Details?

I'd like to build an archive thread for the Integra FAQ at least.. so if you've got the details and don't mind sharing, I'd appreciate it. h:

Thanks guyz for all your compliments, and schmoo thanks for taken those awsome pics, and your help with the clutch!!!!

As far as pricing this dosen't include the price of my spare headlights which i bought.

Labor for installing 2sk projectors, with color mod, upgraded sealent, and lense bufff..................$300
Projectors...................$250 (I believe not sure)
Phillips 4300k d2s bulbs..$ 50
Custom Shrouds............$50

Grand total is ruffly.........$650

* note there is a lot of room for price difference, as far as what projectors you choose, and blulbs, also if you want color mod, and shrouds*

** Also the people who did my lights with a big thanks too.. is www.customlightz.com

Really, it sucked ass and I hate doing clutch jobs, but it went smoothly.

An S2k retrofit is when the S2k stock HID projectors are fitted into stock Integra projectors.



Another standard clutch job, just without the ball joint incident I had with my car.
So what is it like dropping a tranny without that much clearance? I mean that has to be heavy, however I suspect you have a jack under there to catch the weight. Is that how you do it? Looks like I had the right idea on the s2k retrofit.

No, I just drop the 80 lb tranny onto my chest and then lie it on the ground and slide it out from underneath the car. The tricky part is getting it back in.

Without a lift and a transmission jack, that is the only way I can see it being done.

Is this a 98-01 thing or do your taillights light up like this as well? Because mine don't light up on either side of turn signal area. :sad:
