Very nice, but I think you should have an "H" badge if you have the "Integra" badge.

i'll have numbers by the end of the week. last dyno was 373whp @ 11.4 psi. going up 3 psi. my goal is 450whp but im not sure if my injectors will hold that.

i think the drop isnt doing them justice. i've always had my cars low as hell, but i cant on this one because of my downpipe. here's my 00 which was a bit lower:

i'm not exacly sure. they're nex complete coil-overs and i simply adjusted them to the right height. comparing to stock height i'd say it's about a 3" drop.

they used some sort of paint that can be wet-sanded and buffed like 3-4 hours later. i'm not exactly sure what it is, but i saw before and after pictures. it was like night and day. car looks and feels like brand new (paint that is).

wasn't crazy at first about the wheels but now i see how you have a brake upgrad so im assuming the bigger wheels were a must.

looks good, any close up shots?

the 13" rotors require a minimum 18" wheel. i think it's mostly because of the caliper. it BARELY clears with my wheels. i also needed a 5mm spacer. i just swapped out the headlights and buffed them crystal clear. i also adjusted the hoodpins. i'll take some close up shots tonight.

lol... cool. the car's been like that for a bit now because i had taken off all the suspension + brake kit to put on the black one and hadn't had a chance to put it all back together being that work has had me crazy the past couple of weeks. i finally did put everything back together on saturday morning so it's back up and running. i'll be listing or sale soon. you live by the falls? i'm on 112th so i see a few nice cars driving around. i remember seeing a black turbo integra driving by a couple of times. might be you.
