There's no need for a writeup since everyone has a different method, and everyone will do it, mount it, and use it differently. It's as simple as removing the box, cutting all the wiring short, then mounting it somewhere else and reconnecting everything. There's a few wires which share colors but a lot of wiring is also deleted if your car truly is a track mule. The best case though is to leave it be unless you're really building a track car and in that case you should build your own harness, devoid of all OE setups. Moving it for the sake of killing time is stupid. I moved it on a few people's cars and they ended up wanting all their OE stuff back and putting a new harness in.

The main reason i did it was because a lot of my friends have already started rubbing through their harness because of the way the factory wire is ran and their cars are super low. I started to get real close to rubbing on the harness so I decided just to move it before something bad happened not because i thought it was "uber cool".

In fact if didnt have such an important purpose for moving it I would have just left it alone beacuse it was a rediculous amount of work and gave me multiple head aches!!
