    how so?

    everything worked as i planned like it would and the only 2 problems i had with it would be the water getting in there. its not gonna be like it is in the pic its gonna be mounted upside down and 2nd is getting to the fuses which isnt a big deal for me. just want more room on the engine bay.

    but roach if you have any input of the fail you speak of let know. would mind going thru the relocation again.

    OMG your using crappy lifts like I did, Quickly please just go and get some jack stands from someone.

    As for the work on the car you are doing great, I love to see you making progress and so much so fast is really cool. XD I can't wait to see you get more work on the car.

    Btw your only about 2-3 hours from where I'm stationed, once I get the accord back if you need any help I'll drive up there and be glad to give it to ya.
    Yea for photoshop...No license plate. :3

    thanks Nio

    and i know im not using the right stands for the job. thats why i can't do any work on the transmission cause it rocks like crazy. barely manage to bring down the piping down cause the bolts are on there tight.

    sweet and sure could use the help since im solo on this
    might need some help getting the 5spd trans from the yard but gonna save up for the 5spd swap.

    Well, I don't know how your weather is but it's not like you can just "stop" driving if it rains. Unless you have another car at your disposal then ok, but how do you plan to keep water out of there? What happens when a fuse blows? You have to take off the bumper? Damn.. that would suck.

    I like the idea of moving it for the room but I'm just not sure about that spot. I plan to move the box as well, but I am going to put it under the dash so it will have no contact with weather and I will still easily be able to change a fuse if needed.

    the weather over here is ok just the rain is my only downfall on this project. and to answer your questions:

    1.well the coupe is not gonna be a DD like my sedan is and im still thinking on how to protect the box without any water getting in there. i might go what messy said and start from there to see if i can add anything else.

    2.If a fuse blows ill remove the mud guard from under the fender and remove the wheel and yeah i know it looks like a alot of work but i dont mind.

    i like your idea better but finding a location to put the box will be harder unless you already removed the ac components and other stuff. i plan on keeping my ac as it gets hot as hell here in summer so that wont allow me to put it there. im not that good with wiring at all where i would start.

    but it the sock does work and doesn't get water in there when im washing the car then its all good with me .

    thanks Frankit ill be keeping an eye out for them.

    one question though does the B18(1st gen) have shorter gears than the A20 5spd?

    seen one at the yard and was thinking of getting the shifter and shift linkage but not the trans.

    Yo man the 1st Gen Integra did not come with B18s. They came with what used to be called D15s and they were DOHC but yes I believe those trans have shorter gears.

    Don't you mean the D16a8? They where like the only DOHC D series. and put out like 136-7 hp.

    Its also called B15yzc. *but you can't find this name on google, it will pull up a nissan engine*
    Yea for photoshop...No license plate. :3
