Sorry for the lack of progress, have been working on the car here and there when I get time and am not too tired and lazy to work

Got the window cowling all cleaned up



Used the product Back to black by Meguiars and it came out looking real nice



Made some progress on the suspension as well

Got the front upper control arm mounts all repainted, also got new nuts for them



And installed



New hardware in the bay



Got the front lca's all cleaned up and ready to install



Got the lca's up



Shortly followed by the front spindles



Lightly tightened the tie rods and the brake lines down until the coilovers go on

Also got the sway bar all cleaned up and ready to go on, should go up here soon



Next step was the rear trail arm bushing install



Refreshed rear trailing arms ready for bushings



Borrowed a tool from yeezy, thanks again man



More on those soon too lol

Stay tuuned

just read all 54 pages.

1. my 1st honda was a MR gsr so this is close to my heart. GREAT BUILD.

2. Did you buy the EK harness grommet new? or did it come off a used harness. I tried to buy it new but the grommet comes on the harness, so all i recieved was the plate. Just wondering.

thanks in advance,

keep up the good work

Thanks for the words man. I got mine at a local wrecking yard.



Got some more work done on the suspension today. Bro-in-law was nice enough to give me a hand, thanks again Jack

Back to the rear trailing arm bushings..

Got trailing arms pressed back in, bushing tool was a HUGE help, thanks again Yee!



Had to lube the bushing mounts up before putting them in



Using P.N.9.11109



Went in nice and smooth, then got the toe link with new PIC bushings installed



Installed


(don't mind the stock upper control arm waiting on my rear camber kit to get here)

Now that all that was up I tossed the rotors on

Front



Rear



Was so excited to see pretty much all the suspension up I had to toss the NT03's up for a preview



Still need to get some tires, but am havin a tough time deciding on size

Didn't know how the wheels were gonna look on the car, but I'm pretty happy with them so far. Plus I got them for such a good deal I'm definitely gonna hold out and see how they look with tires



Next up is cleaning the e-brake cables, getting the calipers/pads on then hooking them up to the new lines

Looking good bro! What size are the wheels? Im assuming 16x7? In which case a 215/45/16 would be a good tire size.

Ohh dont forget to compress your suspension before tightening any bolt that goes through a pivot bushing. Too many people tighten them at full droop and end up with torn out bushings.

Doing work Coop! The suspension components turned out so well, totally worth it in the long run. I think those wheels will end up looking excellent.

Now let me get my Rotary on that thing to get the OEM paint flawless.

Thanks man! The wheels are 16x7 +32. I'm trying to decide between 215/40s and 215/45s. Have always been unhappy with the tire size I've decided on in the past so I'm hopin I find one I like this time around

Wrd, bro in law was tellin me the same thing. Might be getting some Spoon coils to put it down on

Thanks man, I was skeptical about them at first, but I think they are gonna look mean on the ground. Still unsure of tires most likely BFGoodrich TA KDWs, Bridgestone RE01s or Direzza Star Specs

Thanks for the words man. Do you mind tellin me whats so bad about poly RTA's, just cuz I honestly don't know. I got them cuz they were very affordable and said they would be a good upgrade compared to stock.

I don't know him personally yet, got to know him online, but he was nice enough to let me borrow his RTA tool without even meeting me. Real good dude IMO
