Jake's I guess this is a "Build" thread


This is what it looked like when i got it bad to my house, its an automatic 1990 Integra Gs with every option but power locks :mad:


Paint wasnt too bad on the sides.


A yankee magnet had been left on for like 5 years and melted on:mad:


This hood had almost no paint left on it, 90s honda paint didnt have uv protection :mad:


Previous owner tried to glue on the carpet with what looked like wood glue :mad:


I had the typical integra passenger side leak i fixed later that first month, car also had a car phone :excite:


Typical integra seat rip, found some clean ls seats in a pull a part a year later!:excite:

206k when I bought it, im at 229k now after 2 years, I dont drive much


Took that nasty cloth off the speaker covers and painted to cover black

nice start

Rear bumper on the car had been hit several times so i bought a new one from pull a part!


Blew a coolant hose after a free way pull, luckily it waiting till i got home and turned off the car to blow :slight_smile:


This back side hose was the culprit.


Got new headlights from a magical fat man named santa!


Finally got a job so it was time to start throwing money at my car, ordered some wheels and some new rubber old ones were done, :burnout:


Fresh of the lift at discount :cool:


I fell in love with the way it looked now even more-so than before but i didnt like the wheel gap. :down:


Wayyyy too high :idea: maybe i should order some tein 3 inch drop springs :gotrice:

Cont’

Rolling shot on the way home from discount :cool:

Got some mudflaps from a pull a part, we pulls the springs out before the Ups guy even got there we sat on lawn chairs in the drive way reading honda tuning until he got there :rofl:

got the rear springs on with my blue ricer calipers, ep3 rear calipers and rotors coming and mini cooper rotors on the front with type r calipers :cool:

Rear end wheel gap :cool:

Right off the jack :excite: took it for a drive when we got done at 3am

The morning after I lowered it :slight_smile:

Steamy road picture about a month after lowering it its all settled.


New brakes :slight_smile:

looks good man keep it up. how do you like your suspension setup as far as ride quality? i cant figure out which ones to go for. i dont want to slam my car though, just lower it a decent amount to where its noticeable.

Cont’

Got some less than reputable front and rear camber kits and lower control arms from a less than reputable website that rhymes with egay, after being told by the “performance shop” in my area that they were something they weren’t. :mad:

Its a little bit lower now :cool:

Finally got tint that i desperatly needed

Blew another hose after i drove to the movies :confused:


Getting it onto that flat bed was a PITA, cross member took a chunk out of the concrete at the gas station and the drive of my house XD


This is the hose it blew :mad:


Taking out all the hoses and replacing em with all oem hoses from honda thanks to car quest!:up:


All my old hoes :wink: hahhaa jk they’re hoses


My radiator cracked right before i started on the cooling system so i ordered a mishimoto radiator and an external transmission cooler :smiley:

Jalen I smack fender wells with my control arms so I wouldnt go with that low of a drop but the tein s techs are nice as far as ride quality but honestly take it from me saving for coils would be well worth it.

Why’d you get a transmission cooler? And doesn’t the light output from those headlights piss you off?

Just installed my Hid’s and got pulled over thought it was cause my headlights and tag lights were blue, but nope $218 fine for my tag being 2 day out of day :mad:

Got my new intake and my megan racing strut bar for a non abs teg and fit it onto my teg with abs :excite: may do a write up on how I did this. Lemme know if you think I should!


Took a trip down to honda day orlando with one of my best friends, great weekend!


Got some ricer stickrs down at honda day, put em as close to my engine for the extra horse power XD


Got tired of having gs instead of integra on the back end so i took it off and cut the integra emblem down to teg, FOR THE WEIGHT REDUCTION! Just kidding guys :rofl:


got a 93 front end that had been wrecked from a car at pull a part i cut the grille out and started to do some body repair to fix the hole on the driver side turn signal, i did a few heated pushes and some plastic welding sanding and some bondo and filled in the license plate holes and got it ready for paint! :up:

Remember what i said about those less than reputable parts that a less than reputable shop sold me instead of real parts? :mad:

This is what happens when you take a corner at 30mph with fake parts :mad:

MY teg is autotragic at the moment so i have to have one the radiator from automatic tegs has a tranny cooler built in, and not really i didnt notice much of a difference between these and my nasty oem headlights! :up:

Why did you cut the grill from the front bumper, so far I am tuned in

Brent, I just like the way it looks without a grille and some silver chicken wire behind it, I have more to post on this build thread but im just waiting to do it tomorrow when im in class and have nothing better to do! :rofl:

Silver chicken wire Eh? Ok

I know it sounds ricer and like a dumb idea but just stick with me on this one haha :up: I like mesh grilles but I dont like the look of tight mesh and I want something to protect my ac fins from getting hit by a rock or a big bug or stupid stuff like that, that seems to make its way into my chicken wire grille I have. :rofl:

You definitely should do a write up on how to make those strut bar fit with abs units. BTW I like those wheels. What is the brand make or style are those. Looking good.

