Got my parts back from the shop last week, LSD is installed in the tranny, and I got my ceramic coated parts back. Looks really nice. I also had them powder coat my bov horn black so I have a little red/black theme going on. Some other parts arrived in the mail as well, including my Tial wastegate, NRG parts, and a bunch of fuel system parts and pieces. Actual work has begun on the car too. This past week I have been installing my alarm slowly but surely when I have time, and I also prepped my suspension before it gets installed this weekend. Should have some installation updates in a few days with some real progress. Enjoy the pictures.

Getting close to having everything I need to get started on the motor swap. My y8 transmission is in the shop getting the LSD installed and my turbine, downpipe, and manifold are getting ceramic coating. I got my Hondata s300, and some more things have arrived in the mail as well, including Skunk2 sport shocks, Skunk2 front camber kit, IC piping, and some Greddy electronics (TT and Profec-B). Should have another shipment of things arriving in the next day or two also. Oh, also got my powder coated valve cover back, check out the link for the vc to see all the refreshed/cleaned up parts.

Got some new parts in and was able to get some work done after being sick the last few days. First, my Treadstone intercooler came in, along with a d16y8 intake manifold that has a b16 throttle body already setup on it. Think that’s it as far as parts go. I also cleaned up the intake manifold and the y8 transmission that I got. The cylinder head is now assembled as well minus a couple little things, like the vtec solenoid, because I mistakenly ordered the wrong gasket for it. Few pics below:

Update on Eriks’ work:
So I’ve gotten rid of the fiberglass interior and Im slowly but surely replacing the panels with some custom vinyl wrapped components. Obviously Im doing everything myself but here are some preliminary photos. I also got some Recaro knock off seats that Ive built brackets for and installed.

So, I have had this 1996 red hatchback that I bought from Erik over a year now. And because of travelling and working from home this past year, I have hardly driven it. Well, I am now driving it daily and figured it’s time to start up a new car log. This will be similar to my old Evolution 8 log and Turbo Integra log. On to the news…I picked up a used set of Integra seats to start the car off. Took some steam cleaning and some scrubbing to get them clean but they are as good as new now. Click the pics below to see the pics of the car and the first project!
