Hey everyone, just registered yesterday and figured I'll introduce myself. 21 living in the High Desert of Southern California, hope to see some of you locals out here soon. My daily driver is way too costly for me at the moment, payments are up the ass plus full coverage insurance is killing me and finding a good paying job is impossible with just a diploma and a handful of work experience, so I need another DD that has no payments that I can depend on in case I fall behind on payments again. I could've bought a Geo or something to get around, but this car will be rightfully mine, I wanted something that I always had my eye on since I as little, an Integra DA. Sure there are 300XZs, 240Zs, and whatnot in my price range, but seeing a clean fresh DA makes me forget about them and I'm a Honda guy at heart before Nissan. So I joined up on here to pick up a little info before pulling the trigger on a 91 with a B20 swap I've been looking at. White, power everything, OEM down to the exhaust, inside and out, and the swap was performed by a well known local shop.If everything goes my way, she'll be soon in my hands, restoring what needs to be restored, basic bolt ons, and a repaint.

Thanks for reading this, I'll make a new thread and post pics when I find that perfect DA.

Probably going to get flamed for this haha, 2008 Nissan 350Z. Before everyone starts saying mom and pops bought it for me, I worked full time under the table since my sophomore year of high school, then worked my way up to manager position when I was legal to work. When I graduated, I bought it for a graduation present to myself. Things started to go downhill when I got laid off, then found a job that barely pays the bills. I'll post pics of the Z if any of you guys would like to see it.

Mine is mostly stock, except for the EvoR Blitz replica rear spoiler, Hawk HPS pads, 35% tint around, iGo GPS and NRG CF hood dampers. Used to have a Veilside V1 lip with an APR CF front diffuser, but had to sell the lip to make a payment back when I was laid off, the diffuser is still sitting under my bed.

Welcome to CI!
Z doesn't look bad. I like the color a lot.
Almost got a black nismo z before I found my R but the place was asking an arm and a leg so I waited...... and low and behold, found my baby

^^ Thank you, it's Carbon Silver, came out for the last two years on the Z33. And when the Nismos came out, dealerships were asking for a hell of a lot just bc there was only going to be 1600 made, but last I heard there was one at a dealership with 25 miles on it and they were looking to get rid of it for 21k. Btw beautiful Type-R, always wanted one in Championship White.

Bump from the dead, found my Teggy, it's not a DA, but I'm back in a Honda! 91 DB1, completely OEM except for the radio, yellow fog bulbs, Del Sol rims, and EK Civis EX front seats. It's an AT but I found a GSR tranny, that's along the line though. Pics will be up shortly and a build thread will soon be in the works, from restoration, to simple bolt-ons, and finally boost in the end.
