:: Red/Black EK is now Midori/Black EK :)
Well, after a LOT of work, she is close enough to be posted 
There is still a lot I am doing and am going to change, but I though I'd give everyone a little preview. Also, towards the bottom, if you want to help me make sure the swap is connected ok, look at the pics below.
I think everything is working though besides a problem I'm having that I think is to do with the alternator. If you want to help, go here:

Other than that, I'm still converting the swap to obd2a as the jdm itr is not
So that should account for the crank sensor, and 2nd ecu plugs just floating, but thats it. So far, I have the oil pump, crank sensor, and 2nd o2 sensor (all from a usdm itr) and just need a ecu and the little bracket that attaches the crank sensor to the oil pump. If you have it, let me know.
BTW, before people say stuff about the engine bay being flat black It came that way when I got it and its kinda cool now that its that way cause all scratches, removed bolts, damage, etc gets to be fixed and painted in seconds after it happens with another handy can of flat black spray paint. 
Very nice if you don't have hook ups with Honda painters.
Also, much thanks to ECAhatch who helped me strip thing thing to a shell and get everything together again Nothing like the power of nothing else to do.
Well, enough reading, to the pics...

Looks super fresh 
I would have like to see the side moldings, mirrors, etc. paint matched, I think that would add a lot more to it too...
Regardless, on all your hard work, looks good, enjoy....

Very true. I still need to get some painting done, but like I said, I'm doing a lot to this. This is just a current update. Right now, the front bumper is kinda hurt. There is two really big splits in it and that gash thats under the headlight. So that means I will be getting a new bumper, but might try a backyard special if I can find a nice price for one. Also want a ctr wing. Spoon ones are cool but I always loved the ctr one after the red hatch. So when I get the, I'm painting everthing else with it, but for now, I just did a LOT, and I mean LOT of touch up paint work on the body and the bumper to get rid of some nicks and chips that were starting to annoy me. The body was lightly wet sanded, polished, paint touch uped, polished again, and then waxed. It turned out pretty good compaired to before.
