So to start off I've recently really got interested into EG hatches, and been lurking around these forums, looking at everyone amazing projects. i'm 15 so i don't have a steady income, nor can i drive yet, so i thought to get a project car, Looked around for eg's for like 2 weeks, got dogged twice (didn't show/double booked to sell), But a couple days ago, found this pretty clean 1992 integra with a B16A swap with aprox 90k miles on it, and a uninstalled, turbo (new) for 2k one of my brothers friends who was into Honda said we couldn't go wrong, so we picked it up last night (got home at like 9) from the start we were told that a bearing is going out on the tranny, so we thought no big deal as long as we dont push it in 4th & 5th, got home then it wouldnt catch gear so we had to push it about 20ft into our driveway,(thankgod didnt die on drive home) so my brothers friend who knows about hondas checked it out and said our clutch is done, so once we get that we should be set!! It was dirty aswell, started cleaning about 3, finally ended up done at around 7:30..... well enough story time, here are some pics! and will take some more pics of the clean interior tomorrow

SORRY ABOUT QUALITY PICS TAKEN WITH MY CELLPHONE

 

congrats, just need to clean up the interior a bit and u will have a decently clean da

 

It's got a good start. Looks like it's gonna be a pretty fun project.

 

The body looks hella straight. Good pickup

 

i have always had a thing for DA integras....now if this was a 4 door DA nom nom nom

 

Congrats. Not a bad first car/project. Good luck with it, it's deffinitly a learning experience for sure.

 

Base model ftw. Manual climate. baller status

 

Thanks for all your feedback everyone,
but does anyone have any idea what this switch is? we flip it and see no change , were kind of guessing the foglights, but we have no clue,

 

clean body i love that color, very nice project car, find a ls short block for cheap and go ls/vtec on that bitch! haha, jus needs sum TLC a good bath in and out. keep us updated on ur ride

 

nice, it already has the JDM1 piecers. those are a b**** to find lol

 

The fogs are gonna be by the rear defrost switch. that looks like it might a switch for an alarm. Might be something to look into. GOod score for 2000. SHould be a great first car. theres some great FAQ trheads in the forced induction section if youre looking to do some research on setting up that turbo. If you get a chance, check out http://www.team-integra.net/, thers some great info on there as well.

 

Been clean for awhile, just havent had the time to post up the pictures but here is some pics of the "clean" DA











oohh yeah, and here is the before (we cleaned quiet a bit before these pics were taken, just imagine that part thats dirty, like all the way around and twice as worse then you'll get how it came, oh and we found a bra, ahaha)

 

wow, thats one dam clean DA. hope the build goes well. ur gonna have a lot of time before you start driving to get this where u want it. i cant get over that blue color. is that original paint?

 

i have no idea if its the original paint

I want to get orange LED's for my Gauge cluster, but i cant seem to find the bulbs i need on that LED site, can anyone point me in the right direction
I also need a new clutch, so how much does that run?
& Can anyone tell me what muffler i should get, cause right now the exhaust is cut about 2ft from the back, aha.

 

Good pick up bro. Good luck with this project of yours.

 

i've always loved that color. captiva blue, i think is what it is. looks clean too. a/c in an rs, go figure. and 1 piecers? jeez, i remember when i was 15. i still had another 4 years left of taking the bus.
good score, my friend. good score, indeed

 

You will love the DA I also got mine at 15. Dude your so lucky getting those 1 pieces and all the turbo stuff for 2k. Search for clutches I suggest a exedy stg 1 for now but if you put the turbo stg 2 will be better and they should be around 300.

 

yup. stage 2 at least for a turbo app

 

You can get the bulbs you need at local auto parts stores in the rice section, thats where I found mine haha. Nice pick up man. Keep us updated on your progress. Time for some new shoes on that thing.. or atleast some honda hub caps haha. I ran steelies and H caps on mine for a year and people thought they were real alloy's off an SI or something. If you're going to be looking into a new tranny, look into synchro-tech. They are phenomenal.

oh yeah, and as for that switch.. trace the wires? where do they go? I don't think it'd be a valet switch as those are usually behind the mirror or by the hood pop..

 

Thanks, yeah well do the 1 peice have different bulbs than the standard headlights? i mainly want LED's for my Gauges, but i would also like them for my headlights now , so im trying to get it squared off, i cant findout the # for the bulbs ill need for the Gauges.

 

led's for the headlights? you're not talking about strips. please, god. no

 

the headlight bulbs are h4 btw.

 

Liking the Teggy

 

Congrats for your new car! I still remember the feeling when I had my new car. BTW, I brought mine back in 2007 which is also an Acura Integra.

 

no not the strips
