looks like you have a good amount of work ahead of you.....good luck with the build and cant wait to see the progress....oh and the coupe is clean as hell
Si rear sway bar ftw. Clean it up some itll look nice. I got me one too.
At least they gave you the interior pieces. Are you going to make it a race car also? Im definitely going to keep up with this thread, it looks like fun
LOL@ the eBay coilover comment.

A short update before the replys- got the dash out earlier along with the floor harness and rear hatch harness. not surprised but found a mouse nest down in the heater core so i have to clean that s**t all out tomorrow or wednesday. that was one of the reasons to take the dash out cause i kept seeing little mouse turds everywhere so i knew something was in there somewhere.(and to make sure the snake was gone too lol) ill snap some pics either tomorrow or wednesday. its one step closer to cleaning cleaning cleaning!
im thinking about takin a power washer to the inside of the car, yay or nay? everything will be out obviously.. ill use the lowest setting on it, but if that seems too harsh i want to at least use a scrub brush and a hose. opinions?
on to the replys!
as for the interior, i got everything besides door panels, front seats and the center console. its tempting to leave it gutted but i want to drive it on the street somewhat comfortably. even though im sure its already going to be loud without the few things im going to leave out and the sound deadening tar out.

haha thanks to you!yay no more wiring issues!!!!!! progress is beautiful
yea i do. im excited though. i keep forgetting i have a motor in pieces in my garage i have to get together also. coupe is going back to stock sadly and will be the winter ride/DD. ive had my dc header off for awhile now. just gotta get my exhaust, intake and suspension off.
thanks for lookin out man. its much appreciated! checked out the thread just now and i looked in the service manual at work today on how it mounts up. so just gotta buy one when the time comes.
thanks man! its too bad its getting colder out and getting darker sooner, or else id have more done.
the people i bought it from said it has integra rear discs, so i assumed it has the integra sway bar too, or would it have to be the SI rear sway? when i asked them if there were SI e-brake cables used, their answer was kind of unclear, so I guess its a mystery for now unless someone can clarify it.

that's going to be a hella good project mang
yeah that's the bad part about this time of the year. Just don't try to rush anything...well, can't wait to see some more pics...
l had a half day of work yesterday and got a ton of stuff done. The inside of the car is stripped completely minus the fuel door and hatch cables and the harness on the hatch(that seemed like kind of a pain to get out so i left it). Basically pressure washed the entire car inside and out. Degreased and scrubbed the motor bay and the underside of the hood. Also degreased the inside of the car and scrubbed a bit here and there then pressure washed away. It was pretty dark by the time I got done to i'll have to check it out today after work. Took a ton of pics, but go figure my internets is f**ked up at home so ill have to wait to get those up whenever its fixed. I'll save the rest for the next post, gotta get back to work.
since my last update ive gotten alot of work done on the hatch. still no internet at home, my linksys router is messed up or something...but im gonna mess with it some more tonight and hopefully i can get it working.
but anyways, got the rest of the sound deadening material out of the car, got the side moldings off, the dash apart and cleaned that up a bit. probably did a few other things but i dont rememember. i still have a ton of pics to load up whenever my router if not being ghey.
