Alright, I haven't been on the forums for a long time so I am providing some updates on my car, last thread was:
http://www.clubintegra.com/board/showthread.php?t=48717
But, since then, I have put in about 300-500 more bucks into it. It drives so much better now.
This list of things me and my friend changed:
New spark plugs
Took out cat, put in straight line (made it run a lot better it was totally clogged)
Put on an exhaust on
Put "tweeters" on
Put JDM one piece headlights on
Put fuel filter on
Changed oil (was blacker than black)
Change tranny fluid (was black)
bought new tires
moved the battery to the back, to free up engine space
Put in rear and front strut bars in (help a ton!)
changed breaks
put on a new air intake
got a original cluster, the racer one was dorky looking, the people who put it on, just sharpie'd over the stock ones... :/
took off the decal on the back window
Painted the rims (needs repainting, I need to put on a glossy color)
painted the windshield wipers, and the corners of the windows (they were metal looking, painted black
Put in Yellow Fog lights (JDM style)
Added a front lip, spoon
And some other smaller things. but this is mostly it. I will be spending more on it. I want to redo the leather seats, they have cracked and ripped. so they need redone. my driver side door is still dented, so still looking for one. I am puting in am amp and sub 600W, 12 inch. I want duel, but who needs that much noise?
What I still need is struts, motor mounts, driver door, seats repaired, painted. so not to far from the half way line
The tweeters really improved the sound quality. they are louder than the original speakers. (btw, I bought them from a friend, they are custom)
I am also putting a Turbo in it. Not to big, just a little one.
I went cruising to get a few races in. My first race ever, was against a Mustang, V6. It was pretty beat up, but I didn't care. We did a professional race. We honked 3 times, then gunned it. Whew... he beat me at the take off, but I got him in the end. He was pretty mad. He left pretty quickly after that.
My car has 240K miles on it. all stock except the things I changed. The original tranny and engine. So it works pretty darn good for how much it was used. It has around 145-148 HP. Fastest I have gone is 90, and that was my friend driving, trying to get to the lake to swim... we got pulled over by a state trooper. 208 dollar fine lol! glad I wasn't driving.
I change the oil every 3K miles.
I have been thinking about painting it. since I will have to paint it after putting on the new door and fixing some rust. so, what do you think of white on white Tegs?
Thats pretty much it, if you have any questions just ask me.
Take a look for yourself!
SOME BEFORE AND AFTERS?
