Default DA daily driver

I bought the car from my freind for 1500 bucks with a rebuilt motor
It had 15000 miles on it when i got it from him and now its around 20. When i got it it had a cold air intake, CX racing radiator, 8mm MSD wires, mugen short throw, header back homade exhaust, 10k HID's, crappy ebay coilovers an camber kit, and a "racing seat".

First day i got the car.
Steelies up front with bald tires and a walmart spraypaint job.



A few weeks later i popped a tire in a snow storm and must have drove on it for about an hour before relizing it. The popped tire threw out a wheel bearing so i had to get a new one of those and i also decided to paint the rims black. I went with a set of Yokohoma S drive tires.



A month later i got bored and popped it into the garage

Battery relocation to hatch
Power steering removel
Slim fan installed
Very minor wire tuck





The next thing i did was assemble a group of my freinds the get ri if the spray paint job

Prepped


Primed


Painted


I went with a gun metel gray and had my freinds dad spray it for me since thats what he does. Ive also gotten rid of the big heavy racing seat for a stock one. My plan is to turbo it on a 14b I ave laying around but I dont have too much background with Honda motors because I was in the DSM game for a while. So its going to be a lot of asking questions and reading.

Nice, If your going to update this thread make sure it's changed to a build thread. If this is a one time thing then there is a Picture thread sticky'd up top.
Side note - I wish i knew some one with a paint booth so I could spray my car. Sun fadded from hell, oxidized, and front clip was repainted.... No frame damage just sheet metal and it looks like crap. Nice job man.

I put the positive wire going to the battery to a 0 gauge wire and soldered them together and ran then to the back. Then you put a ground in the hatch for the battery. You have to remember to go back up to the bay and make a ground were the battery was grounded before. Its the red wire from the tranny mount to the frame in the bay picture.

Alright so I just traded a couple parts in my garage for a brand new set of crane cams. I have no clue about them except they are far a b18a1 and have a range of 1000-6500 rpm. I also have a part number, 101-0010, and looked on google a bit but didnt see much. Does anyone have any clue about these?
