ITR 00-0874 ... Life after death

[JDMJNKY]

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.

Flickr my friend, Flickr. The best free hosting site there is. whaaaaat? What a deal, that's a story I'd like to hear.

Build secrets?

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.

HAHA engine related thoughts.

If I get to my black R and it's AC I'll definitely take the best images I can. I wish I did, looking back, it was a small puzzle.

Attending Type R Expo has its advantages. For just OEM parts, Acura Express Parts has raffled off:
-BNIB 98 Front Lip
-BNIB Rear Brake set
-BNIB Floor mats
-BNIB Valve Covers
....other sponsors have raffled off more none-OEM parts.

Good call. I will start working on that project....tomorrow.

As if seeing bunch of sweet ITRs in action wasn't enough. Those types of raffles definitely sweeten the deal.


A buddy of mine named Jared, sent me these beauties; they needed some internal cleaning but that was fairly easy. I was stoked to get them on.








JUNKYARD FINDS



A step back to enjoy.

I love the resurrection. Why did you swap out the yellow doors for the white ones?

Thanks Stin. I plan to completely strip the doors down and have them resprayed, that's why they are currently not on the car.

Lost files. Re-coated the gas tank after changing out the fuel feed line.





Updates:

Harness arrives



Induction tuning - great OEM+ option. Looks stock and holds it's weight on a dyno.



Fuel Delivery - in my quest for simple bells and whistles I sourced me one of them 'der classic B&M FPR's, to join an OEM rail, regulator, and Type S K series injectors. Why? They flow 310cc-550cc (with modded tips) leaving me with enough flow to explore e85 in the future.



Some deals you just can't pass up (if you're talking to a car guy; my wife says otherwise)!





Calipers return from PC. I didn't know the letters were freshly done and guess what was the first thing I did.....yup, touch the letters lol







Brake setup will be boasting 11.8 F and 10.3 Rear



Lastly, A once dingy and dirty linkage, cleaned up.

Fantastic updates, thank you for sharing. This is exciting!

HEHE It is. A few more steps and she'll be rolling and or drivable.

I just read this thread from the start, major kudos on the dedication and stringent attention to detail. You’ll be left with post partum disorder when it’s complete, be mentally ready for that.

HAHA Thanks Buck, I hope not. The upside and downside is I still have to finish a few more cars, God willing. This one however, is and has been the draining vehicle for me lately. I don't know if it's the headaches I've had along the way or the socal heatwave.
