Gonna have to change my avatar...

[K9_Eclipse]

So as the title says, gonna have to change my avatar. Sold my DSM yesterday, got a pretty penny for her too :devil:. Now im gonna start over with a new ride,..

Gonna go look at an Integra tomorrow,.. 2000, dont know if its a GS-R or a GS, my landlord buys and sells cars like crazy,.. he buys 'em at auctions from estate sells and crap like that, but he's gonna throw me a good deal on it,.. like 4k or less 120k miles, .. gonna have to see it though, so any JDM'ers out there with any advice? Been Googl'n like crazy about B18's & B16's jus lookin for some peeps that have some wrench time under the hood of a few hondas to let me know if its worth gettin it if it's jus an GS/LS.

[240sxDann]

any 2000 integra for under 4k is worth it. Even if its an ls, the options are endless. For the normal price of a car like that, you could have your car, and do an ls-vtec or a gsr swap or anything really.

[james_ls]

Damn it IS true.

I must've seen you DRIVING it to the sale...**** dude.

Hrrm, I'm a Honda head at heart...lemme know what you wanna do...we could tear out something CRAZY!

[pearl]

ls is great, ls turbos can push nearly 300whp :)

[PoorMan'sR]

i had ls/vtec, made same power as a type r with just that swap, buy it, vtec it, turbo it, blow it up and to it all over again:mrgreen:

[Gorilla Unit 33]

ah i miss my integra. if you need any parts lemme know i got a stack of GSR and b16 parts in the f/s section

[K9_Eclipse]

yea so the LS i went to see was...... automatic.. grrr.. so im still lookin,.. have a week off of work startin today and money burnin a hole in my pocket to buy a ride with... been on craigslist like crazy..

[JKrome]

ill move this one for you...

[SovXietday]

Put on some nasty wheels, slam it, paint it, Kseries. Goodnight.

Either way, start with suspension and wheels. Take the extra time to look into what you want to do as far as performance goes and choose carefully.

[JayFine]

NO!!! I never got to see it. What happened to boosting it?

I am teh sad. :cry:

[Renegade_]

Get a brake upgrade, some nice tires, and see if you can get together an LS/V turbo or a turbo GSR... I've driven a turbo B18C before and goddamn that thing was straight up savage power, but it was surprisingly controllable.

yea 9.5k cash happened,.. figured was a good time to start a new ride,.. ****ty part (give or take) is the kid works on the base out here so I still see it,.. lol

been lookin into the H22 Prelude as well,.. just want to make a informed decision about a JDM,.. too many dam engine codes... lol feels like a bad algebra test or the winning spots for a wicked game of battleship! = B16a, B18C1, B18C, H22a

[ketchup!]

well the number next to the letters is how many liters the engine has :)

[87fierogt]

get an older body style teg dc? is it? not the one with the 4 head lights the other style and do a k-series dump it on some 15s End of story :)

[teh DIRT]

my friend has a 96 coupe with a b16 swap, custom turbo kit pushing 5psi. Put down 217whp....pretty impressive if you ask me.

5psi, what's the point?

Coming from experience. Honda's and boost go along very well with each other, but at the same time you have to address every aspect of the car all at the same time. So if you're going to do it, you're going to need to research it a lot.

[teh DIRT]

the point is to have a decently quick car without having to address everything that goes along with wanted 15psi. Not everyone wants 12's.

UPDATE...

Just bought a 98 Prelude SH, .. all stock so a good base to start/build from, .. going to build/re enforce the suspension/brakes first, then start with engine work, dont quite know where im headed yet with the engine thats why im going to wait a bit for it.

Lookin into gettin the wings west lip kit to add some dimension to the car. I saw white tail lights on a 99 and it is beyond me where to buy em from, so it looks like ill get a pair of OEM tails and DIY to take out the red/orange color...

The "orange" color is mostly the bulb. You'd have to replace it with a clear looking one, but of course that will no longer pass inspection. You may have a small orange relfector in there too, but that's easy to take out. Just need to pop the taillight off, bake it, pull it apart, and pop it out.

Have fun with it, they're indeed good cars. I'd suggest not boosting it however, they're a PITA as far as that goes.

well as far as inspection goes, i dont have to inspect it.. out of state Veteran plates.. i dont even bother registering my cars in PA, one of the good things about being in the military nowadays.

And

are you serious?.. i figured it would take a heat gun and like 1-2 hours of slowly prying it apart...

baking is the easiest and quickest way to go when taking apart head or taillights


personally i would of gone wit the teg and swapped the trans instead of a lude. those things are so heavy and tiny inside
