Silver coupe took its maiden voyage today.

Well, the silver car finally moved under its own power today. I already knew this but the car needs a new clutch master and slave cylinder. I have a new OEM Honda master and the slave will be here in the morning. At that point, it should drive REALLY nice. Right now, the clutch starts to engage right off the floor and is at full engagement after about 2" of motion.

Anyway, here are the basics of the build:

Engine:
GSR block (since it's the same as ITR)
New OEM ITR 81.25 mm pistons
New OEM ITR rods
ITR crank
Fresh head with all stock ITR valvetrain
OEM head gasket
Head studs (just in case)
New OEM oil pump
All new OEM gaskets throughout.
New OEM water pump, tensioner, and timing belt.
RMF narrow replica header
Currently 2.25/2.5" hybrid mandrel exhaust
Samco intake arm (currently has POS stock Integra air filter)
New alternator, AC compressor, and PS pump.
ITR cast flywheel cover.

Trans:
ITR 1-4
LS 5th
Brand new 4.785 FD kit
Brand new ITR Helical LSD
Brand new bearings
Brand new seals
Brand new synchros
Brand new synchro springs
ACT Xtreme pressure plate
ACT Organic disc
New OEM TOB, pilot bearing, and flywheel
New OEM half shaft
New axles
ITR shift linkage
Fastline shifter
As of tomorrow will have new master/slave cylinders

Just need some wheels now along with my detail job on the engine compartment. It's filthy so don't give me grief because of that....

Looks good. Do you have any pictures of that flywheel cover? And whatsup with the RTV around the header flange?

I can take a pic of the cover. That's not RTV around the header flange it's copper coat. It's in a spray can; I coat most header/exhaust manifolds with it then let it tack up. I've not had a single exhaust leak problem yet. Started doing that on the F bodies and it just carried over to the Hondas.

Looks good Ryan! Did you get the full-body coils on?

RyanA · Post by **RyanA** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 2:55 am

No, I'm just going to run the GC/Konis for now. Once I know for sure everything is OK, I'll probably throw them, the ITR front brakes, the rear discs, front caster/camber kit, etc. on.
