Well I ordered my JDM Type R front bumper with the lip today, as well as the hood latch and cable for the conversion...making progress!! Well since I have taken like a 2 week break in doing much with the car, I decided to work on her for about 2 hours this evening, here's what I got accomplished with a huge helping hand from my buddy Mike. Mike has a project integra that I will snap some photos of in the next few days, it is a RHD JDM front car that he has done completely by himself, he even paints...haha. Between him and myself we are the 2 honda "gods" of this area....scary when you realize that...lol. Anyways, on to the pictures....


Removing the radiator tabs off the JDM radiator support, they are being replaced by the ones on my tracktion bar


Here's a hint of what I did.....Notice the headlights, not mine, they are Mike's he had these left over after he got his ITR's so he is letting me borrow them for alignment of the rad. support. This guy is the best!!


Just need some primer now....


And off.....




Sexy!!! Will be even better with the HID ITR's!!!


Drilling out the spot welds....


More spot welds....


Mike doing his thing.

Tell Mike he is gay. Really gay.

I would leave the support off till you put the motor in. Whole lot easier to roll the motor in then to lift it in.

Paint the car first, then install motor, then rad support. How hard is that?

I don't care if you have a cherry picker I still picture so scratching something .

Just bolt the rad support on for easy removal.
