How the car currently sits:


I bought it like this (too much)
Its a teal hatch. When I got it it had an ls with a type r trans. I loved the way it ran it would beat all b16's and most gsr's.

So I drove it like this for a couple of months. Me and my buddies went out for night at the track and that was the same night I royaly facked my type R trans that I loved so much. What happened was the divers side mount broke so the T bracket ripped a hole on the bellhousing of my trans. So I got a temporary daily and the build begins!

ARP head studs 22t water pump type r oil pump waiting on gates racing t-belt. For the head I went with a b16 diy port cleanup supertech springs and retainers supertech 7 degree valve locks gsr cams(untill I find some R's or pro 1's) blox cam gears and viton valve seals.

These conversion dowels are awesome because they are tapered at the top so it makes it easier to put the head on without ****ing up the pins.

Sick bay!!

low91rex

Thanks guys the motor and trans will be going in on tuesday. Then I will start prepping the outside of the car for paint.

question for you guys what is the best factory honda black color? Im trying to think which will pop the most with my green engine bay. Im thinking the black off a type r.

elsicario12

i cant wait to see it

ReedMann

iTrader: (11)

FBP for sure.

saul_garcia_619

luv the bay color.
props for the good progress

EF9_TryMe

That is not bad at all. Love the bay!

crx_arturo

updates?

comingupfast

check out my build thread, I have a engine bay that is pretty similar to yours, I can't wait to see how they both turn out!

low91rex

Ok guys I knew I wasn't organized enough for a build thread but Ill post updates in here any way.

Transmission items all from synchro tech transmissions. I highly recommend synchrotech they have great customer service. One of the guys even walked me through the shimming process and final assembly over the phone!



This was the old 3/4th sleeve **** was thrashed that why I decided to change all the synchros and sleeves.





I used an ls case with my ITR internals so I had to grind those fins to fit the lsd.



Don't mind the spare transmission parts on the right



Mainshaft complete



Counter





My holset hx35 not sure if I'm still gonna rebuild and run this one might be a little too big.





More tonight on my wire tuck, god this car takes so long to build.

dsol

looking good! got my attention

EF9_TryMe

Keep going at it.

909Dc2Racer

lookin good i like the bay color

low91rex

So I put the trans and motor in here's a little teaser.




looking back this was my first time painting and shaving a bay, and now I have a better feel for what I'm doing. There's a couple things I would have done differently to make everything smoother. But it is what it is and its my car I'm building it for me and Ill tell you right now its a great learning experience so I'm happy with it. If you're looking at this wanting to shave tuck paint and you've never done it before like me just do it. you will only get better each time you do it.

more updates later.

elsicario12

loook Sick!!

low91rex

Thanks man


I got something today.






I know there not that good but I got it for free for doing a wire tuck on my buddies car. so I'm just gonna use it.

Also got this half shaft from yonaka because the bearing in my old one was ****ed. The shaft is supposed to be 15% bigger and the bearing is stronger. So I'll try it out.





Fitment was perfect after I installed it.

i bet that color will really pop out in the sunlight! nice progress so far.
