Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!

Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
With that being said let me start it off with my car.
1990 Acura Integra Sedan LS (DB1)
Bought this car from a friend around march 2010 for $800 BONE STOCK with the original motor and a clean title. The car did not have any major body damage, minor dings nothing to serious. Paint job wasnt to bad for being the original paint. However for $800 of course it needed work. The car passed smog with flying colors and was registered and insured the same day.
I Replaced the radiator, axles, wiper motor, bumper lights, headlights right off the bat.
The car now has
-LS vtec but spun a rod so its now a B20 Vtec
-JDM one piece headlight
-OEM hood bra
-Had funtion form type 1 but now rolling on tokico whites w/ no name coilovers
-Rota zero plus 15x8 +10's (equip 01 replicas)
-blox LCA
-Nrg quick release with rally steering wheel
- ODB0 -OBD1 conversion
Plans for the car... New paint & Turbo
Second day of owning the car.
Present day.

Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
Hey H-T, my names josh. Still kinda new on H-T, but I figured since my hatch has come a long way I'd post up on here. I'm 19, in college, and went to a high school with lots of rich kids with daddy's bmw's and audi's and benz's and trucks with $15,000 suspension kits, I love the ideaology of built not bought. Got my 1996 civic dx after I totaled my 2003 eclipse. Still no where near finished because tuition kills, but its a start. My d16 threw a rod so I decided to stay sohc for now because its my daily and my only car, and in southern california traffic, 38 mpg is great still beating the crap out of it. Want to swap later with an all motor built b16b to be different from the norm. And yes, I did pretty much everything myself except for welding up my exhaust and the paint job.
