IMO it looks really good other than the "type-r" lip. ditch that and it'd look a LOT better. again, just my opinion. its your car

 

I like the 90-91 bumper for the look and also for the fact not many people have it in my area. Everyone here in Ontario has a 92-93 bumper with type r lip kit for it. I do have a change coming in the future though. Who knows it may be 92-93 bumper with type r lip, or possibly jdp.

 

i think i am going to buy a home alignment tool and alignment plates. i realize ride height will have to be raised up and camber and toe, adjusted accordingly. Its not like we expect the car to run around at the track slammed, hell there is no way some 22" slicks are gunna fit under the car with the ride height as pictured.

i get defensive, because although the occasionally advice or positive re enforcement, u guys mostly think me and my brother are total idiots. To be honest we have probably done more difficult engine swaps, and body work for our age than most people who are 10+ yrs our age. While i am not saying we are professionals, i would just appreciate to be given more respect.

 

Respect is earned aswell my friend (thats not a jab at you). I try and remember when I was younger how much more I should have listened. Being humble sometimes and open to opinions is not always a bad thing.

Not all on here are professionals, but alot here know what they are talking about. Just like they don't know what your all capable of, you don't know what they know and are capable of. Right?

I wouldn't purchase a home alignment tool or plates. Honestly not worth it and you really can't get the best results possible. You still got to be able to get at everything to adjust it and an alignment rack is far better for this. IMO just get an alignment from a good shop. I'm lucky in that I work at a dealer as a mechanic and have full access to one.

Even when set to factory specs you'll find the alignment needs to be modified to your car. Torque steer is also a factor to be considered. I've been in cars where you got to turn to the left as you punch the gas to counter it and keep it out of the ditch. Just something to think about.

Also corner balancing my civic was the best thing I have ever done. I'll be doing this to my integra before it hits the road again.

 

Just finished polishing my headlights... looks so much better. I have a few days left in Pa so i might try to pull the motor so i can finish the tuck harness and put the motor back together.

 

22 inch slicks and 11's huh?
You're gonna find out sooner than later that you'll need to go a bit bigger.

 

There's a good chance I'm being stupid here... but what exactly are you guys talking about? What are you blocking off and where is the water coming from?

 

the seals go bad and leak rite under the wiper cowl on the pass side rite above the blower mine does it too i need to seal it up also

 

Ah ok, thanks. And water comes in through the interior vents?

 

no leaks on to the passo floor

 

Gotcha

Looking forward to seeing yours after painting too... I keep up with your thread on HH to see how progress is going

 

cant wait either ...

 

It's only $20 for the seals that are needed to fix the water leak... no need to rig something up, if you're going to take the time to take everything apart might as well fix it with the right parts.

 

ye i know dude goin to the honda dealership tommorow

 

I was hoping you weren't going to try the license plate trick lmao

 

so instead of making plates and stuff to seal it, why not just do it right and go buy the 8 seals from the dealership n some new foam tape on the plastic cover? i've had absolutely no leaks ever since i replaced mine and recommend everyone else do the same who hasnt already. there's even a diy write up on here somewhere on how to do it


edit-herb beat me to it lol

 

When I find out exactly what these seals are/where they go, I reckon I'll get some too. My car isn't leaking but the seals are 21 years old this year, so it can't hurt to renew them.

Think I'd better look for that DIY.

 

go ahead and make fun of the license plate cuz I probably would too, but I employed my ingenuity and resources for a part that nobody will ever see instead of paying for it. you will never see it under the cowl AND the secondary cover. I tried a few DIY writeups from g2ic and elsewhere to reseal it but those didnt work so I came up with my own. And isnt that how new parts are conceived?.....someone who thinks they can make a part better and/or cheaper?
and by the way I did buy new boots/seals and sealer but the problem persisted

 

If it works it works **** it

 

when i got my da, the previous owner (my hack buddy who works for a saab dealership) took a saab dealer advertisment plate and duct taped it to the opening. he said it was leaking even tho he never drove it and it sat in his dealership parking garage for 2 years before i got it so i dont know how he knew it leaked. gotta love the things some people will do to fix things.

 

I should of hit you up man i've been in Pa for a month... going back this week though. What are you doing tomorrow or tuesday?

 

yo herb! did you ever come home to work on your car. and if so where was the call? ive been driving my da around cause its been really nice out lately. i finally got the exhaust all fabbed up and the car has been running like a f**king top. i replaced every piece of rubber undernieth and even bought a 12 ton press to replace the bushings. so if you need them done let me know. hit me up next time your home so we can get together and i will elp you on your wiring. i got a whole bunch of harnesses extra if your interested.

 

im working tomorrow morning and gotta take my wifes parrot to the vet but im good after that and im free tuesday night. you should come down cause im kinda hessetant to drive the da long distances cause im completely broke and if it breaks down im ****ed. i havent really been on ht lately. kinda in a rut cause of work and all. ill hit you up tomorrow afternoon. my job is near conshy

 

took the GS-R out today for a while, it was the first time in a bit that I was able to cruise in it, man I had a good time!

 

dave. its gonna be 60 on friday.
