so i recently got married and now i can start putting some money into the integra . My wife and i will be moving to austin so not to much money can be put into it now. i bought a 2001 integra about six months ago for only $1500 its a automatic and a b18b1 the plans are to be a fun daily with a nice stance not looking for a race car just a little more power and a manual swap, or if i could find a gsr swap but integras are rare down here. I have already done a complete tune up, discarded the ebay taillights picked up a set of oem tails and a set of 8000k hid lights and a little color (purple) flush bolt kit. Well thanks for looking and suggestions are welcome.

 

I don't get the point of buying an automatic and converting it into a manual.

What's the point of it? Should of saved up for a manual or gsr

 

There are still one-owner Integra automatics around. Many in very good conditions. Where as some GSR or manual cars have 6-8 owners and rapped badly.

 

If their was one available i would have bought it, i looked for months for a manual gsr but with no luck. I was lucky enough to find this one at a vw dealer and traded my cavalier for it. had only 68xxxx on it fully stock so i couldnt complain i only gave up a cavalier and 1500 for tags and new tires and a tune up and a viper alarm

 

I see what you're sayin but why put all the work into it just to make it a manual? A lot of effort for no real power improvement. But Goodluck op on your build

 

Its great. U gave a junker n 1500 for it and its not raped by kids so yea have fun buddy

 

bump for a basically virgin integra. good luck man, hope to see more updates

 

Thanks for the kind words! it will be fun not looking to race just a fun daily will be keeping updated

 

always good to hop back in an integra

 

interior looks great man ! hows the motor on it ? mileage ?

 

Bump man integra looks good

 

The motor is great a/c works perfect shifts great it has 68xxx its a 2001 interior n great shape no rips! I'm liking the car cant wait to really get into a nice daily build. Have a question do all the integra taillights say made in japan on them? the ones i picked up don't say DOT on them. They came off an integra at a junk yard the car was a 1999 but the tails had the amber markers, any help on those would be appreciated.

 

not sure what happend to my pictures but here's another

 

You should do the front end conversion. Itd look amazing

 

Nice Choice in color!

 

I would like to if i could get one my wifes parents live in japan so i may just need to have them send me some car goodies in their monthly goodies package they send my wife and i

 

Very nice teggy it has a clean body.

 

hey man , for the tail lights , im not sure but i think oem ones should say stanley on them , but hey , if the ones you got on looks oem then nobody should laugh lol

 

so as i looked closer at the tail lights they say koito japan and some numbers i'm hoping that they are stock tails they look just like stock ones but my buddies say dot on them and mine dont

 

take a picture of them and post it. If it's bone stock I don't see how it would not have stock tail lights

 

Here are the tail lights they look stock but my concern is they don't say DOT on them they say Koito Japan. Oh i also installed a tow strap just for fun lol had it sitting around.

 

So this is what i'm working on now, first time working carbon fiber just taking my time and hoping it comes out. I made a mold and now i'm working on trimming and fitting than more resin and wet sand and clear.

 

if you want a fun little daily, i would recommend in just doing a nice drop, i would keep the rims unless you want different rims but the LS meshies are a good set.

so yah, drop it on nice suspension so u can get a smooth ride, an oem type R lip; nothing crazy where it will just crack and break on you while driving and then just take care of the maint. and enjoy the car

 

Yep my plans exactly! i like the type R lip i do want new rims i hate cleaning the mesh wheels lol. i only want no more than a 2 inch drop and a clean interior .

 

yah haha i loved my LS meshies but cleaning the little areas were a pain
