-Full '00-'01 Integra GS-R Graphite Black Leather Interior w/ Checkered Floor and Trunk Mats

It started out as a Granada Black Pearl '94 Integra LS with taupe interior. One of the previous owners was in a serious front passenger collision in 2008 and the car was deemed a total loss by their insurance company. The owner before me purchased the car from the insurance company and repaired the damage. A new front clip and passenger door was installed, all the glass was pulled and the car was repainted with DuPont ChromaBase Championship White from the '97-'98 Integra Type R. Fortunately, all the jambs were painted too but the engine bay is still the original GBP.

I purchased the car in February 2012. It was a shell with no engine, transmission, front brakes, wheels and tires. I needed to get the car going the same day I picked it up so I threw in a D16 for a few weeks while I finished getting my B18C1 swap together. I also installed my Wilwood Dynalite BBK and a set of Konigs that needed some love. The car also came with an A'PEXi N1 exhaust that a ran for a while until I found a replacement.





I had to replace the rear brake pads as soon as I got the car so I picked up a set of Hawk HPS pads and AutoZone rotors. Painted the rotor hat black to match the fronts and threw them on after work.



Three weeks go by and I finally get the time to install my B18C1. I paired it with a B16A transmission for slightly better gear ratios. I managed to trade the A'PEXi exhaust for an OEM '98+ LS exhaust and painted the front grill black as it should have been done when it was painted.







Spring time brought warmer temperatures so I got A/C reinstalled and repainted the wheels gunmetal





Summer brought more changes on the car. My 949 Racing 6UL wheels arrived after a 5 month wait. I bought a set of JDM '94-'97 bumper lights, PW:JDM air intake and a Fluidyne Radiator.







Onto the Fall of 2012. After following a number of people who owned 15x8 949 6UL's and seeing the problems that they were having, I decided I needed to get rid of mine and go back to a set of stock wheels until the next year. I also swapped the original tan cloth interior over to '98+ GS-R black leather interior. I haven't taken any pictures of the new interior but I'll post some up soon.





Here's the current status of the car for Winter '12/'13. I've always been a fan of Comptech USA so I started sourcing some of the parts they made for the Integra in the late '90's/early '00's. I bought and installed the Comptech Icebox, exhaust manifold, cat-back exhaust, rear sway/tie bar combo and billet plug wire cover. I also installed a replica Si-VTEC front chin spoiler.





And that's how the car sits for now. I'll have more updates as a make progress restoring and upgrading the car. Thanks for looking!

Haven't updated this in a while. I got new wheels and a couple new Comptech parts. Did some regular maintenance and had the opportunity to drive at a track day. Here's a couple pictures. Thanks for looking.
