i got the idea from Karl Withers routing the harness over the passenger side arch.

not only would this mean no worries with repinning, but also ment cabin side everything plugged in at it should!

first up, remove the harness, this is from passenger footwell to the ecu.

next up tidying the wiring into the boot.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
i had thought id need to drill another hole, as stock there are 2 holes for the harness, but the new location for the fuse box and ecu, i couldnt use one of them unless i wanted to extend the wiring, and i said from the off i didnt want to hassle with this.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
i soon realised there was potential for the whole lot to fit through the 1 hole!
however it involved pretty much stripping all the old tape/covers off everything engine and boot side, then new taping and bundling them all together.

now one tidy harness through the one original hole.

only tweak ive had to make is to modify the back of the fuse box to take the new angle of the loom

to get to this stage involved ALOT of head scratching!!!
working out how long some connector looms were, how stuff would reach etc.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
hopefully fingers crossed all with be good.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
i still need to
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
;
mount the coil,
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
fit a longer coil lead
tidy and tape/cover up a couple of looms
i have a braided harness sleeve to put on to cover the whole lot from engine to boot
slice an old vac hose to protect the loom on the firewall, as i had to ditch the oem grommet, first try appears to work great.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
in the end i did make use of the 2nd hole by the expansion tank for the ABS sensor, there was not much i could do about this connector to keep it out the bay unless i wanted to drill into the arch liner and arch itself to thread the wire through into the boot, so i made do using the other oem loom hole instead.
