Sounds good!
Just curious if your swap passed BAR, been contemplating relocating out west and still want to do this swap
I havenāt even tried to get it barād yet. But Iāve heard that you canāt bar a Jdm motor.
On a side note I received my carpet that I ordered a little bit ago. Iām excited to get the carpet in a give the interior a fresh new feel. Iām also looking into possibly doing a respray myself in the interior to freshen that up as well. the car is getting closer and closer at the paint shop. All I need to get finished is get my rims, x-bar, intake, seat bracket, tie bar and a few small parts powdercoated and get new CPF stickers, also need to re POR15 my front inner fenders that got burnt from welding, I need to get the brakes replaced, and trying to decide if I want to get Legend or NSX brakes, and do the mini cooper brake rotors.
Motors can still be bard. I know someone here local recently got his Jdm h22 bard in his cb7 accord last week. It just depends on which ref you go to. Some are stricker than others so he went out of town to get it done. But yeah canāt wait to see your ride.
So a little update, flying home today and finally get to put some work into the teg! Car should hopefully be out of paint this week so Iām excited! Time to get her ready for eibach!!
Looking forward to see it at eibach
Wish I had funds to go all out on mine too
just caught up. those are some nice visors you got there so since your home, when the teg get there??
The visors are nice forsure! Can;t wait to throw them on the car with everything else! The teg should be done this week or next from what my buddy says that works at the shop! And tell you what couldnt come soon enough, I miss driving my carā¦
[QUOTE=iloveda9;2290826]Looking forward to see it at eibach

Well Iām not going ALL out but definitely throwing a little bit of money out there. lol Yeah Eibach should be awesome, it will forsure be done by then so I can get her down there.
Sorry about the no updates guys! Iāve been so busy with work and life right now. I havent had much to do to the teg or any parts since itās still at the paint shop. Yesterday I did manage to go and check it out and see how its turning out, and to pick up my rims and tires to get dismounted and powdercoated. The car is completely prepped and ready for paint. The body guys have been messing around with the engine bay since they have the time too and make it better. Overall everything was looking good on her. It sucks seeing having other people working on the car since I like to do all the work myself. But I wanted the paint to be perfect. Heres a pic I snapped before my camera diedā¦forgot to charge it.
Also been really busy with the newest addition to the family. My girlfriend and I got a little puppy 2 weeks ago we named her Juneau. She takes up alot of time, but I love her to death!
Heres one with the girlfriend and the little pup!
MMMM im so excited for you. Im suprised you didnt make them pull that brake booster and all those cables and is that the charcol canister they taped up??? do they relize it just slides off. lol
Ill be honest. those eyes weird me out a little bit
EDIT: nvm. A/C lines
The charcoal canister has been removed for a long time Iām not sure what they taped up right there, I canāt remember. I might ask them to remove the booster for paint.
The eyes can be a little creppy but I love them because of how unique it is. Sheās a awesome dog though we got her at 6 weeks and now sheās 8 weeks and she already is pretty well potty trained.
Okay guys hereās some huge updates for you guys, unle!ss you are friendās with me on facebook then you already know! Car has been primed and sprayed! it still needs its clear coat laid on but itās so close! And honestly I couldnt be any happier with how it looks from the pictures! Car should hopefully be done by this weekend so I can finally put some work into it, and get it finished!
All primed up!
Looks beautiful even without the clear! Notice the shaved rear sprayer.
Heres the bay all painted up!
I will have some more updates for you guys soon enough once I get more pics and she gets back home to me!
looks awesome dustin!
Wohoo! Awesome updates! They did a great job. Having the doors and hatch off etc is soo much work! The bay of this car just went to the next level as well :rockon:.
Thanks man! Itās truly a dream come true to have a amazing paint job like this. They sprayed the clear coat today and it looks amazing. I will post them up tonight when I get off work. Yeah they did the prep work all perfect on the outside of rhe car. They are also spraying clear on my carbon fiber pieces.
Heres the pictures as promised! The paint from the pics looks flawless and I cant wait to see it in the sunlight and see it shine! Everything looks really good, and my buddy who works at the shop said the rest of the car should be finished but this week and hopefully back on saturday. I also had my rims sent in to get powdercoated gloss white to match original and get my toyoās mounted on them. If all goes well I should have them back on saturday with the rest of the car!
Probably my favorite one right here! Even though itās a cell pic you can see how clear and the depth in the paint.
Looks great man!
Yes! Such an awesome accomplishment.
Once itās back together youāll almost not want to track it lol.
The color looks great. Itās gonna look great once you get it back together.
Paint looks very good, and that bay is also quite nice. Wish I knew a reputable painter in my area
