Default Timeline of my USDM DC4 turned JDM ricer trash

Just got the car back out of storage, and Im a little obsessed with it and thought I would show its progression over the past couple years.

Spring 2006
This was my first honda. I started out with a jetta and HATED honda's until my bro bought a 97 prelude. A couple months of that car being around and I was convinced. Sold the Jetta and bought the integra. This is how it looked when I bought it in spring of 2006



Summer of 2007
I was at work teaching some tennis lessons with my car parked on the road right beside the court I was on. All the sudden I hear a crunch and some dude runs in saying he just put his hitch receiver through my front bumper. Well, you know what that means.



Summer of 2008.
Over the previous winter I had decided I really wanted something that stood out in my home town. I know these are parts that lots of people have, but not around here. In my question to be different, I came close to building a JDM ITR.











Spring 2009
Just came out for the year. Added Spoon calipers, rotors (x4), spoon thermostat, spoon dry carbon hood, spoon torque damper. More changes are coming this year with the help of spoon sports.










Modifications:

Engine/Trans:
B20b bottom end(re-sleeved) balanced
JE pistons (84.5) 11.1 comp

B16 Transmission
ACT street clutch
lightened flywheel
Energy Suspension Engine mounts
Top Fuel power chamber intake

AEM Cam Gears
Comptech Stainless 4-2-1
5zigen titanium header-back exhaust
ITR TB
Skunk2 Intake manifold
hondata s200
Spoon Sports torque damper
Spoon Sports Thermostat


Suspension:
ITR Strut Tower
Comptech Swaybar/Tiebar
ITR H&R sports
Koni yellows
Omni power camber kit

Brakes/Wheels:
ITR 5 lug conversion
Spoon Sports Front calipers
Spoon Sports Front rotors
Spoon Sports rear rotors
Braided stainless lines
16" JDM ITR wheels
17" Volk CE28N
215/45/16 Goodyear REVSPEC RS02

Exterior/Appearance:

Nope. The 17" volks don't clear either. I have to run a 2mm spacer to get both to fit.

No boost, my compression would fly through the roof. Vtec is probably doable though, we'll find out next year. It was going to be this year, but I decided to have some track fun with it first.

Came close to building an ITR, but no vtec head! There's just some unwritten rule that says that front end should have a vtec head underneath the hood. It's just the way it is.

Very nice integra man! The hood looks to be in rough shape, or is that a reflection? Very clean car none the less!

The hood is in fantastic condition. Its dry carbon, so theres no gelcoat or clear coat. When the hood is up, you can see right through it. It just looks a bit weird there because I just just used a bit of polish on it and it hazed up a bit after I wiped it off. It was looking more dull than it should have

Usually I agree, but with 183whp and 142wtq - he gets a free pass.

I was hoping somebody would come to my defense. LOL.

vtec head will come some day. Its just expensive. I mean, is suppose Im not one to skimp on parts, but if I but a vtec head on, I'm going to build it to. And that's difficult right now paying for university and rent and all the other crap that comes with it on just my summer job and poker winnings (dont have time for poker these days)
