Really? Wow, Franklin. Way to make my thread awkward right off the bat. When you finish your build thread, it's on boy. :evil:
For those who don't know, DjZGFX is a buddy of mine who lives in my area. He drives a '97 GS-R with a little bit of work done to it. He's pretty cool, and he's also fairly new to the forums going by his lack of posts, so be sure to give him a warm welcome.

I really need to pick an integra up, I miss it badly and it makes me overly jealous of you.

No need to be jealous, man. This car took me two months to find and gave me several headaches. If it makes it easier for you, throw me some opinions about what I should do to the car and you might just see it in the build along the way.
Although, I can't do anything with it other than maintenance and car wash supplies until my truck is sold, the car is paid off, and IF my grades are good enough.
What happened to your old one?

Yeah; I'm gonna clean the IACV out tomorrow. The oil leak is next on the list, then either shocks, shocks/springs, or exhaust after that.
I've already got a plan in my head for it. We'll see where it goes.
Thanks for the kind words! Good luck with your build!

Best update ever. Lovin the parts you have on the way. You may wanna add taillight gaskets to the list if yours leak. Don't forget about that oem sunroof visor.

Thanks man!
As far as I know, the passenger's side taillight gasket leaks a little, but it might could also be the sunroof tube thingy whose name escapes me at the moment.
I'll worry about those gaskets later. Maintenance first.
And what sunroof visor? ;)
Nah. I wouldn't forget that.

So, I figured since it's on the maintenance list, I might as well post this.

I took the factory photo from www.walkerexhaust.com and altered it to my liking in Microsoft Paint.
This is the general idea of what I'll be doing with the exhaust. I may or may not do the flex pipe, and I'll probably be adding a tip.
This might be a little while off, but it's definitely one of the first maintenance mods I'll be doing to the car.
