DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 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.) http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0347.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0348.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0349.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0352.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0353.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0354.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0355.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0357.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0358.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0361.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0362.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 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. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/catchcan-1.jpg 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. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/negativeside.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/positiveside.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 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.: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0364.jpg 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:" http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0366.jpg 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: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0367.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0370.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0368.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bads2k Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 you say you have to put on the polishing compound on it still. What is that for or going to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 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: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0373.jpg Suspension All Tore Off: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0375.jpg Suspension Painted and Re-Installed: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0380.jpg Busing Cut to Size and Fuel Filter Installed: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0377.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) 5/27/10: What a hot ass day outside!! Decided to clean up my transmission in hopes of having it in the car by this weekend. Also going to order my trans fluid, oil for break in and oil to run after the initial breakin, anti-freeze and some brake fluid. Transmission Before: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0381.jpg And after 2 coats of high temp aluminum paint: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0384.jpg Edited May 28, 2010 by DaddyBuiltRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 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!!!

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 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. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0394.jpg 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 http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0393.jpg Got the 4040 positioned in the cabin and the T mounted to the line running off the Master Cylinder http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0395.jpg 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 http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0396.jpg Oh and a little more attention to detail...gold bolts to hold the booster delete in place http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/101_0385.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhett Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I just clicked on your build, not a very big fan of the 4dr GSRs but man this looks like it is going to be a great car! So far Good Job Mang!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Thanks. I used to hate 4dr Hondas as well, now I won't own another 2dr lol. Wish this heat would go down so I can tinker on the car for a while, gotta finish up a couple things on the brake lines and thats all done.
