grest thread, where do you plan to run the engine harnes through the firewall if your keeping heat? and do you a parts list for the brake/ fuel fittings you used?

[Fresh'86]

I'm planning on running it at the lowest point in the firewall, having it come out somewhere around the subframe. I do plan on keeping heat as well. It's going to be a bit of a challenge because I'll also have my prop valve right there.

Also, I do have a parts list, I'll include it in the next few days. I have it saved on my computer somewhere.

hey freshhhhhhh wow the build thread looks sick bro......i cant wait to see it finished....... show me more picturesssssssssssssss good luck bro and keep in touch man.

I picked up a new intake. It's in horrible condition, but thanks to Adam from Weksos, I'll be able to restore it as he will provide me with the necessary sticker and filter. As you can see, I've attatched a note with my user name to provide proof that I own the intake so nobody fakes the funk







The arm is scratched like crazy, the intake came off a JDM RHD SiR-II that was imported here to Canada. The owner said the intake made the sound of VTEC go away so he wanted to get rid of it. I think that was mainly due to the filter being clogged like crazy. Not only that, it's the 1st gen filter, I'm hoping to replace it with a foam 2nd gen filter

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can leave my couplers in over night so that it restores the green colour back? All the black is just dirt, but I don't want to kill the rubber by putting it in something that will kill it. I was thinking acetone or mineral spirits?


Engrish is aewosome!




I can bet $50 that this filter has the letters ARC on it with an orange back on it. I'll buy some K&N filter cleaner and see if i'm right:

Oh no, I'm known as the "polishing king" around here because I used to polish a bunch of wheels for people and random parts. I'm probably the only guy in Canada rolling around on a fully polished ASR bar:


*I also polished that exhaust, and have a set of polished ITR's for the car, but they have no tires.

I just wanted to show pics of the state it's in, because it's going to look brand new soon.

LOL, Yeah a lot of people ask my to do their rims and shit and refinish certain parts, I tell them to just sand it and I'll do the rest People don't realize how much of a bitch it is.

It was probably a bump on my FS: thread if anything, I got my IP banned at my house, and I can only go on from other computers. I talked to Eric about it, but he said he doesn't know what I'm talking about. It's weird because it's the only site that doesn't open on my computer, it just never loads and says it doesn't exist.

Wow man great build. Cann't wait to see it IA this year.

[Ramirez428]

Yeah I want to see what they look like and if they'll fit my car. Keep in mind accord headlights are a similar shape. I'm not sure what these covers are, but they sound like they would be great for track days so I can protect my lights. Shoot me an IM with the pics or I can give you my email if it makes things easier.

Yup, the car was originally primrose. It was silver with a pink tint, same colour that came on 2.2CL's:

I love the exterior colour I picked out, it took me forever to figure out what colour I wanted and this one is just the best IMO

I got the bay coated with a few shots of basecoat:















(and yeah, also borrowed the ITR strut brace from a buddy to see how it would look. I'm thinking of welding up my strut bar holes shut and painting it over, just because I think it looks cleaner and compliments the tuck. However, the ITR bar looks nice, so it's tempting...

[JJ-Built]

since your known for polishing parts around your area... you should polish your whole car.... all the metal pieces..
