oh not a whole lot...I wanted to fix all the wrong before i start on upgrades. the guy i got it from admittedly said he did nothing other than change the oil.
So far I installed an exedy stage 1 clutch, swapped in an 02 LX speedo with a tach, Brembo drilled slotted rotors (found on craigslist for 50 bucks!!) a modified factory air box w/ K an N filter and that strut bar which is going on soon. like I say i want to do the v-tec head swap but im hesitant. but it would open a huge door of tuning currently unavailable to my non v-tec. would like to drop it, but then i gotta worry bout speed bumps, snow piles, camber kits and all that. so im pretty much sticking with engine upgrades |

Its a good thing to start first with the problems! I didnt do that and it is a real problem :(
I drive also with a exedy stage 1 clutch and I love it!
Head swap sounds good indeed! But why not a whole swap? like a B16b or something? And the tach speedo looking good!
A low car is cool man! And braking for speedbumps itsnt a problem with your rotors!
My mod list.
Honda Integra Type-R #1649 (original Dutch car)
- Spoon drop-in filter
- Spoon N1 Mufler
- Spoon N1 B-Pipe
- APE Highflow cat - Spoon Fly Wheel
- Exedy stage 1 clutch
- Original Modulo optional sideskirts
- Original Modulo optional rear valances
- Honda optional rear strutbar
- Honda Integra Type-R Rear Window Film (and one brand new in box)
- Tein S-Tech Lowering springs (3cm)
- Rear Fog light removed
- 16" JDM Rims
- JDM Folding Mirrors (and I changed them to LHD)
Maybe I forgot something...
And there is a long dream list
Ad some pictures of your car! And how old are you actualy?

LOL, my dream list is long too, id LOVE to do the turbo thing, but i have a feeling by the time I spend enough in parts, labor, and headaches I may as well have bought another car!
Engine swap? nah, same reason, may as well buy a faster car. LOL pictures...it aint too special lookin, pretty stock as of now. When I install the rotors and new (to me) wheels, im going to paint the brake calipers red...or blue...havent made up my mind yet. car is silver...no engine accents yet either, but I plan to match the rotor color with other future engine accents. And maybe some window tint to block the nosey pigs trying to see if that really is a cigar im smoking |

Whaha lol... But why did you bought a Honda? If you would a turbo??? Honda is made for the horsepower... Not for the torque... But I have to say it is cool... A guy that I know owns a ITR Turbo with 350 Bhp
Yeah indeed... Buy a Integra?
Ah okay... Haha i would make the calipers blue or gunmetal blue... Red has everyone already... And that is a nice thing! Haha over here in the netherlands you may not have a verry black window tint... that sucks...

Honda reliability man! They last forever!
And naw, if I bought a car for speed/power, I would go subaru wrx, Audi S4, BMW M3... And your right, everybody has red calipers...gunmetal blue...now THAT sounds sexy....hmmmm.... And you cant tint very dark here in the states either, but I was thinking maybe 5-10%, not too dark it hampers my night vision or I become a pig (police) target. |

Just a thought, but why can't we just use the -CAD Forum- Area for this type of stuff? It would keep the nonsensical clutter out of the primary forums.

I think you're missing my point tulip, the "Not an autocad problem" type threads can be created in the -CAD Forum- Area. And you don't even have to say "not an autocad problem", you can name it something like "Honda Integra Type-R mods" or "Are BMWs cheaper than Hondas?" or whatever you like.
And as far as cars go, I stick with the good old American Muscle car. I'm not too 'up' on Japanese or European cars, so I just prefer to listen. |
