Honda Roots

Been a lurker here for G2 info and pics since early 2000s. I decided to register after I picked up my first DA9. I’ve been into Hondas but started driving BMWs recently. BMWs are fun cars, I still believe they share the same DNA as Hondas; not focusing on HP but achieving to be a true driver’s car. Now I decided it’s time to go back to my roots. I’m usually into civics (EF, EG, & EKs specifically) but there’s something special about the G2 Integra that I started looking for one. Luckily, a friend of mine decided to sell his 1992 LS resto-project. I checked it out and took it home. It wasn’t a perfect car but it was a good start. I did all maintenance that is needed for a 20+ year old car (timing belt, suspension, fuel system, etc). I also visited junkyards to find missing interior pieces. Luckily most of the missing pieces i needed were black rubber and plastic parts. I installed some other parts I had laying around intended for a civic chassis (momo, wheels, etc)
I can say that I am happy I finally got a G2 integra. I love the simplicity of its design, from interior to exterior. My future goals for the car; I want to keep it simple-complicated. My inspirations for my build are Jason Haradon and EliDA9. And when she’s ready, I plan to daily it and occasionally take it out on Sunday track events. I want to enjoy driving it everyday and finally garage my BMW. Its the sad truth but our cars are still targets for low life scumbags, and I am aware of how Houston is notorious for Honda/Acura theft. That is why she’s always garaged at home and at work. If anyone decides to follow me home, they will be chewing led for an appetizer. Well, Enough chatter and on to the pics.

When I picked it up.

How she is now, the never ending project begins…

I know exactly how you feel about the thefts man, being in Colorado hondas and acuras are HUGE targets. Its always nice to see someone come back to the DAs. Once you drive one theres nothing else like it.

Yup. I was actually hesitant posting pics…some lurker might recognize my neighborhood. lol the joys of owning a Honda/ Acura…always paranoid. LOL

Hey hey!
I’m in Houston too. You can find my ‘build’ over in the track section here. It’s not a great one, but it’s a build. If you look at my join date, you’ll see that I came back after a long hiatus.
Welcome!

Cool! Saw your wtb thread coz of th HTX tag lol. I’m gonna check your build out.do we have local honda track events? Msr? Im in bmwcca and I see/ know a couple honda guys who autocross once a month.

I’d like to know as well. I currently run with Porsche Club, and am a member of NASA, but I would like to go racing with similar cars. I usually run at TWS and have made it as far as Hallet, but that was with my mustang or a miata.

Welcome! Congrats on getting a DA. I appreciate the story and it sounds like you have a good approach to modifying cars. DA’s are querky/weird cars but there is definitely something special about them.

welcome bro looks like a great platform to start with. And yeah man i feel like honda owners are paranoid beyond belief cause of these damn thieves, my window is right by my car with alarm always set.

thanks guys, been itching to drive it. since all this rain slamming Houston, we havent seen cruise weather in days.
