1996 Integra GSR Sedan

Hope your feeling better by now. saw on TI you were working on the door panels

 

Yeah, i have officially surrendered with those door panels. they make me so mad lol

 

haha i know i wouldnt have the patience to even try if that makes you feel any better.


starting to feel that way about my passenger window too. rolls down from driver switch just not up. ordered replacement switch and it doesnt roll down or up. even tested it.

 

now thats odd, just from the driver's switch? Like, it works fine on the passenger switch?

 

yeah just the drivers switch. passenger works fine

 

thats gonna suck a fat one if you have to trace wires lol

 

i dont think i should have too. i hope..lol. based on the diagram it has to be good wiring for the window to go down or up since the passenger switch goes through the master for grounds.

 

So, i have abandoned my plans for the black and tan interior. It looked great in my head, but as i layed out all of the pieces, i did not like it. at all. I also completed my climate control and switch conversion to LED. I did forget about my fog light switch though. I'm not sure where the other light is that powers it though. There has to be 2 different lights associated with the switch.

The green bulb is the one that powers the light under the fog lights symbol when the light is activated. I cant find the bulb for the "running light" of the fog light switch. The one that lights up the symbol. I'm assuming i have to take apart the switch?



Current state of the car


And the reason I have been slacking so much on the car. I have been spending basically every free second I get hanging out with this little guy. He is so great, hands down the best thing i've ever done lol. Cant believe he will be 6 months old in just a couple of weeks.

 

I havent updated this in a while, i'm not sure where to start, so this is what i completed this weekend.

I installed a myhondahabit oil pan gasket, and i've been getting some oil seeping and actually pooling under the car. I'll be checking the oil pan again today after work. i reset my torque wrench (still using the 1/4" drive) and went back around the bolts again just to double check my previous work. All but 3 clicked immediately and the three that needed to be tightened a bit more didnt take much to meet spec. so i wiped the pan down again and we'll see what happens.

The car should be on the road this upcoming weekend as long as the oil pan plays nicely. The windshield area rust repair really set me back with all of that extra work i was anticipating. I finished up the AC work this weekend - replaced all of the o-rings, new compressor, new evap core, new dryer, new condenser, etc..., finished putting the interior back together, mounted the fenders and hood loosely so i can adjust gaps, buffed a couple of scratches nearly 100% out of my new to me bumper, installed 2 kill switches for fuel and ignition, had to fix my power door lock security mod because a relay crapped out, polished up the headlights, and a few miscellaneous things i cleaned up in the car overall.

Items left to complete - reinstall exhaust manifold, reinstall fender liners and splash guard, transfer jdm fog lights and ITR type lip from the old bumper to the new bumper,adjust the gaps on the fenders, hood and bumper, and that should be it. of course, this is all pending the oil plan wanting to play nicely.

Then off to inspection and to get the a/c recharged and then be good to go!


And this was such a huge fail. I saw this CD on ebay and i thought this looks pretty cool and would be neat to have in the car, but it didnt have a track listing at all shown in the ad. i took a gamble at $5, i thought it is an acura luxury cd....maybe it has some jazz or some classical or something. I get down with some jazz and classical music every now and then. But no, this collection of music is much much worse.....FAIL on my part.

 

Whew, that's some easy listening there!

 

Yeah, a bit toooo easy for me lol. i'll keep the case and put a different CD in there lol

 

Awesome! My DD is a red 97 LS. Been wanting to do a h22 swap on it for awhile, but been throwing all my money at my Taco right now haha.

 

This is an older picture. Her paint don't look nearly as good now.

 

welcome back. glad to see you have the car mostly done. im sure the baby is taking most of your time.

why would you put an h22 in it? stick with a b or go k.

 

yeah, i'm hanging out with him pretty much all the time lol. I work on the car just about every weekend, i just suck at updating.

here's a good one:

 

Its cheaper!

 

thats awesome. i still have a few minor things on my car that are annoying but its enjoyable to drive.

stick with a b then...

 

i cant wait to drive mine again. next year should be the "final phase" for getting the car where i want it.

 

I've been closing on a house, so mine has been on hold. The other day I realized I'll have to move her in a month so that lit a fire under my ass to start the JDM front swap and get her rolling again.

 

if i had to move my car to another house right now, i would need a uhaul trailer just for the extra parts i have lol
