Next step for this car will be to get some more power, not too sure how I'll do that as of right now but will eventually figure that out.

Best laptime as of yet was 2:26 at Autoclub Speedway in Fontana on their Roval CCW course.

Let me know what you guys think! Comments and criticism are welcome!

 

Looks like a pretty solid car to start on.....any rust?

 

Not really, There is a tad bit on the undercarriage and some of the OEM suspension parts, places where you'd expect it, but otherwise it's very minimal

 

clean ... but you have to lower that front to fix the reverse rake

 

reverse rake? I have no idea what that means, it's all lowered the same amount on eibach springs.

 

To think that dumping money into a 15 year old Honda can be considered an investment.

I tip my hat to you sir. You are truly a gentlemen.

Props for SAE shoutout

 

seems pretty logical, right? haha

At the end of the day though I would be putting money into making sure everything is in working order/maintained before going that route, so I guess an investment of sorts to ensure the longevity of the car

They are definitely a good group of guys, really care about their finished product over making a quick buck. All the folks there have been pleasant to talk to and work with.

 

Definitely a good group. The car meets and bbq's they have at the shop usually have good turnouts and are a lot of fun. Been a while since I've been down there.

 

Nice, I haven't really been to any meets (save for a super small one a couple nights ago) yet since this car is more or less my introduction into this type of stuff. I'm definitely going to try to make my way to one in the near future though, would be neat.

 

Cali car? that's an insanely clean underbody.

 

yes sir, thanks! :D

 

Bought some small misc items for the teg, been needing the pedal covers for a while since I don't have anything on my clutch atm.... (so my feet won't slip anymore, especially when wet O_O ) and the end links because my stock ones broke

and some silly engine bay dress up stuff because why not. (didn't run me much)

 

been a while since I posted any updates, I've since gotten some new wheels/tires (Axis Touring Cup 17x7 with kumho ecsta 215/45/7's mounted), and OEM mudflaps

I have a GReddy EvoII exhaust waiting to get put on since I need a decent (and CA legal) header and high flow cat :/

 

If you would ever like to sell your Touring Cups let me know. I am in CA as well.

 

No way, I just got them

 

Do you know of any others out there. I have 2 but need another 2 to complete my car.

 

Honestly, it was the first time I had ever seen them when I did on craigslist. I haven't seen any more since.

 

Took some rad pictures this morning while the fog was still out and the morning sun was hitting the golden hills of SoCal. BEAUTIFUL hnnngggggg (also makes for a nice contrast to the voltage blue)








My favorite pic out of the 4



Also just got my DC Sports 4-2-1 Ceramic Header in the mail. Now it's just a matter of taking my car in to have my exhaust system put it (would do it myself, but some welding is required, and I have no welding machine/experience)

 

Very clean Integra - I must admit, i like it better on the LS Webs

 

I have to admit, they were a bit difficult to stomache at first since they seemed so big, but they fill out the wheel wells perfectly and it's grown on me :D

 

Clean integra. I've always been a fan of stock integra wheels. Not a fan of anything bigger. Just doesn't look right to me. But if you like it then who cares.

 

That last pic looks like it would be the cover page to the acura brochure.

 

I think the wheels look great. Era specific even. Keep up the good work!

 

Appreciate all the feedback guys!

As for the front end, I don't think I'll be changing it. I really don't mind the bug eye look over the JDM front end. Body wise I'd just like to keep everything as is.

That last pic is definitely my favorite too!

 

I'm a fan of the bug eye look too so props
