I encourage enjoying via driving / tracking / wiping with a diaper post-restoration.

Keep the updates coming. The fpr is the one where you have to cut the oem fpr ?

Nice to see you’re progressively getting to the finish line! Those headlights look great, as well as the transmission. You’re putting me to shame.

Thanks man, but please let it be a motivator more than anything.


UPDATES WOOT WOOT! Finally the bumper support, battery tray, and AC Line bracket is back from paint.

and I installed injectors and rail....whoopy





Side note: Does anyone know of a rubber molding company? That can create new parts?

what rubber molding are you in need of for the caR? I only ask because ive been able to order pretty much any piece of rubber needed from acura for my 97 restoration project.

The UKDM fog light bezels.

To my knowledge it's discontinued. I thought I had the part # once upon a time, but it must have been incorrect, as I've yet to get a response.

OEM Caliper rebuild kit, 1 was in stock the other was a jp order....ooh fancy right.



I had put up a WTB for a starter w/ oem labels, didn't get much response. One was crusty, the other guy wanted $150. I opted out for a reman Denso, for less. I always try to buy from people before I purchase from businesses, it just doesn't always work out that way. Time to find an ECU, button up a few things and she should be ready to fire up.

Looks good, seems like it’ll be ready to start anyway now. The bumper support and battery test came out nice! Which reminds me that I don’t have front or rear bumper supports
