1997 DX hatch

Yeah, i had a bit of trouble de-pinning at first. Its like, once you get one, then its easy.
You may be forced to cut that whole in the front part of the fender area, because it was a close stretch to get the harness to connect again without it. Even with the cut holes the wires dont have too much slack.

Yeah, I just finished the passenger side. I didn't cut holes which meant the connectors were like 2 or 3 inches apart. I just extended the wires, no big deal.

I finished the passenger side. It wasn't that hard, although I did have to extend the wiring some.



Some pictures of my custom brake booster vacuum line.





And finally a bay shot...



Notice the ITR strut bar. The battery and the fuse box are the next two items to go.

Ignore the garbage bag. I put the head back on, but couldn't finish the install because I need one tiny o-ring that goes on an oil squirter under the third cam cap. So I'm waiting on that to finish my head assembly and hopefully have it back on the road. Luckily my friend at Honda is hooking me up and I should have it tomorrow.

Yeah, I want to put the battery in the bumper and pull the fuse box into the glovebox. I actually didn't flip my booster, but I should definitely do that. Definitely get one of the valves though, they're only like $15

Well for some reason, I can't get the timing right. Everything is ready to go, just gotta slap the VC on and fil the fluids, but the only way I can get the belt on is if both the cam sprockets are one tooth off. My friend said it would be ok to run one tooth off, but I think I'm going to get some adjustable cam gears to try to fix the situation. Long story short, my car still sits in the garage...

 

[emerican]

adjustable cam gears should make you be able to fix it and its another mod lol

Yeah, I don't know what I want to do. I will probably try to take the whole timing belt off and see if I can set it correctly then.
