So ive been working on my 99gsr bought the shell and now piecing everything back , car runs just missing a couples things to be road worthy and to 100% comfortable driving it with no worries.

Little things i need :
Coolant overflow bottle w/ bracket.
Fuel gauge sending unit. (Completely rusted) owner let the gas in the tank and it sat for about 5 years.
Im having trouble with my dizzy atm shopping around (b18c1 , obd2)

I bouth a complete swap 97 gsr ,tranny ,axles, ecu , and all accessories. The car itself its my first project and i kinda love the headaches its been giving me trying to piece it together.

So yea i will be posting pictures as soon as i find a way to do so.

What problems is the dizzy giving you? New ones are expense, and the new one I bought from advanced the plugs that go into the engine broke before I even got the car started. So keep your old dizzy just in case. Like most people say, OEM is best. I'm not sure on pick n pull prices for them, but it might be worth the gambel. Same for the coolant over flow bracket. There tanks are probably pretty nasty thought haha. Good luck man.

Went to local car meet and loved s2000 cut out on its hood. Did a lil googlin and it appears that alot of ppl do it by simply tracing the underside lololol . Well this is my handrawn sketch attempt. Hopefully soon i get balls to cut a perfectly good hood.

Please leave a comment lol i feel like im doing this for nothing and simply talking to myself lol

Engine pics will coming soon. (Posting pics gradually dont wanna post outtatime pics etc etc)

Have a nice hump day.

I'd get a hood from a junkyard and make sure you like the look on the teg first. Its a pita to find a clean red hood. They're usually pink lol

for mods there are so many little things you can do. since you have a gsr you need to know about the three stage vtech and how your engine works before you can throw parts at it. lots of knowledge on this page. i surf it all the time and spend more time here than on my instagram. (my only social media page i get on) just keep searching man!!!:google: (i say this not knowing how much you know about hondas/acuras. im still a noob myself)

This definitely reminds me of my build when I was mixing and matching things between my '95 GSR engine and the shell was a '98. It was definitely a headache being that the shell hadn't run in 5 years or so either and it was so rusted out.

If you're looking for spark plug wires, I recently bought NGK 8018 plugs from eBay for $46 shipped.

I'm looking forward to seeing your updates!
