An ITR clone? No, I will not try to pass it off as a type R if it's not the real deal, that's something that bothers me. I just happen to want certain parts that are ITR only (5 lug swap, jdm black housing headlights, UKDM ITR tails, etc.). I'm thinking about ITR floor mats though. If I buy those they would be the only place type R is said on the car.

How much are they charging for rhd dashes?
The entire clip was $450 plus shipping. So it's not expensive, just a matter of finding a perfect condition airbagless one.

Yeah my odometer stopped counting miles at 220k. It's probably around 250k now lol

Update! I actually got some work done to my car!
On my way to school someone sprayed my car is who knows what. I was following a van on the highway and all of a sudden this was all over my front end, windshield and mirrors.

I got home from school round 3:30 and had 2 hours of daylight left.
First off the little shield that is under the front end was sagging so far down that it had to be removed.

And a couple bolts later and it was out. Oh...if you're wondering why there is a drain pan under my car my gas stank started leaking at the seam recently. I'm *hopefully* picking up a new tank tomorrow from someone parting out their car.

I also decided to remove the manifold heat shield as it is hideous, not that the manifold is much better, but whatever. I still have to remove the other half of it, but there was no way I was doing it while it was hot.

Then I decided to go back to a stripped out interior to carry out my original plans of a 6 point roll cage.
Trim by Austin Rajki, on Flickr
Then I took it one step further than I did last time and took everything out. Plastic trim and belts.

I also went to install my UKDM tails knowing that my tail light seals were bad, but decided against it. I dont want any water entering the hatch through my brand new tails, so I just ordered a set of OEM seals from OEMAcuraParts.com. I hope they get here soon!
Everything I did today was another 19.22 lbs. So that's a total of 167.16 lbs gone now. The car is now lighter WITH me in it compared to the day I bought her with no driver.
OH! I can't forget- It's nothing for sure, but a kid in my program who knows Hondas very well has a cousin with a full B18C1 head and intake manifold. He came to me knowing I was building my Teg saying if I wanted the VTEC head he could probably get it for me for around $250. I'll find out if I can buy it or not tomorrow unless he forgets. If I can get it really cheap, I'll run a LS/VTEC set up until I go K. Then the car at least has a little bit of power. I won't get my hopes up though.

I like this build so far, keep it up!
Thanks a lot!
Well I just finished talking to the guy in my program and he can get me the VTEC head set up. He said the earliest I could get it was next week.
I just got back from meeting up with a guy who was parting his teg out because during a recent storm we had his portable garage got knocked over onto his car.
First off I NEEDED a gas tank. Mine started leaking recently at the seam around half way. I picked a tank up from him as well as a bezel to mount my AP1 cluster in once I finally pick it up as well as a drivers side power door lock actuator to hopefully get the driver side keyless entry working. I really don't know if the actuator will solve the problem or not since I'm not sure if the alarm system the previous owner installed used OEM actuators or not. I really don't know how that is set up since the RS never had power locks from factory.
The tank has a bit of surface rust on it and it's really dirty, but it looks to be in good shape. It has a new fuel pump in it, so that's a bonus. The seam is still good so that will fix my problem I've tried searching online for tanks but after shipping they were over $200. My price for a new tank was $330. I'm not too worried about my $80 tank since I'm toying with the idea of a fuel cell.

All together $100 isn't too bad
I also got an email saying that my tail light gaskets have shipped out. Hopefully they get here soon so I can solve my hatch leak, then paint the interior.

Did you try to repair the old gas tank? What color are you going to paint the interior?
No I haven't tried at all.
Probably black to match the rest of the car.
Here is today's contribution to the build.
After getting home from school I wanted to take care of the gas tank as I plan on installing it sometime this weekend if everything works out.
I posted the picture last night of the tank with the actuator and the bezel. What I didn't show was the super dirty tank, so I'm posting this as a reference.

Then here is the picture I posted last night after a quick wipe down to show what I'm dealing with.

After about 3 hours of sanding I came out with this. It looks much, much better in person, but pretty much all the rust is gone. The marks you see are small pitting marks, but they look much worse in the pictures than they really are.

Then it was time to set up the ghetto paint shop again and mask the tank off.

and spray. This is what I'm at now. Not too bad for an $80 tank.

My fingers really hurt, I wouldn't be surprised if I sanded half my finger prints off. haha Now to watch some anime and go to bed.
