The donor Integra arrives. Time to strip the Integra. Having the Factory Service Manual at hand really comes in handy. It’s probably not necessary to have the FSM for both cars since they’re basically the same except the powertrain and rear brakes. But buying the Integra FSM seemed like a wiser choice for obvious reasons. If you end up with an entire donor car like I have, make sure to salvage as much parts as possible including bolts, nuts, fastners, wiring harnesses, etc. These two cars share slew of other parts other than the powertrain. Years down the line, you’ll be glad you had these parts in hand.
