Default Pics & Stages of my car =)

Just felt like sharing to my fellow H-T members, bored also, but here's the stages that my car has gone through from 99 till now

Just a quick bio and history of my my teg. It was a 1995 4 Door Sedan GSR, Forest Green. I bought the car off of a seller on autotrader.com When I had purchased it, the car it was already somewhat modified body work wise. The color of the car was Neon Lime Green when I had purchased it.

from there this is what I have done to it.

The very early stages of my car when I FIRST got into the import scene:

I repainted the car to white (Platinum White), inside and out, added ww kit, Z3 Fenders, & MR2 Side Vents. I was very fond of the MR2 Side vents and Z3 fenders at the time. I also attempted to redo my interior but i failed...

Stage 1






The second phase of my car was when I blew my GSR motor, my baby was out of commission for a whole good 9 months, so in the meantime while waiting for my JDM ITR motor, I redid the interior to red & white, Completed my suspension setup(Shocks, struts, sway bar, tie bar, brakes, rotors, ect) and my sound system.

Stage 2


























The third phase of my car was when I had taken a turn to fast and I lost control of my car... I ended up messing up the radiator support, Sooo since I had basically messed up my front end I decided to change it to the 98+. After three months of waiting and saving money up ect here's what it looked like. During this time frame I was also attempting to redo my system again and have a different design.

Stage 3








Well after 2 weeks with the new 98+ front end on I found a sweet deal for the JDM Conversion, the guy was selling, hood, headlights, & fenders for 1300, so I picked it up and, about 2 months later I picked up the radiator support, and another 3 months later I picked up the CWest Kit. AFter gathering everything up for the conversion, I dropped my car back into the body shop to have the whole car repainted, including the engine bay.

Stage 4













These steps are just major general things that i can remember but as you can see it's been hell getting everything done up right and such... The car is still in teh shop not fully completed yet... However, after they do finish my baby will go to another shop to have her stereo system redone, and then afterwards it'll go to the upholstrey shop to be revinyled. And then it'll be engine work Turbo in mind, however i'm still contemplating btw a Turbo and a Bike...

Well that's all hope I entertained some of you.

The outside of your car is spectacular. The inside is not so good.

you spent way too much money on a car that won't win any races and won't win any car shows...Just my opinion. If it makes you happy, that's all that matters

i doubt your right in regards to car shows, since its not even done yet and your already making a judgement, although i would agree with you in regards to races. however, in due time my motor will be built up and modified to hit high 12's low 13's well thats my goal anyhow but we'll see what the future holds for the motor, since i'm into bikes now for speed so it doesn;t make much sense to drop 5k in engine work when a bike can satisfy that aspect of it.

with as much money you've spent into your car, I hope you have a decent security system. Wouldn't want to see your car disappear into the hands of thieves with as many Integra thefts there have been. props man.

That's nuts, if only you could take away the non-functional "MR2" air intake vents.
BTW on a Twin MR2 Turbo those vent are very functional. Twin meaning twin induction.

That interior looks TERRIBLE. The white is just brutal. Other than that, sweet car. What kind of seats are those?
