    Here's some build pics of the cribbing blocks I made. I need to put end blocks on each one to keep the car from rolling off unexpectedly, which will also prepare it for a second level. Won't be making that yet as this was able to suffice, but more height would be great. I just need some idea of...

    Well this has been a pretty huge nightmare so far. I had the nut on the passenger side rear on the end of the innermost portion of the LCA break free from its welds, so I will have to tack it back in place. The driver side toe arm bushing was frozen to the bolt, so I had to cut it our and get a...

    Time for some more maintenance! A month or so ago I ordered a set of the Hardrace bushings from TunerSports. When Hardrace shipped them, they put in a set of ITR rear LCA bushings instead of front UCA's, but TunerSports was great in getting that sorted out. I finished the front side doing the...

    I got the rebuild kit on Saturday and noticed it on the porch Monday morning. When I had time in the late afternoon I unboxed it and went to town. It didnt take long but had some trouble pressing the countershaft back together, I didnt have it set up right and had to adjust to press it back...

    Rubbage issues

    Looks like toe-in wear to me, considering how much of that edge is missing compared to the rest of the tire. Heres a pic of a new tire. If you compare the side of yours thats worn against how much tread is shown on a new tire, youve got it pretty low (seeing how deep your tread is). With it...

    Thanks Dylan, I've heard that while searching for a transmission. Unfortunately, i dont have the scratch for it now. In the future, I will pick up a 1way LSD. I dont plan on doing anything other than daily driving it until I have another vehicle. I also read that the LS is slightly stronger and...

    Oil light flashing at idle

    You say oil squirters, so I assume B18C1. Those mains look MIGHTY loose. When I plastigaged my bearings, I aimed for .0015 pretty much everywhere. I ended up with between .0015 and .002 on most of them though. Pulled the below numbers from another site's picture of a service manual. Crank...

    I picked up a new-to-me transmission a couple weeks ago, cleaned it up, and started taking it apart. Its a B16 (EM1) non-LSD transmission. I'm ordering a synchrotech rebuild kit to replace all the syncros, hubs, and bearings, but wont be doing anything with the differential. Its cost prohibitive...

    some smoke

    Sometimes the crank can rotate when that much pressure is introduced into the cylinder pushing the piston down. That would open up the valves, but you would hear some air escaping. Have you tried just hooking the gauge up to your compressor without hooking it up to the car? Follow the...

    some smoke

    Did you or the previous owner have the car tuned when the turbo was installed? I dont think you can chip OBD2 ECUs, so there is probably a conversion harness attached to the computer to go from OBD2 to OBD1. Pop off the passenger kick panel and take a look. It will look something like this...

    lsd or not

    The only Integra that came factory with LSD is the Type R. Take both axles out, if you can see straight through the transmission, it has LSD. This is a surefire way to know if the transmission has an LSD installed. Im not very sure about the next two. Jack one of the front wheels off...

    Throttle body swap?

    No, the throttle body will attach directly to your current intake manifold, unless it specifies otherwise.

    Since the car has been driven a few miles, I decided to reset the valve lash. It was a little tight. My new battery also came in the mail, i think I will be doing something different with how it mounts, but I will save that for another day. The battery mounts on its back, and rotated 180* so the...

    Almost made a 30 minute drive in the car today. I was feeling good after taking it around the block and making sure everything was where it needed to be. I drove over to my parents house and started running hot on the highway and parked at a convenience store after I got off my exit. Let it cool...

    My car died today and is making this noise..

    You can do a leakdown test to see which cylinders have the problem. You put a cylinder at TDC then connect a tester to it thats attached to a air compressor and measure how much you're losing. I would just pull the head now since you have been told that the belt broke and look at the head with...

    1999 Acura Interga GSR Build Thread/Progress #Keepitstock

    Don't look cut to me. You can tell by how the spring coil gets closer at the end, and flattens out. If the spring was cut you wouldn't have that.

    It's going to be with me for a lifetime! I don't think I'll ever be able to part ways with it. And on a side note, there's a silver DB in the junkyard. I think I will go cut a piece out of the rear fender for a patch panel and take out the interior as it should all be black. Edit: Yep, got a...
