97 Integra LS

I been working on this project for a long time already but never thought about making a build thread until now that i got convinced too by ( Monjarassi )
Specially now that i have alot of free time for now, well a little info about about the car, its an 97 integra that i traded my sister for my civic to sale. I started by just doing the basic bolt-ons n stuff just like everybody does to have a little fun here n there, later on i installed a NX nitrous kit system with the help of ( Monjarassi ) n had fun with that for a few months.. at the mean while i started getting turbo parts here n there because my goal was to go turbo. But then the bad thing happen i fried a piston n was put on the spot to rebuild the motor that i have or go all out, with the help of my bro-in-law i chose to go all out. So i took the motor out n started taking everything out. First off was cleaning out that engine bay because it looked sooo stupid (my opinion). Ive always wanted the 98-01 body style sooo i decided to start sourcing the parts for it and i also wanted to change the color of the car too PY. So i leave ya off with the pictures of the history of my project and up to date where it stands.. I will be updating as i go so bare with me.

Also the main reason to start this massive thread is to help me keep track of the beggining and end of my project racekar..
And for the onlookers and followers any addvice and help or contribution to my build would be helpfull and highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I will start with the beginning of the history of the car, and slowly update it of all the stuff i have done..


Heres the car when i first got it.


And the first setup i started putting together..











And the day after i fried the piston..





Also the conversion took place and only snapped a photo of the rear that day



By that time i had pulled the trigger and sent the car to the body shop for the shave bay and color change











Also moved on to the hybrid 5 lug conversion, brake lines tuck, and manual steering rack.

 

Looks promising. Good luck

 

looks promising bro

 

pictures are red x.

 

Looks like a great build thread! so you have no power steering? Like how you had the paint job done right! strip the car down bare! and shaved bay= sweet!

 

Okay fellas onto the next set of pics of my build..

In this batch of pics ya'll see pretty much all the performance parts for the build and couple of changes since my original plan for the turbo setup..
(btw im the bro in law thats contributing with the build)

 

What car is that steering rack from? I know there are a few Hondas that had them. Also did you have to swap the sub frame, or did it bolt to your existing one? Curious

 

i believe the rack is off a 95 civic he knows the details. the subframe is the same oem one on there.

 

Yup no power steering....n yea the rack came from a 92-95 civic...it'll bolt on strait in, but I had to use the bushing from the original power steering rack... the manual rack is smaller then the power steering one sooo you need to cut the bushing to make it work n stay in place ....
