New (to me) 92' Integra RS

[Jardine92DA]

bought a new Skunk2 weighted shift knob. feels amazing, I highly recommend it, here's pics of the wheel/knob:
(don't mind the dirty interior, it'll be cleaned when the weather warms up)

Psh, your interior is WAY cleaner than mine. And just a note, I would have bought a deck before I bought that steering wheel. lol

 

[Jardine92DA]

haha yea man, I will be gettin' a deck for sure. It's on my list of stuff to get. To be honest, I love the listening to radio anyway. CD's are nice, but meh...not my main priority right now. I'm savin' for body work right now. Before summer, all I will probably do is amber bumper lights and buy a new K&N air filter (mine is junk). I just want to lower the Ground Controls down and enjoy the car how it is for a while. Here's what is left on my list:

Amber bumper lights
Cone filter (fix intake)
One piece headlights
Deck
Speakers
Header
Front/rear upper strut bars
Rear sway bar

After I do this stuff, not sure what else I want to do. MAYBE a GSR swap next summer...but thats ^ the main stuff. The car has some rust/dents so I have to take care of that this summer.

So I lowered the front of the car more today. It's sittin' pretty low now. 1 finger gap, and the tire is a 50/R15. Nice and low in the front, but I can't lower the rear. The allen bolt is stripped What should I do? Should I drill the bolt out, and put a new one in? The front is so low, and the rear is so high lol looks weird. I gotta get the back dropped!

:welcome:

Yeah, I would probably get it out and replace it.

Yeah, I would probably get it out and replace it.

Yea, I found out my dad has one of those reverse threaded drill bits, like GraBIT. you drill in with one end (cone shaped) to make an imprint, then you flip the bit, set the drill to reverse, and you drill into the bolt head and it'll turn it out. I'll probably try that this weekend, and definitely replace the bolt. I'm not sure if the rear left coilover bolt is stripped, but the rear right is for sure. I'll let you guys know how it goes, and I'll definitely get pictures of the new height up!

Just ordered a new K&N cone air filter. I measured my filter, and this one is a similar size. It is also the replacement filter for the 90-93 integra K&N intakes, so it should work. Part # RF-1005 http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=RF-1005

My current filter is damaged because the intake piping I have is too short, so the side of the filter rubs against the battery. I'm going to get some 3" piping and extend my intake maybe 4-5 inches. I also sent money to my paypal to order amber bumper lights. I should have them in a week or two...You can see what I mean by the intake being too short in these pics:

I'm not sure if you answered this already, but where are you located? Do you still have the '90 shell?

Also, sweet neon! I has one too!

haha, nah man...sold the 90' hatch a little while ago. lol, thats my moms neon. I hate them...that's all I'm going to say about neons...

the ONLY thing I'm not feeling is the corner lenses. other than that, the car is coming along nicely.

yea, I hate the corner lights too man...I was waiting for someone to notice haha they came with the car. I'm debating either getting clear corner lights for now, or just living with it until I buy JDM one piece in like 6 months lol I dunno, we'll see. Maybe I'll grab a set of clear corners, and hold off on the JDM one pieces for a while...

Got the car lowered right where I want it now. I also got my K&N filter...It had no adapter to attach it to the 3" intake piping, so I had to go ghetto and buy some big metal fitting from Home Depot lol...Whatever, it's in, it's new, I'm happy. I also ordered amber bumper lights tonight too...those should be here in about a week. I've done a ton of shit in the last two months, so I think I'm gonna chill out and just enjoy the car. I have a couple little things to do/get (wiper cowel piece, redrill spoiler to hatch, etc) but nothing serious. No more mods until I do body work. I'm saving as of now until around July to fix all the rust/dents on the body. I want this car in really good shape Here's a couple recent pics:

 

[Jardine92DA]

So not much of an update, but the last few weeks haven't done too much. I had a pretty bad passenger side leak, and I google'd it and read up on it. apparently DA's are known for the cowl seals wearing away, so I replaced all 8 of them:

Also, rigged up my K&N filter with some gutter fitting or something lol w.e. it looks ghetto but I dont really care, it works.

Also, my bumper lights came in, so I installed those bad boyzz

Otherwise, not too much has happened...The car has a pretty brutal exhaust rattle, so I may look into that this weekend. Basically I've just been trying to save money and enjoy the car. Oh, I also had to raise the rear up a touch because it was wayy too low. I was tucked in the rear and i scraped off everything. My resonator was hitting off everything. I also set the front shocks to 3, so now it's 3 all around. Pretty good for DD'ing and it still handles like a bitch!
