hey ctv its been a while but I have been collecting a few parts for this build and deciding how I really want to build this j swap.
recently i acquired a rhd clip from ATS Motorsports shout out! I also picked up a set of Klutch Republik wheels mounted with wheels mint.

I did research on POR-15 and heard good stuff, I am going to use this stuff the the fender well and consider the complete cabin floor with the firewall.

For the transmission i picked up a cl-s 6 speed with 87,000.
this is the j32a2 with 137,000

I got a lot of motivation from a lot of builds I have been seen completed from my friends and members on this site. I have been losing sleep over this and its going to be worth it.
managed to get a few goodies from chasebays
an fuel line kit, harness, ecu, brake booster delete. i also have an s2000 clutch master cylinder



here are a few suspension pieces I powdercoated silver.

finished. I still have to install bearings hubs and bushings. no rush!

started the dash (4/s hit me up).

removed.

removing everything else.

everything basically removed. you can see I still have to remove floor mat

side view of the material that still needs to come off the floor. there is a solution

dry ice and elbow grease it is/ ($12 for 5lbs)

i didnt have any more funds for dry ice so I removed the rest with elbow grease. threw everything away and vacuumed what i couldn't pick up.

harnesses. i deleted the abs and srs and removed the wires

everything reloomed, looks better in person and once its all tucked.

me and my pops removed the windshield


i spent some nights removing the seem after work. to make the least amount of noise i just used a propane torch a scraper and elbow grease.

started removing spot welds for stuff i dont need in the bay and the mount to replace to a j series

removed still need to go some grinding by will save that until im ready to do the engine bay.

removed the headliner, wires have to be routed to the opposite side

did some prepping on the weld areas. its important to get them cleaned to the weld penetrate but at the same time i have to be careful not to burn any hole through because it can weaken that area. also did a quick video so you all can be more progress at different angles.

seam sealer is added

hood latch relocated to right side and welded on

seam sealer added in the wheel well, it will look a lot better when the por-15 is added.

you can see the seal in the engine bay and i also began to shave the engine bay

Havent updated over a year since I bought my first house I haven't had the time to work on this. But the build continues.


and more rust. most people would have given up seeing this.




passenger side cut up and tig welded


completely fused

after patience this is outcome


donor driver quarter and rocker I found at local yard. picked it up and did the work on spot welds.

was not gonna cry about this little hole since mines was much worse


more rust behind rust, **** it




after welding and sprayed rust protection on welds

welds grinded down



the best I could do with this section

small tacks to hold this section should be enough

sprayed some primer

Body work has been done weeks ago just in time before the weather changed and the integra is back in the garage. all paint outside has been stripped with fiber disk so it didn't dig into the metal. It still hasn't been primered until the mounts are completed.
Intake manifold removed to remove the automatic uncut engine harness.

Here you the see the transmission and the clutch/flywheel which were a craiglist score for $150.

3 years just to get to this point. The engine is in and the mounts are being made. Engine bay was resanded so I can respray everything.


Driver side mount. I had better tig days

rear mount

transmission mount, not done yet because I'm adding support towards the bottom


1/2 bolts nuts from lowes


Will be adding a front mount after.
These brackets will look real nice when I powdercoat them in chrome. Total cost to build my brackets was $40 in steel sheet and a few hours a day.

Did some final work to mounts and brackets before the motor comes out to spray the car.
Here you see the front mount

modified radiator support and tucked rad.

shortended cut and re-welded rear mount

welded a plate extend this mount and made the engine sit completely straight.

close up of modified radiator support and front mount

this is a modified rear camber i cut off and drilled out holes
