Type R buildup from Scratch... phase 8.. and its done*NO 56K*
I haven been kinda lazy doing the finishing touches on her before inspection, just lots of stuff going on in my life, hopefully she I will be able to go next week for inspection so I can finally drive it on the road..
The set up runs flawless and spins pretty much all 3rd if I shift hard into it from 2nd... if I floor the car at 3k RPM in 2nd it just spins to redline... feels good to finally drive a fast car again.. Am guessing it has 270-290WHP
but ill hit the dyno before the end of summer to confirm my estimate!
When I got her: 4 MONTHS AGO
After about 50 hours: LOTS OF SANDING
Add another 12 hours: ZINC PRIMMED RAD SUPPORT WELDED
Umm 15 hours later: PRIMMED AND PREPPED ENGINE BAY AND INTERIOR
5 hours later: NICE BASE COAT/CLEAR COAT,, look at that shine!
only 5-6 hours in and its started to look like a car again!.... Gas tank, break lines, wire harness, master break, clutch, pedals, subframe, suspension........ time to go home!
another 8 hours... I HATE BREAK LINES
And shes off for paint.. Ill miss the multicoloured look! NOT
5 damm weeks later... ahhhhhh oh well its life!
clean and silky (still not buffed)
still lots of work ahead of me
Umm windows are in....All bran new! so much $$$
Wohoo its comming together, interior is almost done!
Towed to my other friends garage (ADtuning) so he can help me out with the motor!
The car now had a red heart.....installing a motor and making sure not to scratch the engine bay was a pain in the assssss
Trial set up with the water cooler,, damm thats a tight fit!
Umm looks sexy!
The final set up
Looks like an intercooler... NOT its a heat exchanger
The motor complete and running like a charm!
Finally got the fogs all hooked up with a switch!
I need to on some "Boosted Type R" sticker on, the car is a little too plain!
I had to bend the 3inch exhaust a little bit cuz it was hitting the LCR when I would hot a bump!
Well I hope you guys injoyed my 5 month build up. I took lots of hard work and dedication, I dont think I will ever do it again.. I took simply too much time and MONEY! But I must say I enjoyed every minute of it!
thanks to Debo for helping me out all those late nights, as well as Tony and Boo from AD!

Wonder what the grand total was for the full buildup? That would be a good estimate for other owners who want to take this step in recovering a theft'ed R. You had a special situation though with not buying everything completely brand new and having a large supply of integra parts. I'm sure the total is unknown?
