#346752 Been busy the last few weeks haven't had time to assemble the front brakes but put together some custom carbon fiber mirrors to replace the eBay spoon mirrors that constantly change position.

I also added a AC Autotechnic fuel pressure gauge

Thanks… The mirrors turned out better than I could hope for, they don't change position at all.

Haven't updated in a while, Someone hit my car and dented my hood, chip the paint off the bumper and broke my fog light cover.
Image

Image
The very next day I was driving and my camber kit on the driver side broke while I was doing 45mph. It banged the shock tower and then the steering wheel started to shake really bad.
Image
So to make sure that never happens again I ordered a set, where the camber plate mounts underneath of the control arm. I also cut some back plates to go underneath the bolts. The camber kit I ordered kind a looks like this…
Image
I also fixed a coolant leak and my exhaust manifold gasket that was leaking. I got my brakes put together but I'm waiting till I have a day off work because I need to change to my spare transmission, because input shaft bearing is going out.

#347986 Picked a set of billet motor mounts off ebay for $55 shipped. I will only be using the driver side and the rear because I already have an auto to manual trans mount. I also picked up the three bolt engine bracket off an integra for the driver side.

#348319 I haven't got the mounts installed yet because I'm having trouble breaking loose the crank pulley bolt. I've tried a Mac tools cordless impact, A pneumatic impact (I don't think the compressor was big enough), and a breaker bar. I am going to order the Honda crank pulley tool, hopefully that works out. I was able to install a black front tow strap. I like the way it looks.

Image

I also put together my voltmeter, Using the stock clock housing.

#355090 So its been awhile since I've been on the site but I'm back. I finally figured out my axle problem, when I had the bearing pressed in the shop that installed it didn't put anything behind it when they pressed it the inner race came out some which caused the axle nut not to be able be torqued down all the way. So I got a new bearing and had a friend press it in and every thing went together smooth. After a few test drives the car wasnt stopping as well as i hoped for, a friend suggested I change to a integra brake master cylinder and booster.

upgraded integra brake master and booster

Image

Image

I chilled out with the car for a bit, until I ran into an old friend who was in to Hondas when i last seen him. He told me he still had a Honda an H22 Del sol. Which gave me some motivation to start messing with the car again.

Image

We went to a few local meets, which always seem to have good turn outs
Image

I picked up a bra for the car and some hood vents which will be installed soon
Image

I will have some more updates very soon...
Untl then here are a few pictures of the car

#355162 I did a little cosmetic work to the hatch this weekend, I installed a set of Aero Catch hood fasteners and also installed one of my hood vents. It took a good amount of time to install since I had one chance to get it right.
Image

All cleaned up and back together

Image

I also picked up a new fiberglass spoon style wing on ebay for $30, It came grey primer but I sprayed it gloss black

Image

I went with a few friends to a local monthly car meet called "cat backs and turbos" they had all types of cars from muscle, show cars, street cars, and the Crown Victoria's on 30" rims..... I didn't take any picture but you can find them on facebook if you want to see someof the cars

#355471 not much of an update
installed a rear lip

after installing the spoon rep wing I lost the 3rd brake light, so I ordered a f1 style 3rd brake light and custom mounted it to keep the car legal....

#356653 Its been a few weeks since I lasted posted, since then I spun a rod bearing in the z6.
Image
While the motor was out I got rid of the power steering lines and added a solid rear mount.
Image
Image
The motor that's in there for the time being is a d15b1, it runs well for what it is...
Image
I Also finally got around to installing my volt meter, it came out good in my opinion..

I also started working on a rear difusser, this is just a cardboard mock up. Soon to be made of aluminum to keep the weight down.
Image
Image

I went to Tuner Evolution's Panda Junction fall meet....
here are some shots from that day

#356929 The cardboard mock up of the diffuser fit really well, so I made one out of aluminum and welded some custom brackets to the spare tire well and bolted one to the sub frame brace....
Image
I didn't rivet it together so every section is replaceable if anything ever gets bent
Image
Image
mounted to the frame of the car
Image
I really wasn't feeling the sliver so I painted it black and added some "speed holes" on the sides of the rear bumper
Image
Image
I think that it turned out well, its really easy to remove if I ever need to take it off. I haven't tested out yet at higher then highway speed but I like the look of it... here are a few random shots

#358926 Haven't been on here in a while, I've been trying to piece together a new motor since I can't deal with how slow the d15b is. I've done a few things to the car lately but nothing major. Picked up 5 gsr wheels with tires for a pretty good deal
Image
Got a new wide view mirror, much bigger the carmate one I had before
Image
Image
Been working on a new gauge and push button set up, not sure if I'm going to go with it or not
Image
Image
Also got some new tail lights sine mine were cracked, red and smoked.
Image
Picked up an r-fab shift knob
Image
I installed a set of brake ducts and a top one license plate tilt
Image
