JDMchristian991: 97 gsr build thread

JDMchristian991

derpin since '92
Some of you may recognize my user name, as I've had a few builds on here. I haven't been active in the past 2 years due to starting a family and selling both my Hondas. Well recent events allowed me to finally get another integra and I figured i'd share it with you all here. This will probably be on the slower side, but i'll update atleast once a week.


To start, here's some of my past cars.

I built this around 2008-2009. A 95 gsr.




I built this around 2011. It was a 96 gsr with a high comp b20.




My new car is a 97 integra gsr sedan, frost white with black interior :twisted: I've always wanted a gsr sedan, and I've exspecially always wanted a white one. This car came up for sale 3 hours away from me, and I picked it up less then 24 hours later.

It has 8,000 miles on the vin matching motor and trans, but unknown to me (THANKS PREVIOUS OWNER) it had a coolant leak at the connector pipe o ring on the waterpump side. So the cars been on jack stands since 2 days ago since I bought it. The pipe, o rings and a few other things were replaced with oem parts and now she's ready for DD duty. The body was very clean, other then some scuffed front and rear bumpers. I've had it two week now, and it looks a lot different then when purchased.

Here's a list of whats done now, and i'll update it when I get something in. All of my previous cars had hints of spoon sports parts here and there, and my addiction to them really started with the red integra. This car will see as many spoon parts as my wallet can allow. It's already black and white too :lol:
