Jon's UK spec ITR track build up

[Nuno@Camtec]

Just though ide start a thread about Jon's ITR.

It is currently with me for some work etc, so we can get it ready for the track for him this season.

This thread is so that we can keep a detailed build up of what we do to his car and also so we can keep him/forum updated on the progress of the build.

Ive had the car over since just before christmas but been so busy not been able to play with it up until this week.

No pics as of yet but to get a rough idea.

- engine bay strip
- bay repaint in champ white
- air con delete
- abs delete
- custom brake lines
- under sealing front arches
- under sealing rear arches
- full poly bush
- repaint subframe
- repaint lower arms
- Custom cage
- paint cage and interior
- treat the HSD coilovers (seen betterdays)
- Treat surface rust on arches before it gets bad.



Thats the plans for now. once these are done, we will progress with the Engine refit mapping etc.

Pictures to follow.

Thanks

Nuno.

I'll also be updating the basic progress on JonHope Projects and hopefully Integra Type R Forum too. Hopefully I'll get to track it this summer before the planned second stage of modifications next winter.

Hi Guys this thread has been a bit quite, Me James and John have been planning the project out thoroughly so that the final product is exactly as intended.

A few pics from last weeks efforts.

The engine bay is now pretty stripped. a few brake lines and fuel lines to drop once we remove the fuel tank and suframe.

Anyways some pics of how the bay stands atm.

And Jon has dropped off some goodies over the week.

Full energy suspension Polyurethane bushes.

His Momo steering wheel and boss.

T45 roll cage MSA approved.

and last night we picked up a carbon bonnet.

The roll cage will be started on next week.

More updates soon.

Thanks guys.

Nuno.

[SPek9]

Great project, keep updating us on your progress!

 

[EK9_Jon]

Nuno has kindly kicked this thread off so now it's time for me to upload a few photos of at least some of the parts I have been buying over the past months. Most of the photos need no explanation so it'll just be a picture-heavy post.

Drop Engineering stainless engine mounts with rather firm poly.

The box is for a different AEM system because the original box got squashed (goodies weren't inside)! Inside is an AEM V2 system, same as on my EK9.

DC manifold

Also got some miscellaneous things like some Hondata gaskets etc.

That's all for now!

[Nuno@Camtec]

There some pics of there parts already but since Jon dropped them off today i though i would take some better ones for you guys.

This really is going to be no expense spared type of build by the quality of parts Jon has been buying.

70mm Skunk2 TB

Full size koyo rad with cap.

Hondata thermal Gasket

Drop engineering mounts

Competion clutch and flywheel

AEM V2 CAI

Rear number plate surround

Skunk2 Intake manifold.
