Lol, I would if I had enough money for it. And insurance on an ls isn't as expensive as a type r.

Yea the climate control is from a type r but the insert which is celcius was from a db8 with automatic climate control or something like that, the stickers we're to make it look more original with the paint. Plus, the stickers are original from Acura not something made at a local print shop, lol.. I used nothing but Honda parts, no aftermarket stuff yet

Yuppp, I got the engine from a local shop for $150. It had low compression on cylinder 4 but all it needed was a valve adjustment. So, the shop replaced the entire motor and sold me a "bad core" but the motor is still good. It only has 32k miles on it

Lose the Type R stickers. I like the climate control, only if we know how to and what is needed to have the auto climate control switch work, would be dope. I was gonna pick up one very similar but it has an auto button on the left side where you can choose where air is distributed.

Why type one suspension? Curious.

Car is lookin good. Nice mileage for its age. I'd Turbo that thing. I see you're local, we should hit up the canyons or something.

I was originally going I try and hybrid this block which is from an rdx. But, I found out a few more details and it can't be done. But, Im going to be getting an 05 type s engine in about a few months or so. I'm going to be doing a k24 swap into a dc5. I'll be sure to post updates on here. Here are a few pic of the k23 block and the k24 motor. I feel like my garage is filled with k engines, lol

i have the auto button but, its on my other climate control which won't match the grayish mesh color on the itr climate control since the auto button is black. for the suspension, i decided type one just so i can make it more jdm and that suspension is really awesome. but I'm open to other suspension but i mainly wanted type one for my integra. and what canyons do you normally hit up?? azusa canyon, turnbowl??
