Hey everyone! I got my car about 8 months ago from a family friend for $1200 with 211,XXX, steelies, and salvage title. After replacing the clutch, front shocks,struts, and cv axle I was finally able to drive her! Now I'm at 215,XXX and I've added some LS mesh.

Car: 1996 Acura Integra LS 215,XXX, Salvage Title

Mods: No name engine strut bar
Lowered on Godspeed coil-sleeves
Gabriel struts
EBay CAI
Flow master exhaust

Engine: B18B1
Tranny: S80 Gsr

Wish list: Full Catback exhaust
Gsr swap or Lsvtec
Coilovers
Paint
Camber kit

My plans for right now (other than saving up some $$$) are type r header and some body work.
Here's some pics!




If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, I'm only 17 and eager to learn more. Thanks for looking!!

Wow i had the same car except it had a body kit. I was de-riceing it, but I decided to sell it.
Just to let you know, a ls/vtec is not as good as a gsr swap. Lsvtec is more unreliable, according to my research.

Ls/v is just as reliable as any other swap done right

Yeah I would love a gsr swap but as of now there looking a little pricey, I'm definitely keeping my eye out though. I've also herd about Lsvtec being unreliable, but I've also read that if you don't cut any corners you can get some decent power. I'd like to build an Lsvtec or b20vtec and really take my time.

I enjoy Integras.
Nice DB man! The blue DB7 in my sig is my old Integra. She was my first car and I got her when I was in high school. She's gone now though, good luck on yours!

Ls vtec for sure dont spend money on a gsr, when u can have a mild built lsv for as much as u would pay for 1 although gsr trannys are better then the ls lol

Go lsv IF you are willing to put the time in to do it right. Do one thing wrong and your engine is screwed. Get a gsr swap if you want a smoke machine every time you hit VTEC lol
