Default '96 VSM hatch build..

Okay so I purchased the car in May of last year. That is when I started this build, I got rid of the Integra LS seats that were in it when I bought it and got GSR leathers. I then got rid of the crappy eBay coilovers and got PIC Selects, with an ASR subframe brace and rear sway. When I was headed home for pre-deployment leave so I could drop it off to my father to get it painted, the motor blew. I got it towed back to my mother-in-laws house and then I went on deployment in July. The car was stolen in August. It was found the same day. They stole my gauge cluster, the gauge bezel, punched my ignition, and stole my ecu. They still stole it with a blown motor. It bewilders me. But anyways, Lately, I have gotten all the parts to replace everything, here's the way the car sits right now.

Also added a Vibrant Performance Stealth black muffler.






Blown b16..

PIC ftw!! and new b16 to swap in..

Damage done..

needs carpet..

gsr's

asr subframe brace and rear sway..

I purchased a new steering wheel for it..

w/ hub adapt and quick release

new front bumper...SiR


Will continue to update daily with progress!! Any and all comments welcome.

Thanks bro. Yeah me and my wife both have horrible luck, we thought maybe it would counter act but guess not. I have a lot of plans for it, I have everything for it so far except the rear bumper, carpet and something else that will remain quiet until I get it.
