My jaw dropped the first time i went to a look at the car and saw it. haha
that's how it was and is originally. only thing I've touched is the tail lights, but it needs a new suspension BADLY haha

Switched exhausts with my old 90 4 door integra before i sold it to my friend.
sold it to him 2 months ago for $2k and yesterday he ran it out of oil, never had i heard a car screaming for someone to end its life until that day. Never again do i want to hear such horror lol

waiting on seeing what he wants to do with the car junk or put a new engine in, cause if hes gunna junk it he said i can have whatever i can pull out. So im gunna salvage the crap out of that car and have a nice leather interior haha

Clean up the paint, dump it and put it on some Enkei 92s!
I have an undying love for DAs (despite my owning of a DC), and when I see one slammed on meshy rims it just makes my jaw drop.

When i get a job, first thing i'm doing is getting a good suspension to lower it.

got these rims the other day (for free) and i am impressed, cept i only have 3 dammit, so trying to find another one/or two.

Just a test fit btw, to see how they'll look on it!

Had to junk the other 2 since they were cracked :*( so now i either gotta find 3 more or sell this one. Its life, oh well.

Got bored since i was blown off by a friend, was going to go to forum fest but he decided he had better things to do...

Any ways, i was bored and had a valve cover laying around that I've been meaning to clean. Since i was going to have to change the water pump and cam seal, I figured I'd put a nice clean VC on.

BEFORE:





AFTER:





Made a How-To thread for it if anyone is interested.

A Jesus fish on an Integra? Talk about a paradox.
Looks well maintained.

For the hole in the dash I would put a gauge or something there, its gonna be an eye sore. A nice pick up for $200 though, nice find.

Try buying some grommits/plugs from an auto parts store once you use the googone and get the sticky off. If you find a grommit it fit, use some clear (or black if youd prefer) silicone and seal it in. Two small little black bumps is better than two holes.

I've done that on prior cars, sealing the exterior where badges, spoilers, etc's have been removed.. Looks relatively clean.
