Kurt,

I can send you a screw for your shifter, or I can send you the size if you have a parts supply store there. Let me know. PM me.

Gotta change the bearings and ball joints on these i'm going to run Skunk2 UCAs:

 

[Kurtknight]

I cleaned up the engine bay as best I can, i'm not trying to win any car shows however everything has to be neat and look as factory as possible.

Before:

AnnnnnnnD After:

 

[Reamos]

[kieran.ek9]

[Kurtknight]

Thanks 4 all the compliments guys!

Gotta swap these around:

Rad Brackets:

Condenser Brackets:

RHD DC2 Subframe out of storage finally:

WOW! Look who's out of storage as well!

Hybrid brackets:

Ok guys this is how we install motors here in the Caribbean!

 

[JDM_GUY]

just love how it is shaping up man. Hey can you sell me your stock back box from the CTR? I live in Trinidad so it shouldn't be a hassle to ship it.
In addition how much did that car cost you landed?

 

[kellsled]

looks great

schweeet

Ok here we go again!

The famous "charge harness" i've been reading about:

On:

Off(Look @ the cute little runners):

That wasn't so hard, let's continue!

On:

Why put the stud there preventing the manifold from coming off! I'm in no mood to have to take off the alt/comp/ps pump

Now I gotta modify an old 12mm spanner with a file to fit there for the 2 nut trick!

Not too shabby eh!

Off!

There's oil down there, the wrecked RSX did look like a turn over......I hope the crank,etc didn't starve for oil

Now the wait on the RBC intake manifold and Skunk2 pro series throttle body:

I start cleaning the oil in there and.......!

OW! That's not ATF fluid

I just had to see how this is gonna look!

Tomorrow pressure wash that engine and try to clean it as best I could then swap the clutch/plate/release bearing.

Thanks for watching!

Massive respect for all you have done, my mum has M.S so I know how hard things can be to get done sometimes. Keep it up mate.

[Jimbo]

[Kurtknight]

Respect Jimbo!

If i'm gonna wash this motor gotta take this off, last thing you want wet:

Off:

Might as well install the Competition Clutch while i'm at it with the ratchet and sockets:

Gearbox off:

Flywheel looks good:

OEM Stuff:

Time for this!

Perfect fit!

Lets clean up in here!

Hmmmm

Not too bad!

Break Time....I'm hungry!

Not so bad could have been cleaner but its hard to clean, this motor came from Canada hence the little rust and scaly crap from the salt they use on the roads:

Time for some rest and planning!

Thanks for watching!

 

[Reamos]

^ hahahah dred that roti look relllllll good!

 

[wierzba]

great project, looking forward for the updates...
ps. great dog

 

[Kurtknight]

How yuh mean Reamos!

Thanks wierzba!

I didn't do too much today, MS fatigue sucks.

My dad and I removed the rad and condenser brackets:

Gotta get the rear mount bracket welded tomorrow!

Had to see how the Hybrid mounts look on the motor!

Thanks for watching!

 

[t.schultz]

Very nice build... I guess you don't get hit hard with import taxes like in bim.

 

[Kurtknight]

1 figure for you megabox 150%

It's hard importing here in Grenada, its like you have to buy another whole vehicle and some.

On top of that Government stress on fixing the roads.
