So I bought this car from an older gentleman around February. He sold it dirt cheap because it hurt his knees getting in and out.

Here it is the first day I got it. Drove it from Jacksonville to Lakeland at 3 am with no tag.






even stock speakers


This car was bone fucking stock and filthy. The guy didn't like it....he just drove it.



The next day I had it weighed before i started my swap. then got it aligned.



After selling my CB7 to my gf at the time with no motor i bought these with matching axles.




Traded my stock uncomfortable seats to a great friend of mine, DriveMod03 for some Teg seats.....i love them!

 

Next step was too sell the poor, worn out y8. sold swap consisting of:

motor
trans
axles
rad hoses
shift assembly
ecu
powersteering
intake
exhaust

 

Once the motor was out.....the cleaning and modifications began...






i used an old long block too mock the engine bay for the mounts.








The CB7 bracket doesnt fit at all. HAd too buy a new bb4 bracket from Innovative i think.



Hood clearance was better than expected

 

Then came installation of the shifter assembly. I LOVE MY DREMEL!!!!!



took hours making everything fit perfect.










sits perfect

 

I took a few months to catch up on some bills then started on the motor rebuild.




its been a slow process on the motor. im building it at my uncles machine shop. i work a lot so i can only put in about 4-5 hours a week if im lucky.

 

I did work some overtime too pay for some goodies. PWJDM vtec solenoid cover, battery tie down, CTR shift boot

MSD coil, NGK wires, Inline4 billet plug cover, black chrome valve cover. which is being replaced for the 3rd time.

 

Bought some more shit. Skunk2 knob and CTR shift boot finished the shift assembly. would like too get a forbidden shifter though. also installed some corsport shifter bushings too.


New Clutch slave and master cylinder. Custom braided lines. High quality. New throttle cable. h swap ac bracket. BB4 rear bracket.












had the wrong fucking line made. this will fit an ek. its for sale


Battery terminals and all grounds have been replaced and wires have been upgraded too 4 guage.



New distributor with msd cap and rotor.

 

i waited months too have a certain made. Its custom made by a little company called Goodson. its like 1 of 2 made.




Custom FRM flex hone. Specificity made for my h22. it consist of a carbon and silicone deposit i think. iunno some shit. i just know i waited forever. this allowed me too really start on the motor.

 

Saving weight is my main goal for this project. hints why i did this. The pink shit is for my ex's build. i just used them for weight records. im not using a lot of this. i still have too weigh my jdm exhaust, intake, and new ac bracket i think.

stock h22 flywheel (not JDM)


my old act streetlite


my new act prolite


balance shafts


f or h ps bracket (not using. but recorded anyways)


f/h front mount bracket


f/h ac bracket


f/h alt bracket


im installing the kazinspeed eliminator kit as well. all balance shaft shit will be weighed as well.


weighed my kiddracing header. Poor quality. Flange is warped 20 thousandths. expected it. ill fix it though.

 

Finally i was able too really start on the motor.
