Stopped at Acura today to pickup the remaining parts to have heR get back on the ground



Brakes just about back together



Seeing the ITR unit is discontinued, I scooped the EM1. I’m going to find some brown heat shrink and replace the black.



That other 1%...



Now the bumper can go back on properly



Freshly NH-0’ed RDOT



OEM Acura wheel lock kit to go with the OEM lugs



Discontinued 98 checkered GSR mats



Filing and bleeding the cooling system. First time starting heR at night which was nice. It allowed me to notice the two 194 bulbs and plate lamps out in the rear

Yeah the more I look at it it isn’t either USDM or JDM

JDM ITR 4-1 header
JDM ITR cat (I think. It’s the shorter one)
OEM B pipe
OEM muffler

That's my setup as well because unfortunately i"m unable to source a complete usdm itr set up. Though I'm using a jdm b-pipe because the usdm b pipe is too short for the jdm cat. Yours must be jdm as well for that setup or your b-pipe was modified.

I'm always curious about the different ways people deal with the secondary O2 sensor (when using jdm cat). What's your setup with that?

To be honest. Maybe it’s not the JDM cat the more I think about it. To me it just looked shorter. Maybe aftermarket? They used the sensor in the rear.

And yes. They made some modifications before the B pipe to help with length. Also I made a 3” extension in the rear.

Your axle is not all the way in the half shaft.

Cat is definitely aftermarket. Did that bumper come painted?

No. I had it painted. Only the lips come painted.

Thank you!

No. I had it painted. Only the lips come painted.

Thought so. The box in the photo threw me off. The bumper I just got didn’t come painted. Your car is really coming along nicely! We need to restore these cars before all the parts are gone

Yes, that is my lip in there. Pretty excited to see it all go back on this week. Finally!

I've been trying to buy the last few things I would need for an exterior restoration.

-Roof drip moldings
-Door sashes
-Windshield moldings
-Rear quarter glass

Received a package yesterday from Cris over at iRunOEM (Express Acura Parts). Usually I get all my OEM parts through my works dealership account due to cost. He has been very competitive price wise and able to locate parts my local dealer has told me are discontinued. Here’s the most recent order





Started with the upper steering column. It’s so nice seeing brand new plastic installed in the car that I had to rush and order the lower column cover. You don’t realize how trashed they are until you see your old next to new.



Good excuse to remove the tails and detail behind them



What’s in the box?



Once again, brand new plastic! Replaced this on my EM1 as well and let me tell you. It’s probably one of the best low key parts you can buy. Makes such a difference when installed.
