Hello H-T, after selling my EF hatch, I found a nice deal on a DA9 I couldnt resist. To start off it is an 1992 Acura Integra LS, 115k miles (original). Automatic tranny (=[) and basically completely stock.

It needs a driver side CV joint, Valve cover gasket, a trunk (or paint the trunk).

I already started work on it by tearing the interior apart to remove the old dirty carpet...I got a little surprised when I saw this, its dirt, not rust to clarify.

I am in the process of looking for type r red carpet so if anyone has the info where to find that, that would be great...

Also all comments and suggestions welcome, Im just in the planning stages of this so all comments are appreciated.

Looks like a decent pickup. How much you pay?
And Type r carpets weren't made for DAs if I'm not mistaken.

 

1000...And I know, I just like the color and want to be different, so I was planning on just finding a roll and cutting it to size

 

Nicee. I also have a white 92 DA9. Anyone know's how to stop camber wear from back tires?

 

Nice nice! This car is just like how mine started out. I bought my "type-r" red carpet from stockinteriors.com It was $150 shipped to my door. Good stuff

 

If you have a wheel alignment already then your rear bushing could be bad.

 

So if anyone with personal experience of cleaning floorboards, whats the best thing to use? I was thinking bleach and water?

 

The car is really clean on the outside lol.

For the floor boards, get any all purpose cleaner, not in a spray can, but the stuff you put in a spray bottle. With a scrub brush. That **** will come right up.

Today I replaced the valve cover gasket and cleaned the oil out of the head. Did a fresh oil change and fixed the exhaust. Tomorrow its time to take this floorboard to town

 

this is probably the best stuff i've ever used to clean stuff with

i used that and a plastic tire cleaning brush like this

to clean the wheel wells and and undercarriage of my car the stuff works great

kind-of a before/after picture



also used it with a wire brush to clean my engine block the stuff is pretty awesome

 

^^ for floor boards and carpets, it's better to use a stiffer brissel brush, and one without the long handle, but with the handle on the back, it helps with leverage as you can put all the force/weight directly on the brush.

 

you could use a toothbrush if you wanted the cleaning solvent does the real work

i remember doing all the same things when i first got my integra even have some pics laying around somewhere

 

the red itr interior would be sweet

 

That block was clean :O. Hopefully it stops raining by the time I get home so I can start this thing!

 

Or he could go to a junk yard, pull a tan carpet and dye it red for cheap cheap

If I have nothing better to do, I may try it just for the hell of that.

 

yea that block came out nice

 

Well yea I did the alignment to my ride all around but I only had problems with the back tires. Is it because I installed an aftermarket rear camber kit? Kuz the front ones are like brand new.

 

Are you sure it's dirt? Looks like rust to me.

 

Its dirt...Dont ask me how it got there, but it did... I hit the driver side with at least half a gallon of bleach and purple power and it looks good. I still need to toothbrush some of the harder areas to reach in.

 

That's good then. Keep it classy and don't overdo it.

 

time for a manual swap.... nice block man looks like a good build

 

Yeah, I need a MANS transmission not this Auto **** lol

 

Also, guys Im looking to buy some things so LMK if you have them...
