, i keep seeing the pics and how clean its gonna look, and after seeing matts engine bay i think i should do that as well, i dont plan on ever getting a engine cover, id rather see the valve cover

 

[honhon]

yeah, they are the small ones, IIRC the odyssey i want weighs only 13lbs.

More Tuckage

Ok so i was out side again yesterday. and this is what i came up with.

and just so that every one knows i did not removed my cruise control it is still there. Also all of this has been done and i am still yet to cute the wring harness or removed any body parts (fenders bumper)

 

[06Roush]

ok and now on to my questions. haha never fails every time i start doing more work i end up with more questions.

how do i remove this braket? because if i do i will be able to hid the big black harness that you see in the side of the pic.

also do you think that 4 gauge wire would work for a battery relocate?

and for hon hon and icecream the mystery plug. i have since named the plugs. one is named john doe, and the other is named jane doe.

and the plug all ready for its close up.

 

[Klondike]

are there wires going into the head of the plug, from what i see its just plastice? like a temporary cap?

 

[06Roush]

nope not a cap its an actualy plug, kinda like all of the ones i was finding under the hood. but were the other side of this plug is i do no know. and it bothers me a little.

 

[honhon]

do you have ABS? the wiring has a big donut on it, so the plug goes threw the floor board outside somewhere, only thing i can think of is ABS at the moment.

and the bracket, sinse it is smooth around the areas where its resting on the body, im gonna guess spot welds. or maybe its pinched between the body and the tranny mount.

its hard to say without myself looking at it actually in person, i like the CC relocate, looks clean, you should zip tie the cable out of the way, its poking from behind the headlight, thats given me a good idea about relocating CC instead of deleting it... but ill see down the road.

and 4gauge may be enough, maybe 2 guage just to be safe.

 

[06Roush]

yea i was gonna just take the cc off yesterday but could not figure out how the to removed the cable so i just put down there. yea i need to move the cable. i also was able to hide my hid balast down there with the cc module. when you changed your trans mount did it come off? the part that the battery tray mounts too? and what are the four bolts for in the middle of it? the two pics i show are of the same piece it was bolted to the body but i was trying to take it off but i couldn't so i just put it back to geather. and does any one know how hard removing the front bumper is?

 

[honhon]

front bumpers are typically pretty easy to remove, just gotta find all the clips and such.

and i cannot remember when i changed the mount, its been a while now.

 

[06Roush]

dang, by any chance know of a how to for the mount? i tried looking for one for the tray and no luck. maybe if i find one for the mount i will find my answer. idk. i'll nose around later but right now its time for me to get some sleep.

 

[honhon]

basically, support the tranny with a small floor jack. then remove those 5 bolts and the tranny mount will come out. then you can start playing from there on how to get the bracket loose from the car.

 

[Waffles ZX3 Kona Sport]

Damn Roush, that looks sick and freakin clean man! Can't wait to see the finished product!

 

[06Roush]

thanx honhon, and thanx for the compliments waffles. i think the next time it gets warm i might pull the front bumper off and mess with the braket/mount to see if i can not get it to were that whole wire haress is hidden, because that one there is the one that has all of the wires for the cc,headlights, fogs, horn, and the fans, from what i have found so far.

 

[zx360]

where is that plug located in the car? ill go see what mine looks like and take a pic

 

[06Roush]

in the back floor boards on both sides. right be hind the bar that the front seat belts are conected to. there in both corners.

 

[zx360]

k ill go take pics
