Haven't really been working on the caR as much as I would like to. The weather has been terrible and I'm with my Dad every other weekend. Last Friday we weren't doing anything so my Dad asked me if I wanted to work on the car. It was freezing that day but I really wanted to work on it.

We were able to pull the Head off and everything seems good so far. The walls seem great as well. This weekend we will be pulling the rest of the motor out. I've been adding more parts on my list to order; Dizzy bolts, Alternator bolts, etc.. A lot of stuff missing on the motor but can be replaced.

After we pull the motor we plan on sending the head, block, crank, pistons, etc... to my Grandpa's friend to have it hot tanked, honed, inspected, etc.

I wasn't able to take any pictures because my phone died LOL. I'll try this week to get some pictures of what we've done.



Have been ordering things here and there. Still waiting on a bunch of parts to arrive. I hate waiting.

The only thing arrived so far is my Mugen Pedal Set. The matching Dead Pedal from ICB should be here next month.



Also quickly shampooed my floor mats. I need to do a better job but it's not that serious. I'm going to use them anyway.

 

The piece I've been looking for is finally here!

It's in amazing condition other than a crease in the middle because it was folded.

I need to figure out a way to flatten it out without damaging it.

 

beautiful man!!

 

Nice! Love the rear mat. My advise would be to complete soak it with water, perhaps after a good cleaning, and then let it sit in the sun with weights just over that crease, across the length of the mat?

 

We got work done on the R.

So everything looks visually good. Piston #3 Rod Bearings were spun. The crank isn't scored too bad visually but we'll see when we have the machine shop inspect it.

She'll be on the road soon! So now it's the time to order everything I need! Yay

hahah truth, that list of oem honda ITR parts will cost something serious lol

 

I dont post often on HT anymore but this was so worth it.

Its refreshing to see other people with the same approach to my cars. buying OE parts brand new isnt cheap! but OE is best.

Good luck with all the builds, and keep these beautiful cars safe.
