New guy...I'm old, fat, bald and lazy..

I joined here because I just bought a bone stock 1995 Integra LS to get ready for my son. I enjoy tinkering with vehicles but have learned to research, research, research...hence my arrival here.

Thanks for being here for my reading enjoyment.

 

welcome

 

Quickly finding out that i have no idea what I'm doing...

Vehicle is a 95 2door 5spd

What letter model code is that?

Engine is a b18c but what is a b18c1 or b18c5?

 

To keep notes for myself

Title date: 4.1.14
Installed Clifford two way alarm, back up battery, piezo (sp.) siren
Installed stereo system

4.3.14-Had car detailed to remove old lady smell...almost worked...

4.18.14-decided to try plasti dip on the roof due to bad bad paint fade. Went pretty well. Lets see how long it holds up.

Reasearching has shown me that suspension should be first (after general repairs of course)

4.21.14-Suspension parts arrived. Goal was to only have to do one alignment. Went with Tien H lowering springs, Skunk2 replacement front and rear shocks, Skunk2 front upper control arms, Skunk2 rear upper control arm, Skunk2 rear lower control arms, Honda trailing arm bushings.

 

Pre-planning - 0 / Seized rear lower control arm bolts - 1

....sigh....

 

Amend:

4.5.14 - Installed Skunk2 dual bend shifter with weighted ****

 

4.21.14 - Found left rack boot torn during suspension install, replaced. Set alignment specs to -.5 chamber front with 0 toe / -1.0 chamber rear with .04 toe.

Really impressed with handling increase. Ride a little stiffer than I had imagined, time will tell. Body roll still more present than I would like.

Begin researching sway bars and chassis supports...Leaning towards whiteline front and rear sway bars.
