Glad to see progress made on this. Looks great man. When I read that you traded your integra for this, I figured the car would get stripped, and then you would just drop the project and sell the car off. Glad to see I was wrong in my assumption. Definitely curious to see how this one turns out.

Nope not at all I've wanted a 7 for bout 8 yrs now and I couldn't be more happy now that I finally have one. I've learned so much from this site and just ppl that I have met in the past few months. I wanna thank all of u for looking at this thread and all the info u have given me

 

Also I got a little more work done on the car today I started spreading fillet on the pass side shock tower. And I also swapped tail sections out on my trannys ill be running a Turbo II tranny on this car along with an executive triple disc. I got the clutch for super cheap that's y ill be running it

 

Exedy sry auto correct on phones lol

 

Thanx man I'm real excited to see how it turns out

 

Do u have a plasma or what r u cutting ur sheetmetal with?

Bay is lookin real nice!

 

Cutting it with a grinder and a cut wheel. I'd really like to get a plasma in the future.

 

This is just mad, you have some ***** taking all that out! Can't wait to see the result. Nice work.

 

Thanx and me either I'm going to be spending a full day at the shop tomorrow so I should have a bunch of pics tomorrow

 

Haha, I feel your pain man. Yesterday i was cutting a 1.5" square of aluminum stock with an ancient battery powered sawzall that died after 5 minutes and then had to use a hack saw for the rest.

I'd say I probably use my jigsaw, angle grinder, and drill more than any other tools.

 

Really liking this build, keep it up man! Pictures please!

 

got a small update i got a lot of body work done today. i think ill start tearing the motor apart this week also.











then how i left it for the night its slowly but surely moving along





thanx for looking guys and again if anyone needs pics of anything just let me know

 

What is that crazy contraption holding your hood open? Looks pretty complex Keep up the good work man, the engine bay is going to be stunning when finished.

 

alright i tore the motor apart last night and cleaned everything up

starting off



oil pan off



my little work area



taking the front cover off



taking the oil pump assembly off



now taking the main studs out



taking iron off



rotar



housing off



then my work bench

 

Front housing looks good... How's the rear?

 

this is such a nice build!

 

Same as the front no scoring so that's good. I have a question for u guys tho. Do u ever replace the bearings? And when can I get a factory service Manuel from?

 

you can download a fsm.. just google it. you might have to click a few different links but you should have no problem finding one. Which bearings? You're gonna need a micrometer and a good eye. It'd be a shame to rebuild something and ruin it because something wasn't in spec ya know?

 

Thanx ill look for one tonight and I have a micrometer so that's no biggie. And I know that everything has to be spotless. Hows ur build coming alone

 

just got the clutch for the car cant wait to feel this thing



can u say triple disc

 

So the plates you welded in the bay are just for aesthetic reasons right? Not being smart just wondering.

 

What I wanna know is... Who the hell trades an fd for an integra?? Lol

 

yes they are just for looks but i guess they could be for some strength since they are welded in.


im not sure who trades and fd for and integra but i traded my integra for this fd
and this is the teg that i traded for this fd



the car made 500 on pump gas

 

I just traded my stock 1999 civic hatchback for a clean titled black 94 fd. Body in great shape, interior needs cleaning, and had single turbo conversion but turbo is blown. Lots of shaft play

 

sweet do you have any pics of it

thanx man im gald ppl are taking interest in this build
