I'm making another crossmember up that will be alot neater and will weld it all up nice. I did make a gearbox crossmember last weekend but stoopid computer wouldn't let me upload photos so havnt updated the thread yet. I will add photos as soon as I can

Holy moly. Forgot I had this build thread. Here comes a photo dump

ok. So from where I left off. This is the new crossmember design.

Also decided all the brackets had to go

Also made room for the big ass gearbox

Got a tunnel feld up out of sheet metal and welded it in

I started mocking up the dash loom to run power to ecu and dash. Could get past the immobilizer. So I thought I would try plug in some other Honda looms I had to see wat would happen.

So started with this

That was a fail so did some research and turns out the immobilizer can be removed from the ecu
Won't say what chip I removed but ecu looks like this now

Then at about 10 Friday night I stared stripping the loom back to just the bare essentials

At about 3am I ended up with this

Wired everything in today. Couldn't get the dash to work and figured I fucked something. So studied the pinouts one more time to be sure and found I missed a ignition 12v wire.

Then this happened, followed by a little bit of froth

Interior completed again. Just need to get some flooring eventually. And mount the cluster properly. Little bit of cutting will be involved here. Along with some zip ties to hold it in.*

I like this photo

This isn't to far off now. Got dry cell battery. Waiting on rack ends and tie rods, also waiting on fan belt and knock sensor. Exhaust getting started this weekend. Couple little things to do. May be driving in about a month
