I am impressed, I plan to go back and clean up my wiring when I reinstall AC into 98-1040. I recall the wiring being entirely too long... This is such a nice safety feature to have after getting used to a reverse camera in my RS.

Yup, serves as both.

I'm already short and then sit even lower b/c of the Mugen seat so it's a bit difficult see well behind me. Before I used to just slaps things in call it a day but with time to spare these days I can really take my time to make a nice, clean & tidy install.

y shi - who's still working on the audio & security wiring and kind of embarassed at the amount of extra wiring that's been cut out so far

Dare I attempt to clean up my wiring during this off time....Either way, thank you for the tips!

I don't recall seeing it that day but that's pretty neat

Yup, since day 1. Car arrived at dealer in the morning and straight to PDI off the truck. I got to the dealer right after they finished.

I know Kepani is orig owner of his ITR

Chase had posted this on HT years ago but the photos there no longer appear.
Short version: Get a door actuator from an Odyssey. Remove the one necessary part (see below) and put that into the Integra's actuator.


The infamous trunk actuator broke on my car after just a few years but never bothered to fix it until few days ago.


Close up of the broken part


Odyssey part #


The keyhole shaped piece is behind the gear circled in red. That's the only part you really need. The gears may look the same as the ones in the Integra but they are not.
The motor circled in green doesn't have to be replaced but I did anyway...just because.


y shi - who's still working on the audio wiring and will have pix of that soon

Yesss! I will be doing this ASAP. This was very helpful.

Replaced the Clutch Master Cylinder and also the slave cylinder while I was at it.
Steps are pretty straight forward. Have 10mm line wrench handy.
Only recommendation I have is to have a bag ready to catch the fluid when the lines are removed. Try to avoid spilling as it will remove the paint

Not too bad after 20 years




*barf*


ahh, much better


Cleaned the old hose, lubed with Honda shin-etsu to rejuvenate and then placed the clamps back to the same spot as before


New & old slave cylinder


Bleed the air out of the lines and all done!

Replaced fuel filter. Should've done this years ago but better late than never
If you're gonna do this, be sure to use a line wrench (12mm) underneath.



New one from "irumoem"


shiney!

Any tips for adjusting the CMC freeplay? It always seems like a dark art...

I will also emphasize how much easier line/flare wrenches help. The fuel or CMC bolts are easy to round.

Awesome

Don't worry much about spilling brake fluid on your paint as it's water soluble and will rinse away with water only!!
