Worked on the brake lines a bit tonight

Masked off the fittings and sanded them up before they got a coat of primer



All sprayed up with a coat of semi-gloss black and hung to dry



Probly gonna spray em up with another coat tomorrow

Also got the booster all resprayed as well

Primed:



Painted:


(sorry for the sh**ty pics)

And finally got the rear lines pretty close to where I want them. Just need a little bit more straightening

Brake booster looks good.
Black brake lines were a great idea Should look much better than the originals.

Can you possibly PM me where you purchased the heat shrink tubing/sizes?

Hello Dangerous

Looks amazing so far dude

Thanks guys

I got most of my stuff at a local store down here in Olympia. I also purchased a lot of stuff from partsexpress.com they have a lot of good products go there and look for techflex


Got some stuff installed in the bay today.
- Booster/master cylinder
- OEM ek harness plug
- New black front brake lines
- Heater control switch

Comin out reeaall nice.

Can't wait to see the outcome :bear:

Onto pics...



Booster installed:



OEM ek harness plug (w/ oem hardware) installed I ♥ OEM



Newly coated brake lines mocked up for install

Started with the driver side, rears and master cylinder lines. (Don't mind the rear lines they haven't been coated to match the others yet)



Then passenger installed



That's all for now. All the stuff for the block should be here real soon then head stuff after that

Time for the fun stuff

Wow man its nice for me to finally see the build from the start looking good man.

*Mr.Ej1*

lol I get that all too much in my thread. People will ask something that has been explained on the same page they posted on lol. Too many ppl just look at pics and dont read

Anyways, progress is looking great. I really like the OEM EK haness plug. SICK!

TEG_UR_IT

loving the build more everytime I read this. I would want to do all of the things you are doing to your car on my car but I just don't have enough patience. Only if my motor blew then would I think about doing all this, or if my motor needs a rebuild haha. Looking great man! two thumbs up!

*Mr.Ej1*

and being a dick owns you sir.

9KRevLimitDC2

Really? It was truthful. Your lazy and refuse to read. However, this thread does not need/deserve BS arguments.

racing_reject_001

agreed this build is flawless.....except for the fact i am very jealous lol and wish it was mine lol

Great idea on the OEM ek harness plug

skipunk4

Haha thanks man

Thanks man. This weekend was a nice get away from all the car/work stuff

Haha I'm probly one of those people who used to post stuff like that in your old eg thread. That tread was the ****! You got any pics of that last buildup you did on it hid away you might wanna send my way?

Thanks man. I didn't know what to do when my motor went. It wasn't that good of timing and it was a stressful month, but then I got motivated and started sellin all my old more expensive parts like the regas and the recaros to fund this build that I am on now. And I can't be happier with how its going. This new promotion at work is gonna make it that much better. Thanks for looking. can't wait to get it done

Thanks for the words man

I can't wait to see em all installed! The rears are still kinda wavey but i dont know if i can get them any better haha

Haha thanks man. In due time

Thanks man. Just peeped your thread and you got pm


So I've been on vacation for the last couple days. Went over the mountains to try and get away from some rain.

Didn't have any time to update you guys before I left. so I got a pretty big one for ya

Got the new to me B18C1 all disassembled and ready for the machine shop.



Block was already super clean and I'm assuming had real low miles.



There was no lip on any cylinder so they will just be getting a light hone for the new pistons.

Taking the block and the crank to the machine shop tomorrow for a hot tank deck surface and polish.

Got some oem PR3 pistons from a local buddy for a good deal and OEM Honda rings are on the way

Here's a pic of the old gsr piston (9:5:1 est. compression w/ B16 head)



And here's the new PR3 piston (11:5:1 est. compression w/ B16 head)



Notice the difference in crown size between the two

Also got a little work done on the car. Mostly painting and undercoating but it's somethin

Masked off the firewall to undercoat the lower center portion



Finished undercoating the wheel wells and cleaned the brake lines up real good before re-installing them



Also gave the front lower center portion you see through the bumper a nice coat of semi gloss black so it doesn't stand out and is unsightly



Masked the backside off and laid some semi gloss on it as well



And lastly lightly sanded the tow hooks and laid a coat of semigloss on them

Before:



After:



Installed:



Still waiting on some stuff in the mail. Will be updating you guys shortly

B18C_eg

Just rolling through your build and found this post. Out of curiousity, did you pick these off a guy w/ a blue del sol? If so I sold him one of those!

racing_reject_001

dirtyharryhatch

This car is going to scoot. All while looking fresh as all hell. I envy your persistence. You took a blown motor in stride as if it were a dented header.
