I picked up this 2000 Integra GS a couple months back with intentions of daily driving it seeing as I commute a good distance to work and I enjoy keeping miles off my other vehicles. It also feels great to be wrenching on a Honda again.
My wife’s accord makes this thing look even smaller
The good it has a B16a swap already
the JDM front end conversion is already there despite needing work for the price and the fact Integras are scarce in my area I figured its a good base to start with.
The bad :
Broken taillaight and bumper filler is dented .
Broken driver door handle
Paint is crap especially engine bay color and the body has some flaws
Trans is junk absolutely like rocks in a jar lol
Lots of ebay crappy parts
Leaky radiator held in by zip ties
Etc…
I picked up an EM1 trans locally to replace the stock unit.
Also a Competition Clutch oem replacement clutch kit .
A buddy of mine yanked the drivetrain for me and I took the opportunity to paint the bay black
and my buddy helped clean up the wiring disaster from the previous owner and installed an OEM Oil pressure sensor to replace the aftermarket gauge it had.
An aluminum radiator was installed along with a new fan.
The exhaust it came with was huge and loud so I ordered a Vibrant performance muffler to replace it.
The car had no side skirts and was missing a lot of little parts i have had to source and paint.
we picked up a door handle and an oem cluster bezel to replace the broken items
The car came on 14 inch HX wheels and so I’m going to a 15 for winter and a 16 come spring.
The car has a long way to go but it drives great my father in law polished the headlights for me and I swapped the ebay coilovers it came on to some Tein springs for daily duty.
Much more to come thanks for reading.
I dig it
