Well in the past few days we had a 180 on the EK tuck project.  At the last minute the customer decided he wanted to paint which in no way was an issue but minus a wireworx harness the car WAS complete.  So this means the car had be completely tore down again and this time including the engine and trans.  But luckily I can tear these cars apart quickly.  In just under 5 hours it was ready for firewall block off plates.  First Ill post pics of the progress on wed, then, Ill post today's progress.  Car leaves for Rogue Auto Werks early mon morning for paint.  Tomorrow I will get the plates done and ready for paint.  Stay tuned, more updates tomorrow.

As you can see the car was pretty much complete on my end.

Now for today's progress.

E-cuts are cool.

Also made some progress on the floor plate and floor plate wiring.  This will hold his ECU,  the MSD digital 6, the resistor box,  the engine bay fuse box and his oil pressure gauge.  All the wiring will run through grommeted holes and everything will be nylon sleeved and shrinked.

   Today was short but productive.  Finished all the lines in the 240 and primed all the bear metal in the bay with some self etching.  Installed all the Downstar stuff and the booster delete and Willwood MC.  Started another portion of the Si project as well. . . . . you'll just have to wait and see for that one ;) Here are a few pics from today.

The 240

The Si

Some Downstar stuff.  This stuff will really look nice once he comes back for bay paint.

  Today a large portion of the brake tuck is complete along with a lot more misc tasks.  We also decided to go with the Wire-Worx engine harness instead of making a harness out of his stock one and a Downstar booster delete plate with Willwood master cylinder instead of replacing the leaking cylinder that's on the car now..  Expect another update on this earlier next week.  

This weekend I will be tackling Joeys hood exit down pipe and WG tube,  Getting the rhd drive car back on its feet and finishing the last few details in Gerald's 240.  Here are a few pics of today's progress.

  I was able to spend a few hours on the EK tuck project this morning.  Got 90% of the wire tuck done.  Also went to a friends house to install some shock tower extensions and radiator brackets.  Monday Im going to finish up the wire tuck and take care of a couple ins and outs on the 240,  then start getting the RHD Integra back together.  Heres a couple pics of the EK.

Narrowed the headlight harness down to 1 plug and eliminated every wire that wasn't being used at the pins.  Fan now runs to this plug as well.

Since the car no longer has ac this side of the harness no longer needs to go inside. That plug was elim

  About 8 am this morning a new project arrived at the shop.  Ricco's 00 Civic Si.  Going to tuck the wires, relocate the battery and engine bay fuse box, brake tuck, s2k master and clutch line tuck.  Also going to modify his intercooler piping, install the MSD digital 6, re wire all of his gauges, clean up the stock engine harness and completely delete the heat, ac and srs systems.

  Today I managed to put a pretty big dent in the project.  Dash is removed,  front end is completely tore down,  intake manifold is out and wire tuck has begun.   Here's a few pics of the progress so far.  Ill be back on this one Monday so more updates will follow.

Today I wasn't feeling so hot so I didn't get a whole lot done today.   But I did manage to knock out a few things on the to do list.  Got all the engine bay brake line stuff done in the 240. Now I just have to take it all back apart so the painter can spray the bay.  Also  wired a Hondata COP retrofit into Joeys Wire-Worx harness.  Big ups to Xavier from WW for making the slick coil plug harness add on for the harness.  All in all I think it came out pretty good.  Here's a few pics of today's activities.

Today I went to the PaintisDead Meet and it was a pretty good time.  Big ups to Josh, Austin and the rest of the Identity Designs Team for making all this happen.  Thanks for the invite guys.  Here are a few pics of the booth and customer cars.  Also this was the the Identity Design's Integra debut.  Really digging the new look.

This week we have been focusing on Gerald's 240 SX project and Jason's Integra DA project.  The 240 bay is complete and ready for primer and a little finish work.  The bay will be painted by "Big" Jon Van Wey.   Made some good progress on the brakes as well.  Going to do all hard lines in this car. 

Also got the roof skin off of the DA Integra.   Big ups to Gary for all the help.  This is the proper way to delete a sunroof.  Swap the whole skin.  No plugs. . . . . . .

Heres a few pics of the progress.

  As some of you may remember,  last year we did a mild shave on a 240sx.  Now he's going full shave and full tuck.  We are also going to tuck the brakes.  Big Jon will be doing the paint in the bay just like last time.  Expect to see this one back on the streets for IA Kentucky.  Here's some pics of what she looked like before and the current project pics.

  Today we finished up the Identity Design J Swap Integra project.  See its debut at the Paint is Dead meet Sat June 1st @ Identity Design.  She will be back in a month or so for a lot more goodies.  Manifold swap, alarm, and much more.  Here are a few pics and thanks for watching.
