Sent the valve cover to the shop yesterday and within an hour it was stripped and preped for the new color of the car... Hope you guys don't hate me too much for what I picked
 
Well, I came home today and decided to work on the car a little more than usual... empty house, empty garage, so I went at it full force. Got the engine in and bolted in and painted the "T" bracket and trans bracket.

Potts and JustRob came over and helped out A LOT. Thank you guys a lot for helping with the wiring, axles, and camber parts eating a lot of free food with me. :)

I also picked up my decals for a local friend / 2Dot4. Gotta love Cyanide and Happiness...

More to come in the morning. Bolting in the shift linkage, the header to the catback, finish the wiring to get her moving again. Camber kit put on to the best it could be for now until it is aligned.
 
Got a little more done today. Shift linkage connected, header bolted up, traction bars bolted up, wire tucked a bit, more pieces painted black, and a few more things completed.

Had to swap on my old A'PEXi GT Spec Civic Type R header due to the mating up of the header and the test pipe. Gotta have one fabricated to get the RMF back on.

Should be ready to drive tonight I believe... and the rest of the base coat painted on tomorrow...

Got all the new fluids (fresh oil, Honda OEM S2000 oil filter, Water Wetter and radiator fluid, and new trans fluid) ready to go in tonight and finished majority of the wire tuck for how it will be now and painted the intake tube and cleaned up the rest of the air box as well.

But the Si front grill, front bumper, Si front lip, and the hood should all be green and color matching to the rest of the car tomorrow. And then she will be ready to go for a full drive and see how she does. :)
 
This week it will be vinyl wrapped and finished finally.

Photoshoot pics soon to come.
 
Well a few things since the last time...

Picked up a few parts a while back from Bryan / Orange94hatch... Thank you for the doors, lip, grill and hood sir from the Si.

More to come hopefully soon... I'm ready for it to be wrapped and finished.
 
Great work so far, was a nice little read on my lunch break!!! Keep up the good work! :D
 
A little more was done today...

Side moldings, rear quarters, Eric wrapped the "B" pillars too... They are different, but if I don't like them, I can always remove them.

wow nice work mate, love all the diff colours you used on the car! good luck with rest of the build! :)
 
More vinyl was just ordered and it should be done this upcoming week...

I'm waiting to order the new lip and see where the car goes after than.



Chargespeed is all I will say.
