so this is my running log... check the last page for the latest updates

Long story short i like to rebuild my car a lot and end up taking it apart a lot due to me breaking parts if its something i havent replaced myself already.... in the end though i love my teg and always end up rebuilding it... i like to look at my integra as a learning experience that has always taught me a lot and pushed me to think in new ways.

it all started in September of 06
this was my first car, which i ended up buying because i loved the meshies on it and because of a few mods the car already had.. later id regret not buying a stock car, but ive stuck with it and ended up building a car that im happy with

heres the first picture i took of it:

bought the car with no shift knob, ripped boot, and awesome APC tails and muffler!!

currently car is in shop getting transmission work done, when leaking head gasket was realized by my mechanic

on a side note to that, my mechanic used to race an integra and is being awesome and giving me tons of parts from his old teg (racing clutch and ported and polished head) for free

will take new pics when everything is finally installed

 

[rodsta359]

Nice, free parts. Justs keep in mind that if your car needs work done on it, do it before buying parts. Priorities, man.

 

[LightningTeg]

I think his goal is to have the parts installed while the rest of the work is at the shop...Just not getting why you picked a 4-1 header for an LS. When its all done give it a wash and take some pics.

 

[89stoner]

i bought a 4-1 because it was before i knew much about header design

and i got it for a good price

and i bought all the parts before i realized there was more problems

 

[89stoner]

well time for an update,
should be getting my car back from my mechanic tomorrow so i will take pics of all my new installed goodies

for now here's a pic of my newest addition to the parts to be put on the car pile:

Whats so bad about a 4-1 header ? Espically when its for 30 bucks !

 

[89stoner]

nothing bad about it, its just more practical to have a 4-2-1 because of slightly better ground clearance as well as a more usable power band i believe, but don't quote me on that its just a thought

 

[LightningTeg]

Clean tails =). Makes me sad to see them not on my car but happy that there not getting junked. Cars gonna be nice when you get it back. Its been like what, 3 weeks?

 

[89stoner]

alright so its been almost a month now, but i finally got my car back

had to go to work so i didn't get to talk in detail with my mechanic about what has been done but the list includes
-header installed
-greddy evo 2 installed
-racing head (ported polished bigger valves etc.) from his old race teg was put on my car
-possibly race clutch from his race teg (not sure)

will talk in depth tomorrow to figure out exactly what i have now

but it is much louder now and very fun!!

new pics will be up tomorrow after i get a chance to clean the car

 

[96teggy088]

Sickkk !! Yeah def post up some pics mike.

Did you get the evo 2 catback or axle back ?

 

[LightningTeg]

I sold him my entire catback...

 

[shore96teg]

[89stoner]

nice mike....so when am i gonna get those altezzas for my project?

the altezzas are off the car now just chillin in my basement
whenever the next meet is i'll try to bring them if you want get them at a meet


but my project is now to slowed a grinding halt because i got 4 tickets tonight
one for the exhaust too so my parents might make me take it off, hell i might not even have my car in a few hours when i finally get up enough nerve to tell my parents

and pics will be up as soon as my camera's batteries recharge

 

[89stoner]

and now the new pics!

 

[89stoner]

next project is valve cover painting and amber corner lights hopefully

and the lowering may happen when i can afford shocks

 

[odus69]

[89stoner]

lol sweet but aren't those tickets bothering u

yeah i'm trying not to thnk about it
my mom is being pretty cool and is getting me a lawyer, but my dad still hasn't been told

i won't be driving the teg much for some time due to the tickets, but i can still keep her extra clean and hope for the best

 

[ishbog]

clean that engine yo!

 

[89stoner]

clean that engine yo!

i need to do that bad, but i'm scared to just shoot water at the engine bay

i think im going to get some of that degreaser stuff you spray on, i think i have to cover up the air filter and dizzy right?
