The bracket is on its way man!
Hell yeah! Thanks again man. Let me know what I owe you.
I got your email and will keep my eyes peeled!
You don’t owe me anything man, glad I could help! And thanks for looking out for me!

Thanks again, rollinmyda! It’s nice to have a proper setup now!
So… A bit of backstory quickly. The car’s registration is expired… winter is coming, and I may be moving away from UT.
I had a hard time wanting to spend the couple hundred to get reg/inspection/emission for the car to sit all winter, and while I’m away… but the car had a ton of bugs still on it from the last drive I went on.
Thankfully there is a car wash maybe .2mi from where I store it. I got it all washed up and ready to sit. I’m going to put it on jackstands also… Any other advice for long term storage? I’m definitely putting a couple packs of rat poison by the car just in case. I’d hate a rodent to get into the car and/or wiring.
Looks good Sean! Much better than before, glad to see it put to use rather than just sitting in a wrapper!
Where are you planning to relocate too? Away from harsh winters? CA is pretty nice… Lol
CA would be awesome! I’ve spent a lot of time out there… SD, LA, Sac, Bakersfield etc… I’ll end up there one day!
I’m actually heading south-east. I have a good amount of friends out there with a few in’s in different fields… I’m not doing anything in Utah worth staying for. While I’m still kinda-semi-not’really young, I really need to do something about a career path. While the opportunity is present I hope to take it as the kick in the pants that gets me doing something.
I’ll definitely be sticking around G2IC… but this thread will be pretty quiet other than updates of parts being bought etc.
Plans are:
Wheel bearings all around
Full bushing re-vamp. LCA/RTA/Endlinks etc etc.
New Coilover setup, still unsure if it will be GC/Koni or something else.
The bay is going to be done eventually… not a crazy shave, but mainly the obscene holes that are un-used, and a very mild tuck of wires.
And ultimately, I’m already thinking of a different motor setup…
Obviously this is a long term, loose plan… but once the dough comes pouring in 
then the car will be done properly.
Haha, I’m all for doing bigger better things. Get the dough stream flowing! 
I like how you are no longer talking about losing the spark, with your plans it seems like the passion is reignited. Really really good to hear!
" then the car will be done properly." If this is not proper can;t wait to see when you start the journey. Best of luck with your career path.
I just read thru your entire thread and i just want to say you build a great car. Love the detail work you did on the paint and body. 
Build is awesome man, love the color! Where can i find an antenna like that? I’ve looked everywhere
Thanks sir! It definitely has come a long way since I bought it. Though far from finished!
Thanks for the compliments dude!
Check out this post I made a while back… The link still works, so I’d just email them first and see if they still have them in stock.

Snapped this shot earlier this morning. Got the tensioner and spring in the mail last night, so today I was putting all my new parts in a box. Just organizing crap before I leave.
Red stitched ITR shift boot, Skunk2 rear camber kit, tensioner, tensioner spring, OEM DA6 sidemarkers and a replacement OEM clock… Mine had scratches all over the face for some reasonand I never got around to replacing it.
DUDE!!! You’re awesome thanks!!!
I don’t think anyone can actually say that they are finish with a car. It might stay a certain way for a time, but eventually it will change or parts will be added. In my case, when I started to build my car I said to myself “i just want an lsv and I will be happy.” Now after 30k miles on my lsv, im thinking on going boost or nitrous on a b17 that I have. lol We never finish. :crazy:
Awesome thread. I love the build. Good luck with your move and thanks for all the advice on the 2nd Gen Integra page on fb. My CRVtec now has a few changes coming. I’ll reach that 240 whp yet. 
How did installing the rear skunk2 camber kit go for you? I seem to remember having a hell of a time getting the arms lined up with the bolt holes.
Hah! Thanks man. It’s not much but I have learned a LOT in the past few years because of this car… good times!
Looking forward to see what parts you go with!
I actually haven’t even installed the S2 set yet… Still riding on the RevoTechnica setup in the rear. If I recall, installing the RT kit wasn’t bad at all. But I’ll definitely keep your words in mind when the time comes.
Man this build gets better and better. It’s like a fine wine. I can’t think of any other car that’s aging or maturing this nicely. Keep it up mang!
Haha I have a similar shot! Yours 1 ups mine tho 
Too kind, brotha.
I really need to shoot you an email
Not really much of an update at all… but…
I still have that pair of “Mugen” replica sideskirts of my buddies. He requested that I shave the emblem indent because he doesn’t plan to install any.
To begin with, I was on the fence between making a mold so I can make a set for myself… after deliberating, ViS listed them as a current part, so I figured the labor wasn’t worth it.
Well, after looking a week or so ago, their site no longer lists these for sale anymore… in summary, I’m going to fabricate a mold so I can make a set of sideskirts for myself. I’ll be sure to take photos of the process and show you (some) steps in how it’s done
There really isn’t much new that’s going on with my car… Though at the end of April is the local yearly Import Spring Showoff, and my car needs a few things to be ready for that. Last year over 1,000 cars showed, and we’re hoping it’s bigger this year! My brother and I are actually sponsoring the event so we will be having a booth. Since what we do is more of a ‘service’ rather than ‘goods’, we decided the majority of our display is going to be our cars.
I need to swap in the ‘new’ OEM carpet that I dyed black. Even though I’m not totally happy with it… To install the OEM armrest (Thanks again rollinmyDA!) the carpet needs to be cut for the bracket. Might as well cut the carpet I’m not happy with, and keep my current OE carpet around as the spare.
The ‘whine’ I’ve been having has been concerning me. While people have told me that they have heard Gates blue belts whine a bit, my brothers car is nowhere near as loud as mine… both with similar tension. The only things I cheaped out on where the motor is concerned is the water pump and tensioner. They were in a timing belt kit I bought off of eBay which consisted of a GMB pump/tensioner and KLM belt. After ditching my first motor build, those were the left over parts I had, so I used them. Bad move, I’m thinking. I have a new OEM tensioner and spring to install, and am praying that my whine goes away. Otherwise I’m at a loss.
I do have the BNIB sidemarkers but am not sure if I can bring myself to cut up the fenders. Meh. Anyway, once those things are done, I will polish and wax the car, and be ready.
While mine is the more OEM-restore. My brother’s '98 Civic coupe is more along the lines of a full aftermarket build. ITR Recaro’s, Personal steering wheel, new black carpet, ITR style upholstered rear seats, BBS RS wheels,OE visors, JDM folding mirrors, Spoon side mirror inserts, Spoon rear view insert, Skunk2 Pro-S suspension, 197whp B16, etc. So our display is a contrast of what we can do.
Here is the Civic as of EARLY last week. It’s been a 5-year project… going as long as mine. He has just now gotten the motivation to finish the exterior.
Said 197whp B16, satin-black engine bay.
Freshly painted, as of last week. The color is Tuxedo Black off of various Ford/Lincoln cars.
Shameless plug… Dunno if anyone remembers this car from a few years ago, owned by MidoriEKing. We had the pleasure in doing the bay and paint work. Sadly this isn’t in existence anymore, but we hope to keep the standards going with my brothers and my cars.
Glad to hear you’ve found a source of motivation to put some time in working on the car again! Also cool to hear that it’ll be on display to showcase your work!
