Hi,

Since i'm doing a major overhaul on the whole car. might be a idea to create a project/build topic in the designated area on this forum.

A little history:

Bought the car in 2010 from feeesh^^ after driving an EG4 since 2006.
Reason for the integra: A) B18 is imho the nicest engine to drive.. B) the overall performance of the car C) The jdm front.,.

Joined this forum in 2012, New member topic here, Updated it a few times but except from driving the car, didn't update or change much on the car.

I already had an idea for a few bits and bobs, but my buddy Zero9 is doing some more things to his EK9 so this winter we will be busy swapping his engine, doing a few small adjustments to a buddies Time Attack EK and going in full overhaul mode on my car.

Current speclist:

'98 spec Integra Type-R DC2
B18C R spec with S80 gearbox
OEM 4-1 '98 exhaust manifold
JDM cat. no further exhaust
OEM intake with Blox velocity stack incl shortram pipe.
Mudflaps
Spoon Radiator cap
Spoon Oil Cap / 6TWO1 Oil cap. can't decide which looks better
Spoon Titanium shiftknob
Magnecor ignition cables
Password:jdm Cooling plate
Password:jdm vtec solonoid cover
Password:jdm cover socks
Energy suspension PU engine mount inserts
Password:jdm PU shifter bushings
D2 rear camber kit
D2 rear toe kit
UKDM 15" ITR wheels (gunmetal) / EDM 15" ITR wheels
KW v1 coilovers
OEM rear ITR strutbar

Previous nice parts:

16x7 Enkei NT03's
16x7 Bronze Volk Racing TE37's (Sold to Zero9)
Mugen Twinloop catback
Spoon N1 catback

Future:
(already acquired parts)

Suspension PU kit (rear LCA, front control arms)
17x8 Enkei Racing S (two piece wheels)
PW:JDM Oil pan baffle

The plan for this winter:

During the summer a buddy had the opportunity to move from a 1 car garage (where he built his track EK) to a shed where we should be able to fit 3 cars. So the winterhome for my integra was decided and while at it, why not change some things.
First plan was to see what we could do regarding the whole suspension thing. and during the last round of time attack i spoke to a long lost friend who is painting cars in his own shed next to his job with a damage repair shop/ paint shop. I already had this picture in my mind which color to go if i was going for a replaint. asked him what kind of money we would be talking about and made some kind of agreement, that i would drop the car in march/april.

So the plan is pretty simple. But its always more work when doing so..
Repaint the outside of the car RAL7012 (Basalt grey) incl the valve cover.
The enginebay will be black with a freshly painted engine as well. Also we will try to wiretuck the bay a bit and remove the A/C. Might also repaint the inside of the car but first i will stick by repainting the bits with rust and put the complete interior back in the car. Also replace all the suspension rubbers where possible with new PU rubbers and try to refurb the KW set for the car. With the help of friend try to fabricate a custom exhaust with simmons mufflers and cut my spare '96 rear bumper to create less drag. The last week i'm thinking of upgrading to a different intake manifold as well. my mind keeps screaming "Buy a Skunk2 Ultra series" but then again i would need a new throttlebody as well.

The future will be more trackdays and weekends to the nurburging so i still need to acuire a oil cooler kit and some ducts towards the brakes. hopefully she will be ready during the summer of 2015.

sounds promising Lau. be sure to keep this page up to date. Can't wait to see it finished already!
 
Hi all,

Made some progress with the car. Got her stripped except for the dash, windows and engine.
Already replaced all the bushing with an Energy Suspenion kit and thats ready to be fitted again.


Since Zero9 his car has been fixed and he is planning for trackdays this year. Next to that my other buddy also got a new EK.
I think i can't commit to the whole project this summer and think its best to put her to together on the outside and place my seats/seatbelts back in the car.

I have MOT in may and should be able to make that. the only downside is that i already sold my Spoon B-pipe so have to go for a custom exhaust right away.
After that, its off to the ring on the 6th of June and hopefully on a new set of 195/50/15 Toyo R1R's
