i fyou look underneath your integra hood there are two places where you can put the hood holder thing...one is the normal place for half way up and the other is the full open one displayed in the picture....full open = more access to the goodies in teh engine bay.....LOL

you just remove a couple bolts up near the top of the hood. and it makes the car go faster only in 2nd gear though so be careful if you try it.

Just lift it past 90 degrees and it will rest on the binding of the hinges! Dont do it in strong winds!

you might want to look at the picture again. its a g2, what you said is only true on a g3. on a g2 just remove the 2 nuts and brackets behind the hinges that stop the hood from opening all the way and the hood will stay open on its own. i think this was one of the first mods i did.

Sail power. Gas prices are getting pretty high these days and some people have to find creative ways to stretch their MPG!
