Paint should be finished this week sometime along with my battery box.
I ghetto-rigged it to start. Literally a set of jumper cables from the battery to the shock mounting bolt and positive wire from my relocation. She runs with code 9. Interwebz tells me I just have to properly adjust the idle and it will work properly!!!
Pictures of all the body parts off that are being repainted... looks like crap. :P
my exhaust is definitely leaking, right before the muffler. sounds buzzy.
Washed my buddy's EL today. He under-estimates it, and doesn't understand just how nice it could be... few flaws, nothing major.
Started debadging as well... not on purpose. The Acura emblem came off in the car wash. :P
I know of a certain hobo that might want the emblems lol.

you'll have to let me know if you want the Acura "A" as well. Not sure if we're removing those ones.
Got word on a few things today. My rear bumper is finished paint, ready to pick up tomorrow. Battery box is ready to pick up. The rest of the panels are in primer, awaiting paint today or tomorrow. If all goes well, by the end of the week, I'll be driving a real car again.

it looks way worse in person. the filler piece between the headlights and bumper doesn't hide the bumper screws along the front. looks like there are teeth. :/
Hoping to get a cruise out of her tonight. hoping, anyways. I'll snap some pics if I get the new wheels on.

She is running well. I took her on the maiden voyage and she performs great even with code 9.
Launch control is sweet. Suspension is a little bouncy, and needs an alignment. Wonderful to drive my little car again.
Still needs the hood centered...
I was looking at my old build thread from when I was like... 16 or 17 or something, on here, it's hillarious.

To Do list
- Power windows I still want to do this! I have the parts for it!
- Power mirrors Again, I still have parts for this! And the knowledge!
- Sunroof* I actually have parts for this too now. Lol.
- Heated Seats Oddly, I have EL heated seats with switches... I was considering putting them in.
- 1997 Integra front and rear seats Si is so much better.
- Completely redoing the interior Nope, no paint. OEM black interior FTW.
- New vinyl
- Black everything...
- Rear power windows... ... Imaginative. But so not worth the effort. It's because I used to smoke, and wanted ventilation.
- B16A Swap (with tranny, unsure of which one to use) D16 vtak yo
- Rear disk brakes That's my next project for this car...
- Lighted ashtrays Because smoking. OEM ftw.
- Map light Did it to the CRX... Should do it to this one too.
- Factory cruise control button placement (On the steering wheel) Lawl. Noooo. Cruise is so much effort.
- Blue lit gauges + climate control I used to be a ricer.
- Fog lights Have the parts... but not in good shape
- Power Steering ... Just no. :P
- Rear wiper Got a DX. Problem solved.
- Fixing the rust holes, new tint No rust, got tint. Woop.
- Larger front brakes, from an SI or DA? OEM DX knuckle big brake from Accord wagon. Got the parts!
- Auto-dimming mirror with compass and temperature Still want this... if anyone knows of anything....
Done thus far
- 1988 CRX gauges I now has Si gauges
- Integra centre console Necessary.
- AC ... I did NOT install AC? :/
- Cargo cover (Hand made, waiting for a replacement) I wish I had pictures of this thing. It was SICK! I was so proud.
- DX Door cards, with the pockets Ooooo so fancy, amirite?
- Cruise NEVAR again.
