the pics are of when i got the car. I need to take some new ones,

Body Modifications:n.a
Interior Modifications:double din cd player
Engine and Transmission Modifications:B16A (2nd gen) S80 lsd 5 speed ( soon to be a spec r engine)

General Comments: Well this is the car i am going to fix and make it right again. I am not going to rice this car out. I am going to keep as much stock body parts as i can.Right now i am trying to sell the B16A so i can get closes to buying my spec r motor swap. I am not into street racing or stupid childish stuff like that. From the look of it the last ower blew the B18c1 that was in the car and for some reason put a B16a into the car.

I have no clue why someone who even do that,but i will make my car a true gsr again. My goal for the car is to fix the body and make it cool like new again. It will take time and money, but at the end of the day who cares when you loves cars.

The way i am going with the car because i have kids and a wife is skunk2 sport strut/shocks, skunk 2 lowering springs, blox lower control arms rear, full blox front/rear camber kit,rims (unknow as of it), find some grs seats and have them done in leather with the color of the car, install new speakers ( car has no speakers), have the body fixed and painted,wire tuck, front/rear lip kit with some better looking side skirts. I am am in no need for a fast car, but would like to turn heads and have people say damn he took care of his car.

I have a rule with car if you want to talk smack about my car. Send me money to help fix it or grow the heck up and if you car is a p.o.s don't be a hater.

 

Sounds like fun! Doing something similar with a recovered '96. Hope to have it on the road in April.. ; ' )

Good luck - looking forward to watching progress.

 

Nice ride!! wecome to HT!!

 

Welcome, clean teg, there is a picture thread in the stickys, but welcome to the forums.

 

Nice.... Keep to that goal. & take your time on building your Teg just the way you want it.. Don't let anyone knock you!! Your should check out funtion & form coilovers. Around $600 from Weak SOS. Best bang for your buck. Plus fully adjustable is the way to go! Good luck yo

 

Yea i am not going to let anyone talk shyt about my car.. Right now i am looking at (skunk2 coilover, kyb agx sturts, koni yellow front sturts ( i have koni yellow on the rear) and looking at other setups. I am not trying to have a lot of brands all over my car... I have been thinking about going with the blox lower controll arm, blox camber kit ( front and rear). I am thinking jdm password or megan racing front/rear upper/lower strut bars.

I will be getting a hid kit today or tomorrow for my birthday. Just to make the engine bay look better i have been thinking about some small stainless steal fuel lines, replacing the pulleys, having a wirer tuck done and getting a new intake. Right now i am just working on getting new struts and removing the ebay coilovers and replacing the front camber kit. The arms are not bad, but i am ocd about stuff and love to spend money that i don't have lol..

After all that i am going to have the body work done and start work on the inside of the car. I am looking to replace the civic seats with grs seats. I am going to have the gsr seat done with black leather and a red stripe down the middle like the back seat. I am also going to have integra gsr sticked in the head rest. I can say this is take me a while to get her looking like she should.. One thing about me is i love me car and i will do what it takes to make her feel new and wanted.

I know i am also going for red carpet for the inside, but i am not paying 600.00 for "jdm carpet".When i am done with this car i will look back at all the work and just smile. I don't need a race car, but i would like something that can run and look damn good doing it.




Update:

So i painted the valve cover and killed the ugly red top the guy did a bad job on. I also replace the valve cover gasket to play it safe..


It looks so beautiful.



Looks so much better

 

Save the Integra!!! GL OP!!!

PS- prior to purchasing parts think about the following bud: Blox LCA's = no good. Camber kit is most likely not needed based on the suspension and wife approved ride quality your looking for. Do a little bit more searching regarding some of the products your thinking of and I think that you'll find you may want to go a COMPLETELY different direction.

Welcome to HT man.

 

The blox setup is not set in stone. What are some better brand that do not cost a arm and leg to get? I am not looking to spend over 200-250 for rear lower controll arms. I would like to spend around 6-800 for coilover. Right now i am just shopping around. I have to pay some people off and getting other things paid off before i can really start working on my baby.

 

Welcome to Honda-Tech.

Please read the Forum rules and stickies at the top of the forum and we'll all get along

 

To be 100% honest I'd only sport Function 7 LCA's if I wasn't going OEM but they definitely cost an arm and a leg. In your case look into skunk if your absolutely set on getting LCA's. I'm hoping you know LCA's are more or less for "show" right?

For suspension I'd go koni/GC w/street rate springs (I've got kids and wife too) if I had to do it all over again. I went w/Eibach springs and struts (million mile spring warranty, under $500) Totally family approved although I'm not all that low. You'd probably be very happy w/a set-up like koni str.t's struts and tein s. tech springs...you don't need to spend $6-8 to get good suspension. If you need adjust-ability and raise and lower the car alot coil overs may be the way to go...but then your stuck doing alignment constantly. That sucks bonkey dolls and gets expensive...

Its your car, and I praise you for wanting to take the right direction. Hopefully that'll be somewhat of a start for you.

Spends some time in the suspension forum, that'll take the right direction.

 

I know they are for show only...As for the wife and kids i am lucky they don't ride with me.. When its time for the family to go out we take the Xterra. I will do some reading and see the best setup and price. I don't think i really need coilovers and lowering springs would be better for me. I am looking to lower the car and leave it alone.

As for showing the car i am looking to going with a stock look ( other then a lip kit) and suspension work. I need to stop trying to be cheap and do this right the first time. Cheap is never better and you end up spending more then what its worth to fix the problem.

I will take some time to night to read up on the site and check out brands that others are using. Then i will know the price range and what i should go with..

 

Your already on the right track Freeclowns.

PS- for a HUGE suspension difference think about a rear sway bar such as the Beaks/98 Spec ITR sway bar combo or the Progress 22mm rear sway bar/endlink combo. Best $180 suspension mod you can do to your car. period.

Cheers

 

Good job! Enjoy your car!

 

time for a car wash!

 

I have not been able to take new pics of the car.. Also why wash it when it will be yellow the next day lol...I know i am looking for some gsr seats that are a pos and showing it's age.. The sad part about this is car has to be it has no speakers, civic front seats, missing cc and light dimmer controller, 80% of the car was done with spray paint ( funny part is the car turns blue in a cold air) and have a like new (40,xxx) b16a with a S80 lsd tranny.

The great part is i have something to do for the next 3-5 years as a build this car back the what it should be. I will try and see if i can get some new pics of the car. I traded the steelies for some rims that looked better and the spy paint job and starting to show.

As for the B16a I am not looking to keep the motor or put many miles on it. I am hoping I can sell the motor,tranny and all needed parts for some to just swap it into a civic or any other car they would like..

Just to ask do you all think a B16a with s80 lsd 5 speed tranny,stage 2 clutch,radiator,harness,ecu,dc sport header, cat, greddy catback and axles worth 2400.00?

 

nice car glwb

 

lots of potential there, how long have you had the car? You could prob get away with a good clay bar and polish if painting is nowhere near time yet. Or if you arent gonna be painting the whole car.

I suggest ditching the hid kit idea and look into retrofitting. Do a little research on the comparisons between the two and youll understand. But whats not to understand? Aftermarket pnp kit with poor rnd behind it vs factory oem hid's. For someone who knows enough to get rid of ebay coilovers i would think youll easily get the idea. And you already have super clear lenses with the halo headlights.

 

i can do a update on the car for you guys. Also still no body work has been done to the car.. I would rather it look like crap and be able to drive it knowing i will not end up with on the side of the road looking good lol. Also what started the repair list was the passenger upper ball joint castle nut broke off and the spindle fell out. I was luck it did not f things up really bad.. the spindle went to the front of the car and pinned itself on the wheel well.
