Well my name is Kevin Stratton I bought my 2000 Integra GSR bone stock back in September of 2009 and started modding it the day I bought it through out the time I have owned the car and started building it, it has really had its ups and downs and bad luck.

Brought the car home like this:



Within a few months things started coming together and it looked like this:





Then sadly I walked outside one day to find someone had hit me and ran in my own driveway and set me back a little but I didn't let it bring me down it just gave me a reason to throw on a JDM front end so I picked up a 98+ JDM HID front end at a good deal:

All mock up & installation pictures:






And finally with it on and radiator support welded in:


Had bought a Mugen Twin Loop at a steal:




Then well bad luck struck again 6 months after the front end got put on because I wanted to drive the car thankfully it happened before I took it in for paint but I rearended someone doing the front end in putting me back at square one. Most would just stop here and scrap the car which I have came very close to doing multiple times but I am not one to give up so I plan to move forward from this and finally finish something that I have started.

I will be doing more of collecting parts for the time being rather than working on the car to keep from doing what I usually do and jump the gun and drive it before getting it finished and taking the chance on someone hitting it or me hitting someone else but in the mean time I will be working on things like a wire tuck brake line tuck engine bay shave and possibly changing the interior paint over to the color I plan on painting the car also RHD is in the plans I currently have a K20 and a B18C1 swap not sure which one will find its way into the bay just yet but more than likely K Series. Everyone bare with me and I will get some pictures up of the cars current state and I hope yall enjoy my build.

 

looks very promising good luck

 

Thanks but it looked very promising haha not sure if you read the background of the car over the last 2+ years I have owned it but I'm trying to see it through this time with no bad luck

 

5 lug conversion I picked up just have to line up something on some wheels now been looking at a nice set of Volk CCP Mesh 16x7 +27 front 16x8.5 +36 rear

 

very good looking teg!!
good luck!

 

Thanks in the process of getting the cash together to buy a new JDM front end and RHD conversion it sucks I wrecked the car right after doing the last front end conversion

 

Damn man, all in all I'm pretty sure you take a lot of pride in your Integra and in the end you'll keep it to the end But either way, nice car! Hope you get it back to where it was or better yet looking even better

 

i read it lol, just take your time man, and it will come just like u planned, there will be set backs just have to be goal oriented.

Small parts update but its an update
Odyssey PC680 w/top mount posts and relocation bracket

Firewall bulkheads for my charge harnesses and grounds

Remote battery terminals

 

I'm really back and forth about what color I want to paint this thing when it comes time so I'm thinking about throwing my color options out there and taking opinions from people to help me decide. Just to name a few Vogue Silver Metallic, Midori Green, Adriatic Blue Pearl, Championship White and Night Hawk Black Pearl. I'm not a big fan of Milano Red I only bought the car because it was mint and stock when purchased and bought it with all intentions of a color change so any votes on color will be appreciated because I love them all.

 

nice build its looking good

 

Trading my GSR swap in the morning for a complete and running Del Sol to daily drive so the Integra is def getting some K Series love now

 

you going for a K20,K24 or K24/K20

 

Probably just a K20Z1

 

The Del Sol wasnt exactly what I was looking for today it was really riced out so I backed out on that trade just gonna wait on something better to come along or get some cash for the swap

 

i hope you find a nice del sol

 

Yeah I'm looking for a Del Sol or EG Hatch or EK Hatch to daily drive and do a few small mods to

 

or keep the teg wit the k20 as Daily driver too

 

Yeah I only plan to drive the Integra to meets and on weekends after its finished I've had bad luck with it and dont want to take a chance of wrecking it again or someone hitting me and leaving the scene again haha but I will drive it some and enjoy it but just want something I dont mind getting the average wear and tear from the road to drive every day which I cant leave anything stock so my daily will probably end up just as nice

 

i know there are some stupid *** driver dont know how to drive lol

any updates or pics?

 

Yeah exactly sad thing is the car has been hit and ran twice since I owned it once in the front which I replaced the front end then again in the rear bumper which wasn't bad just a small 1" crack in bumper which I will be replacing anyway then I rear ended someone which was my fault but maybe the 4th time is the charm

 

I will have some picture updates as soon as I finish striping down my firewall and engine bay and I have to pick up a Hobart MIG welder from northern tool so I can start on shaving the engine bay and do my right hand drive conversion and put new radiator support in I was not happy with the welds from the last time I paid someone to weld the support in for me so its worth the money for me to buy the welder and do it myself because if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself

 

i know it happen to me with my Yukon i was driving and suddenly this lady crash me on the left side i ended up crashing with a tree and i ended up on the hospital for a week bcz my neck was broke and the thing pissed me off she ran away!!!

 

Yeah I can't believe people sometimes the way they just leave the scene of an accident. Glad you ended up recovering from your wreck though. Chances are the person that hit you either didnt have insurance or didnt have a license.

 

i dint have a driver license on that time but at least the money they game me for the car help me to cover the medical bill and buy a new yukon
