hey everyone, I have done a few posts but I just got my car and I wanted to put it up, tell me what you all think!I think its an LS, I have been trying to figure it out but people say one thing then another, so I have no idea...

 

What year is it, and does it have a sunroof?

 

Does it have a VTEC motor? If it does, its either a swap or a GSR :-D and if not, does it have a power sunroof. If it does, its an LS If it doesn't, its an RS

 

It's a 97 and no but some people say the sunroof was optional unlike the RS which didn't come with one

 

It's an RS then. Just to be 100% sure, does it have power locks?

 

Power windows ?

I think that only the RS sedan didn't have power windows. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Yea it has power windows but no it doesn't have power locks

 

Then it is definately 100% without a doubt an Integra RS. Which is good because they weigh a considerable bit less than the other Integra's.

At least it did before the wing, sideskirts and wheels were added.

 

Doesn't the RS and LS have the same engine anyway?

Now it's just a funky looking LS with no added features.

Yes, the third generation RS, LS, GS, and SE all had the same engine, the B18B1.

 

Did the spoiler and body kit really add THAT much weight? And do you know what kind of body kit that even is?

 

The spoiler and body kit really aren't all that heavy, but you can do a lot for your performance by ditching them in favor of maybe an ITR front and rear spoiler and some lighter wheels.

 

Nice wheels.

 

How much does the ITR front coast? And where could I get one?

 

Usually a carbon one goes for around $250 and a fiberglass one goes for about $150 give or take. There are lots of places that sell them, just search.

 

Wait wait wait! Hold up...don't just go out and get what other people tell you. If you like the way your car looks, then cool.

However, if I were you, I'd figure out what you want to do with the car, and work towards that goal. No use spending money on things you don't need or really even want.

 

Yeah I know, thanks for your advice, I just would like all the advice I can get, and all the suggestions I could get and I will consider them in the future. My main plans are getting a DC Sports Cold Air Intake, a Short Shifter, and some pulleys. Hopefully in the future I hope to get a b series Vtec Head and put it on.

 

You got a car and don't know what it is? Heh.

Anyway, as someone said before, it's an Integra RS. Why do you have LS in your signature? They have the same motor, but it's not called an LS motor (well, some people do), it's called a B18B1 motor.

I think the car looks pretty good, but I'd finish the front end, maybe an ITR lip or something on it. The sideskirts don't "flow" too well right now. And maybe it's just me, but the rear "kit" looks like a 98+ rear ghetto-ly put on a 94-97 rear end. But that's just me.

And another FYI.....maybe the kit doesn't add weight, but it certainly does affect drag the way it is now and will probably slow you down when you're going faster.

EDIT: Thought I'd type a bit more since I'm bored and not going out this Friday night.

Someone mentioned ITR front end. That could mean several things. Since you have a 94-97 front end, you could either get the 97 ITR lip (or Comptech lip) or you can get a 98+ front end with headlights, and bumper lights and get the 98+ ITR lip (which, IMO, looks much better).

The other option is to get the JDM front end, which can cost thousands with proper installation and paint. Those are the one piece headlights you see on some Integras. Looks like this: (It's on a Civic, but the entire front is the same as the Integra)



Better pic:


And your "future" mods of a intake, header, and some pulleys....well, might want to reconsider those, as they won't really do anything. Do some searching on here for the best mods for you.

I think you seriously need to do some research into which mods will help you, and which mods won't. I agree that the shift feel sometimes feels a bit long so I don't blame you for wanting a short shifter, but very few people are using the DC intake. When there are very few people using a relatively inexpensive products, that usually means there is a reason behind their decision. Virtually all aftermarket intakes are the same. All you have to do is find a no-name one that looks similar and has a similar diameter. Only the different designs like the Comptech will see different results. Also, underdrive pulleys usually don't come with the results that the manufacturer claims. I wouldn't be surprised to see a gain of only 3 or 4 horsepower with them installed, and this comes with a slight comprimise in the electrical system (being that the alternator will be underdriven). The LS/VTEC idea is good, but I suggest you research it fully before you turn a wrench. Good luck with the car and as mentioned above, it's good to have goals.

 

Thanks a lot, Cuz I have no idea wut kind of body kit it was or anything. I know the spoiler is a west 3 piece, but thats it. I am planning to get a full supra body kit for it because I like the Aerodynamics of it.

Thank you for your advice. Would there be any way to put a b series vtec head on an RS? I have a lot of help from my brother, because he works at DC sports and custom built an LS/Vtec engine and put it in a 92 Civic HB SI. He's planning to turbo it as well, Im jelous!

 

The JDM conversion I never really like, I like integras because of their whole body style and everything.I'd never change the tailights or the Head lights.
