Pictures up!
Hello all,
I have scattered a few posts on here, thought I would take the time to upload some decent photos of what I have done. I love seeing everyones builds… so hopefully you enjoy looking through these.
You all have helped me a ton through my swap! Can’t thank you enough.
To start, a photo of the car after I bought it. 1900$ later and I was cruising in style.

Skunk 2 pro c coilovers gave me a tremendous drop, I ended up raising it back up, twice!

First real issue i dealt with was water in the trunk… since i have no sunroof i tracked it to the tail lights. So new gaskets went in, and did some cleaning underneath.

When I bought the car, the rear bumper had been cut around the exhaust, all the way to the mud flap. So i sourced a clean bumper from pick n pull, and painted the trim to match

After finding oil in my coolant, I started looking for a new engine.

I found a b17 complete swap on facebook. To be totally honest I did not know that much about integras even at this point. My friend convinced me to buy the motor, completely taking the guys word that it was solid. Turned out to be a great dude, drove it out to me and everything. I instantly fell in love with the motor. Can’t tell you how many times I went down in to my shop and just stared at it. Then I got to cleaning…

A DC ceramic header, competition clutch and flywheel, and a few other “goodies” go on

Thanks for looking!
After swapping the engine, Colin helped me a LOT. Want to give a shout out here… you made it all possible! Got it smogged after teh second try (california of course)
On a side note, I love my arm rest. My girlfriend re-covered it in black vinyl with new padding. And I drilled out the broken cup holders so they are totally functional now.! Also I found these seats at pick n pull, a rare find since they are usually thrashed at the junk yard.

Another thanks to G2TEG2 for the VIS hood! I found it on craigslist and show up to see the baddest DA I have ever laid eyes on. Seriously so clean and an awesome experience.

Here is where im at now. Pretty functional ride height (I live on a dirt road.) Spent a lot of time waxing and polishing to get it to this point.

And of course one showing the new G2IC sticker. So far I dig it :rockon:
