my 2008 build.....yup #4
well hello folks, yeah im back again finally making good progress on my integra once again. the plans this year are to focus on mainly the engine bay, to fix and finish all the things i left out on previous builds. the car will now be powered by a 2002 k20a2 swap which will remain stock for the most part. other mods will be a re-sprayed engine bay with all studs and brackets removed and shaved (not the whole bay). the brake lines will now be tucked away and hidden along with the battery and anything else i can either take out or hide. i have a lot of new ideas that i can now put in motion thanks to my boss John Schill (tricura on h-t) of Absolute Pro-formance who taught me the basics of welding and is helping me with this build. i built this thing before on my own and i think with help i can really step it up from the old setup.
THIS WILL NOT BE A QUICK BUILD, i am taking my sweet time to have everything 100%. i am planning on having it completed in early spring, there is no point to have it finished before then!

this car was my original inspiration for a LOT of things i did. anxious to see the next stage.
so wait. you cut a channel in the crossmember to run the wires through the channel or because you used the crossmember itself as a conduit?

thanks everyone for the support....heres some progress pics from today. still waiting on some parts to finish it all up

just need the rigid 37 degree flare tool to finish up the rears

the dash and everything is out to finish up the brake lines, all bulkheads are in place!
i wasnt sure if i was gonna post this but heres another new one....notice the bulkheads? the majority of the clutch line will be ran inside the frame. not sure if anyone has done this as of yet but heres mine


gotta run the line through then i can weld the section back up
