i moved mine. to where the black box for vacume lines used to be.i pulled out wiring to fuse box from in fender. pulled off wheel and worked from there . i had to remove inner fender mud guard and when i pulled out the wiring harness i had to take off a bunch of tape and wire coveringshttp://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp186/gettinthechewin/wiring1.jpg. and ther was like 2 or three clips holdin the wires up. on harness there was four wires holding two bunches of wires togetherhttp://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp186/gettinthechewin/fourwires.jpg. one bunch for fuses and another that went up front further to lights n stuff. i spliced these 3 wires and made them longer and then ran the wires to the fuse box thru the fender where the black box (vacuum) wiring comes thru\http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp186/gettinthechewin/wiringhhole.jpg. i was gonna put it under the dash or somwhere right on passenger side . but have not yet http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp186/gettinthechewin/0116091431.jpg. there are still a couplke of wires right there by the intake going to my msd coil. but im gonna move that and clean the area betterhttp://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp186/gettinthechewin/0116091431a.jpghttp://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp186/gettinthechewin/wiring3.jpg

dayum. you, my friend, are one person that is not afraid to hack the livin shit outta your car for the sake of aesthetics. I seriously have to give you a pile of credit for doing all that you are. Very cool to see someone else going the extra mile for their car.

It's scary to see your photochop in your sig, b/c it's so close to a drawing I did about 8 years ago for my hatch. Damn, now I gotta go digging to see if I can find that damn drawing.... I'll be back.

Have you looked into wedging that box either right in the fender cavity, or under that cowl where the wipers are? Keep it up man.

that looks easier than on a RHD accord haha. but then again on mine i relocated the fuse box to behind the dash so reeally had to modify the loom. i believe those wires you extended where only for the pop-up light motors (which by the looks of your car, would be useless to you) oh and the radiator fan. just guessing :) good work you've done there

thanks for the comments guys. i was goin to move it to under the dash somewhere out of the way , but im not sure if i got enough room anywhere yet.i dont have an ac tho. does anyone know if there is something for the ac in the dash. ive read i think that there is but dont know. and i may try to check out the area by the ws wipers and see what ive got there. . im not afraid to tear the car up cause i paid 200 for it with 98000 miles and a blown freezplug. . and ive got two more in the driveway. also im gonna clean it back up when im done modifying. so in the meantime it is kinda haggard. plannin. a turbo. megasquirt. electonic distributor. and bore 20/30. over. rollcage. more weightloss. and adjustable shocks.it is handling . and running way better than when i got it a year ago. . also. in seattle there are like 20 sedans, like 10 coups and like 10 hatches on craiglist for around 500 bucks or less.. i saw a 89 prelude 2.0 for 350 with a blown freeze plug. guy said he never got time to fix it. black with a black interior. one dent on drivers rear . i was suprized to see how maany 3geez were on there. .. there was a 87 hatch with 66000 original miles and one dent on the passenger fender that was small. and it was 5000. needed tranny or clutch .

i dont know if this is the same for LHD cars, but udner the passenger side of the dash baord there should be a greyish box, just pull that out (it's for the a/c), if you still use your heater and what not you will need to make a pipe or something that goes from the blower motor to the heater core. but with the a/c box gone there should be enough room to stick a fuse box there