Once I get my teg up and running again ill do a write up on that strut bar installation, Thanks I spent the whole time I had the car and had yet to find a job looking for wheels! So like a solid year those were the only ones I liked my goal was to make my Da9 look like this Da6 They’re sport edition f2’s they are only temporary. I plan to do a a 5 lug conservation somewhere in the future and switch to some volks, I like the te37, but everyone has those so im leaning toward the Volk GTP’s!
I think I got close enough now that I have the basic look down its time for me to start making it my own and do a couple small power upgrades before I swap it, it has to be cheap or able to be used with my new b series im getting and thats when I did a coolant bypass (it bypasses the intake manifold) its a mod mostly done on preludes which I have yet to see done on a teg yet, looked up for a week trying to find how to do it all i could find was h series doing it. :cool: I rolled my teg into the garage for the weekend and went to work. took me a while but I figured it out. For $5 in rubber hose from orielly and a $5 peice of sheet metal the power gain was insane not to mention it runs better at idle and on cold starts the rpms stay alot lower than before!:up:

Got tired on my blue valve cover turned purple, so I decided to change it up :excite:


Hammer paint turned out great, it has held up perfectly fine for 6k miles :up:


Some friends and I took a trip to the Nc mountains to go drive! That trip was so much fun we plan on doing it again soon! :up:

These were my rotors after coming down the mountains I had driven 5 miles away from the mountain before I took this picture! Glowing brakes and tons of brake fade gets scary when theres a drop off on every corner! :rofl:


Decided to take a picture of my car in front of a helicopter i found :smiley:


This is right after I got my intake manifold bypass done, I drove it to the gas station with out a hood :gotrice: haha i needed gas and wanted to be sure everything ran fine, on the drive there i never went above 3k rpms and you could tell a difference, no not from loosing the hood. It just felt more alive in the lower revs. I got back home and put the hood on, then i went out for a real test i did a couple quick 0-60 pulls and the butt dyno said there was a big difference, if it helps to know my automatic teg couldnt keep up with manual tegs before I did this and after I did the bypass I could it was great! Im thinking of doing a write up on how i did this as this is normall done on h series engines. Ive searched everyone and as far as I can find im the only one with a bypassed teg! :cool: Let me know if i should do a write-up on this mod! :up:


Really blurry scratched camera quality but i was getting it all prepped for paint!

Cont’

Turned out great the bumper and the hood dont match the hood is a modified honda nighthawk pearl which looked great but i had my dad mix up some VW gti black with silver pearl for the bumper to help me decide. The gti black is a gorgeous color and thats what i have chosen to paint the rest of the car with :up:

The tegs litle brother decided to park next to her at the UNCC car meet one night i thought thismade for a cool picture

I just bought a rear lip and accord rear bumper sidemarkers, i going to get the lip on hopefully in the next week and im going to attempt to fit the side markers on the rear bumper i have on now as it is the bumper i dont care about. Ill keep you guys posted but it seems like the side markers could be a project making sure i dont cut too much to quick! I also have to fit a bigger fan on my radiator 10 inch fan on a mishimoto triple core half radiator from a civic doesnt work to well in the summer here in NC :rofl:

Went to pull a part yesterday and got some plugs to do rear wiper delete! :up: and I also grabbed some rear bumper turn signals and rear lip off an Accord im gonna try and fit em on the rear bumper I have on the teg right now because I dont care about that bumper so if I dont like the look its ok. Its just a test to see if I like it! Ill post the results when I get it done :smiley:

This is the oem Integra fan which is 8 inch that I had on the half Mishimoto radiator. It worked in the winter but now that its starting to warm up in NC I had to swap it.

Shiny parts dont let me take good pictures cause the sun was reflecting off the aluminum! :rofl: but this is my brand new fan off an accord its a 12 inch fan with a 13 inch shroud it fits it perfectly! This should kep my car running cool in the summer months now that every row is covered by the shroud! :up:

I had a problem of my battery arching across the hood and shutting the car off :rofl: so I had to put a cover over it to stop that!

Got rid of my power sterring because I can!

And the reservoir and the cooling lines for the p/s fluid too! :up:

Had a busted lens on my passenger side turn signal so I grabbed one of those! :up:

The center of my steering wheel had been busted when I first got it and it liked to flop around, it also said acura i found a clean Integra center so I grabbed that too!

Cont’

This is what I meant by having a silver chicken wire grille after cutting out all the fins i really liked the way this turned out! :up:

Hard to get a decent picture with the morning sun

This is the most recent picture I have of my car, took it this morning! Gonna start working on a few write ups soon for Manifold Bypasses and Strut Bar install for abs tegs! :up:
