Long time between updates. Car hasn't been driven much.
A few things done tho, Picked up some cheap 2nd hand Spoon strut bars from japan, Polished them up and they look awesome. Painted my valve cover Spoon yellow. Installed a Cusco Master Cylinder Brace. NSX Brake Master cylinder as the seals in mine were dead. Bought a bunch of parts to add the the pile of stuff not installed yet,
Samco Radiator Hoses + T-bar Clamps
Spoon 4-1 Header
Spoon Street Muffler
'98 ITR Front Calipers
282mm DBA4000 Slotted rotors
Endless MXRS Front Pads
In other news i have moved to Sydney for a new job, I am currently in Sydney but the Integra is at the parents on the Gold Coast, I will be driving it down in 2 weeks and i will bring it out to a meet when i have it down. I also got very over the shit handling of my daily Jazz, so i dropped it on Tanabe coilovers and installed a spoon front sway. It has made it better but still could be better.
Pic of the Engine bay with stuff installed, All the rusty bolts have been replaced with stainless dress washers and bolts, Looks heaps better but still needs a good scrub and detail.

Ever since moving to Sydney i've been bloody busy with work and had only driven the car a whole 5m to give it a wash than back into the garage. I had a few days a few weeks ago and decided to get stuck into fixing it and making it drivable again.
The brakes were rooted, the seals in everything were gone, You foot would quickly sink to the floor when the brake pedal was pressed, the front calipers were leaking and sticking badly and the rotors were just under their minimum thickness. Being a '96 JDM, it's the only car in the world with those exact size and specs rotors, no one is aus had them and getting shipping from japan was silly expensive. So i went bigger brakes
2002 CRV front calipers($38 from a wreckers!), OEM caliper rebuild kit, DBA T3 rotors for a BB6 Prelude and new Endless MXRS dc2r pads. Stock '96 rotor are 262mm the new ones are 282mm, same as AUDM and '98 JDM, So for just a tiny bit more in price i got bigger brakes.
Compared to the old brakes, even when they were good, these are amazing, so much more power and control. I still have to do the rear brakes, i have '98r calipers to go on i'm just waiting for rotors to turn up.
I have also installed Spoon 4-1 headers with new OEM gaskets and ARP studs, Spoon street muffler, black Samco radiator hoses and re-glued the fabric that was falling off my drivers door. I don't have pics of any of these yet as i'm lazy with taking pics, once i give the car a good clean i will take some good ones.
A whole heap of new Hardrace bushes turned up yesterday thank to JDMyard to replace all the dead ones. I will be replacing every bush in the car except the ones on the Zeals. Also thanks to who ever posted the discount for the bushes on the CITR Facebook page. But looking at my schedule i wont really have any proper time to work on the car till April.

None, NSW plates, rego and insurance is stupid expensive compared to QLD, so i'm just going to keep it registered up there for as long as possible.Originally posted by wongy View PostComment
