Every time i view a thread of someone's project or progress, my initial thought is always "what if they put this effort into a fox body"
They'd have a machine who's sole purpose is roasting tires.
Id love to have a notchback.
Thats called going through tires like a man.
Cambered cars go through tires like a bitch.

Spinning is losing my friend. Lol. I need something that does more than turn rubber into hot glue. LOL
I'll drink to that!
Mine will turn tires into hot glue on a road course

What is this object to the left of your wheels, it is driving me nuts trying to figure it out.

Havent been able to do much since I just moved into a new house but I had to do something to stay somewhat productive. Finished up assembly of my front upper control arms. Energy Suspension bushings and new ball joints. Still have to clean them up real good. Its not easy replacing those bushings but having bought a hydraulic press, it makes it a little easier.

Im not really a fan of your wheels, but I can accept the fact that your putting your heart and soul into this vehicle. Keep up the good work.

Mesh wheels are a love/hate setup. I have always loved these and they will be put on for shows when I get my new wheels in.

Just a couple of minor updates.
Newly acquired front lip for the daily:
Started on the front suspension. Kinda stuck due to needing to press out the rest of the old bearings:
And my new work space:

So, everything got moved over to the new house and work started. Got the front end tore apart and ready for the new parts. Swapping a lot of parts around I forgot that the front suspension on the track car was from an EF ( bolted on so I could move it ) so I need to source two front forks. Also the bushings on the front lower control arms were giving me hell so that kinda put a halt on the front. Time to move on to the back end. Being that the car spent time in Virginia, a lot of the suspension rusted together. I have to completely redo the rear suspension so that will take some extra time as well. For now, here are a few pics:
Here is a shot of the rear prior to disassembly:
All of this is rusted together and needs to be replaced:
A shot of the ASR subframe brace and sway bar mocked up:
My coilovers are bolted up in the rear and waiting on the rest of the parts:
As it sits for now until tomorrow when I will do some more:
Keep it up man! Looks good and congrats on the new place.

The track car build is delayed a little. Ran into some personal issues that need to be addressed first. We did however add a third Integra to our collection
Nice!
I am considering having my Tein coilovers revalved and fitted for custom spring rates but not to sure. Anyone ever done that?
I would drive on what you have, figure out if you even need it done... Before doing it before the car ever sees a mile of road. You might decide on different rates based on feel or driving style then whatever figure "looks" good on a calculator.
Yeah thats what I am thinking. However in an interesting turn of events her car is going to ride on my Tein coilovers so the SSRs will not scrub when they go on this evening.
Not much has changed since I last updated this thread. In the next couple of weeks, I am doing a tear down on my B16 and replacing a bunch of gaskets and shit. Will also be changing my intake manifold and header with new pieces. Once I reassemble the motor, the track car will be assembled and on the road. I'll post pics as I progress through everything.
Today was the last day of driving the daily so teardown begins. Started with the interior and threw it all in the track car. The track car will see daily use for a while and I plan to track with full interior so until it goes full track duty, I will maintain my creature comforts with audio as well. Here are a couple of pics:
Purchased a new Skunk2 intake manifold and 70mm throttle body, new race header, new ARP head studs, new Mishimoto Civic radiator, and a few other items. Now to order new maintenance items like head gasket and water pump and I can start teardown and assembly of the motor. I'll post pics as parts come in.
The pics may be big so I apologize in advance. I got the car to my new house and started little by little to prep it to hit the road. Most of that prep work was cleaning and removing unnecessary things. The car sat for a few months until I got some money in.
This is the resting spot for the track car until it hits the road.
I pulled some interior pieces and the front and rear seats from my wrecked one and threw them in the track car. I also took this opportunity to give the inside a good cleaning. Since the car will see road use for the next couple of years, I decided to use the full interior and I am also throwing in an audio system.
Here is a shot of the front suspension when I started bolting things together.
Here is the front suspension completely bolted up. If anyone is wondering, that is a Cusco front lower tie bar and an Innovative Traction system.
Here is my ASR subframe kit with 24mm sway bar option. Completely mounted up and awaiting the rest of my rear suspension to go on.
I mocked up all the suspension bits here to see what I was working with.
This is the last pic I took of my swap right before I pulled it from the wrecked car. My plans with getting a 1.8L block fell through so I am sticking with the 1.6L motor for now.
The motor is out and work got started. The header I was using was sold to a friend of mine and I am replacing it with a PLM race header.
One of my parts shelf before I added more things to it and before more parts showed up.
Just another shot right before I took the head off to change the head gasket.
A shot of my Mishimoto radiator, Skunk2 purple valve cover bolts, and Russell braided brake lines.
A pic of the radiator out of the box.
My test pipe, fuel pump, and ARP head studs.
That's about it so far. I have to work tomorrow so when I get off Wednesday morning, I will update with more pics as parts arrive and has progress is made.
