Man, your body work skills can beat my building skills any day. I attempted to restore my old integra, but it didn't match your badass welding and customization skills

Don't hate, I currently have like 0 cash to put into this car, unless I find a job really soon. I really hope I do so I can drive this thing again

Yeah I guess, there are a handful of nice ones here and there but I guess the good ones never get posted.

I actually recently met the new owner of your car, and he's very happy with it. I'm looking forward to seeing the legacy of that badboy continue. Offroading is fun, my dad loves that ****. Always talks to me about his dream TJ lol.

The other site this is on is NWP: http://********.zeroforum.com/zeroth...d=22356&page=1 (change the ****** to NWP 4 LIFE)
Basically the same thing as here, but I don't check on here as often.

Nice! I hate the new change over, it's so much more annoying using this forum.

Word, I have a good feeling you will...this year in Tennessee perhaps?

 

So the past few weeks I put in a lot of work on the car. First off, I wanted to get the outter wiring done, or at least started. So I installed the headlights back on:



The car is starting to look like a car lol.

I ran the harness and plugged in the headlights. As you can see, the harness won't be visable, I still need to sleeve it to hide it some more:



Thanks to the fancy Mercedes HID system, it helps me cover up the wiring a lot more

Battery is now also installed:





But as I soon discovered, this was sitting way too high, so I moved it down about an inch and a half (as seen in the pics pretty much, but one bolt lower. Scroll further down to see)

Then the other brake line was installed:

Only to be taked off to be sent back because the **** nut who sold me these gave me the wrong ones. The rear lines were the incorrect application. When I contacted him, he wanted me to send them back to get them modified and I would be paying for shipping and parts and labour so I said **** it and decided to make the rear lines myself. Basically I got 2 rear lines for some reason so I'll be cutting them and merging them together with a straight fitting.

And some of my harness is installed, thanks to rogue for the labels :bang: Here is how it will look:


Then I also got more bolts and rubber boots from Honda for the linkage. It's ready to be installed, except I kinda ran out of time and I need two more bolts to mount it that I'll pick up from the hardware store. Just need to find the correct pitch basically.


Then I borrowed my buddy's new badass jack that he got, and I was able to lift the car another foot and a half so I can get under it:


With the added height, I was able to get under and remove the exhaust:


Old unit off:

(pics of what's going on is coming soon...nothing to get too excited over though )

Installed newly resprayed towhooks with the brand new bolts I bought for them:


Finally the clutch line is finished and installed, I still need to mount a few tabs here and there in the engine bay to hold that line. I also may shorten it a bit. I'll have better pics of how I routed it down the road:




Hood latch was basically black with grease, and I cleaned it up, installed with new bolts and installed newly cleaned cover back on. Also connected the latch cable and fully mounted it:


Installed my HID ballasts in this neat location:

every bolt hole was drilled out, tapped and I used metric screws


I'm very impressed how well it fit under there, now it looks uber clean.

Also, this is how much lower the battery went. I also grounded the battery and started working on my grounds for the motor:


Distributor is also installed:

Not 100% if it will be cracked open again to get modified before motor gets cranked and tuned however.

So, headlights, battery, dizzy, clutch line, hood latch, hood cable, ballasts are finally installed:


I got some more updates coming a bit soon, the brake lines inside are finally done I need to take pics of that. :bang:

 

more!!!

 

in for this build

 

heres a thread that i havent seen in a while.. nice updates

 

Car is coming along nicely cant wait to see it on the road

 

Thanks guys! I have more:

So today started off with me busting out the "Mugen Barrel"


Brought it over to my buddy's old school, where he had a hook up to let me in to the engineering department. There they had some really nice looks...and a sandblaster :D




After on the left, before on the right


Took out the sealed off centrecap, brand spankin' new


And threw it onto the naked MF10's for a test fit


I still have to blast 3 rims (finished 2 of them so far). Took me 1.5 hours to blast one rim because the glass beads they use there is extremely fine. The benefit is that it doesn't pit, but the downside it is takes forever, especially with spokey rims like these.

 

that wheel came out great are you leaving it that way?

 

Thanks, no if I leave it, it will absorb dirt from the brakes and debree from the road and will look like junk, plus the wheels will oxidize with condensation...so they need to be powdercoated.

 

hell of a build
took some time and watched the whole thread again^^

what color will you powdercoat the wheels now?

greetings from europe

 

I love silver MF's! Looking good man, get some more updates

 

good build cant wait till some updates come around

 

Ha ha, thanks! I'm looking to powdercoating them championship white actually, I have the original Mugen stickers from white MF10L's, so I will be making them look similar to those.

Haha, my favorite mod for my car for sure! Local's love them too, I keep getting asked to lend them out for photoshoots

Updates coming really really soon! Like 2 minutes.

 

Damn for some reason the post disappeared, so I'll put it back up:

I had a ripped steering rack boot, so I had to replace it. Luckily it only happened recently and the car wasn't driven much, so no debree got into the steering rack:



and the new one that went in:



Had the brake lines finished up completely, tested the lines and had no leaks :D
Last of what I had left to do since I last updated this thread was the inside cabin brake lines and I had to install the 4040 prop valve, so here is a pic for those who asked:



Timing belt needed an adjustment, so I had that done, and in the meanwhile decided to take a pic of the new mint rebuilt head:



Finished installing the clutch master cylinder, also while I was at it I had to remove the original S2000 rod and replace it with my D16 unit (could have cut S2000 unit to be shorter, but this was a cleaner install), so that was done via these ghetto snap ring pliers. worked perfectly, and now the clutch master cylinder is installed and bleed.



Alternator and belt were installed:



I found out I have the wrong plug, but I recently picked one up from a friend of mine, so all is good. The plug should be switched this week and the alternator will be plugged in

I also picked up a few brand new grommets, I'm still missing some for the bay but that will be taken care of soon. They look incredibly fresh in the bay though:





Got a bunch of OEM mint condition original bolts in gold



Installed




New slim fan is installed with reveresed polarity so that it spins the correct way (push rather than pull):





Removed, stripped, sanded and recoated in flat black my shell for the interior. All interior brackets had the same process applied to them.

Before:




After:



Then had that shell installed, along with my steering wheel installed:





My front suspension went in, matched the fuel setup PERFECTLY:





Cleaned every little last duct in my interior, as well as my dash and finally installed it since everything was complete, here is the aftermath after a day-long cleaning:



Engine bay almost done, just need to install the throttle body, and intake. I have some grounds I'm making right now for the tranny and cylinder head, more will be posted later this week:



Last but not least, I had the grill installed:







Can't wait 'till it's done! Almost there!!!

 

Dam in im love with this build! keep up the great work

 

this thread died

 

Sorry, I'm still working on the car. It's actually almost complete, I have to post the updates. I'm going to hopefully be starting the car this sunday. Trying to make a huge Honda-Tech local meet that is here in Toronto on the 9th of August.

 

i want an EL center console! SELL ME YOURS

 

I actually have a centre piece of sale, it's not the centre console where the radio goes, but the coin pocket underneath it. If you're interested shoot me a PM and we can working something out. If you really want the centre console, I can most likely get a hold of one for you this upcoming week. Lemme know.
