Default My DB8

I had a 1998 DC2 but got rid of it and kept my 1995 Integra GSR Sedan. Had it for ~1.5years. I'm the 3rd owner, the original owner kept it for 20years before selling. When I got it, it came with service records dating back to 1995. I replaced the shocks since they were old, with Bilstein HDs and still using stock springs. Also replaced the RTAs and added a Type R 22mm RSB w/necessary subframe brace. My stock exhaust not so great, and I was lucky to find a very nice Tanabe G Medallion. Unfortunately (you can see in the pics), my injectors were old and did not provide the proper flow and caused 2 burnt valves. Had the whole topend restored by Autowave in Huntington Beach, CA. Now it runs like a new car.

That's it for now.

Super clean! Any plans for upgrades/modifications?

I'm amazed the car would even run before you had the injectors cleaned.

No plans to mod. Hard to find these things stock or never once modded, so ill just keep it that way. Ill just replace worn items as needed.

How's the interior and how many miles are on it? It looks pretty nice so far.

That looks great, nice work getting it restored to proper specs. I was also contemplating having my injectors cleaned, too bad you had to experience the burnt valves, damn.

My only complaint is that the spoon brake cylinder sock is too low, pull that baby up over the lld as they are intended to be used, lol.

What a rare specimen. I love the sedans so much. If my 97 Auto LS sedan was 5speed I would keep it forever but might be going for sale soon if I can snag this nice TSX 6speed.

Show us the interior!

p.s. I have an OEM Honda set of DB window visors that I can maybe take off of mine to sell to you if you're interested. Only if I sell my sedan of course.

About 162K miles. Previous owner told me the car sat for awhile so those periods of doing nothing probably contributed to it.

Third gear was acting up so i had some work done. Not pictured are the hardrace motor mounts i also had installed. Overall, the quicker revs and additional grip of an lsd is amazing, especially is slow tight corners. The motor mounts are nice because you don’t feel the engine move between shifts and it directs power to the ground instantly. Need to get to some sort of motor sports event to test it.
