Brief history... Got the car 1/28/07 after trading a 97 Integra LS for it. I was about the happiest person in the world to get rid of that thing, actually still in a little disbelieve that I found someone to trade me.







It had ebay coilovers, Apex N1 exhaust, Lightspeed header, GSR cat, amber corners, Spoon style duckbill, Spoon style mirrors, ex/si front lip, fog lights, and a GSR front strut bar.

Then I bought the following parts... Momo Monte Carlo wheel, Momo hub, ASR subframe brace, 24mm sway, Blox LCA's, JDM Accord shiftknob and a Buddy Club Spec II exhaust to replace the Apex N1 because it dragged everywhere.





Then I started looking for some GSR blades. Thought I would never find someone actually willing to sell me some. Had 2 guys back out, 1 guy say he had to find new wheels before he could sell. Finally found a guy that would sell me a set. Drove to Bowling Green, KY met him at a Honda meet and picked these up. 5/19/07



On the way back home, coming through Nashville TN.



Mounted.



Drove the car like this for the longest and kind of lost interest in it and took up a new hobby, collecting firearms.



After awhile I took a new interest in it and ordered some mud flaps and Ground Control Coilovers to replace the ebay ones. Lowered it down more and it still rode better than the egay coils.



Drove it around like this for awhile then decided I wanted some wheels. I came back across some wheels that I had wanted ever since I first saw them some 3 years ago. The guy still had them and dropped the price on them and I decided to get them. Wheels are Black Racing Pro N1's in SBC finish, only ever seen one other set of them. Ordered them from the guy in Japan and a little over a week later this is what I got.



Taking them to get mounted.



Also decided to get some Del Sol seats, the JDM/EDM clear corners, Depo fogs with clear lenses, ebay c-pillar bar and rear strut bar and a new hood because the one on it was in such bad shape and I planned on getting the car painted at some point.





It stayed like this for awhile then I decided to finally get it painted. Friend did the body work and his boss did the painting.

Here it is the day I was getting it ready to drop it off. 3/20/10



Car was there about 2 weeks.





Roof was pretty bad.







Almost finished. 3/31/10





Here it is the night I got it back. 4/11/10



Some pictures I took a couple days later.











Also picked up a new steering wheel around this time, a Nardi Deep Cone.



Couple months later I took these pics that I liked.

 

Recent update... I've raised the car up a little to be more functional, got a SIR 2 piece spoiler to replace the spoon style, and got some new LCA's but havn't installed them yet. Also finished my quest to find some Integra front and rear disc brakes.


Spoiler was painted when I got it, its a little off but it will work for the time being.






Got some PIC lca's to replace the Blox, hopefully the bushings will last longer. Thought the PICs only came in gold, wasn't thrilled about gold so I was happily surprised to get these.




And heres the Integra brakes, fronts are in the box.



Started cleaning the brake calipers, what a huge pain in the ***. Been using carb cleaner about to try some brake parts cleaner and see if that helps any. Still can't decide if im going to leave them unpainted or paint them silver. Also got a chance to look at my brakes a little better, im going to need new trailing arms and ball joints/boots so im probably going to go with some from Energy Suspension.

 

Good work so far, wheels look real good.

 

wow, clean.

 

Lookin good, Subscribed. I also have a thing for VX's, for I own one as well.

 

Car looks good, new paint made it look nice

 

 

Great work so far dude Clean and simple. Nardi wheel is perfection too

 

i love red hatches! nice build man keep it up! any engine plans?

 

Thanks! I love my wheels, i'll probably never part with them.



Thank you!



Thanks, just wish mine got better gas mileage...








Thanks! I like the Nardi wheel too but im thinking about selling it and going back to a Monte Carlo.



Yes after I get done with the suspension im going to do a swap. I think i'll be happy with just a b16... or maybe go with a h2b.

 

Shenanigans! Stick a D16Z with some good cam, lightweight flywheel, etc.... OH and ITB's.

Hardly anyone sticks with the single slammers anymore.

 

i love it.

 

I've had nothing but D series's... I want something bigger for once.








So i've been busy cleaning and painting my calipers... plus the parts I need to fix my brake swap came in.


ES trailing arm bushings and ball joint boots...



And a couple pictures of the calipers painted...







Hopefully won't be too much longer before I get to install the brakes, LCA's and new outter tie rods.

 

I know you have GC coils, but what shocks are you using? Hows the ride quality? B series swap in the future?

 

hi friend.

 

Stocks lol. Rides as you would expect. I paln on either getting the Koni specific Ground Controls with Yellows, PIC's or Buddy Clubs, not sure which ones yet. Swap is coming hopefully after that.




Hi, been awhile!

 

Still in winchester?

 

Looks better then the s*** hole I was looking at this morning, honestly man tha hatch looks good

 

I like your ride height. What motor you plan to swap in?
