Flynn Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 What exactly is involved in the £600 tuck? Is it just massively labour intensive to be so expensive? Not knocking the price it's just something I'd planned to do diy and now I'm thinking it's a way bigger job lolThanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Smoothing and filling involved too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 What exactly is involved in the £600 tuck? Is it just massively labour intensive to be so expensive? Not knocking the price it's just something I'd planned to do diy and now I'm thinking it's a way bigger job lol ThanksBattery relocation to the boot is approcimately £100 for the cable and connectors required. not to mention youll probably need a new sealed battery as its not advised to run a vented one inside the cabin, so thats probably another £80 or so. Rear mounted battery done properly also wil require additional earths in the bay. So thats probably a cost of £40-50 for the cabling to remake the earths. So were already up to £250ish in materials. I would imagine its pretty labour intensive removing and refitting the loom a couple of times is an hour or two, and then the actual work of shortening it. Plus the fact that every one will be custom by the time you factor in different gauges and controllers etc baring in mind this will be the first time they are faced with the car so everything aftermarket will require looking up digrams/tracing back and testing with a multimeter. I actually dont think the price is that crazy for offering this as a proffesional service, although if you have a long weekend and your handy with a soldering iron it is probably something you could do yourself. But for those who dont want to take the risk/spend the time I personally dont think its too far off the money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi Flynn,I think Trisk has summed it up well. (Thanks mate ) The labour involved is fairly monumental, for someone that's done it a couple of times now it's not just a case of a few wires like fitting a boost controller or the like. You also need to account to run the wires and mount the fuse box inside the cabin the dash also needs to come out which further adds to the already suggested above.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Firstly as I said I'm not knocking the price I am just genuinely interested in what's involved. From reading a few past threads on wire tucking I knew it would be heavy on the time element but wasn't sure what extra parts needed getting. My brother in law is a spark (& his old man) so will get him involved. Thanks for the info and good luck I'm sure lots of people will use you guys! Great to see an active trader on here again!Cheers Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Agree this is a service that sees value for money. If you think the price is steep then you simply have no idea how much work is involved. I really look forward to seeing the reviews and the before and afters for customers. Great service imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Such a great service and at a competitive price, great work guys........ out of interest how long would you need the vehicle to complete this roughly ? James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It'll vary on each car but at least 7 days as an average. Some will be quicker some will be longer. Thanks, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Si@Fiske Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 No problem at all. We can do literally anything you want, make it as mint as you want, you tell us what you'd like and we will do the rest. The pictures from our demo glanza as pictures also had the ABS removed which makes a world of difference in our opinion, not only does the oe system clog up the bay - weighs alot - the system doesn't work very well at all. PAS was also removed which tidies everything up and If you wish to retain this we can fit an electric power steering system! RegardsSimon nice one buddy cheers for this it could be middle of summer 2017 if this is ok as car is parked away for winter i.e do you mean things like ancillary pipes clean the engine ?

MR-2 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Horrible job to sort out only engine related looms from EE100 Corolla, trying to do simple 4E-FE swap to EP70 Starlet, keeping part of original looms for lights, wiper, blower, clocks, etc. Free bump for your services, sounds cheap when thinking how much time these kind of jobs takes, not for beginners.

Si@Fiske Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thank you for the bump and kind words MR-2, it is kindly appreciated! I agree, wiring can be a nightmare and extremely easy to make basic mistakes, as you say experience is key! I hope you manage to get your project sorted and let me know how you get on and if need any assistance! Best wishesSimon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
