ok so i bought the car last year and it was wrecked paid five hundred for it. "fixed" it for 75 bucks minus paint lol just bought fenders and rad support and hood oh and headlights... then it sat for a year. i then bought a b18a1 out of a da teg. and finally started ordering parts.. still waiting on the freaking motor mounts after a month..long story...so here she is..let me know what you think any tips and comments welcome and if you have anything bad to say i really dont care.

i have the kyb's. im very pleased with mine. i matched them with eibach prolines. i dont bounce down the road anymore. i keep them on the softest setting.
that clutch setup wont last too long.. my friend put an XTD in his integra and it lasted about 2 n a half months.. good luck with it
XTD's clutches work just fine. Most people tend to ignore doing anything to them like aligning them the right way, and resurfacing the flywheel as well. Put one in my last ED6 and it pulls great
yup they pull good and they grap excellent to i recently purchased a stage 3 act 6 puck clutch and it dosent feel any better then my old stage 3 xtd clucth almost feels the same dont get me wrong but act would problably last longer then the xtd
quit hatin!!
i have used xtd clutches before too, one was in my b20 vtec with a jackson blower. made 249whp and the clutch never failed me, the tranny went before the clutch did!

im not hating on xtd i had one on my b20 turbo and it worked perfect had the clucth for 6 months and i sold the car so i dont know if it lasted longer but i just purchased a act and it feels the same i just think act would problably last longer then xtd since act is more expensive

Looks good man. Dont sweat the girlfriend. They always prefer pretty things over the all go no show ideas...
Its your car, do what you want to do with it!
Painting the car rattle can is def going to give the car a "project car" theme. If the paints in pretty good shape, id match it and keep it red...
Maybe a local high school autobody shop could hook you up?
