linluv84 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Ah, gotcha. Mine is setup the same way. I assumed that was basically the stock setup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Not much progress to report. The dash is going nowhere and nothing to report on the car. Got my oil pan from pat1. Looks amazing. The shop I bought my engine from offered to put it in for $300. I couldn't pass it up. I'm waiting on them to schedule an install date. I'm gonna take as much info as I can to keep this thread useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 300 $ is a good deal IMO. thanks for the all info you put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ive been waiting a while for this shop. I am almost tempted to do it myself anyway. I just hate feeling like there isnt any progress happening. The only reason I am ok with it is that im super busy at work and havent had much time to do any work of my own anyway.

I really wish i had your knowledge on cars where did you learn at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 I don't have much actual knowledge. Just do a lot of reading and a bit of trial and error. There's not much u can do to a car that can't be undone. Thanks for all the kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoman Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Vtec can kiss VCT's a@@! The car is stating to come together, i bet you cant wait to hear the sound of that rb for the first time. I know that i can't. I always find my self on YouTube watching videos of Rb's. I was looking looking at your surge tank, and you might want to put a grommet where the fuel lines are coming through the car. Just to keep them from getting chewed up. The dash is looking good. I tried doing that with mine, but went with custom dash instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5thgenluder Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I absolutely cant wait. I really want to get some work done this week. Hopefully you guys hitting up my thread will motivate me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70 Cam Guy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I've been quietly watching this build as well. It's shaping up to be a clean build. Honestly I usually notice a clean build and appreciate the work more than a rushed big power build. The sound and power of the RB will keep you up at night thinking about it You will love it.

LanceVance Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Just read through the last half of this thread, mostly focusing on the dashboard. I am currently doing the exact same process with my dash, so I know what your dealing with. Anyway, the just want to throw out an idea for you, since you said you would like the suede look, but can't afford it. Have you considered having your dash flocked? It gives the suede look/texture, is durable, and much cheaper than doing a suede wrap. Give it a month and I should have some pictures of my dash done in black flocking with the AC and glovebox deleted. Should give you a good idea of how it would look...

5thgenluder Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Got a little sanding done on the dash. Test fit the glove box and got that lined up. Put a couple coats of high build primer on now I'm gonna sand the rest down and reapply another coat. I think I'm gonna install it primered and next winter send it to get wrapped on suede. Lance I'm looking forward to pics of your dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get you car back soon so you can update us on the EFI fuel line part of the build. Nice Work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
