Hi all,
thought id start out a thread on my eg project ive started recently, didn't get off to the best starts, bought a esi shell which decided was too far gone, so bought an auto lsi, then another esi popped up as a rolling shell which was cleaner again so went with the last shell before starting to give the best base car. so i viewed the car which was being stripped for parts, was completely stripped apart from dash and few bits in the engine bay, shell is only on 59k with years mot so made a deal with the owner on the shell, bought a full brake setup off a mb6 civic with a 1" mc servo which had to be fitted to the shell before we could move it, had to remove the dash so he could keep the interior loom, had to fit front head lights, indicators, different tailgate, steering wheel, seat, wheels all before it could be brought home.
pics of the brake swap when collected, have also got a set of hel braided brake lines to be fitted to this setup car will be remaining non abs:
once we got it back home
started off taking some of the parts id fitted to the lsi off for the new shell (on the right)
engine bay when i got it
started cleaning the bay up not yet finished due to time / light
with the red dress up parts in place, fitted the black housed headlights off my other esi shell and the amber corners
gave the shell a quick wash over as was filthy when got it just to see condition of the paint rust scratches etc overall nice shell needs work in places though
with the clear outer lights fitted
took the front bumper off the lsi i had as one that came with this car had seen much better days (just loosely hanging on at the minute whilst works being done on the car)
last couple of days been working on the interior stripping the other esi i have for the black interior parts, have so far swapped over the door cards which i retrimmed, the rear quarter trims in black, the rear seats which are wrapped in teg type r material, black boot trims and black boot carpet, black parcel shelf, at the same time been degreasing the floor of the new esi before its all fitted as has had the sound deadening removed but residue left behind and various other marks so generally tidying it up as i go through the car, currently removing the black carpet from the other esi for this car and waiting to remove the interior loom so it can be swapped into the new shell to run the engine. also picked up a black armrest console the other day and black cup holders few pics of various bits ive collected to go in.
door cards before
and after the retrim
not a very good picture but the prelude tombstone seats that will be going in once rails modified to fit the eg
collected a couple of body pieces for the eg aswell, a mugen gen 1 rep lip / wings west lip in poly which will be colour coded
a fibreglass jdm tailgate need to find a way of fitting the oem boot release mechanism etc to it before fitting
arranged a set of 96 spec oem teg wheels to go with the brake swap just awaiting delivery before they get cleaned up possibly refurbed or put straight on depending condition
have lots of other parts sat around awaiting to be put together at the minute,
exhaust wise have a 2.25" decat pipe, 2.25" powerflow cat back and a 2.25" 4-2-1 b18c si manifold which will be a starting point before upgrading to 2.5"
engine wise, have a B16A2 block with a B18c head and B18c sump, red coolant hoses, iriduim plugs,oversized red ht leads, honda chrome oil cap, lightened and balanced flywheel, oem b series mounts inc torque mounts, stage 2 or 3 clutch plates and oem release bearing, still needs cleaning up before it goes in pics as it stands, have a p30 ecu to run it on to start with until i can get it all mapped properly still toying with the idea of swapping the block out for the b18c one so the engine is full type r engine then.
integra type r inlet manifold, throttle body, injectors(looms been modified to plug and play), fuel rail, intake pipe, hoping can combine the dc2 intake pipe to the eg standard airbox
gearbox wise - have a s80 integra gearbox with the 4.4 FD and LSD needs a good clean up aswell before fitting, have 96 spec integra driveshafts to handle the extra power, hel braided clutch line and polybushed shift linkages, spoon black duracon gear knob, just need to order a gear lever itself now.
have a brand new oem style radiator on order awaiting arrival, integra type r steering rack has been delivered just awaiting some more funds to purchase the UJ to fit it, and new rack ends, also need to sort the power steering delete properly as previous owner has done it a strange and messy looking way, will hopefully update soon when some more parts get fitted to the car, still need to source a spoiler, radiator fan + motor and few other small bits and pieces.
plans for the future after all this lot are full polybushed suspension, replace all ball joints and upper front arms, coilovers, larger arbs with appropriate bracing, full 4wa setup for the time being.
