I'm hoping to get my DA on the road here soon. I have so many projects going on with the house, and of course work, that I don't feel like working on the car! All it needs is a set of axles, but I'm too cheap to buy Raxles when it's a car I don't drive!

Let me know how you like the Fortune Auto's. As mentioned, I love mine. They are stiff, but in the sense they are supposed to be. Throw it into corners and you will notice the difference.

Let me know how the ASR makes the back end kick out. The DA is super nimble as-is with the stock rear, I'm curious if the ASR will cause some shaky rearend kick out like it will on EG's without a front sway.

Keep it going!

Thank you sir! I can't wait to get this thing moving under it's own power.

I spent a solid day today out in the garage. My back is killing me, but it was worth it. I managed to finish up most of the metal work on the radiator support.

Sorry for the shitty pics, it was getting dark out.



Tomorrow there's a local drift event. Took some time off work and gonna head out and hopefully catch a few ride a longs with my buddy in his 240. Should be fun!

Progress has been slow, working constantly doesn't really give me much time for anything.

I made it to the chiropractor yesterday to discover I have some issues with my L1 vertebrae, it's compressed in the front causing constant dull pain. Yay new expenses! To be honest though, it was a really good experience. The guy was very professional and definitely knew what he was doing. He folded me up and dropped the Macho Man elbow on me a few times, but everything felt great afterwards.

I did get a chance to run up to ICB and chat with Matt for a bit, and brought this bad boy home.





Has anyone else seen a Type One X bar with this badge? I know they usually came with the black badge, but switched to the silver for Type 2. Thought it was pretty cool



I managed to get a little bit of work done, and I mean very little, haha.

Installed my block plug



Picked up some new filler



And got a little bit of sanding done

Thanks man, that's pretty much all I do anymore is just mess around on flat or skate the mini ramp. Bones and joints haven't been as kind as they used to be, plus the summer time is absolute **** to be anywhere without A/C.

I honestly can't remember. Looking at their site, I'm assuming I ordered the DC one. Still haven't had the opportunity to fit it, the DB2 has been neglected recently

More about the Integra will be coming later this year. I've gotten side tracked with a new daily.



I picked this up in the last month or two. The guy that had it before me had it WAY too low with some STR's with horrible offset. It came with some Omin Power coil overs that were missing the lock rings on the adjustments, preload was all that was keeping the ride height. I put the Fortune Auto's on it (which are ******* AWESOME by the way) and raised it a bit. Threw the wheels and tires on there, bought the EX lip and some JDM clear corners and I've just been putting miles on it.

I got a really good deal on a motor recently. A guy on the local Honda forums had an LS/VTEC he put together with all OEM components that made 180/124 untuned! Since he dyno'd it, he added full ITR valve train, cams, and an ITR intake manifold. I'm hoping that with my fuel set up I might get close to 200. It's got PR3 pistons, ARP rod bolts and ARP head studs. Felt really solid but had a bad valve tick when I checked it out. I adjusted the valves and they were way on the loose side, but everything's back in spec now. Motor should be going into the civic this weekend. It came with a B16 transmission with LS 5th gear.

I'll try to be better about updates, work's been crazy lately,

Oh, and I just picked up a 2.5" Kteller exhaust and a CT Engineering Icebox with the K&N filter for the coupe. Need to pick up the Del Sol Vtec AC bracket to keep my AC going.

Motor is in the civic, it's running really well on the basemap I got from Tim at XACT Dyno. Currently putting some miles on to break in the clutch before it hits the dyno.

Nice updates! Looking forward to that Devsport loop kit. I heard about that but wasn't sure if it works well.

Unfortunately nothing really. I've been dealing with issues with my back that have left the desire to spend hours in the garage hunched over in the engine bay on the lacking side. Bought a jeep and haven't really been up to much other than off roading and shooting.

I need to get the civic sold and get working on this soon. Tax season is a great time to sell.

Anything new with the coupe?

Sadly I'm parting it out. I moved from Georgia to Pennsylvania and no longer have the space for it.

That's really unfortunate, that thing was well done. I actually was just in Atlanta over the weekend for the first time, thought about hitting you up for some food suggestions. Ended up going to Mary Mac's and was not disappointed.
