My 1st import car that I never thought I would keep this long.
Hi guys, Im new into this site. Seems like there's alot of nice cars here. I would like to share my ongoing project for 3 years now and been screwed over many times. so here she is. A few pics in the beginnig to the end. So this is how the story begins. First off, I saw the import tuner where the focal yellow integra was the first page cover. Then I was thinking that car is nice and simple. So I decided to make a JDM integra as my reality car. So my brother work for Konig wheels and the owner has a silver teg with the JDM front end in it. So, one day the car was for sale. I end up buying it with 17657 miles. The car was basically bone stock LS and it needed some cosmetic so I called MOTOREX before and ordered C-West Lip kit. Back then it was pretty simple and I like simple things. So heres how it looks like before.




Then one day, I decided to get it repainted and take off the motor since the car was very SLOW. After I went through alot of NA parts, I got screwed over coz the Vtec didnt work. I had the car done in PA then they told me to get a vtec ecu wich I was a NOOB before on the import scene. So I had to pay extra to make the vtec work. When I got the car back I though the Vtec will work. WRONG it didnt work so I went back and ask the guys whats wrong with the vtec. I had Wiseco pistons put in at 12:5:1 compression, Eagle rods, Crower cams, Edelbrock intake, 70mm throttle body, intake, Crower valve springs and retainers, blue printed the head. I had all this done and still had no vtec. So I decided to buy a B20 block since I wanted more turque. So I had this guy that work for Mr. Gasket to do work on it. 2 weeks later he got FIRED. Took my motor plus $2500 USD. I had no choice to get another motor. So I got a B20 with a JDM B16 head.



After I got the car back I decided to put some sticker since it needed something.







After this point of view I didnt like the COLOR. So I repainted the car again.
This time its different and I was very carefull of who to trust. But to get a new paint job cost $3500 So I end up selling my motor AGAIN. and pay the paint job and some goodies I ordered too.













So I trusted this guy Kevin that used to work with me. to help me put the motor in and other goodies that i have. But then again he screwed me over $3000 and didnt want to give back my car. I had no choice but to pay him coz I was so DAMN STUPID to not call the cops. It was his property and I needed my car back so once again I got SCREWED. When I got the car back for 8 months sitting in his garage I only had 2 mounts that was put in and the rest was loose. So I had to ask a big favor to my MUGEN ***** FRIEND to help me out. I had to sell my BRIDE seats to pay his *** and some parts to order. All this happened last year 2006.
Fresh YEAR 2007 Im a BIG HONDA fan and this is my FIRST Car that I ever put most of my Salary to. I was really hoping that 2007 is my year. So now I had some $$$$ saved up. So heres some photos that I like to share.
January 2007 to June 2007


Looks good from the outside.







A few add ons.

wow surprised you stayed with this car after you got screwed over so many times. good stuff though
Thanks guys, Im going to have a professional photographer take some good photos.
Wow. You wasted so much money on that thing when you could have just done research and done it right the first time, yourself.
Why keep building different motors when you can't even get vtec to work?

Yeah im a noob on the car scene. I learned alot from doing some research and dealing with people. So yea I guess some people just hate to hear that I get screwed over. I love the body style on this car and I think im going to keep it. This is my first car that I ever built. So yea.... not much but getting there.

is that an automatic with an aftermarket shifter and boot?</TD></TR></TABLE>
can you not see the clutch master cylinder? Don't you think the shifter is prolly sitting like that because the car has no motor and the shift linkage is proly on the ground.
look, before you speak.
dumbass.

ditch the hood, but the car is def starting to look better and better each time .
The hood is J's racing cf but I painted it. I will get an OEM cf hood. Once I can save up for it. For now there's other project that I have to finish.
