i like amber…if i can find some euro’esqe clears i’d run them…but overall amber > clear
I think the ones you have on there now look better than amber would.

Are those corner lights the Depo brand or something like that? The ones that look identical to the OEM ones but all clear?
Affirmative.
Yeah I lucked out on mine to in a few ways, the interior was mint on mine, I bought the car for a grand cause the body needed a bit of work, the rear quarters of course but also the trunk was leaking because the antenna rusted around its mount. That and what I didn’t know was the guy put some seriously thick oil in so it wouldn’t smoke when I started it. Couldn’t drive it cause it wasn’t plated anymore, but I talked him down from $1500, and I get B20b’s for $400 with 90/day and do all the work myself. Also sorta lucky was all the guys at work bugged me about looking at a 4dr to replace my dying old hatch. Between making the appointment and going to actually buy the car, that’s when my wife found out I was gonna be a daddy. Though we all know that even with 4dr’s all joking aside, not much of a family car so now I have a Volvo 850 GLT wagon for hauling the wife and kid around.
But all that luck aside, right after I did a bunch of body work, I was rear ended, so it was all done again, (better for the most part so some luck there) but I also changed a few things on the interior anyway so that didn’t matter really but all the issues you have with yours, are all parts you can un-bolt, remove and replace. I have no problem cutting and welding, but a rusted body, is gonna rust quickly again. A clean shell to start with, I’m the kinda guy who all I want is the shell so I can put my own motor/interior/wheels etc into anyway. To you, 2g’s for a 2g might be too much. To me, if I was to start again, I’d wait till I had 3 grand, use as little as I can to fly down, and the rest to buy a car saving just enough for duty and fuel etc to get it back up here.
Yeah I see your situation. I hate body work so I pay to have it done now. I’m not skilled at it anyway. I only paid 1k for the db1. I’m not planning to do anything with it except clean it up and daily it while working on my da. It needs a new interior but I’ll probably just convert it to black anyway.
looks good but your caster is off on the front wheel pretty bad
What causes that and how do I fix it? My wheel is exactly like that and it drives me nuts.
i fixed mine by adding traction bars, but if u look under the car on the front cross member there are the rods that run back to the front lower control arms. on an alignment machine they say there is no adjustment there for caster but u can adjust it with the nuts that are on there…traction bars make it easier tho cuz once u unlock the nuts u can adjust ur caster by hand
Snapped a couple pix
lol the roof of my car made it onto a Japanese Magazine. LOL
I’ve tried to do that exact same thing before and I could not get the wheel to move or even turn the nut. Even had the car of the ground. Id been side swipped no that side b4 and thought something was bent, tho I cant tell what.
Okay fellas. I’ll play along. I’m brand new here, and brand new to the Honda/Integra scene. Always like the 2nd gen Tegs. I’m picking this one up, in a couple weeks. My son (who lives in Wyoming with his mother) blew the trans up, in this one. Gonna see what I can do to make it live, again.
You’re gonna need to get those nuts loose in the front of the radius rods where they go through the front cross member. Either the bushings there are toast and the rod has pulled back into them and/or the lower control arm’s bent.

Nice start to the scene. Auto or standard? Either way the trans and clutch, or t-con are fairly cheap used and not as easy as a Civic to swap but still not very hard either.
