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

Re: Lets try this again...My 4dr GSR Build Thread
Mmm not really. Work has been keeping me pretty damn busy. The motor will be in the car this week though, garuntee'd. I am tired of having a nice bay and a nice motor, but not having them combined lol.
If you want an update well then, my ITR throttle cable and bracket arrived today!

Re: Lets try this again...My 4dr GSR Build Thread
^^Thank you!
6/14/10: I had finally had enough of the motor sitting on the engine stand. So with today off of work, I decided to do something about it. The fun started around 530pm, had to put the flywheel and clutch on, the transmission to the block, and make 1 last min run to autopart store for of all things...sockets lol.
Anyways pretty excited to finally see it down in the bay so excuse all the pics lol
Motor and trans bolted together and ready to go:
After that it was time for her to go in (my dad lending a hand):
A little sweating, grunting and pushing (no not having a baby or sex) and she was in the car!!!:
Huge thanks goes to the following for lending a hand:
My Dad
Nick Oman
Nick Bailey
Matt Pound
Jordan Noblick
Max and Manny (hey someone had to supervise)
