Ben. Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Haven't really done much yet. Just gonna' get this thread set up and see how far it goes.. Didn't keep track of the WS6 build because it wasn't Honda oriented. Figured you guys may like this. Before. After. Things I've done thus far -- Purchased OEM 1998 Acura Integra USDM front end/ITR lip. Purchased black housing 1998 Acura Integra headlights. Purchased OEM 1998 Taillights. Installed OEM Fat Fives to replace those garbage ass 18's. Amber corners for the '97 front. Removal of axleback. AEM V1 CAI. More to come soon ladies and gents.

airjordan223 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 so what are the plans? get rid of the exhaust, drop it, and build the motor or boost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Eh. Ideally I want the following -- Boosted setup, not sure if I'll build...we'll boost first, see what kind of numbers it makes. Then ride till it pops. By which point I should have a spare block to build. Bodywise .. I'll get the damage straightened out..I'd ideally like a JDM front but being as some of the cheapest I'm finding are 1,650 bucks prior to shipping..and that's with fenders that are all beat up and hoods that are beat in..not even including about four or five hundred dollars worth of shipping..it's a little out of reach. At least for now. Color change is inevitable. I wanna' go unique.. Maybe Bayside Blue Pearl..like a Skyline, or Blue By You which is an EVO color. Not sure yet, but it will be changed. Rims will change, obviously. I have my eyes set on a set of gunmetal Volk TE37's a guy is willing to sell me for relatively cheap so we'll see how that works out. Suspension is gonna' change too .. KYB AGX setup or something along those lines, with Neuspeed drag springs at all corners. And yes guys..exhaust WILL change too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Got some pictures of the engine bay. Picked up a cheap ass AEM V1 CAI for like 40 bucks. Couldn't pass it up. Also might be in the midst of trading off my LS tranny and some cash for a mint '00 b16 tranny and exedy clutch. We'll see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Due to garbage ass ram air from who knows where literally falling apart on my car..I was forced to put the V1 on ahead of schedule.. Got some amber corners for the '97 bumper to tide me over till I get the '98 front painted and headlights in. Pictures of engine bay/ambers coming after I get new shots. 'Twas dark outside when I finished and am LITERALLY just getting in @ 7:44pm EST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS John Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 You should buy the Skunk2 full coilovers from that dude selling them in the classifieds. Brand new for 225 is a good deal. Nobody's vouched for him yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yea but.. I've got a perfectly good set of adjustable KYB's IN TOWN that I KNOW are some stiff ass shocks. The drag springs are a plus, I'm gonna' hold off on suspension until I can get a little money up. Besides, like you said..no one has vouched for dude yet. Engine bay shots prior to the AEM V1 .. forgive quality..they were taken with my phone. I'll get better one's when I find the USB cable to my digicam. May have to go out and buy one. Amber corners went on. Fitment is a little..eh. After the V1.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Nice. How's it run and sound? Color blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Intake whistles like a motherfracker. Car is black, CAI is like a powder blue or something. Valve cover is absofrackinglutely horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Blue's a good combo on the black car man. Was the intake powder coated or original blue? Looks powder coated from pics. What's up with the valve cover? Paint peeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
