Hey my name is Aaron. I've had my Integra Sedan GSR for a good 4 years (30,000miles). Purchased at 156,000miles for 3 grand. My current philosophy is don't replace if it doesn't really need replacing......unless I run into a really good deal.:smile: I had a previous DB8 before but was in an accident in 2006.
Here's a picture of that! Enjoy!
It was a bad hit... No one was injured.
I had integra fever so I had to move on to this.
100% Original stock Integra with absolutely nothing replaced on it.
Check out that ride height! I know you are all jealous of something other than my ride height..
Soon after that ↑. I had to go and ruin it with my so called "mods"
First car part that was slippery as a snow slope was the clutch..
So I went for something more engaging in every day life.
An ACT 6 puck clutch with a Fidanza flywheel. Shown here ↓ !
This was my first go around with this type of clutch setup. Once I became more in tune with driving with the clutch it was all fun from there.
Then there was an oil leak at the cam seal. I saw a good deal on a wrinkle red valve cover, so I went for it. Plus, I decided to replace all the other engine gaskets while I was at it.
After some time I ran into an old friend that had an LS coupe with a great suspension setup. He wanted to change things up to a Toyota MR2. Long story short we swapped suspensions!!
-MINUS- the breaks.
This included:
- Tein SS coilovers
-ARP Extended studs
-Some Energy Poly-Bushings
-98 spec Type R Front + Rear Anti-Sway Bars
- Front and Rear camber kit
-Function 7 LCA's
-Type R Front and Rear Strut tower braces
Here she is finally lowered!:zmocop:
I did buy some an extra piece while the suspension was off..the ASR subframe brace.
This happened on the way to an x-mas family party...
Apparently, rust got the best of my OEM axle. When it happened it sounded like all hell broke loose under my car.
The car was very controllable when it happened I just couldn't gas the car to move anywhere.
Brakes were next...
-95 Legend GS Calipers & Rotors+ INLINE FOUR SS Brake Lines
I Don't have those rims any more. I received way to many neck break displays. Tooo much attention.
Here is the difference from the GSR rotor/caliper and the Legend GS rotor/caliper.
I am going to fast forward to now because I am posting late and getting tired.
Here is my car as it sits now!
I recently picked up a used Seibon carbon trunk & VIS carbon trunk from a very nice gentlemen in Hatfield Pa. I have to admit an hour drive with no hood was sketchy.
SO both pieces have oxidation on them I plan to refurbish them my self.
1. Wet sanding them down with the proper grit papers.
2. Clear Coating
3. Success.
My question that I would have for anyone out there would be --"WHAT CLEAR COAT TO GO WITH?"
I am aware of the "Dupli-Color Clear acrylic lacquer". I am worried about getting the same oxidation over time. So I have found a UV-Resistant clear which is "Krylon UV-resistant Clear"
Any HELP would be appreciated! Thank You!
ORRRRR should I just not worry about all that and do what this lancer did with his Exhaust "TIPS"
I apologize for the blurry back round in the picture. the Lancer was going light-speed due to all the whp the exhaust tips were throwing down to the pavement.
