I had plans to complete the car at Adam's shop. However, finding time to get down there was a challenge.
Some ugly wiring due to theft and repair. The harness used to replace much of it was from an LS with added yellow wires for VTEC. This was a bit problematic down the road and repaired properly (credit to those 2 will be mentioned in here when I get there).
In my planning, I already had a bunch of spare items including a transmission, extra front seats, spare engine items including distributors, etc. This should be easy...(or so I thought)
In Feb 2017, I purchased an incomplete long block from a community member for an affordable price. What I should have remembered is that you get what you pay for. In this case, it was missing more items than expected. Worse, it's kind of a dud. Details later.
Fast forward to May, and Adam loaded up the car and engine on his trailer and brought it to our old home. I thanked him with a bottle of gin, haha.
One of our neighbors was a mechanic and recognized what the car was as we were unloading it. Those are always funny conversations along with that slight nervousness due to theft. Thankfully, he was a great guy and even loaned me a tool when needed.
The following weekend, I got started. A friend whom I worked with at Acura came by to check it out and lend a hand multiple times. My wife shared this photo apparently...
I was making a list of everything that needs to be addressed in here before dropping an engine in...
...and as large as that list was, I still missed a few things.
Speaking of items, I believe this is a Seibon ITR CF wing, half painted CW. It came with the car and is super light. I do plan to sell it, if anyone is interested.
