lmao! our race car is an integra, we're reshelling it right now too....
new one is a 99 Rs coupe, full cage, spherical bearing control arms, adjustable uppers, its all spherical in the rear. synchrotech trans, etc etc. we're reusing the LS motor from the last car.
why is the LS/vtek swap so cool? we did run a GSR engine for a while, its much faster!
we used to run honda challenge so we were limited to the LS engine, but now we're running PT/TT so we can run anything we want

Nothing cool about the ls really, its already sleeved and ready to go. It's mated to a b17 head. I want to get into that kind of racing, I have mostly dabbled in autocross.

Long time no post 
I have done some work to the car, but not nearly as much as I'd of liked to. After I got the sub-frame done and stuff I kinda burnt myself out with it. Since then I got a lot of work done around the house, put E-Fans in my pickup, and bought (painted, added chrome, and other badassery type things) a keg fridge. Pretty cool
Here are the only real progress pics that I have. I'm still waiting on my front cover o-ring from mazdatrix and I just remembered (again) that i forgot to order a rear main seal
...
I wanted to paint my engine white and black. So i did.
...
Paint didnt stick good enough... but thats actually ok. I hated the look of white and black.
...
Stripped it and re-cleaned, its staying natural color.
...
There is a pic of my trans after I wire wheeled the bell housing. I like it I think im either just going to clean the rest of it good and leave it, or paint it black...
I just sold my bike... This Saturday I'm making a 590 mile round trip to Cincinnatti, OH to pick up an 85' GSL from a forum member. Pretty excited about that too!

I KID, i kid - looking great and I'm stoked to see how things turn out! I've been following your build for a while I'm curious what you used to strip down the paint on the block. Previous owner of my ride sprayed the engine black. But not the entire engine - just the top.... ahhh jeez. I'm going to be either painting it or taking it down to metal when I do my EFI setup here in the next month, looking for some tips.
Did you just wire wheel the whole thing? Use a power drill or something else?
SiRMarlon - Nice job on the CRX tuck! Those Hondas look so badass tucked! Definitely my inspiration.

Whats the best recommended way to simply tuck the wires in your bay? Also what is all the wiring you can take out including ac, radio etc? Im just trying not to take anything essential out and its my 1st rx

You will need to determine for yourself which solenoids and relays can be kept or removed, based on your build goals, and you will need to read through all of the factory wiring diagrams and understand how the system is tied together. The diagrams are available at http://www.foxed.ca
I tucked the remainder solenoid bundle under my dash, and routed the harness through The drivers side fender
