So after debating on this car for about 2 weeks, I decided to pick heR up.

I could not be happier about getting her even though many of my friends told me I was paying 2 much and that it will take 2 much work. She is very dirty and will need a lot of work but I'm very excited about bringing her back to life !

Here she is - 1996 Integra Type R - real deal RHD - registered !










* I will try to update this with pictures and updates - I will be looking for parts so if you guys have anything I need, please send me a pm and hopefully I can start putting it together. Feel free to donate anything that is taking up space in your garage.

 

Well it's a start. Got a long road ahead.
I'm sure I'll turn out great.
Bring that thing back to life.

 

doing anything special or putting back to stock?

but very nice pickup

 

The caR looks very similar to my rebuild, minus the busted steering column. Goodluck with the rebuild.

 

Paid to much? How much is to much?

What specific parts are you looking for?

 

damn thats a really nice R!! how much did you pick it up for?? cant wait to see her when your done with it

what are your plans for it??

 

doesn't look that bad, good luck with the build

 

thats an EASY rebuild!! my car has been in a condition similar to that more than once, by choice and not by choice lol. congrats on the pickup.

 

Thanks guys - I'm planning on putting her back together with mostly oem parts but I'm debating what motor setup. I have a jdm itr motor that I will probably put in her but I may decide to put a turbo setup in it ( I know u guys dont like turbo R's )....

Debating if I should put 5 lug on it or leave the 4x114 setup... not sure but I will probably 5 lug it !

I'm looking for the jdm front in CW preferably and I need a cw wing !

I need a new steering column and some power folding mirrors & side skirts.

 

Looks to be a good start.

 

leave the 4x114.3 on it, that's half of what makes a '96 spec JDM R, it's really individual.

 

wingless, big 4, USDM 97 front

 

looks good.
is it going to be a budget build or more like a JDM da hell of it....

 

def a good start. 4x114 does make it an official 96 R.
and i think i have a type r wing in the garage.

 

Here are the things it needs :

Motor/Transmission/Harness
JDM front
New Brake lines ( 1 is bent )
AC stuff
Axles
ECU
Ignition
Side Skirts
Mirrors
Front & Rear Seats
Door panels
Cluster
ITR trunk bar & lower subframe bar
Exhaust
Wing
Lots of love

I'm excited about putting her back together ....

 

dang! this thing is going to be siiick!

good luck with the build man.
i know these projects take time. but its all worth it in the end!

 

Don't know if you saw my post in the bs thread but...





From Japan to NY to Philly to Mississippi to You.


BTW when you say lower subframe bar you mean the lower tiebar? If so I got one.

 

that picture makes me sad but gives me more motivation !

I knew it was super clean from before.... my buddy that lives in Mississippi told me that he knew the previous owner in miss & that he kept it really clean

Makes me sad to think that theives ruin such nice cars

 

Why the hell would you swap the 4-lug for 5-lug? What you have on there now is both true and original to the car as well as completely functional. I wouldn't change a thing original on that car with the exception of maybe the 98+ HID headlights. Thats just me though.

 

Sweet, Looks like you picked it up after all. I know someone who has a CW wing for sale out in Denton; I think you know who I'm talking about.

 

wow that is a good pick its just stripped not like its wrecked . dont know how much you payed as long as ur happy its all that matters good luck and cant wate to see it finished

 

Hmm best color imo .
This guy is selling his 96 spec front end would go well with the car.

Don't know if he will ship tho.

 

Looks like a fun and worthy project Best of luck and I can't wait to see heR progress. IMO, I'd keep heR close to 96 Spec stock

 

 

Please keep us updated!

I want to see this baby go!
