Josh, you should def strip that fucker to a bare shell and do it RIGHT.

remember to do the panels on BOTH sides otherwise rust will come back.

hit up justin (drboost) for the front brakes from his DC (you'll need them for b-axles)

Nice blue interior!

I'm still rockin mine, it's still in great shape so I don't see any reason to rip it out of there.

Keep us updated on the progress!

just use CRX DX/SI or Civic SI knuckles, use EX Sedan ones if you want the big brakes. using DA ,EG or DC knuckles is pointless when the EX ones have the same size rotors and dont leave you with camber and clearance issues. just my .02

Actually you can use dx or si knuckles as long as you remove the dust shields on the inside. Otherwise you're axles will bind up as soon as you torque down the axle nuts. The EX 4-door knuckles would be nice if you could find them, just for the larger integra sized brakes, but good luck with that.

I drove one just like that last year... wasnt a big fan of the 88-91 hatch, I would definatly keep the integra and just throw a roll bar in it, you can make them fit nicely without destroying the car.

i'm using SI knuckles on my hatch and i didnt take out the dust seals and i'm using ABS axles, been that way for over 1 1/2 years. there is a lot of misinformation about swaps into EF's.

I'm assuming your using 90-93 teg axles then right? If i'm wrong, check and see if you even have dust seals, because i have always had to remove them.

I see swapped b series ef's about once a week around here for about 1-2k and clean in the local flyers,car forums,and classifieds.I say 11.30's@140+ when its all said and done.High hp turbo hondas powerband is so uncontrollable 10's are hard unless you do wheelie bars and about 20 passes to get your suspension/launch right.Good luck
