forgot about this thread, made some good progress since, so purchased full polybush kit, rear silver asr brace, rear oem trailing arm bushes, pair of front upper arms, both lower ball joints, buddyclub p1 titanium rear lower arms, dc2 rear arb and links, mb6 front arb and links, integra airbox and new oem filter, black leather with red stitching gear gaiter/armrest cover, personal 330mm steering wheel and boss, carbon duckbill spoiler, sold the fibreglass jdm tailgate i had and bought a jdm metal oem boot, 4 point rear ultra racing brace, brand new in the box oem jdm wind deflectors, a used silver bonnet as one on car was badly dented, heavyset white coolant hose 5 piece kit (have left one out though), another dc2 96 spec wheel to use as a spare, plus a lot of little bits and bobs which i've needed whilst carrying out the swap and not realised, coilovers on the way soon so can carry out the suspension work in one hit.
finished off the valve stems and replaced the gaskets o rings, thermal gasket on intake manifold and bolted to head
dc2 rear seats had not been the best sat
usual fade
so gave them a clean up need going over again but will be at a later date
wind deflectors brand new in the box
then onto the engine installation, fitted gearbox and block together before putting into the car
and how the car sat from the front
test fitted the fibreglass bootlid and spoon ducktail rep spoiler - bootlid was a bad fit so opted to sell and bought a jdm one instead which needs painting
head on and torqued down
and with more bits and pieces added to it
with the replacement bonnet on has stone chips and bit of rust at front but is repairable unlike the previous one
and the engine as it sits at the moment, need to find a solution on fitting the integra airbox in the bay as theres no brackets that line up for it as far as i can see, need a dizzy as was sold the incorrect one and few other little bits before can be started up for first time but fingers crossed should be soon!
