The car was a fairly standard example when i got it with just an apexi n1 cat back and everything else standard,paintwork was a disaster car was painted before i got it with whichs seemed to be two pack paint ,and was painted very badly

myself and my mechanic steve murphy both decided it needed a respray and i wanted to go the whole hog and have an immaculate sprayjob so it had to be stripped back to its birtday suit and was origanally going to get it resprayed bayside blue ,but decided that y56 yellow would be a better idea as i always wanted a py integra but due to there rarity and price couldnt afford one

car was now fully spayed and undersealed so now for the fun bit putting it back together ,engine was smokey in vtec so was going to get steve to rebuild it,but ive had problems with b series before and so steve jokingly said i should k20 the teg ,as he had previously owned a k20 eg6,so after very little deliberation i bit the bullit and traded my b18c and cash for a 05 k20a2 with 29 k miles and got onto icetronix in dublin for a full conversion kit ,so i was building a py k20 dc2 ,couldnt wait to get cracking


heres a couple pics just after it was finished

after the conversion it was time to get the ecu tuned , had bought a hondata kpro ,and after having big problems with map with previous tuner i was told by a mate about a lad he knew who was very praticular and thorough and also a all round nice guy ,the guys name was aonghus (vtec6000) on here and after meeting aonghus he was more than happy to map the teg for me ,and here are the results of his work ,very impressive car pulls like a train through the gears
