I finally finished putting together most of my adventures over the past 2 years since I picked up my hatch (replacing the coupe that I totalled). Having completely ripped my hatch to pieces and put it all back together, I thought I would try to help other out with their performance conquests.

Let me know what you think. I'm always up for suggestions.

The spell checker wont pick up "patients" used in place of "patience". Watch for stuff like that, it killls your credibility.

Its easy to read and organized. Keep the content coming. Steering rack swap is pretty original I've never seen an article on that.

Holy **** you removed the whole dash just to change the steering wheel?! You are ******* nuts. You can get all the SRS sensors, ECU, wiring out w/out removing any of that. You should mark the steering wheel before you pull it off. Why not crack that piece of sheet metal out of the lower steering column cover? Nice work on the horn wiring.

 

<sigh> Type too fast, read too fast, miss the easy ones. Anyway, thanks. I fixed the spelling error.

As for content, what exactly do you mean? More articles or more detail in the articles?

As far as the steering wheel swap, no you don't have to pull the dash. The reason why I pulled my dash is that I was swapping in a dash with no passenger side airbag hole. If you have a '92-'93, you won't have to worry about it. I was hoping that was clear enough in the writing.

The wiring, ECU and so on, are pretty easy to remove without pulling the dash.

Can you use the integra subframe?

 

Funny, in my G1 integra I swapped the crossmember and steering rack from a crx/civic.

 

I would say that the 3g subframe is exactly the same given the fact that everything else is identical. An ABS equipped 5g civic is a lot more integra than some realize. If you can get the whole subframe, control arms and what have you, provided that you didn't have swaybars in the first place, you can do that upgrade as well.

Usually, 1g integra = 3g civic, 2g integra = 4g civic and 3g integra = 5g civic for parts interchangeability

just didn't know if someone did it before I spend a day and then not have the parts. I have lots of integra parts but not many civic parts.
