Did anyone see the JDM red integra on Super Street? What kind of exhaust did it have?

Thank you

 

not too sure, but i've got his suspension in the mail (Apex'i N1's w/ pillowball mounts)

 

Assuming you meant Lee's red Integra...it's a Spoon muffler. A car isn't jdm unless it was actualy sold/bought in Japan.

 

It doesn't actually say but it looks like the Apex-I World Sport

 

it's a TANABE Exhaust

 

Guys, stop second guessing. It's a Spoon "sports" muffler.

 

A question about that car.... why in the hell would you go through all that trouble of converting a GSR to Type R? It's not like the R's are that hard to find and I bet it would have been cheaper to just tear the car down and paint it Milano Red if that was his goal. Just doesn't make much sense to me.

 

But it makes sense to him.. Maybe he wanted a GSR with an R motor, JDM Conversion, etc etc

 

It looked nice..

 

Since it's a '95 he saved some cash there. He also works at his dad's body shop, so labor costs are minimal. He's also down w/ Sheng from JDMHondaparts, so he's got a part hookup.

Considering that there's so much aftermarket stuff on there, why pay the high price of an R just to ditch a vast amount of the parts when he could theoretically find a rough GS-R for cheap and completely redo it himself for low dough???

 

he wouldn't have to pay the higher insurace rate of real "Type R"

the car is most likely already payed off--so the money he COULD have spent on monthly car payments for a new r go to mods for his gsr

 

Thanks Reid! Anyone notice the rear panels missing. I wonder what it looks like back there? I also like how there isn't an antenna or the rear wiper. very clean

he also could have sold the gsr motor and not have lost that much on the itr motor. btw, he has the spoon street muffler.

 

I saw this car in up close at SpeedTrial earlier this month and it looked real nice. I think he has 16 in. Mugen MF10's now.

 

If your in the business converting a GSR to LS isn't THAT bad (aside from the body shop bill) but lets look at it this way, a friend of mine picked up a wrecked r for 3900 (every body panel trashed everything else was decent). You can pickup a pos LS or RS nowadays for about 5-6k or less. Or even theft recovery GSR or LS, bout 2-3k in body work, a few days labor and you have a "r" clone but it will be very similar and you can probably fool even R owners with it.

 

Anybody got some pics for the subscription deprived?

 

I heard he took out the rear seat and rear panels. He probably has the whole rear area stripped. Does anyone know how much all that weighs?

 

Honestly, it doesn't make any noticeable difference in anything but sound. The car becomes noticeably louder, trust me I know I drove my 90 Integra around like this for most of it's life with me.

Reid - who regrets that a Neon smashed into the door of his 90 RS, prompting it's sale

 

this is the first time ive seen some postive replys posted regarding people who add r parts to there gsr's. sad it took a magazine to promote it all

 

With the number of ITR owners who get daily drivers (Civics/Integras) then throw ITR parts on them, I don't know what you're talking about. We don't care if you put ITR parts on your car as long as they're legit.

F thieves

 

Thanks Reid! I always wondered if it made a difference in 1/4 times to have the rear stripped.

Nope, but I always gut the rear of my daily drivers.

Why?

Because people walking by my car look in it and see there's nothing to take.

Did you hear me? THERE'S NOTHING TO TAKE!!!

 

I haven't seen it but as long as he doens't call it an R.........

I don't care what you do a GSR will never be a Type-R and thats that.

 

All i have to say is Lee's GSR is one nice integra, regardless of whether it's a type r or not. Who cares? I don't.

 

Well I do. If you want a Type-R bad enough to put badges on it you should have bought one to begin with. A GSR is a great car and can be made better than a stock Type-R, I am not questioning this, but why in the world would you call your car something it isn't? Be proud of what you have and what you've done to it.

Ricers are ricers. Some just have more money than others.
