Hello everybody my name is Carlos. I live in Florida i have had 3 Integra DA in the past and finally decided to fully build one into a street/track fun project. Maybe you guys seem my part out thread from years ago i had pretty much every rare oem jdm part there was offered for this car, sadly i parted out and i wish i never did but anyways. I recently picked up my 1993 Integra Rs base model with no sunroof and no power which is exactly what i was looking for about 1-2 month ago roughly. i currently own 3 cars
my 1997 s14 kouki rb25det swapped
my daily 2012 is250 fsport ( dropped on some wheels and bc coils)
My 1993 integra RS project car
Here are pics of when i got car it was pretty much stock other than jdm one piece lights and some xxr wheels.
car was really clean with no major damages or any signs of RUST which was my major concern on these older cars. picked it up running for about 900 bucks to a local guy which was really cool, just did not had time or space for the car so i got lucky.
when i got it home couple days later… set car on jackstands and sold wheels for $400 with tires.
sold complete swap with everything for $450. So after selling tires and swap i almost got a free shell which is what i originally wanted.
took engine out…
took whole front suspension in 1 piece … so much easier and less messier than taking apart
cleaned out engine bay componets ready to wash and clean, sand and primer.
funny what a little degreaser and soap and water can do lol… like new after cleaning
Pressure cleaned and painted both fender inner portion, it was gross with grease and dirt. I used regular Rust proof paint from autoparts. came out clean.
Primered engine bay and painted it with some Creamy Tan color.
From here i jumped to the inside… took the whole interior apart dash, seats,seatbelts, etc…
from here i cleaned the whole interior to bare metal, took some dry ice and took out that ugly sound dreading material. im running a gutted look from the front seats back so its only fair i make it as clean as possible.
Once interior was all nice and clean i did the same process on the inside. Primered and painted the fron with some rust proof and half back with some primer and painted it to color match the engine bay. Reason i picked this Tan color is because im painting car Black cherry Pearl so the light interior will stand out nicely.
Once paint dried i tucked inside harness and retaped the old wire harness with new fresh tape for a cleaner look.
Meanwhile i was putting in work i was ordering some new parts online such as
Hasport mounts, hasport cable to hydro conversion, brand new tucked wire harness for a b20 vtec swap thats going into the car.
talking bout b20 vtec picked up the engine from a local guy which was also a cool dude. he has engine running in his crx he sold the shell and i got the engine from him full complete b20 vtec swap with gsr hydro tranny mild build for $1200
Engine came with b16 head, type r cams, type r oil and water pumps, type r manifold, dual springs, all new oem honda/acura seals. Block has ycp 11:5 pistons, arp studs and new headgasket. also came with aem furl rail and fpr and aem cam gears. it was a nice deal so i jumped on it. the swap also came with a p28 tuned ecu chipped and axles and shifter cables.
also ordered some PLM toda headers for b series
picked up a Carbon Kevlar victor x mani ported to 70mm and mishimoto fan along with a skunk2 cam seal from a friend
also picked up a brand new chasebays tucked radiator for $300 from local guy as well. he nerver used it was taking space.
along the way i got a little carried away and picked up a oem carbon fiber Hood and carbon fiber fenders as well… lol i know… what can i say???
it was a good deal lol… hood $300 and fenders 390 shipped.
so far this is all i have for now… i got more parts coming and more work to do so ill keep the thread updated as i go… taking a break this week. lol im tired! this integra kicking my BUTT lol… getting too old for this…
and two why don’t you just use under coating for the fenders?
