91 CRX SiR - This will take a while......
 So I did own this very car before, back in 2008. It was fresh off the boat, cleanest one I ever owned, full Japanese history, not even a rattle, drove like a new car.... (Except a crunch into fourth) It only had a set of alloys, other than that, standard. I swapped another SiR I had, plus cash, for it. Above is what it looked like then. And below...  I sold it after a while, I wasn't using it, and probably needed money for the house or something, anyways, always regretted it.... The bloke I sold it to put D2 coilovers on it, Rota alloys, defi gauges, drove it a few hundred km. He then put a 2000 B18 Integra Type R engine into it. This did not go well. The car drove, but wasn't right. He parked it up, and it didn't move for 4 years. I eventually found it, and annoyed him until he sold it back to me. I've gotten it back, I'm not selling it again, and I'm going to get it perfect. This is going to take a while.....

So when I got it back it looked like this..........
 It had been kept indoors for all those years at least, so rust shouldn't be an issue. It was mostly as I remembered it, but as I looked closer, there were a few problems. Or at least things I wasn't happy with. It was pretty much on the deck, so it hit every speedbump and crashed around on D2 coilovers, which I'm not a fan of. They're pretty much brand new on the car, just not for me. I have some Meister R Zeta's to go on..........  It's on brand new Rota wheels and Toyo's, they're not really my taste either, but I'll need 16's for my brakes to fit anyway..... He also raised the bonnet in a super-jdm-fast-n-furious style....  There's a Janspeed backbox, not too loud, but I'd prefer it standard, I'm quite old these days....  They we're the things that were immediately obvious anyways.

So it was only when I got the car back and started looking closer, that it became apparent the mess that was made in the engine bay. The B18C transplant was done and it worked and drove, but the wiring and ancillaries were crap, and I wasn't happy with it.

The only way of doing it right was to get the engine back out again and see what was hiding in there. The more we looked around, the more dodgy wiring we seen. Every bolt seemed to be different and wrong and generally it was just a mess.
 While I was at it, I cleaned up the engine bay, had the block and intake manifold degreased and sprayed.   I had a cheeky wire tuck done at the same time. Not a complete tuck, I left the fuseboard as is, but a general tidy up.
