DA Integra's Only
you can't be serious with this..... You might not have been paying attention but 10+ years ago there were companies making DA parts and good ones. and I';m not talking bullshit H22 and K20 swaps either. Just because you weren't in the scene to see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
you cant deny that when you go to a meet like IA that it is over run with eg, ek, and dc's. when we were at that meet there was only ten of us, and a couple were ricers or had monster truck status on their car. just call it like i see it!
Do i see one piece lights in your near future????
p.s. kyle smells funny frequently. <3

Makes me want to find a Jasper Green DA and paint the top black...
yikes.
From a performance aspect almost anything made 10yrs ago is crap compared to what's available now. The only parts I can think of which are better than stuff available now are the Vision front upper control arms a couple of strut tower bars and maybe the Hiro wing. Everything else can get OG respect, and if you're building an era-correct car then you gotta go that route. But look at any track car that actually gets used and you're not going to see any of that old stuff on there. Think 50-60mm exhausts, tiny collector headers, front bias lowering springs on non adjustable shocks... And look at the old wheels for the EF/DA generation. Everything back then was 6" or 6.5" wide - that's all useless by today's standards.
Don't get me wrong, I like the old stuff too. Just like you gotta love vintage cars. But that stuff doesn't hold a candle to the performance stuff that's available now.

Thermal was making 3" exhausts 13+ years ago, hytech has been making header(s) for 20+ years, Volk has been making forged wheels for 20+ years. Chipped OBD0 ecu by companies like Mines, Feels, Vision, Spoon, Mugen. Yeah its not Hondata, but its quality and has lasted the test of time. I get stuff has gotten better, but being naive about older quality brands doesn't mean they didn't exist.
I wouldn't call it crap and not sure what you're YIKESing about.

After I bought wheels, got them painted, and lowered it. The paint is poo:

The stuff sticking out of the door is plastic, the cowl is leaking, so I'm getting the puddles on the floorboard.
Currently:

If you don't like my car, please keep your comments to yourself. This is my first honda (I got it for free) so I don't know if what I like will be what you guys like... I'm a DSM guy, so I'm trying to make the honda transition lol.
