Hey guys just bought this Teggy this spring. Never had any kind of "quick" car before. haha actually i bought it because im really into SPL and its a small hatchback.. ANYWAYS. The longer ive had this car ive been more interested in it. I've done some simple things to it but i bought it pretty much as is.

On to the pics!

























OK so things done to the car THAT I KNOW OF!

GSR B18C1 Motor swap into an Integra Gs... so basically a GSR?
Stage 2 unknown clutch
Some kind of ecu underheath the passenger floor mat? all i could find outwas that its made by hand-command and powder coated blue by them.
Wings West polyurethane Front/Rear bumper, no side skirts
Lowered on K&N/K&B? springs
Honda steering column
JDM Type r rims
DC 4-1 Headers
Greddy full catback exhaust
Comptech CAI
Slotted and drilled rotors
Pioneer deck and custom voltmeter i made with switch underneath dash.
Windows tinted to 20% on sides 15% rear and front brow (I have a tint perscription)
A/c taken out. FML.
Apparently Splash guard and alot of other things removed for weight reduction. Back seat pads and hardware, spoiler, spare tire tools taken out.... idk.



Basically... the front bumper was F****d and i had to take it off and put some clips/zipties/bolts in it to fix.. looks good now though.
I just bought a type R spoiler, still needs to be painted along with the new door moldings i got from the junkyard today. I have to figure out what i want to do with the 3rd plug on the hatch... keep the plugs in or just try to fiberglass/weld or something over them. Might just wanna do it right the first time.
butttt yeah.

Definitely needs TLC. Engine detailing, paint touch ups, rust, and probably a good Sea Foam cleaning?



GOAL-300hp max. Undecided whether to go with FI or N/A. Build will be slow, just saving money and researching more as of now.

Thanks bud, didnt even know i had type r tails. It well be looking real good in about a week. Plans for this upcoming weekend are paint the ITR spoiler and moldings, shave the trunk and maybe get started on the rust. I forgot to mention the E-Brake is out... got the car raised up and checked it out under there, clean for being 15 years old ill say that... ok off topic lol but i can see the E-brake lines and like the .... man i cant think of what their called.. like the springs or w.e actually moves the brakes but the brake doesnt grip. I think my e brake line is loose, i tried to tighten it all the way and it didnt work, im gonna have a shop work on it im not sure i wanna mess with the e-brake.

Also, the body has 170k on it motor has 120k, starts and runs strong

----Update

Raced a Lexus Sc 400 today from a dig and from 40 multiple pulls. He beat me from a dig and i beat him from 40.. weird because i thought it would be the other way since he has a V8 and an auto trans but totally makes since because i was already @ 5k going 40 in 2nd8) Vtec baby.

Just got shipping info today on my paint.. gonna take like a week to get here and i ordered on saturday:shock:

so im just gonna do body work this weekend with my dad, prep the spoiler and door moldings for paint for when it arrives. (hoping on a whim it will come at least a bit earlier)

I'm also thinking of painting my sideskits as well..
Picked up seafoam and degreaser today @ O'Reilly's. Gonna detail the engine and make it look all purrdy and clean out that 130k of carbon build-up.

Because people die from it and you're not only endangering yourself but innocent people around you, take it to the track or dont even bother.

I would probably never purchase one of those lips for my car, but I do like them. Removing the sub box is always an awesome feeling. I never bump, but I do like being able to add a little bass on certain songs. If your feeling crafty you could always make a fiberglass enclosure on one side and keep one sub like I did. Clean car! Looking forward to see what you make of it.
