got a bit more rust than i like to see, but i live in texas so our cars are rust free lol…looks like u have a good project ahead of you, welcome to the site

3

Damn that engine bay should be first on ur list, clean it up. Bit.

4

yeah, its got rust but around here this isnt even bad! got updates
i got an oem front lip, rare arm rest and rear mud flaps.
also made the interior clock amber, and installed cup holders :wink:

will have more pics later.

5

Good find on the arm rest, Can you post a pic of it? I want to compare it to the one I got out of an accord…

6

i actually think mine is out of an accord to. it was in a da at a junkyard, but its burgandy, which wouldnt make sense with the integra interior colors. so im pretty sure its from an accord.

7

here are the pics.

also picked up some mint gsr back seats

8

Got pics of the amber clock

9

man your quick! haha

guess I should invest some time and hit up my local junkyard sometime… any reason why you replaced the rear seats albeit they are GSR?

I would really like to have cup holders, did they come off a DA or another car?
thanks

10

great progress! i would suggest finding yellow condoms from an acura legend’s fog lights rather than using yellow bulbs, i have yellow bulbs and my fogs are already half way to melted to sh*t lol

btw what car are the cupholders out of and how did you amber the clock out?

11

Theres a cup holder thread in the article section, most likely from a older ford taurus.

For the clock, I’ve seen people paint the back of the clock orange/amber. I suspect the ones being sold on eBay are just that.

Edit: heres the amber clock DIY.

Haha thanks guys! The gs-r seats popped up for cheap so I picked them up. As for the cup holders,they are from a 95 taurus. The amber clock I made from an oem optional crv clock that I took the amber plastic cover and switched it with the purple tinted one that comes on the stock clock
Thanks for the positive comments guys!

13

ordered some HID’s and yellow fogs. not much of an update but heres some rainy day pics for fun

14

hey guys, got some updates.

i spent three days with my uncle fixing my rear brakes. we took the rims off because my brakes kept scraping and sticking. to my amazement it looked as if the brakes hadnt been changed in the cars whole life. it was a huge job but ended up replacing rotors, pads, calipers and caliper mounting brackets. and all new hardware.

also got -
-new foglight bulbs
-new sunroof switch
-energy suspension bushings
-air filter
-spark plugs and wires

pics

foglights

bushings

switch

all back together

more updates soon!

15

well guys, i havent updated this in awhile. so here goes.
i have decided for now, that instead of quicly trying to modify my car with cheap after market parts, that i will replace everything i need to to make everything in good working order again. i think this old of a car needs attention to detail before heavy modification. so that being said here are some of the things i have done to it since i last updeted. i reilize this isnt the most interesting of build threads, but i also have other things i need to pay for before i start throwing expensive parts on this thing.

i replaced the driver side upper control arm and passenger

i also got 92-93 tai lights
and two new blac fenders

also, my hatch was in horrible condition. the shocks were blown so i replaced those, and it was so rusted and rotted it looked like swiss cheese.
so one da me and my uncle decided to fix it, so over winter it wouldnt get worse.

i also landed a job as a full service auto detailer, so i used my new sills to mae it look as mint as possible

i got some integra floor mats, new shift knob, and i also got a valve adjustment by king motorsports.

thanks for looking guys! im going to try and update more frequently

16

got new tires to get ready for winter :bored:

17

Good job on flipping the radio and cup holder positions. Looks much better!

If it isn’t a pain…I would love to see the mounting points on that arm rest.

18

I have a few updates, made a list of things I want to do and have been baking steady progress. So first I found a mint prelude wheel, at the junkyard for $20 I just installed that on Saturday.

Then I also got a blower motor resistor for free when buying the steering wheel. It looked to be brand new so I tried it and it worked! Saved myself $70

I also got sick of having a check engine and decided to finally buy an o2

It hit 168k so I gave her a detail

19

no real great updates, i know this thread is slow but im waiting for winter to be over before doing my suspension. In the mean time i got a spoon shift knob to change things up

20

Not sure why you would be lazy about replacing a $20 o2 sensor when it being bad hurts your performance and fuel economy
