NOW ON TO THE PICTURES
...
..
...


THE DAY I PICKED HER UP (3 HOUR TRIP BUT WELL WORTH IT)



THREW THE BUMPER, GRILL AND LIP BACK ON TO SORTA ASSEMBLE HER WHILE IN THE GARAGE



SOME SHOTS OF THE INTERIOR BEFORE I START CLEANING



BUNCHA EXTRA **** HE GAVE ME WITH THE CAR.. LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE NEEDS ANYTHING


CHANGING THE WHEELS ASAP


YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE IN THIS PIC.. PAINT COMING AS SOON AS I GET THE CAR RUNNING


THE BEFORE THE "TUCK" PIC


SOME MORE **** I GOT OFF OF HIM. i ACTUALLY PICKED UP THE BLOX INTAKE AND GSR TB FROM SOMEONE ELSE ON MY WAY HOME FOR $80..NOT BAD


DIDNT LIKE HOW THESE SEATS LOOKED SO SWAPPED THEM WITH ONES FROM A HATCH THAT I HAD REAL QUICK


CLEANED THE CARPET UP A BIT BEFORE PUTTING THE SEATS BACK IN AND TUCKED THE BATTERY CABLE INTO THE PANEL


LEFT=OLD.. RIGHT= NEW (NOT SURE WHAT CAR THESE ARE FROM THO) THEY ARE DARKER IN PERSON


TEST FITTING THE BLOX INTAKE AND FIGURING OUT HOW THE FUEL AND COOLANT LINES ARE ROUTED. ALSO SEEING WHAT ALL I NEED TO ORDER FROM HONDA


GOT SOME FREE GSR INJECTORS FROM A FRIEND TO GET THIS THING STARTED. NEED TO MAKE A THROTTLE CABLE BRACKET NEXT


THIS STUPID GROUND CABLE WAS ANNOYING ME SO DECIDED TO CLEAN ALL THE GROUND/POWER CABLES WITH SOME THICKER 4GA I HAD LAYING AROUND FOR A CLEANER LOOK


RE MOUNTED THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCK AND RE DID POWER WIRES.. THIS MIGHT BE TEMP SINCE IM GOING FOR THE "TUCKED" LOOK


TRANS GROUND IS DONE!


HEAD GROUND IS DONE


POWER WIRES ARE DONE EXCEPT FOR THE ALTERNATOR SINCE ITS PART OF THE MAIN ENGINE HARNESS SO ILL DO THAT WHEN I REDO THE ENGINE HARNESS



FOUND THESE SI WHEELS IN DECENT CONDITION FROM A LOCAL FB GROUP. I COULDNT STAND THE HALF STEELIE HALF BBS REP WHEEL LOOK


THEY COULD USE A GOOD RE CLEAR


MOUNTED.. STILL ON JACK STANDS THO



BIG HONDA ORDER CAME IN.. YAY!


TEST FITTING THE eBAY CATCH CAN (6X -8AN PORTS)

Have the ground there on the rocker cover won't work, you need to move it to the rocker cover stud.

it'll work there, the factory location is the other hole to the right but it's the same thing, from the factory they don't put it on the actual valve cover mounting stud

Weekend update:


DECIDED TO GET RIDE OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS JANKY FUEL SETUP.. IT DIDNT LOOK RIGHT AND SAW A SMALL LEAK WHEN I PRIMED THE MOTOR. SO DECIDED TO GET RID OF THE HUGE OEM FILTER AND ADD MY OWN E85 ATP FILTER WITH -6AN LINES. LUCKILY I READ UP ON A FEW OPTIONS WHERE YOU DONT NEED FLARE TOOLS TO USE THESE EARL HARDLINE TO AN FITTINGS FOR BOTH FEED AND RETURN. THE RETURN WAS THE HARDEST BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH LINE I HAD TO PLAY WITH AND THE AMOUNT OF ROOM




HAD TO CUT EVAP LINE TO GIVE ME ROOM


FINALLY DONE WITH THE FUEL LINES.. THIS TOOK MOST OF MY DAY ONLY BECAUSE THAT FUEL LINE WAS A PAIN AND I HAD TO CUT THE EVAP LINE TO GIVE ME ROOM


HERE ARE SOME EXTRA PARTS I WILL POST UP SOON FOR SALE. LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN ANYTHING MOSTLY FOR 96-00 CIVICS (COUPE/HATCH)








DECIDED I WANTED TO ADD THE FACTORY CARPET BACK IN AND CUT SOME SMALL SECTIONS FOR THE REAR STRUT BAR






MUCH BETTER.. NOW TIME TO MOUNT THE BATTERY ALOT CLEANER AND RE DO THE LINES.. YOULL SEE HOW BIG OF A WIRING PERSON I AM AS YOU GO THROUGH THE THREAD


POWER AND GROUND DONE.. IT BOTHERED ME ALOT USING THE SAME COLOR FOR BOTH BUT SINCE YOU WONT SEE ANY OF IT, FAWK IT


CLEAN!



NEW BATTERY CHARGER ON DECK.. MUCH NEEDED


WIRING UP THE JDM FENDER LIGHTS.. I DECIDED TO WIRE THEM UP TO PARKING VS THE BLINKER, LIKED IT BETTER



AMBER LOOKS SO GOOD WITH EBP


NEW FRONT END FOR THE GTR-SI.. THOUGHTS??



ANNND FINALLY ABLE TO START HER UP WITH NO ISSUES!!!! TOOK HERE DOWN THE STREET TO CHECK ON THINGS AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD TO GO! GOOD JOB ME


SHES BACK IN THE GARAGE AND ABLE TO FLIP HER THE OTHER WAY ON HER OWN POWER



NEXT PROJECT.. NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPLOAD VIDEOS LMAO

Forgot to get pictures of the process but ended up changing the Headgasket with an OEM one since i had small leak near trans side. Also switched out the old cam, distributor and vtec solenoid seals while i was at it. ARP studs were added

went ahead and powder coated the catch can "splatter *** black" since the black finish that was on there before stained real easy
