hello im looking to get an integra type r dc2 in a couple of months and was wondering what some low budget mods i can do are?

cheers for any help guys

 

Low budget and modifications don't mix.

 

By low budget I dint mean cheap parts just parts that wnt burn a hole in my pocket after buying and insuring the car

 

Hopefully u understand what I mean lol, going to a car show in august n will only have like 500quid I cn afford to spend on the car before I leave for the show (about 700-800 dollars) so just wanted to knw what that would get me

 

Well your trying to allocate "mod" funds for a vehicle that isnt even had yet?

Get the car first and take care of what are sure to be some issues with it. Drive it for a day or two and feel out the car you buy before just buy some go-fast part you've seen.

You may drive it and it has a leaking strut. What if the caR you buys needs tires or brake pads? What if A MILLION things.

....you dont even have a car to mod yet... worry about that first.

Low budget mods? Intake, HP Brake pads, header, sticky tires, exhaust, intake manifold? it all depends on what you wanna do with the car.

 

I was more wondering what I could get for my money than allocating a budget ive already factored in new tyres all round, new brake pads and a full service

 

Like what DC2-ProdUcTiOnS mentioned earlier, is your car going to be used for show, drag race, road race, parking lot pimping? Choose one and then you'll get more direct responses.

 

It will be a daily until I can afford a second car

 

Seriously?? You can afford to purchase and insure a Type R, which in the States will run you between $12 and $16K for a decent running one that is not ratted out; and you are worrying about how much mods cost?? Really?
Listen to DC2Productions' advice, or better yet go buy a modded GS R so you do not tear up a good Type R with shitty mods.

 

Once you actually do have my advice would be to keep it stock, it's worth more that way anyhow.

 

We dnt have any other integra in the uk, so gs-r isnt an option or I wud already have one and it would cost me the equivelant of about 9000 dollars to buy and insure 1 with low mileage, also as I said I dint mean shitty mods. This will be my last post on the subject cba with the hate, ill be bk wen I get an itr.

 

good luck!


no bs. its a fun car after all..

 

Maybe learn how to spell and use punctuation too. Good luck finding an ITR for under $15K in the UK.

 

The UK market is a little different. You can buy a surprisingly clean (from eBay photos anyways) ITR for $15K with cash to spare.

To the OP, perhaps it's best saving that £500 for a good servicing and running costs.

 

-keep type-r stock
-dont drive it
-profit

 

Any bseries n/a engine mod is not really worth the money IMO itd be better spent on suspension refresh or maintenance items.

 

Altezzas.

 

Don't do mods first. Freshen the car up with new bushings, replace worn parts, etc.

After that, check your budget then consider the best bang 4 for $$ parts. I think you'll find better shocks high up on that list, along with tires (or tyres).

 

i think koni/ground control is the best mod... just saying. lower it.
