How much does a wire tuck cost

Depends alot on how much you want doing tbh Shane. Wire tucks can vary quite alot depending on how far you want to go with it. If you want to get it done in Ireland your best bet would be too take it to a few different places and get some quotes then post them up and see what's what. Your number one priority should be finding somewhere decent though, and preferably familiar with Supra's or you may end up walking away with a bill in your hand and faults in the car that weren't there prior.

Not worth the hastle it will only end up costing you a lot of money unless you do it yourself and you will end up with problems. I wouldnt go down that route again, I would tuck the aux loom under the wings thats it. Maybe remove some simple parts like the charcoal cannister but once you start with it all it becomes addictive.

Like Pringles, once you pop you just can't stop

I think it looks amazing if it's done right. It just finishes the bay off nicely with all the ugly wiring hidden away. There's a few bays in the club that look exceptional IMO and the tucked wiring just finish them off very tastefully.

But I am a little bias I suppose ;)

Whilst I fully appreciate the work people put into these engine bay customising jobs is it really worth spending a lot of money on aesthetics like this when what most Supras really need is a new engine bay loom, as the old one is tired with broken connector shells, loose and corroded terminals, fraying loom tape wrap, and years of gizmo adding, fiddling and abuse? It's like people bolting single turbos on engine's that are really wanting a full rebuild as they are already tired and in their dotage. Plus, if a fuse blows putting the lights out on the motorway, do you really want to be stripping down the front end of the car to get on your way again? Or are they all show Queens with no need for practicality to be considered? Just my 2 bobs worth ;)

fusebox is put in the boot bud :) , well thats where mine would be i wouldnt put it under the headlight

 

Same, battery and fuse box in the boot. PS pump to the front. Just want to hide the wires though, not too fussed about the rest yet (until I get some shiney bits)

I think I'll be fuse box and battery in the boot soon and maybe hide the igniter, and drivers side relay box for the nice clean look!

 

Is there any downside to ditching the charcoal canister?

 

There's a few thread's about charcoal canister removal, have a search. From reading some of them if you don't vent the pipe under the car the fuel smell can get inside the car.

 

That seems to be it.
