That's right folks, you don't need to do it. Consider this pic of a stock 6th gen Celica wiring harness laid side by side with a Dr Tweak 3SGTE/6th Gen wiring harness (this harness is plug and play and uses the stock hole in the USDM 6th gen firewall):

Only a few plugs need to be extended, around 10 or so wires.

Just another reason to leave the headache behind and send your wiring harnesses to Dr Tweak smile.gif

wrapping it up with wire loom is KEY to have a clean and OEM looking setup...sumthing i've noticed on a few harness done by external people..harness wasn't wrapped well/if at all


its my undestanding that tweak dosnt do this, and leaves it up to the customer.

abel all your plugs where they go, get a wiring book for both cars
a good crimper, connectors and shrink wrap along with loom will do wonders


you make it sound so easy. it really is a lot of work, and head scratching.

That's correct, I have thought about offering it as an option, but it's easy to do, so I can keep the price lower for the customer. Looming the harness and taping it up isn't hard, just time-consuming. Personally, I always loom the harness AFTER installing it, it's a little harder to get to but it helps because first you can route it however you wish, makes the final product cleaner.

Hanyo and phattyduck, thank you smile.gif
