IT's MY BOTTOM BITCH...build thread kra95teg's eh2



pics of the car the next day after i bought it.




the car after i swapped the front hubs off a ex(with baller hub caps) and lowered just a bit.
So about 6 months after i got the car i lost my job. had to go out, and find a new one so i got a job at Valvoline instant oil change(nothing like half off oil changes). Well one day on my way home from work one of the hard line connections to the prop-valve decides to blow up. I loose all the brakes of the car. I'm like **** i just the car now its going to get wrecked. So i pull the damn e-brake, and stop the car not as much fun as my 300zx but it got the job done. Good thing is was only 2 blocks away from my house. Sigh of relief when i got home.
So the next day i was off work, and i started to take off the brake parts so i could get all new stuff. new lines, new calipers, new prop-valve, and brake booster/ master, new rotors, pads, and hubs. i wasn't going to have the issue again brake wise.
So I'm waiting for parts to show up, and i notice that when i start up the car i have this weird kind of tap/knock sound in my motor. So it bothered me took my old d15b7 out, and had it rebuilt. While it was going to be down i figured i would clean up the wiring cluster **** as well. I gut out the car, and start working on the wiring of the car. I got very sick spent 5 months in the hospital and 2 months @ home. I was on lock down couldn't work, and couldn't work on my car. So everyday i got to look out side at my car sitting there on jack stands. Then it started to get cold, and snowing. Here i am sick as a dog, and cant get out and move it. Hoping to god that my hatch doesn't get ****ed up by the snow. Finally i start getting better, and can go back to work. Well after being 7 months out of work the car still had to sit for some time. To get caught up on bills.
After i start messing with the wires i figure why not start tucking the engine bay i already have them inside the car. Now i had an entire integra gsr wiring harness out of my old car that i uses to extend the wires. nothing like matching up the color of the wires for a seamless transition. Also this whole time i have been working on the car I'm not suppose to be, but o well i needed my Honda fix.
old integra harness


me mocking up for the wire tuck (went the hard route knew it would look better)
Also NOTE LOOK @ THE AWESOME JOB THE OLD OWNER DID ON FIXING THE FRAME RAIL. AND HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING ETHER. WHAT A GOOD GUY.

p/s mock up(head & city lights)

the final product before the wire are getting fished threw

wires going to there new home

the head& city light final set up

wires coming together p/s

the finished product p/s (that dangling wire is tucked up now)

that dangling wire goes here(all nice and tight now)

now we cant forget the driver side(tucked the same way)


head& city lights D/s

the last bit of the tuck

Now there is a section before this that i like to call a semi-shaved bay not a hundred percent because i didn't know what i want to do with the wire tuck so i got rid of the holes i knew i wouldn't use.
After i got better this is what i worked on i know i should have gotten more pics of this but i was more worried about not getting done in time for IMPORT ALLIANCE in TN. So i opted out on the pics sorry about that.
the car after it got sealed and primed
16hours later(not cleaned up yet)




Now i will say this for myself I'm not a good picture taker, and i don't plan on it any time soon but all these pics are from my cell phone. Also this is my first attempt at a shave, and wire tuck. so its not the best attempt i seen, but its better to learn then to have someone else do it.
so i got this far 2day (starting to clean up all the dust and crap)

a few other things i got for the car were. (some bitching stickers)

More updates to come with my swap being done. Interior, and rear hatch tuck as well. Thanks for the views. Also will be posting up pics of the new brake line set up and new clutch line set up as well.
