Man, thats a nice car. No rust!

 

lol, i usually check ebay first cuz i already know im broke! but seriously, i've gotten some really good deals off ebay. and i dont normally buy "ebay brand" stuff either. i try to find the real deal things on ebay for the most part and have had some good luck with it

 

More updates!!!
what's next on the list?
you guna get some Drag rims and slam the Beast?

 

As soon as I hit winter good oll upstate NY road salt took over and the rust started showing through. The guy before me did a really good job of hiding it. UUUUGH. Still loved that car though.

 

COol

 

I love your approach! I can't justify spending lots of money on my Civic so I tend to find the cheapest way to get it done the right way (I don't rig things to save the extra buck). Subscribed.

 

Can't wait to see how this one turns out, GL man.

 

OMG! Great news today! I got some things for the car. But first, as usual, another DIY, lol. This one's kinda gay. Its related to the fuel pressure gauge installation from yesterday.

Today, we are installing a Fuel Pressure Regulator, also called an FPR. First, make sure you have all the necessary tools and things to complete this task. Pliers, 10mm wrench or socket will work fine, a hacksaw, the NEW fpr, and the old fpr.


Know where your stock one is located, on the Integra, its on the fuel rail, drivers side.

Remove the stock one


Then, ever so gently, use the hacksaw and remove the top portion of the stock fpr, and install the new fpr top.


I already had one made up, turns out the tube for the fuel line is too small, so I used another one, lol.

Now, just hook up the new one, just like the old one was. And remember to keep the factory o-ring in the fpr, you will need to reuse it if you didn't get one with your fpr kit.

The FPR I got used on honda-tech for $12 shipped.

 

Ok, for the awesomest news today, lol. I frequent a website called http://www.freecycle.org. EVERYTHING is free there. I found a set of Enkei Mazda Miata MX5 wheels, with Kumho Ecsta 710's on them. I also got a complete set of Eibach Ground Controls. ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!!! The coilovers are for a MX 6, but when cross referenced, they will in fact fit Honda's. Pretty cool huh!!

 

Damn nice come up on those parts
People on ebay do in fact sell lots of chinese made parts that are inferior to well known brands but that doesn't mean you can't find good quality parts on there at a good price. Most of my build consists of items purchased there. ebay ftw!

 

Yeah, thats why I chose ebay for a build. Cheap parts, lol. I will however use some actual ebay brand ****. I'm not afraid to do it. Noone else likes their **** cause of stuff they "heard". Some people have experience with shitty quality. I wanna see how cheap I can do it. Thats why I've listed the price on all my parts so far. I think a budget build should be just that, a BUDGET build. lol.

 

that's a good attitude to have. f***k what other people say or heard, try it for yourself. good luck with the build!

 

thanks dude!

 

hmmm, wonder where you sourced that extra oem fpr so quick like that....hmmmm

and for FREE at that! and not even a simple thank you. i tell ya, some people's kids these days!!!

lmao, just messin with ya

 

thank you andy!! lol.

 

I also got this nifty thing yesterday. Its a stock pr4 intake manifold. I'm getting it port and polished, I MIGHT actually do it myself. It sure beats paying $225 for one. I got this manifold for free from my pal...andy!

 

haha, this guy here....and yet he bitches if i give something to someone else or do something for someone who needs helped out....i dont get it i tell ya

 

lol. i was jealous, what can i say. just kidding.
