Icon6 94 Dc4 Project (Need Help Building)

A Couple days ago i picked up an 94 Acura Integra Rs that has been sitting at a Shop for a couple weeks. I didnt really think i was gonna buy it but i always wanted a teggy so it didnt hurt to ask about about it so i went and asked the owner about it. He told me it was his sons project car but never got around to finishing it so unfortunately it wasnt running because it was missing the ecu and a couple other things and the exterior needed work so he'd leave it to me for a good deal so when it was all said and done he let me have it for $650.
Heres Some Details On It:
B20b W/ Gsr Tranny
DC Sports Headers
R1 Titan Exhaust (Not Installed Yet)
Has Aftermarket Coilovers Just Keep Forgetting What Brand
Clean Interior/Seats Just Needed a little TLC
And I Think im leaving out some things i just cant remember

But bascially i just need some help building this car and making it into somewhat of a head turner lol

Unloading the car off the trailer the balljoint came loose and the axle broke :'(


Had To Fix It The Next Day


Now Able To Roll It Completly Up The Drive Way

What do you need help with exactly? Personally, I wouldn't let someone tell you how to build YOUR car, look through some integra picture threads and find one you really like and make it like that, not what someone else wants or would do. What are you looking to do with it?

Nice pick up by the way. But please get rid of those tail lights lol.

Elaborate. Looking for opinions on what? Appearance? Wheels? Engine modifications?
We can point you in the right direction, but will let you choose for yourself as you should.

For Paint I Was Thinking Of Just Putting It Back To Its Original Red Color Or Msybe a Champion White, For Wheels Im Not To Sure Ive Always liked the hellaflush look but is it even possible integras because of the fenders? and as far as the engine goes i wanna see how it runns once i get it started before i decide to modify it. but i do need an intake just dont know if i should get a cold air or a short ram

Why do you "need" an intake? Keep the factory one and make it an "icebox" (google it if you don't know what it is). Championship white looks great, but very played out, so is milano red though. I would find a color you really like that is different, and go for it. Hella flush can work, sadly I have seen it a couple times on DC's. If you like it, go for it, it is your car, you are the one that has to drive it and look at it everyday, no one else does.

It Doesnt have a stock one neither its been like that since i bought it. And yeah i know but where i live theres not too many integras so theres no champion white integras lol theres a couple stock milano reds but nothing that would be breaking necks :p
as as far as the hella flush i was looking at some diamond steelies that i really like so i might just pick up a set of those

Your best bet would be to get it running in tip-top shape first unless you already have a daily. I would start with a full tune-up, also do LOTS of reading on the site. Hit up the FAQ's, stickys, you will learn alot, and find answers to just about any question you would ever have.

Oh yeah i also like the diamonds..

I agree with that, get it running like new before you touch any body/suspension stuff. If you like white integras, and diamond steelies, then go for it, as long as you are happy with it, that is all that matters. I would change belts, fluids, plugs, wires, cap and button maybe ignitor as well, fuel filter, gaskets, brakes, bushings. Maybe even a fuel pump and main relay. THEN go to work on appearance.

You already turning heads in that car the way it looks...LOL

car needs lots of work but you already know that, at least the doors are shaved,

Get a 2001 Type R USDM front bumper with lip or JDM front end

milano read might be the way to go since the engine bay is already red.

Check out some craiglist ads for some rota rims or some other used rims.

get rid of the Altiza old lights and get some Oem tail lights

And keep the Tower strut bar, but remove the "SPOON" sticker as the one you have is a mugen replica (hell throw on a Mugen Sticker on it and rock it that way too)

Check to see if the timing is off or not?

Also appears that you have a fuel regulator, try adjusting it maybe its not regulating the fuel properly?

Either way, who give's a shiz if it's real, even if it's ebay, it does the same job (just might not have as high of a stress tolerance), it's better than not having one. And I was gonna say something about that being a mugen style, you can tell by the "V" shaped part that mate to the strut tower.

You mean wire it directly? you could splice into the wires that go to the fans and hook em that way for a temp. fix, they connectors that dont require cutting, wiretaps? i believe is what they are called
