She's coming back together nicely! Seems like the front of the car is way higher than the back. Could be because you are parked on a hill though. Its good to see the end of this projectMine is almost over also

Hey all :-)
Wow if I didn't know about all the work I've done to this car I'd say it drives like a piece of crap! lol BUT knowing all that I've done the car feels pretty good...
I say that because I'm mainly getting used to the ROCK HARD suspension, if I run over a pebble it sounds like i just curbbed my car! This is due to: Integra Shocks and Springs as well as my front and rear strut bars, and the tie rod set. (picture below)
I've got some electrical issues to work out... My taillights don't work and I've got a grounding issue to work out... this is the little stuff I hate because It feels so tedious.
As for the performance.... I've got about 120 KM on the block now and WOW It's quick! I haven't even stepped on the pedal yet... My car feels like it has V-Tec man... I've got the custom cam from Colt cams and as soon as I hit 3100 RPM it wants to pull and pull... and hard too... which is a tease of course as I can't really get the rpm too high for another 4850 KM lol
Unfortunately my car is not where I want it to be... It only has the Driver seat installed... the Re-upholstering job I did sucks ass so I need to do it again...but this time I've got more experience on my side (the roof looks good still but my A,B and C pillars are falling apart :-( )
I don't have money for new carpet right now so my interior is going to look like crap for a while :-(
All in all it's OK... Not Good but OK. It's going to be alot nicer in the near future when I get some more time and money to put into it.

so use this hub: http://www.modacar.com/products/Hond...b+Adaptor.html
and this steering wheel
http://www.modacar.com/products/Hond...ng+Wheels.html
along with those im running an NRG short quick release. it is about the same distance total with hub quick release and wheel from the wiper and turn signals as the stock wheel was.
id order it from them. great customer service and fairly quick on getting the parts. and they are cheaper than most places
