I do drywall and painting with my dad...far from a baller status job lol. I just know how to hustle my ass off in the Honda parts world, which helps pay for most these parts. I just got lucky having a dad that is big time into cars with more mechanical know how then 99% of the people I have met lol.

Lol I have tried getting out of it time and time again, yet I still randomly collect parts.

 

Oh btw engine bay is painted, sprayed 3 coats on before leaving for the hospital. Dad is at my house in the garage putting another coat or 2 on for me lol. I will try and sneak home this evening to snap a few pics

Haha theres already one in the back window and I have one for the side window where his car seat goes. Now if you wanna buy/install the baby sparco,recaro, simpson car seat then go right ahead!!

 

 

Oh update:

 

5/18/10: I started working on this before heading to the dr's office and finding out we was being induced to have our baby. After getting the gf all settled in at the hospital and her mom showing up I headed home to grab a few things to take back with me and figured might as well spray the bay lol. So 5 coats later this is what it came out looking like, I still have to apply polishing compound but I am going to let it sit a few days and cure out.

 

(be prepared I took a lot of pics, and dont worry about the over sprayed parts, they are all getting replaced anyways lol.)

5/20/10: Well I had to run home and let our dog out, figured while hes doing his business I might as well do work as well lol. Installed my booster delete plate and master cylinder, the Go Autoworks catch can, and my jegs remote batter terminals.

 

The catch can fits pretty good, only issue is one of the holes that holds the can onto the battery tray didnt line up exact so I had to do a little finaggling.

After I got that all installed I decided to throw my booster delete plate on as well as teh wilwood master cylinder

 

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/boosterdelete.jpg

 

 

Then I was looking at the bay and realized that my battery terminals were not going to fit on the firewall due to the catch can. So it was time to figure out where to mount these bad boys. I decided on the 2 little holes that sit on opposite sides of the bay. Just by chance they are the exact size needed to fit the terminals into.

5/21/10: Well we finally got to come home from the hospital today!! It was a little rainy and we had a full house so I figured I would sneak out in the garage and do some work on the Integra with my dad. We got the old subframe and rack out along with all the front suspension and also got the powder coated subframe with manual rack installed.

 

Here is the entire front end completely removed from chassis. Ill be spending tomorrow cleaning/painting suspension parts. I have an extra set of GSR knuckles/hubs coming as well that will be sent out for powder coating.:

Heres the bay with subframe/rack removed:

 

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0365-1.jpg

 

 

I noticed that the paint was a little light where the subframe goes, out of paint and wanting to get this done I sprayed some under coating on the "tunnel". I actually think it makes the subframe stand out more:"

Then it was time to re-install the freshly powder coated subframe, it looks more yellow in these pics then what it really is. In person its the same color as my valve cover which is golden. If you look at these pics compared to what it was just a week ago you'll notice its about 100% cleaner looking:

5/22/10: Well today I woke up and got to work on the car. Started by applying some undercoating to the inner wheel wells. After that I got all the suspension tore apart, cleaned up, primered and painted. I also got the rack bushing cut down to size so it now fits properly, got all the suspension back on the car and even found time to mount my fuel filter.

 

 

Under Coating Applied:

5/28/10: Finding Torco fluids was more of a challenge then I had originally thought. I tried finding it locally to no avail, found 1 place here in Ohio that had it but ultimately decided to order it through PWJDM. Bought 4 liters of break in oil and 3 liters of the RTF trans fluid. Gonna go here later and get my starter tested to make sure its still good, paint it so its fresh and clean, buy my antifreeze and regular oil as well as another oil filter. Hopefully the powder coater calls me later today and says that my parts are done, if they are I will be putting the motor in the car this evening, so keep your fingers crossed!!!

5/28/10: Well the sun went down and so did the heat, it was time to work on the Integra. With the help of my dad we knocked out the brake tuck. I don't have all the pics uploaded so you'll have to wait til tomorrow for finished pics. I did get some loaded though to hold you over. Now before anyone says anything about not running a flare union through the firewall theres a reason for that. We drilled the hole to run the line through and discovered that its right behind the gas pedal, so space is already limited that a flare union wouldnt work for me. I will be putting a grommet in though to hide the hole and to keep the line from rubbing and eventually splitting open.

 

Started by giving the 4040 a fresh coat of aluminum paint to clean it up, even though no one sees it I figured why not lol. Same with the metal bar that goes in front of the AC and Heat boxes.

Here is the T that was needed in order to have front and rear brakes. The willwood MC that I am running only has 1 fitting running off it unlike the stock Honda MC's that run front and rear

Got the 4040 positioned in the cabin and the T mounted to the line running off the Master Cylinder

Speaking of line off the master cylinder, here is the first line we bent up and ran. I am pretty happy with how it came out honestly

Oh and a little more attention to detail...gold bolts to hold the booster delete in place
