wire tuck work… by Matt Gonzo!.., on Flickr
Well since I had nothing else better to do one day, I went and started to wire tuck it! I put grommets around the bare metal to make sure i don’t have it chafing the wire away…
…and please excuse the hood rat rims and ebay parts need them to roll around on while i do work on her

good buy with the da man. you seem to be on the right path. with your brothers DA looking as clean as it is you for sure have a good looking future with him being our mentor or whatever.

where did you get that white wire in the middle of the picture?

The red integra looks clean. The wiring process on your car seems to be neat and organized. :up:

Diving right in I see…looks good so far.

when I deloomed the wires for the fuse box I ran them inside and zip tied them up…

yeah I might as well do it since the motor is out! your car is awesome!

Nah man… WHERE did you get the wire. Like where did you purchase the white wire from and what gauge is it.

ohh it is just the OEM wires… :facepalm:

That bundle of white wire is oem? You cut open the loom and found a bunch of white wires?

yes it is OEM.

Well I got this for free today… not in the best condition but hell for free… lol :hi5:

Nice work so far man… I love those little red and white baggies :wink:

It’s a great feeling when you get to open them tooo!

ive seen that red db2 for sale a while back. very nice

Maybe its just me but I always cringe when I open them. Honda is discontinuing so much stuff, so quickly, that I always have a hard time with it. Haha

Keep the updates coming! I’m tuned into your build

Well guys sorry for not posting updates so here is where I’m at, between work and school hard to get time in for this thing.
So here is when I was installing the flywheel!
sorry for the iphone pics my cam went down in Lake Havasu

Feel Pretty Stoked! I got my motor and trans put it together by myself! I love that dam flywheel (chromoly) :rockon:
So I got the motor and trans done and got that off my check list now it is too the interior and cleaning that up.

If anyone has Good Cond. Black Manual Door Panels…?
also if anyone has done a battery relocation whats a good box and location.

I ordered mine battery relocator kit from jegs $87 & put in the right rear corner & ran the long posi cable inside along passenger side under carpet & drilled a hole under the blower fan comes right out by the starter
