Its coming along. You definately have your work cut out for you. It will be sweet when that car comes to life.

 

Your telling me... I've put a LOT of time into this project already. It will pay off in the end though, I'm getting psyched about it now that I can see my progress.




Another update: Spent the whole weekend on the car. Took apart the tranny and I replaced the synchro's, seals, and bearings. They didn't look bad at all, but since the tranny was so cheap I figured i'd go ahead and do some preventive maintenance. Then I cleaned everything, and painted the case metallic silver, since the previous owner decided to paint it black. I didn't get any pictures of the tranny work though.

Then I had to do the same to my motor so it would match, and I went crazy and painted my valve cover again too.

Here's some pics:





And I threw it in the car!

Valve cover looks pink in these for some reason..













I can't wait to drive this damn thing.

 

lookin sick bro, keep it going, maybe just a few more weekends =P naw, hopefully it can be a nice christmas present to yourself.

 

Thanks for the kind words.

I'll probably have it running and drivable by Christmas, but far from complete. I'm going to get all the body work done and paint it in January, and hopefully have my turbo setup complete shortly after. I won't be satisfied until then.

 

haha no prob dude, if i had the time and money i would love to restore an integra hatch for a weekend car, and leave the 4dr to daily driving *currently what i have* as for paint and turbo, awesome bro, what color you going with?

 

The OEM color, it's super sonic blue pearl. It's going to look pretty much like this, but with OEM optional sides & rear's, and I haven't decided if i'm going wingless or ITR wing yet.

 

car is coming along well, what the advantage of the Avid shift linkage???

 

Nothing at all, the shift linkage on my parts car was damaged in the accident. I posted a WTB ad and a guy offered me the Avid linkage for less than everybody was asking for used OEM stuff.

I assume they made a run of shift linkage to sell with their mounts designed for engine swaps in civics and such.

 

For a second there, I was like wtf? He finished!!!

 

yeah me too wow hahaha that car looks great
