I'm still here, recovering from a broken back, been working on stuff on the Accord, still a long way to go, once all the underhood stuff is done, it all has to come out and the firewall has to be painted

Thanks, I actually just sold the ITR motor to a buddy in New York. I had some plans to build it for boost until he popped his Gsr and wanted the R motor. Next will be the K20A for sure, just need to sweet talk to GF some more.

Bought back in January 2006. Completely stock down to not having the optional passenger side mirror. Basically saved her from going to the scrap yard because previous owner didn't change the oil.

Threw this jdm d15b in and drove it through high school.


timewarp to present day.

ill talk to my cousin to see if he would lend over control of members of the group since he rarely come in here anymore. seems like BnB is getting active again and more people are posting their bnb cars (unsure if you want to get into the bnb team or just posting before and after)

Default Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!

guess i should throw up some progress pics of my integra from the past few weeks. upgraded from a stock z6 intake manifold to a edelbrock performer x



pulled my engine out due to both my lower alternator bracket bolts backing out and messing up the threads. while out, repainted it flat silver instead of the gold



then since it had been wrecked before i got it, i FINALLY pulled off my old core support



then pulled off the corner piece that was smashed in about 2"



"new" core support and corner piece set in place to be welded



front end all on and mocked up before i welded it on



had also pulled my dash out, pulled out the guts of the a/c box, taped the wholes shut, pulled head light harnesses in and re-ran them out the door wiring holes, re-did my gauge wiring, and put the dash back in again



driver side harness tuck almost finished up



and finally a shot of my core support welded on, top half sprayed with plasti-dip, and lower half sprayed with undercoating



still a good bit more work to do yet, but it's slowly coming along. once it's all back together again, i'm going to get it re-tuned with engine changes i've made/am making and hoping for the 300-350whp range for this year with hopes of breaking 400+ next year

^ Me Gusta Andy!

Don't have a lot of pics right now, but I bought this car bone stock 10 + years ago.

Since then it has seen body kits, 20 + different rims. Nitrous, various all motor setups and now as it sits now a decent turbo setup.
