I got really bored and decided to make a timeline of my car. I know it hasn't been through a crazy *** transformation, but I think she came a long way. I looove this bitch, and I will never let her go. I would miss her too much, plus she has sentimental value. She ain't perfect, but you can't put a price on her. Pics from day 1 til now. Enjoy!




The first day I had my car. Picked her up on July 25th, 2008. My pops wanted me to go to a body shop to check her out. I originally wanted a white Integra 4 door GSR, but I couldn't wait so I got her instead. She was really neglected, just sitting in the back of the shop all dusty and what not. I told em I'd take it, and waited a couple of days to pick her up. When I first got her she was seriously bone stock! Everything in tact and nothing missing. It was just lowered on H&R springs and thats it.




My boy was selling his Blades for $225, so I said why not. Took the big *** 55's off of the Star Fishies and slapped them on. Sold the Star fishes for $275. =P Found an ITR replica shift **** in the garage and decided to put it on. Bought a Xplod deck, and found some Xplod 6.5s in the garage also.




I soon decided the H&R springs weren't low enough. So I sold 2 pairs of my shoes and picked up F2 coilovers from Weksos for $630. Was more than happy with the drop, and felt like the coolest kid evar rocking legit coils.




I then got bored of the Blades and asked my boy to let me borrow his Bronze Rota Group N's. I know I know Rota but I wanted something different. I was just rockin them, not buying. =P I also decided to polish my exhaust. Soon after the craze started and everyone else wanted to polish theirs. But they all suck and mine was the shiniest. (For reals.)




In the middle of April, tragedy struck for me. =( I was so sadden by this occurance. My GF was driving and as she was pulling out from the school parking lot some dumb beezy decided to not look and scrape the shieeet out of my front bumper.. UGGGH I was so and I felt like but whatever, at least no one got hurt. I couldn't go to the cops about it because I wasn't even supposed to be letting my girlfriend drive and the lady was being dumb anyways. Plus I didn't want to report it to the insurance for such a minor accident. But my GF said she would pay for the damages and everything went back to normal. I just cussed out the old lady for a good 5 minutes while everyone was just watching me and was so shocked. What can I say I love my car..





I rocked my back up 98 front bumper for a good 1 day while the other one was in the shop. Looked like shiet, and was Milano red before. I sprayed it with 2 cans of paint and I ran out, so some spots I missed. I didn't really care because it was just temporary. And yes that badge says "FUCC JDM." I thought it was hilarious. BTW I raised my car so my girlfriend could drive it, cause I was too lazy to drive haha. She drove my car for at least a month!




So I got the front painted, I wish I painted the front lip, but I knew I was going to sell it later on down the road. But anyways, with senior prom/junior prom not too far in the future, I had to ditch the Blades. =( I know I would regret it, but I had to raise $200 for tickets some how.. So, goodbye to the Blades and hello HX's. -_____________- Sold the Blades for a good $250 LAME. And my boy let me borrow his HX wheels for a good 3 months haha. GF also decided to buy me a USDM ITR rep. lip for Christmas. Better than those lame *** Civic type-R lips. =P









And now we're here in the present time! Happiest day of my life when I got all this shiet put on. I had all these parts laying around during my birthday in May. Most of these stuff was a present from my GF for our one year. And some stuff I bought with graduation money. I wanted to put everything on sooner, but I couldn't finish my wheels in time. I was trying to beat the deadline of June before I graduated but I just couldn't. I told myself if I weren't going to finish my wheels I'm not going to put anything on. I kept this secret from everybody, and trust me it was hard not saying anything lol. My GF said she would buy me wheels so I picked up some from my boy for $125 no tires. I bought a pair of Kumho 195/50/15 from a guy in Oakland for $65! Then picked up another pair brand new from Vex Motorsports for $110. I got them mounted and balanced with new chrome valve stems for $50. All in all I spent $225 on tires & mounting. Thats the price of brand new tires without mounting & balancing. So with the grad. money I bought JDM OEM window visors for $180 from Weksos. (Last one in stock ;]) And I also bought EGR rear visor from a guy on HT named Euro EK for $180. And last but not least, my GF bought me Blox LCA and ASR subframes for $350 from JHPusa for our 1 yr. And now I'm very happy with my car.. for now. I'm looking into buying new wheels and a few more goodies, so stay tuned!

