Sup newbooty. For starters, get off passwordjdm's nuts and always shop around for prices. Utilize the experience of others and make it your own in learning. The biggest favor you can do yourself is take the advice of researching topics yourself. Virtually every single question you have or may have has been asked and answered dozens of times over. People dont mind questions but appreciate that people spend the time trying to learn themselves and using the resources that are at their fingertips. When people ask to be spoonfed its always a turn off in helping someone. When you are asking a question try to be as thorough as possible and have details. If you arent sure whether you should post a new topic for a question, ask in the lounge where theres a noobie section. Most questions dont need their own topic, especially those of which come from most new members/learners.

Alrite, onto your car. What do you want to do with it as a car, modifications aside? Cars must be purpose built otherwise they have no purpose and the build likewise so what parts you 'throw' at it wont mean a thing.

What do you have? Whats currently on it? What do you know about it?

If money isn't a problem then just go buy a gsr or a itr and call it a day. Unless you want a project car and learn how to do all that. But if you're a newbie I'd start with small mods and maintenance before your start tearing apart an engine when you don't know how to change the oil (not saying you don't know how to change the oil, just an example)

 

[jimmy404]

LMFAOOOO omg ur crackin me up lol yes i kno how to do a oil change,transmission fluid change ,brakes and tires rotations i kno the basics my dads a mechanic but i dont like askin him questions cuz he knos im up to no good if i ask him bout it and he dont care he says "do whatever u want but when the engine gets old and blows im not spendin money on it" ...lol the first thing i wanna do is rebuild the engine but i wanna kno about the engine system the obd is it compatible with the gsr or type r when i swap it?!?!?

x2... unless you know how to work on cars, youre not gonna get very far. Lsvtec/turbo/supercharging require alot of knowledge and know how.. so stick around on CI and learn a few things and slowly progress with your build.. infact, make a build thread...and we can help you with your build if needed..

ok ok thx bro and guys im doin this for fun so dont be mean ,im also doin this to teach them stupid ricers at my high school who sayin there car is the best and stuff and u guys dont mind i add a few of u for some questions i dont understand??also i dont like loud exhaust i want a low one tht dont cause attraction any ideas like brand? and um should i get some slotted rotors?

Ok its cool that you dont have the car yet and your enthusiasm to learn is good but you need to slow down. Theres a s*** ton of info to learn and no one here will be able to tell you everything you need to know. Also no need to be surprised if someone asks you something as obvious as an oil change. Some might be making fun of you, some might actually be asking but either way they will still be legitimate questions because no one knows your level of skill and experience. Leave all pride behind, no room on the internetz.

For each thing you want to learn theres this awesome thing called wikipedia which google can lead you to. Joking aside, im serious. Ive always found information regarding my topic of interest by searches upon searches. In fact i recently refreshed my little knowledge of superchargers. Theres always more to learn though. Take your time. You wont even absorb it all, especially in a short period of time even if you tried. The first steps to take in learning is getting familiar with your car or any car in general. Proper maintenance is the first thing someone will tell you that you need to know. When theres something you want to learn about make sure you learn about it in a technical sense. Not like 'whats vtec?' 'it gives you more power' 'oh'. Know what it does and how it works. Every part is engineered and tuned with a purpose to a degree you wont begin to comprehend.

You still didnt state what your purpose is. Are you going to track it in road race, drag or just to look cool...

Edit: slotted rotors. Heres your example. Go google slotted rotors and learn about it. A simple answer wont teach you anything. Dont worry about brakes yet.

First off, welcome to CI. XD
If you are planning to go forced induction, do a GSR swap.

We're not being mean, just helping you be realistic about your plans. We don't want to tell you to start a huge project and then get overwhelmed by the amount of time and money it'll take to finish it. I have a WS2 catback exhaust and it's deep and quite until you open it up so I'd go with that one if you're not gonna track your car then don't get slotted rotors, you'd be wasting your money for aesthetic reasons only. Then we would make fun of you jk

Haha. You do have alot of questions... I suggest figuring out what your goal is first, then focus on the different areas of your car that you want to change to achieve that goal.

PS: Post some pix. XD

search up different exhausts for integras, then go to youtube and type it in, im sure there is a video of that exhaust on an integra on youtube and decide whether you like the sound or not..

for rotors, there is no need to upgrade your rotors unless you need to, i.e. track, autox, etc...
