Hello Honda-Tech!

First off thanks for taking time viewing this, I appreciate it!

My name is Shawn or "Bonez" as most of my friends call me

I have been in the Honda game for about 5-6 years now.

I got this 1999 ABP Integra(automatic) about a year ago now as a commuter. I got if for a steal at $500 with messed up valve seals or something like that. I got a spare LS head from a buddy for free, slapped that bitch on with new fluids and gaskets. She ran like a dream.

Fast forward about 9 months I blew out the automatic tranny driving home from Bay area soooo THE BUILD IS ON.

I have never really thought of making one of these before but I decided **** it.
I have an extreme passion for cars as most of us do and I love being able to do everything to my car. I dont like people touching my car or putting stuff together because there have been numerous times wheels werent tightened, other bolts etc... just cant trust anyone but yourself or a trusted mechanic

Anyways this car has been built on a low budget.
Sooo judge accordingly

Everything on the car has been done by me.
Besides the paint. lol


This is what she looked like when I first got her.



This is how she looks now



what the bay looked like


So it i didnt really do anything for awhile just got lil things for her.

I got these ITR floormats for 20 bux off a buddy just missing center back piece


I got some C8 for a good price


Rolled at stock height for awhile.
Theeeenn got some shitty coilovers




smmaaaassssssshhhh goes the rota


had to put the hx on in meantime





got some gt3 for a decent price from a friend
stripped them down and sent them off to powdercoat





for awhile i stopped workin on her and just focused on work until her tranny went out from me abusing her lol **** it manual conversion time!

since i knew i wanted to tuck the harness i figured why not build myself a harness....






heres the finished product...


not too bad for a first time making my own harness.
many headaches, long nights, and monsters have been in this harness

so i started aquiring parts for manual swap. i have alot of parts leftover from old cars already just needed pedals, cmc, and lines and other lil stuff.

TIME FOR HEART TRANSPLANT!

originally going to keep abs then decided **** it.

Cleaned up the motor some

my boy joe who works in the local Honda dealership body shop got me the 2012 Honda Fit color Blue Rasberry Metallic... getting ready to paint it

Sooooo it came out better than i thought

Put the motor in with out scratching ahhhhh

soooo to sum it all up im just waiting on my fuel tuck kit.. put my interior back together and she is road ready...

sorry if its all over the place i put it all together today maybe ill organize it up a bit better later!

thanks and wait for the many updates to come

 

Loving it, keep us updated!

 

Shoutout from a fellow Norcal resident and props on that diy harness man! I woulda kept abs though if you plan on still commuting with it; its more of a safety feature than anything.

 

thanks! more updates soon!

just installing interior
waiting for my fuel tuck kit to come in mail and ill be on the road

 

see i was contemplating ALOT... going back and forth on whether i keep it or not... well not keeping it won! lol if maybe i felt like trying to tuck it i would have kept it. but yeah this is the second harness i have ever done but this is the first finished one.
the other was an ek harness and i couldnt get past the two "dead" plugs.

 

looking good!!

 

thank you!

finally bled the brakes and clutch line today everything perfect!

just waitn on fuel tuck kit to come in mail

 

lookin good
nice harness work

keep it up

 

thank you!


new updates.

traded my xxr for some 16x7 rota track rs clean AF
still waitin on my damn fuel line tuck kit!

 

so i had my xxrs but i didnt like them. sooo i traded for these track Rs


so heres some completed minus the fuel line pics. just need to figure out intake situation.

 

so i finally got around to getting pics of the interior


heres where the prop valve and fuse panel are.




some random shots from today

 

rasberry met is a nice contrast for sure

 

where did you get your front lip from?

 

thank you! i knew i wanted a oem honda color and when i saw the 2012 fit i knew that was the color i wanted

 

i got lucky and a buddy of mine had an integra he didnt really drive and i ended up getting the lip off him for 60 bux got really excited when i found out it was OEM

 

so I finally got her running and driving around!

 

update.

alternator went bad.. gotta find another

and its throwing code 21 so I gotta figure that out.

other than that runs strong
