not sure if anyone has seen our Integra DC4 we had for a year or so, it's been sitting for the past 6months and we lost all motivation to keep the build going, so threw it up for trade on craigslist and got offered this crx....

i know it's not the cleanest car in the world, hell, it's pretty beat the **** up. but the plan is to keep it real simple and clean, make it look stock like a sleeper, that way all we need to do is adjust the suspension settings and swap wheels and it will look real nice for meets... And for daily, leave it lifted up high, with steelies & ghetto chrome hubcaps lmao....

some of you may have seen my laguna gold ed6 hatch, and I run high 13's with it, so the current plan is to swap everything over to this crx HF and try hard to run low 13's all-motor with only bolt-ons, and maybe mid 12's with a 25-30shot of nitrous.


this is the old DC4 that we traded.... shell for shell trade.

updates coming soon!!! mostly just prepping the engine bay and taking off a bunch of stickers everywhere


:corn:

 

sun roof switch...
i like the dc better though...

 

yeah it was a lot nicer of a car.... but this car msot likely won't be much of a daily driver, it's my brother's car and he daily drives a nissan 350z, so this is just a sidecar to run at the track and/or suprise some cocky V8 owners hahaha

 

thats a sunroof switch. not sure why its there, i dont see a sunroof

 

yeah lol idk why it has the switches.. but whatever, can either sell it or use it for something haha

further interior updates on the way, leaving to drive from central CA to Utah tomorrow, so next week is more progress time!!!

 

man, that DC was nice...looks like mine with steelies. Good lucky on the project,

 

cant wait to see that progress i own a rusty ef8 and i am planing to fully restore it

 

nice project

 

yeah she was a pretty decent car, my bro bought it for just over 7,000 about 2 years ago, but the car started having a lot of problems, needed tags, and got sent to the state referee, so we felt like starting over with a new project, even though it will never be as nice as the old DC4
thanks, and good luck with your build too man!!!
thanks

 

haven't had a chance to work on the interior yet, reassembled the front end and stuff, trying out different wheel setups, see what we like best. Most likely going to end up running the 88-89 Si sawblades or just the steelies with hub caps lol
