Awesom, very clean. I love the silver car too, you'd better get a cover on it.

 

There was a cover on it but the car is actually being picked up tomorow by another member of the forum. Im sad to see it go but i cant have 2 project cars haha.

 

How much did all the bodywork run you?

 

Looking foward to see how it comes out. Why did you buy side moldings?

 

haha good eyes paul

I remeber seeing this on craigslist a while back, i was trying like hell to get my buddy to man up and buy it haha. glad to see it found a good home.

 

I can't wait to see the finished product! Keep up the good work and as always, keep us posted!!

 

i've always loved vsm integras and with a jdm front too, that's always a +!!


the R's coming along pretty nicely, did the Spec 2 melt your rear bumper?

 

I remember this R when it was for sale. I offered him $200 less than what you payed for it like 3 month before you brought it. Dude laughed at my offer and give me the "I'm a carsale men and blah, blah, blah" talk. Previous owner was a dicked.

 

What's the mileage if you don't mind sharing?

 

It's going to be very clean. Nice work.

 

Must feel great to own a type R. Good luck man

 

that was my friends gorabbit's R! Good job so far on restoring her man!

 

The body didn't look bad at all when you picked it up. I guess the pics are deceiving.

Did you spray the rear bumper with the license plate on it?

 

Around 3gs

I bought the moldings around the windshield and the ones that go on the door i guess you could call it the rubber trim pieces.

Yeah he really wouldn't budge on the price but when you want something you just got to pay :/

No problem shell has 128,000

Thanks man.

It does i have never loved a car as much as this one.

Ha thanks man its getting there!

No the painter put it on after it was done drying i picked all the pieces up and im going to pick up the car on wenesday or thursday.

 

Looks great! Quite the project, but well worth it!

 

Congrats on the purchase and motor install. In case you havent fixed it already your top engine ground strap is in the wrong spot. On the VC move it over one hole to the left and put it under that grommet.

Also, Spoon doesnt make an airbox for DC2. They make a drop in filter that actually loses power on our engines. Would recommend using something else.

 

Already taken care of. And sorry i say spoon box, but it is an itr airbox with the spoon filter... my bad. What intake would you suggest?

 

Congratulations on the car and nice job with all the prep and paint work. Cool too that you can still get the emblems and decals from Acura. The silver car is also stunning and glad to hear it went to a good home.

 

Man that's quite the intro for a new R owner, congrats, car is coming along good. There are a few pretty good intakes you can get, but you're better off running a stock filter then that Spoon one you put in. My favorite is of course the Mugen, AEM has a short ram along with a CAI that wouldn't be bad, just depend on where you live and the weather really. Mugen FTW though, I've had them all, even a J's.

can't wait to see more

 

looks great!! vid of the spec2 please im thinking of buying one

 

Did you buy new weather stripping for the windshield? For the windows? I've looked into replacing all mine just for the hell of it, but I emember it being extremly expensive, how much did you end up spening on them each?
