ITR 00-0874 ... Life after death
Re: ITR 00-0874 ... Life after death
Fast forward 6mo. I towed the car to a place where the guys and I could have fun and make a mess. I was shooting for Eibach that recently passed but when I realized the time I had available and the detail level I wanted from myself didn't meet; I'd have to defer that dream. Somewhere in the timeline, I sold the weds and ended up picking up some temp. jdm 10 spokes as rollers.
Original parts, and a new to me fuel supply line from the homie Brayden (who also has a nice R project going).

Alright lads, we are on final approach to current time of this ITR's progress. If I've missed anything, I'll post later.
The clean up/ wiring pow-wow
CA items.....yaaay!
Swap ready to go in!!
Nerve wrecking times, but it slid in w/out a hiccup.
Fresh Hoses
Sourced an OE radiator w/ fans as I did not have one and I did not want an aftermarket replacement.
Ditched the OE cap for the themed one. Spoon hoses installed as well.
A new clutch line to compliment the new clutch employer and employee.
Thanks to JDM California I was able to source this P/S Heat shield.
BNIB ITR P/S Pump
Exhaust Manifold install

Engine bay looks great. Based off your previous thread, I thought the theme would be mugen.

I am extremely jealous of how well your bay came out. Your engine reminds me of my build ten years ago. I won an RDOT block at Type R Expo from a sponsor raffle. Those were the days, I didn't keep it clean.

Did you document all the AC pieces? I would like to create a thread for those (like myself) wishing to install/reinstall AC. Several items can be reinstalled, where as others, should be replaced.

Re: ITR 00-0874 ... Life after death
I have plans for the Mugen bits. I switched speeds when I allocated my second R.
It sure is a pain to find, I'm a nut for the little things I'd say. This was a legit concern of mine hahaha.
I live in so.cal. I apologize, but I can't elaborate on the rest right now w/out some misinformation happening.
Many thanks. There were MANY trips to the JYARD and Local Dealership to find a lot of the parts. Clip by clip I hunted the proper ones down.coolhandluke wrote: ↑Tue Jul 03, 2018 7:50 pm :whistles:

Do you have any pics? I'd love to see it. Can't beat a RDOT block, they're just beautiful new.
I did not sir. It's actually pretty straight forward. The only thing that needs to happen really is getting the order correct which is abs before AC, and clutch lines before abs. The components on car are the original. I will be replacing the receiver dryer and expansion valve.coolhandluke wrote: ↑Tue Jul 03, 2018 7:51 pm Did you document all the AC pieces?

If you guys have any technical questions please feel free to ask, 99% of this was handled in house. I don't mind sharing at all. Just don't ask for build secrets; general info. on the other hand is readily available, LOL

I do, I need to quit slacking a throw up a thread for 98-1040. I have started building a thread but I need to switch/create a photo hosting site. All of my photos are on PB. It's a fun story too. I bought 10x $5 raffle tickets at Type R Expo 8 and drove home with a block.

Yessir, will do. I aim to create a "How to Reinstall AC" thread when I do the installation. I have already collaborated with Ali/Devon/others on tips. Next steps are documenting, taking pics, and creating the guide once I confirm I have everything.
