The cabin for the front passenger/driver is very roomy. I wouldn't say fast either but compared to a stock LS motor it's a blast to drive.

 

Yea it is fun and handles suprisingly well! A lot more pep than I expected too

 

I'd highly recommend the Comptech Icebox. It's a great upgrade.

I also have Function Form Type 1s. They are a great, comfortable coilover.

 

Hmmmmm.
It needed an air filter so I just put a k&n turbo filter on it that I had laying around. Better than nothing imo.

Not sure im going to put suspension on it, maybe just fogs, rims and oem lip kit. That may change though.

 

A stock one looks like a monster truck after driving a lowered one. I can't own a car without lowering it anymore. The wheel gap kills me.
If you don't want to pay for OEM fogs, I'd recommend ebay user motorblvd for oem ish fog lights.

 

hahha it does, you're right! I just like the feeling knowing I can drive anywhere and not have to worry about scrapping, speed bumps, etc. I was so used to not caring about the CL, that think was like a tank to me, because I had it so long. Don't feel that way about the TSX LOL!

I'd rather get the OEM fogs but $300+ is a sticking point for some fog lights, for me at least. I'd rather have the OEM fit and quality but not at that price for what they are.
Do you have those fogs on your car?

 

I do. I didn't feel like spending the money on OEM ones when they had a high propensity for breaking lenses. They fit perfect just like the OEM. So much so that no one knows they aren't.

 

Are these it?

Hmm ok, and no issues with them at all?

Did you wire them up, how was that? Looks like a cluster F of wires and ghetto splicing.

I saw some instructions that say you have to take the bumper off? I haven't looked under the car but that just seems silly.




DA appropriate post:

 

Those are it. I didn't take the bumper off but it made it more difficult. The bumper is not hard to take off honestly. 10mm bolts and some Phillips head screws. I opted to wire mine to the parking lights instead of the switch.

 

I'm just used to Honda body parts always fitting worse after you mess with them, so I was trying to not mess with them at all. Hmm That may work best for me too, less wiring and clutter to mess things up.

Thanks sir!

 

can I change the subject?


I finally closed on my house. Really stoked and ready to get the teg over here. I want to seal the garage floor first though. Looking to do that next week or the week after.





took these with my super sweet professional camera/cell right before I left for work when the sun was just peeking over the roof. I should quit my job and photograph professionally. My wife said im very good!

 

^ looks awesome man, congrats!!!!

I'd recommend doing the floor ASAP! You have to clean and etch it with acid, and let it dry properly.

Then it only takes a few hours to paint and flake.

Then I'd recommend a week or so to let it dry before you park or move around on it too much, at least from my experiences.

 

I was going to hit you up about that since you did yours not too long ago (maybe it has been a while by now but my days run together)

 

^ only about a year!

I did mine all in one day and I would recommend a good squeegee and at least a day to let the garage dry out. I think the back part of mine was still a bit damp when I painted and it took the epoxy months to finally dry and cure, during that time it was VERY tacky. Lesson learned though! LOL

How many sq Ft is that garage?

 

i haven't measured it personally but city says its 500 sq ft. I read that I should sweep, acid etch and let it dry a day, then paint and let that dry at least a day as well before putting anything back in there. any recommendations on paint products for the floor?

 

Then you will probably need 2 kits (if you buy the ones at Lowes or Home Depot). I used Quickrete and my buddy used Behr, both were the same and price as well.
Buy a squeegee, good stiff brissel broom to scrub and plastic watering jug. Then you will just need a roller and pan to coat and a brush for any edging or so.

 

Congrats rob! New bolts came in for the wheels, the nuts should be here monday. Gonna decide over the weekend if I want to refinish the wheels or not

 

anyone know where i can get oem replica integra floormats? oe fit with the integra letters?

 

You can't, Honda put a stop to aftermarket companies using their logo, you would have to buy mats and have something stitched on

 

what about just oe replica mats?

 

Needs a lip asap

 

You go to JDP yet?

 

congrats on the crib Rob, now we have a place to crash when we come party down your way! I wish I could have made it down this weekend.

 

Party at robs....

 

Not yet I hardly drive the car anymore but once my civic is done I'll our more effort into this one. Lol
