#345413 Finally found some center caps for my wheels $7.45 for all four, painted and did the vinyl center

Image
Also decided to do 10.2" brakes in the front. Went to the junk yard and picked up integra front calipers to rebuild them. Still have to find the spindles because only the calipers were left on the front of the car.
Before and after shot

Thank you… I'm just enjoying the car


Finally got a round to wiring my tail and fog lights (I made my own harness for the fog lights)
Image
Also the parts fairy came to see me yesterday.
Driver and passenger axles, front pads, rotors, screws for rotors, stainless steel lines, wheel bearings, inner and outer tie rods, extended studs, ball joints, caliper seals, and tie rod boots.

#346116 Picked up some front spindles. Sandblasted them, now waiting to refinish them.
Image
Also picked up GSR front sway bar(24mm) and front lower control arm. I sand blasted them and refinished them with a smoke grey color and new Energy Suspension bushing and new end links.
Image
Hopefully I have time to finish the spindles soon so I could get the bearings and hub pressed in so I could put all these parts on together.
I also refinished the x-brace I made in the smoke grey color
Image
Added side markers (comes on with corner lights and blanks with turn signals)

Image

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
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...

#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