 

kool!!! im diggin the purple lip,**** slamm, how u like ur funtion form?

 

Thanks guys. I tried my best to keep it all fresh and clean. I hate rusted parts.

 

Thanks mannn, its a love/hate thing on the wheels though. I looove the Function & Form actually, best $600 I've ever spent! Thinking of going Type II's sooon.

I know what you mean. I worked on my friend's rusted *** 00 GSR before. It was HORRIBLE, the bolt that held the shock in place actually snapped off. But the thread of the bolt was still intact.

 

^ The best part that I loved about my build was that I just removed the main bolts holding the 4 bolt assembly to the body and everything came off like butter. Removed the main trailing arm bolts, control arm bolt to chassis and the toe bolts. So easy lol. And then I took my time to build my brand new 5 lug conversion piece by piece with all the brand new OEM parts. Cost a fortune but it was a great experience and nothing to stress about broken bolts or rusted parts being put back in.

 

my car b4


after

 

and i have a question, this has been annoying me, my back left wheel deff has a positive camber or 0 camber but it is worse then the rest of the wheels, how can i adjust this???

 

Get a camber kit for the rear, only way.

 

Dnt know if I'm worthy? Lol. 1995 LS, its bone stock motor wise right now. Got many problems with it, need to change out the master cylinder, axles, passenger hub and rear shocks. So I am going to fix all that before starting anything else.







not much but i have some plans.

and one of my ultimate favorites taken by my best friend.

i know, rota's = FTL. but hey better than the ugly 16s i had before, and this car was stock height on 16 inch knock off of rota's. haha, so its come a looong way. just got put on hold while i buy more parts for my bf's hatch, boost leaks ftl.

 

really? i mean shoulnt it be like sitting right stock, it was sitting in even b4 i lowered it...

 

niceeeeeee^ that first pic is word

 

Do you mean Uneven? If you do then something is possibly bent on that side, maybe the previous owner had a run in with a curb or something. Throw it on the alignment rack and see exactly what's going on. If it is positive, or really off compared to the rest of the wheels then most likely this is the case and you could swap a Trailing Arm from the junk yard.

 

yea like all 3 wheels have a normal camber but just the back right is leaning in, idk why but its just annoying and makes the car look bad. its not terrible, but deff noticable.

 

Somethings slightly bent if just that one wheel is abnormal. A trailing arm with camber and toe arms from the jy will fix it. It's hard to diagnose it if it's really slight, it could be somewhere in the arms or in the brake/hub area. Most likely it's the hub area that has been bent, the arms are really tough.

 

haha thanks, that was taken with my phone, lmao.

 

Yeah definately take it to an alignment shop. Whenever you lower a car, its a must. I still need to do this, but I has no camber wear.

desireedc4 - Your car looks good! Need a lil TLC in some places, but you qualify! Welcome #68

 

Woohoo!! Haha, you should have seen the car when I got it, when I get on my other laptop I will post up the pictures.

This is going to sound dumb but whats TLC? Lol.

 

^ Yes do post some pics! TLC stands for Tender Loving Care hehe. You know Michael Jackson.. I wanna love you PYT pretty young thang, you need some lovin TLC tender loving care lol yeaaah.

 

Okay Im turning on my other laptop, haha. Ooohhh, haha yeah I know. After everything is fixed, shes getting her new bumper, different wheels exhaust and paint. Fog upgrade too.

 

^ Sounds good. Are you planning to remove the spoiler?

 

^ Yes sir, I prefer Tegs w/out wings. If I HAD to get one, it would be the first gen Mugen wing. Okay getting the pics.

 

can camber kit fix it? or would i have 2 look 4 that
hahah good pic!
yea i have no wear either it just sits a lil funny

 

The last pic was taken using a Nikon D90. Better quality IMO.

 

It can but it's one of those things where it won't solve the problem, only mask it you know? The best way is to throw on another trailing arm.

 

yea i got you man, ill look into it, not a big deal sense this car will not be driven till december,
