you could get a battery relocation kit, so you can put the battery in the back,

Look good as hell, im doin mine while doin my Gsr swap

all it takes is time really. it gets fustrating because you just want to put the motor in but taking the time always pay off. i reprayed the bay also with spray paint. i am probably going to get the oddesy kit which comes with a really small battery and it mounts stright to the frame right below where the stock location is. if i move it to the back the track officals make you have a cut off switch so this will be keeping it in the engine bay

slim fan on the front of radiator, smaller bat-tree hidden somewhere, grommets to fill in the holes on the firewall, do somethin with that brake booster hose, black (not red) valve cover ground (or find a way to hide it like steve did), and an intake to hide the collection of wires under the intake manifold. With all these things, i would call it INCREDIBLE! but at this stage, it looks great. it really does. good job. u should check the thread on Honda-Tech. i think you'd get into that a lot: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1693934

that thread is over 350 pages long.

It looks very very good.

If relocating the battery to the back is not an option then maybe putting it into a case, there's a more specific name but I can't recall it at this moment.

yeha put the battery in the back and just remember it lets out carbon monoxide.. so make sure you have some ventilation in there.. other then that nice wire tuck it looks great

so i got a few little things done. as you can see from teh pics i hid the booster vacuum line and put a intake on and did something with the brake fluid wires. I still need to get rid of the battery and red ground wire. i also spent many hours putting the side molding on. i still need the fender moldings for each side and i need to respray the bottom pieces black(they got a bunch of overspray on them. i also threw a head unit in that kyle gave me. i think i am missing something because of the way it sits in there.




my interior is getting there. still needs a good amount of work put i plan on putting it all back together.

this is what the side looked like before
