Default My JDM DA9 Build

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions or idea's to make this an even better more unique build.
I am currently building a 93 Integra LS which is at the moment bone stock, suspension, motor, body and interior. So I was writing down the appearance mod's i was going to do and was looking for some suggestions in certain areas. Let me know what you think of it so far and what you think i could do to make it that much better.

Current Plan:

Interior Looks:
93 GSR Cluster
JDM ITR Steering Wheel
S2K Front Seats
GSR Leather Rear Seats

Exterior Looks:
JDM Fenders
JDM 1 Piece Headlights w/ Yellow Fogs
Stock Carbon Fiber Hood
Stock Carbon Fiber Hatch (no spoiler)
NH0 Paint Job
Amber Bumper Lights
JDM Window Visors
Mugen or Type R Style front lip

ITR 5 Lug Conversion
ITR DC5 Wheels


Tow hooks in front and back
NH0 Lower Control Arms

Engine Bay Looks:
Wire Tuck

Any suggestions or ideas? greatly appreciated

It's going to be a long build and when im done it will be good enough to be in a magazine. Here is my motor build, its just a first draft so it may change as im building but this will be it for the most part. and yes my alarm system will be wired in with my wiring harness and im putting 2 or 3 different sirens so even if u cut one somehow your still ****ed . like i said it will be a long build but i will keep updates coming as i get them.

Suspension:
Tein Type Basic Damper Kit
ARP Wheel Studs
Front and Rear Strut Bars
Skunk2 Lower Control Arms
Skunk2 Sway Bar

Brakes and Wheels:
Drilled/Slotted Rotors
Stock Painted Calipers (red)
Hawk Brake Pads
Neuspeed Stainless Brake Lines
Kumho Ecstas or Nitto's

Engine:
Buddy Club Racing Spec Battery
Skunk2 Adjustable Cam Gears
Wiseco K541M81 Pistons
Scat Rods
Exedy Stage 1 Clutch
ACT Flywheel
Innovative Axles
B&M Short Shift
ARP Headstuds

Omnipower Magnetic Drain Plugs
Megan Racing Lightweight Pulley
Brian Crower Valves
MSD Injectors
AEM FPR
AEM Fuel Rail
Walbro 255lph

Forced Induction:
HKS SSQV BOV

Zex N20 Dry Shot (maybe just for the fun of it)

Tial Wastegate



Going to do most of the mechanics myself, if I am not going to be doing it then Speed Factory will so it will only be the best of the best. let me know if you have any suggestions. As for aftermarket parts i dont mention I will just replace with OEM stock with 0 miles (water pump etc)

Let me save you the time and money. Don't get the 5lug conversion or the DC5 wheels. You can save yourself a whole lot money just buying yourself some real deal wheels. Don't buy the ITR steering wheel cause as much as your gonna spend on just buying it is as worth as you buying a NRG short hub, quick release and steering wheel such as Nardi or Personal. Just my suggestion.

x3, agree, I mean don't get me wrong, your DA9 is exxtra clean. But it seems like you want to kinda make it into a DC lol, just my .2 find yourself some clean 4-lug wheels, save money and keep it simple. Its been discussed before, 5-lug conversions arent really worth it. =\
