It's been a couple weeks since I posted last. I finally got around to a few little things. I fixed the shifter rattle against the exhaust, prepped my GSR trans to hopefully install this weekend, got my other tires in finally. I'll leave a couple pictures here so this doesn't get boring.

I need to measure my ride height at the jack points, and the car will probably get raised a bit. I'll probably go for around stock Type R height. I also need to check my sunroof drains because I woke up to about 3 inches of water in back this morning

Finally got in the shop to replace my clutch and toss in the GSR trans I had lying around. Took my sweet time with it but it's done. Turns out the noise was coming from the throwout bearing.

Just off-loaded a few parts from old builds and this one. Sold a few spoilers, including my Mugen rep, and got a Type R spoiler en route to be here next week!

Not much of an update, but progress nonetheless. A couple months ago I ordered an hid kit from TRS, best decision I've ever made as far as lighting is concerned. PnP kit, and it's damn nice. Also bought a fender roller, 10mm spacers, and extended studs. Just gotta find the time to adjust the suspension and install everything.

just landed a good deal (in my opinion) on a factory R spoiler from a place that's local to my hometown. Great condition, Championship White, and getting picked up tomorrow ! will have it painted R-81 and get my rep sold soon. Also made my own license plate angler based on the ones that Top1 motors sells, for quite a bit less dough, will post pics soon

Currently considering trading my front end for a 94-97, but maybe just buying one so I can swap as I please. Or maybe I'm just rambling to people on the internet.

The car is now 2/3 of the way in becoming a Honda, got one more emblem at home to stick on later. Installed the new OEM Type R wing last week, and picked up a clean bumper and lights from a 94 teg. As soon as the Si-VTEC lip and new tow strap are in I'll paint them and toss everything together!

Little bit of a parking lot hit and run last night, except I watched her hit my poor teg and leave damage isn't too bad, just waiting to hear from her insurance. Got my last honda badge on and it confused the officer becuase he was looking for an acura

The past couple days have been pretty successful. I just wrapped up painting my 94 bumper, and have the Si VTEC lip installed. I'll get around to swapping front ends this weekend!

Not an update on the teg, but I don't really care. Got to my dad's shop to work on my front end swap and a friend of his walks up. "There's a Skyline out back, check it out before I deliver it".






Fresh off the boat earlier this week. RB20DET. Runs smooth, needs a bit of work. Too bad it was already purchased.

I didn't get any before shots from cleaning my headlights, but I got some good after shots. I'm really happy with how the 94 front looks. I've probably got 10 hours or so in prep and paint, and it still needs a good wet sand and polish. Bondo filler primer, Duplicolor Perfect Match R81. and Krylon clear coat.
