Alright as for updates...I get a few new things...

First off, I bought my old shift linkage from the same douchebag who sold me the automatic shafts. Since I was buying an ITR shifter from a friend of mine, he threw in the linkages with it. Only bad thing about them is that they had a motor resting on one end, so it's bent up, I'll have to bang it out and bend it into shape. You can kind of tell from the pics. I included a side by side, as you can see the JDM ITR linkage is much beefier:





I was missing a few things for my head, so I borrowed them from another head that was just sitting around, and had to buy them back. Basically o-ring for the head, and a bolt. Also I was missing an alternator bolt, valve cover washer and acorn nut and a flywheel cover:





Picked up a 99-01 JDM ITR spark plug cover:


Also I was told that the new Honda tranny fluid is pretty good, still debating whether I should mix in a bottle of GM Synchromesh, or if I should just stick with Honda fluid only:



4 Gauge wire for the battery relocation:

Still waiting to get eyelets for the battery so I can hook it up.

Just a random fancy shmancy piece:


DEI heat wrap for my harness that will be running somewhat close to my exhaust for now, I'll be running it through my 02 sensor hole:



New bushings:


Originally I had a very beat up brass fitting for my vtec conversion oil line, so I grabbed some russels fittings...kinda shitty, I paid $45 for 3 fittings. I was told brass and aluminum can react with each other, and end up somehow fusing? So it's wise to run aluminum on all aluminum blocks:



(Before on the left, after on the right)




New Magnetic drain plug, it's pretty sweet. From what I can tell, it looks like a spoon replica piece:




Picked up an 'old school wide mirror' off streetwerks, I forgot to post up pics...so far here are the "teasers" I guess:





Still have to clean it and do something about the other side

I finally got my grill back from my friend, I'll most likely run the Domani grill (one on the very top) but I like to keep all 3 in case I want to change things up. Still need one more to have the complete set:

As for this weekend, here are the weekend updates -

How she sat Friday:


Started off with installing fittings to my new AN fuel lines:





A real bitch to do in the cold...trust me. It was around 5F on Saturday *cry*



This was bugging me, so I had to buy that tranny cover:



MUCH better:


Manifold was installed, and I didn't like the way the FPR was sitting, so I modified it, since it's adjustable:





And now, it's facing downwards:




So, installed the intake manifold, fuel rail, fuel lines, Fuel pressure gauge, FPR and TB:


Yes I know, I know, that header will be gone soon, it's just temporary...



New fuel setup:

I know people say don't have the fuel filter hang off the fuel rail, but I've seen it setup like that on plenty of cars, and I've never heard of issues before. Also, the line has some slack, so it pushes back on the filter. I'll keep checking it though, if anything starts to fail, I'll switch it up, I have spare fittings for it too and tons of line left.



The car...how it sits right now:

[Fresh'86]

Ok finally...update!!!

First off, thanks to Zach, aka rogueeg6 for making me these harness labels as per request. *hug*





I ended up finishing wrapping my harness in heat resistant wrap. As mentioned earlier, I didn't want to cut any holes in the firewall, so I'm going to run the harness under the subframe and under the car through the 02 sensor hole.



This new years break, the throttle cable was installed, along with the throttle cable bracket...which was slightly modified to fit, since it was from my B20 head, and the holes didn't exactly line up with the OBDI head, but no one can tell anymore





Also, a quick snap of my new clutch master resevoir I forgot to mention that I got:

(more on that later)

Also, the rad was installed:


Stock for now, will upgrade soon before the big power comes in.

Today I bought all the random hoses and clamps that I needed for coolant lines, etc:



And finally, I installed the header. I got a new heatsheld I will be repainting this week and have installed by next weekend. Should look brand new OEM once I'm done So check back next week for more updates. :bang:

I just read this from start to finish and I can say that I'm very impressed with your work! You pay great attention to detail, which is someone I will admit I sometimes skip over... Keep up the good work!

[oneoffaccord]

Thanks a lot, I guess I'm a little anal, and if I skip something over, I end up thinking about it, and it bugs me until it's perfect. Sometimes I'd want to, but I can't help it.

Yeah I have the build up on NWP4LIFE.COM as well, but I'll still post the updates here. I just don't like using HT as much anymore.

lol, there are nicer cars than this one on JDMR...I'm just trying something different I guess.

I can't believe you sold the hatch! What are you driving now?

[Fresh'86]

I got around to installing the rebar and headlight support beam, everything looks fresh with the new honda bolts:





Installed the new clip for the hood support rod:



Repainted my header heat shield to flat black, to cover up the temporary ugly headers:



The motor as it sits right now: (as you can see, the harness is being installed)



And finally, I got a new shift knob. I bought it off a friend who had it on his car for a long time, as you can tell it's a bit worn out. Special 10th anniversary edition, I'll have it restored and installed shortly.

[Fresh'86]

This weekend a got a couple of things done...car is almost ready to start!!!

Firstly, here was my old brake line setup:


And now:


Full out EARLs brake line conversion from the master cylinder all the way to the calipers I have hardline running everywhere inside the cabin, and in the engine bay, and the hardline in the fenderwell to the stainless flexline. I can't wait to see what my brakes will feel like after this.

Then I finished the setup on the S2000 clutch master cylinder. Bore is 3/8th on S2000 and on my car, the only difference is that the resevoir is connected to the cylinder itself. I will need to adjust the pedal on the inside, but once that's done it will feel exactly the same.



*note: ran a 90* fitting here, but will be changing it up with a 120* fitting that's sitting right next to my car that I forgot about

As the car sits now. All that is left is the upper rad hose needs to be cut, and installed, the harness needs to be plugged up and I need to get that alternator on there. Once that is done, the engine will be running and I still have to finish off a few brake lines inside the cabin, as well as complete the harness for the headlights, fan, and horn.




Also, I found a distributor, I just need to figure out what car it's from, grab the cap and rotor for it and it's good to go for installation :bang:

[pingar]

looking good how far are you from being done?

Not far at all, a few things left on my list of to-do's:

-Finish brake lines in the cabin
-assemble distributor; and install
-finish connecting wiring harness
-install stainless lines on 3 more corners
-install new boots to tie rods (current ones are ripped)
-assemble interior and front end
-polish intake and install (almost done)
-install tow hooks
-extended exhaust to bolt up to headers
-street tune

I'll also be repainting the front end, hood and trunk once all this is done. I got some new goodies going on the front end that I will reveal later on...
