UPDATED 6/8/2010!!!!!!!!


Well I thought i'd let you guys know what ive been up to. I orginally had purchased a 96 integra gsr to fix up. Upon further investigation i found hole after hole after hole when i gutted it. So, i decided to scratch that idea. No sense in putting alot of money into a car that has a salvage title anyway right?

About two weeks ago me and my girlfriend took a trip down to wexford, PA and i picked up one clean ass 96 hatchback! a CX too!

So for the past two weeks ive been preparing/collecting parts to do the swap.

here's the list so far...

obd2a gsr swap
gsr tranny with lsd
gsr front & rear brake swap
proportioning valve and MC
gsr front & rear sway bars
gsr black leather interior
innovative b-series mounts
99-00 civic si rear transmission mount
delsol dohc vtec ac bracket(im keeping my ac)

things i'll needing...
EX front lca's
some sort of rear lca's
im ordering the beaks subframe brace kit
99-00 civic si gauge cluster

any input is greatly appreciated!

on with the pics...






I installed the gsr leathers this past weekend.


here's the motor right before the pull.


a pic of the garage where the magic happens.

so i did a little work last night, nothing crazy. here's some more pics...

new balljoints in the integra knuckles :)



removed the gsr proportioning valve, mc & brake booster.




pile O' brake parts



cleaned the backside of the motor...man was it caked with grease!



i started do do a little painting but i ran out of paint after doing this one. doesn't look too bad. better than it did!



and i was running low on this so i decided to call it a night.



more pics tomorrow, as i will be working on that bitch most of the night.

right now im searching for more paint to paint the calipers. i can't seem to find the dupli-color gold anywhere! 1604 universal gold is the color.

i started removing the rear disks off the integra last night, but it was getting late and i couldn't run the compressor anymore. (neighbors are bitches).

i'm aiming to pull the motor out of the hatch this saturday so long as its decent outside.

my camera died so i won't have any pics till tomorrow :(

yea the suburbs suck ass. especially when your neighbors have a bunch of little kids that go to bed early. 11pm is my normal cut-off on the compressor unfortunetly :(

ive checked every advanced auto, pep boys and autozone in my area...nothing! im checking out this place called K&S auto on my lunch today to see if they have it. if they don't im headed to napa after work.

i'll tell ya, that gold paint makes the calipers look brand freakin' new though!

so i painted the front calipers the other day.

dupli-color gets it done!



they turned out pretty good...





oh and i received a goodie in the mail yesterday!



more pics after i do some work this weekend :)

rusted bolts owned me this weekend :(

all i'm waiting for is my new front swaybar endlinks and the motor can pretty much go in.

i have noticed one thing though and maybe someone can clear this up.

can i just use my stock y7 drivers side post mount on the gsr motor? the one on the gsr motor won't line up with the innovative driver's mount...

ok so ive done a little work in the past week. also, i received more parts!

pics...

here's one of the last pics in stock form.



here's a good pic of my girlfriend cleaning the car this past weekend. anyone spy what i spy? lol



another...



an interior shot...



in anticipation of the swap i cleaned my wheels so they're ready to slap on.



as you can see, it's going to be a bitch to get this trailing arm apart. lca bolt was seized in it's sleeve.



i painted the gsr swaybar...it was in rough shape. it took a couple hrs of grinding away all the rust.



calipers are all finished! now they're just in waiting.
