I played Legion Baseball in highschool during the summer. We played a team called the Hicksville Legion my jr year, we laughed at the name, hehehehe, they thumped us 17-2!

3/12/10: I went and visted a friend today that I hadn't seen in a few weeks. While at his garage I started looking around to see what random parts he had haha. Laying on the floor was a manual rack, a little whealing and dealing later and I came home with it, he got 1 of my Aeromotive Fuel Filters in exchange. I was originally planning to just loop the power steering line and keep the power rack, but for what it cost me its well worth just putting the manual one in there instead. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0070.jpg

3/12/10: Another day off work meant another day of doing stuff to the Integra. It wasn't a whole lot, but every little bit helps in the end. I took my Innovative Mounts up to my dads friends shop and pressed the bushings out. After that I headed straight to the powder coater to drop them off so they can be color matched to my valve cover. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/mounts.jpg After that I came home and put the most important and badass mod on the Integra. Yes folks the Baby On Board sign lol: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/babyonboard.jpg

Linky no worky for me

3/11/10: I had the day off today and the weather here was absolutely perfect to work on cars, so thats what I did. I started by removing the fusebox from under the hood, stock fuel filter and evap canister from the engine bay as well. After that me and my dad installed the twin walbros. Let me tell you, those things are a whore to get in the stock tank. We had to remove each bracket, drop the arm and pump down in 1 at a time, move the hose around to get it from twisting the bracket. After some muscle, grunting and a few choice words that pumps are in. Also for those of you that plan to go with the full blown setup, twist the 2 red wires together and connect them to the yellow wire on stock harness, the 2 blacks twist together and connect to black wire on stock harness. Pretty simple but might save someone time down the road. I plan on making a thread for wire tucking as well or atleast group everything together in this build thread once I start doing the whole tuck. But for now i'll show you some of the progress: Here is the fuse box installed in the car from the get go. Start by removing the 3 screws that hold it into place. There is 2 in the front and 1 up on the firewall attatched to a mounting bracket: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0058.jpg After you get the box unbolted lift it up and flip it over. The box is actually 2 pieces and the wires simply de-teach at that point: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0059.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0060.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0061.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0064.jpg After removing the harness pull the box out and thre ya have it. You are now ready to relocate it inside the car: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0065.jpg Like I said I also removed the Evap canister and stock fuel filter while I was under the hood: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0066.jpg Now for the fun part, the fuel pumps. 1.I started by removing the back seat, there is a 10mm bolt damn near in the middle between the top and bottom piece of the rear seat (helms manual does not show you how to remove lower half of seat fyi). 2.After removing the 10mm bolt, lift up on the bottom half of the seat, then slide the seat belt buckles down through their slots. 3. After doing that lift forward to get the clips that hold the seat in place to pry out. 4. Once you have done that remove the 3 phillip head screws that hold the cover over the stock pump. 5. Disconect the stock relay to the oem fuel pump and the remove the 6 10mm nuts that hold the pump into place. 6. Once you have done that take a 17mm wrench or socket and remove the stock fuel line and pliars to remove the other line. 7. With the lines disconnected pull up on the pump to remove it from the tank, it may take a little wiggling but it comes out pretty easily.: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0069.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0067.jpg Installing the Full Blown setup proved to be quite a task. The first thing you will notice is that there is no way in hell 2 Walbros are going to drop down in a stock tank assembled on this hanger. The solution to getting it to fit is to: 1. Remove the 2 allen head screws from both the left and right side brackets that the pumps are attatched to on the hanger. 2. Loosen the clamps that hold the rubber line from pump to hanger head (barbed nipple fittings on the head) 3. Rotate the clamps to allow more clearance 4. Retighten clamps 5. Drop 1 pump in at a time with it not connected to the hanger head 6. Once you have the first pump in there drop the 2nd one down next to it 7. Lower the hanger head down towards the brackets 8. One bracket at a time force the bracket onto the hanger head and reinstall the 2 allen head screws 9. Repeat step on on other side 10. With the 2 brackets installed on hanger drop it down and put the 6 10mm nuts on 11. Take the stock relay plug and cut it off 12. Strip the Yellow and Black wires 13. Take the 2 Red wires, twist them together and connect them to the Yellow wire, this is your power 14. Take the 2 Black wires and twist together then connect them to the Black wire, this is your ground 15. The pumps are in!! http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0068.jpg

3/1/10: Gotta start the month of right lol, tonight I placed my order with Gearspeed aka Synchrotech Inc. What did I order you might ask, well let me tell you what I got: 1-5 synchros 1st/2nd brass 3/4/5 Carbon coated 1-5 synchro springs Counter shaft bearing clip Top and bottom bearings for both shafts Dust Boot Seals http://shop.synchrotech-transmissions.com/BSK-SYN101-Type-R-GSR-B16-Bearing-Seal-and-Carbon-Synchro-KIt-BSK-SYN101.htm

Actually a few people have done it to the 2nd generation crx's. They use the 88-91 Civic Wagovan setup or the CRV setup to do it. Theres a guy on Honda-Tech that has a full 4g63 swap in a 92-95 hatch, anything is possible with the right money, time and know how

When did she get a double chin? Look at the pic of her admiring the ring...id still hit it!

2/25/10: The block fittings that i ordered from Speed Theory arrived today. The quality seems to be very good and the logo on the freeze plug is pretty cool lol. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0033.jpg

That prob doesn't suprise anyone on here Alex!! This is yet another dumb fucking law that makes you say "wow, really, wtf".

Eh not bad, I kinda expected Jegs to be here yesterday, but its fine. Not like they are going on the car right now anyways lol.

2/24/10: Package from Jegs arrives. Nothing major, just the remote battery terminals I had ordered 2 days ago. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0031.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0032.jpg

I knew he was using some form of machine. Hopefully he pulls through, thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. BTW Alex I didn't know Granville had kids his size, no wonder you never saw the field....lol j/k

Just watched this on fox news, he was actually using a machine from what they showed. Freak accident honestly, when I read this in the paper first thing that came to mind was Staffon Johnson from USC

2/23/10: The order for ARP Pressure Plate Bolts placed with Summit yesterday arrived today. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0028.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0029.jpg

post that up on hondatech and odds are itll be gone in a day

yeah i know that lol. I just have it there so it doesn't grow legs and walk away. 2/22/10: Felt like spending some more money lol. So I picked up a set of remote battery terminals from jegs. I am going to be putting my battery in the trunk, but don't want to have to pop it everytime the car needs a jump or battery charged. Still haven't decided just where I am going to mount these, but I got some time to figure that one out.
