1990 Acura Integra GS
5-speed Transmission
Stock B18A1 45,*** original miles (lucky find)
Pretty stock ATM but I have a lot of plans that will come slowly…
Here she is first day I got it (traded a 93 civic si hatch with mild built d16z6) kept my 5zigen fno1’s
Completely stock engine wise, only “mods” I have found are ebay coil sleeves over stock struts on the front and neuspeed lowering springs over stock struts in the rear…ebay short throw shifter… and someone put 92-93 taillights in, i like 90-91 clear and red much more ill have to find a set…
Previous owner resprayed red over the Rio Red and it needs a wetsand/buff in a bad way
motor burns about a quart of oil every month or so… isn’t leaking anything (left it setting for about a week with cardboard underneath and no leaks) but motor is very strong, it has a slight miss when first started after a while of sitting, replaced spark plugs and valve cover gasket because there was a leak around one of the spark plug seals but still missing, plan on getting plug wires or distributor
front driver side motor mount is completely torn rubber is almost completely out of the mount :tsp: but got one this morning and it will be replaced this weekend when i’m off work
After a wash and wax
So far I’ve only replaced driver side door handle with a junk yard one (got tired of rolling window down in pouring rain to open my door) and I also got the temp knob from the donor car because mine was missing
Before
After
Yay for working door handle
Picked up a NRG steering wheel and slim hub from Import Alliance (eg slim hub fits just can’t use horn button but once i get my quick release Ill be able to use it)
Just ordered some eg/dc front forks for my suspension (using eg/dc coil overs)
Next I plan on ordering rear camber kit and getting rid of the fish bowl look, probably looking about 15% tint
Also plan on going wing-less
Going to a local junk yard today to pick up some 90-91 tails and hopefully the dash bezel trim piece cause mine is broken. Found one online but would rather get it local. Also hoping the front fenders are in good shape. Mine are fine but I plan on cutting them for xsi side markers and would like to have extras in case I screw it up lol. Wish me luck.
Here is the trim piece in mine
Picked up taillights and dash trim bezel piece all for $30. Only paid 10 for the dash piece. Cheapest I could find online was $70 and it was cracked. This one is perfect!
Replaced my driver side mount today. It was worse than I thought lol. Also had to order the passenger side mount that bolts above the transmission because I noticed it was torn too.
This is the old mount
Also does anyone know what this is sticking out of my firewall? Looks like a vacuum hose is supposed to be on it
Coolant temp sensor for the fans, reason why its unpluged you asked? Its bcuz once its plugged in the fans will prolly run constantly even when the cars off bcuz one of the relays are stuck on. Let us kno is it the plug or the prongs on the sensor broke? The lil tube stickin outa tha firewall, that runs a vacuum line down to ur charcoal canister
If the fan runs when the car is off for more then 15 minutes check out the rad fan control module. Nice miles but it’s kind of weird to loose that much oil with such a low mileage motor. Nice platform to start with for sure
but once i get my quick release Ill be able to use it)
