Default Long time Nissan guy. New here, not to Hondas.

iono if this is the right place to post this but...

Hey guys I just picked up this Integra and thought itd be a good time to join the forums.
Like the title reads, Ive been a Nissan guy all my life, but i can hold my own when it comes to Hondas Ive been around Hondas all of my life (my brothers a hardcore Honda guy) but my hearts still with Nissans-flame on

the cars a 95 LS-S. Its auto
the good parts about it is that it already has a B20B swap and it was completely free! (yes, from my brother)
The car was bought from a friend, and it used to be boosted so it runs a tad bit rich.

on to the pics:


the plans for this car are simple: 5MT conversion which is top priority atm(if youve got any parts hit me up), a B16A head, and a bit of freshning up on the suspension.


moar pics to come.

I like the wheels. LS VTEC conversion would be nice on that sucker too. Good luck on the MT conversion!! Welcome to the forum and joining us hondaheads.

Looks like you've got yourself a project! Are you lucky enough to have a nissan for a daily driver while you wrench the honda, or will you have to do the upgrades on the same car you drive to work/school/etc?

Hope you have the luxury of unrushed wrench time! ; ' )

Good luck

thanks guys!
and no, this is currently my only car until i can afford a second. so this should be fairly interesting...

small update:
so last night i parked my car in my apartments and went to sleep, and in the morning i come to find out its been broken into
they stole the head unit, and an amp... they even stole the cup holder! wtf?! they were also stupid enough to not cut off the pigtails to the head unit. the car is fine but now im going to take the extra precaution and make a kill switch and take off the wheels for some factory ones. damn thieves.

Dude...u just picked up this car, and people are already breaking into it? Sounds like your already living in a high profile area.

I'd sell the car to be honest, thats bad juju...too soon for something like that to happen after purchase. Your being watched.

ive got a neighbor with a B16A EG6 and a turbo ITR, and numerous EM1s, EJs, and whatnot. i doubt i live in a high profile area. plus there isnt much more they can steal anyway besides the stock interior? It just REALLY pissed me off that they stole my goddamn tools.

im making a fuel pump kill switch this weekend and getting some OEM wheels too for a good measure. also im getting some sort of muffler/resonator to quiet it down a bit. And ive got a hint of who it is.... but anyway.

I dont have any parts but I will say it's not as hard as it sounds. Just stock up on all the parts you will need before tearin' into it. I know a bit about it if you want to pm me questions or whatever.

get the most annoying alarm system you can find. my buddy has one on his teg where about 10 seconds after you close the door it sets the alarm. Open the door without disarming the alarm and it'll surprise you every time. haha might help save your next head unit
