Yup oil to keep everything lubed. The compressor has a piston type mechanism inside to pump the freon around. I think, I'm not sure what type our wagons use, but most likely what it uses.
You want to definitely pay attention to the OEM specs for the type of oil and the amount of oil. Too much oil will interfere with the refrigerant and your system will not cool properly. Too little....your compressor wont live. There is a fine line there. There is also a product on the market called Freeze32 which is an oil with magnetic properties. The idea is that it will pool the oil around the compressor, where you need it. Pushing the oil through the system is where you lose cooling efficiency. I have never used Freeze32 but my local repair shop owner tells me it works well on older systems.
Im going with an oem shuttle pro 88-89 color. It's also a first generation Integra color. Nh-95m.
I have had all my parts saved up for a long time! So I can actually share with everyone my progress
So I am detail oriented. I have only been into the car game for 5 years but I have an eye for details, especially within the 4th gen civic and 2nd gen integras because thats what I am around mostly.
My interior was not hard to complete. I was tired of not have power windows. So I took the initiative of researching the swap and realized there are people who I know that have RHD wagons. I got the regulators from them so I didn't mod them.
Next I used sedan motors (because the rhd had master wiring on the right, and sedan has them on the left) and the complete wiring! It took me 1-2 hours to get the wiring but the guy at pick a part only charged me $12 haha!! Score.
After laying down the wiring in my car I realized the switches and door handles were not working on my car. I don't know if it was a bad batch or what, but I used the wagon handles and only the switch section from the sedan.
Now cosmetics interior! I bought grey floor mats! I like to stand out a bit, so I did my research and I was going to keep the manual windows until I seen there are LHD power option door panels in Europe!!!!!!!!!
So I had the edm seat cloths for a while and I swapped the cloth a while ago bill beat me to putting them on. [
new seats!
]I'll get photos of everything put in when I get it all in!
Once I got the car. I also was able to pick up the edm rear trunk set! I am really excited about that! I also have the more-so-common edm center console; how ever with the not so common in usa (besides rhd converted cars) english language , Japanese/new Zealand climate control! I have almost all the wiring done!
600 doesn't fit on as easily.
For the exterior it took me a while to finalize what I wanted to do. So I have been really in love with the bronze windows! It took time but i finally got all of the bronze glass! Every piece!
I'll get photos once it's put on the car!
I had the opportunity to purchase another set of oem door visors for under $70 from Japan..
So I took up that offer!! Duh hahha.
Lastly I have the oem fender mirrors! Complete with block of plates!
I eliminated my molding holes to have the shuttle pro outside look, with the European interior while staying lhd.
I have little knickknacks here and there I'll share too once the car is completely put together!
I am getting the glass put in, and then I'll get some quick photos. If the car before I put it together, during and after.
the paint is good, a few little dings I am unhappy about but I'll be going back in a couple weeks to have them fixed.
Jealous of the mirrors, so far I've only tracked down the drivers side, really need to find the passenger side of things.
Really? That awesome still! I have a buddy with only the passenger side and I don't think he will sell it hahaa.
maybe you guys have each others half!!
