Default *Integra small progress

Lets start with what i started with:

1994 Civic Hatch i gave to my dad for a trade of cash to buy a local integra for $1,700



Came home with a 1997 Integra LS with bad head gasket on December of 2006:


*Blurry/Bad Pictures but you get the idea*

Got a really good deal on bare block with complete head and decided to just build an engine instead of replacing head gasket:



Got the car started and ended up like this:

*Mildly Built for Boost LS*

Went for a little photo shoot with local friends:



Finally Sold the BBS for a great deal with me profiting in a large amount to save some money and be able to get some "nicer" wheels too:




More to come.

because the BBS were in bad shape (tires bald,needed to be repainted,and so on) and needed money for books, so sold them for really good deal, and bought those from sponsor on here. Function over Fashion; Wheels are wheels regardless of who makes them.
