Hey guys and girls,
I have searched far and wide throughout these forums but haven't found a thing.
As most of you know, I drive a DC4 Integra GLi (Yes it is a GSi, but the decal seems to have faded to a point where it says GLi)
Unfortunately, I am failing epically at parking (I have caused scarring to the body, right between the driver's door and the rear wheel well, as well as amputating the rubbing strip from the same panel, I did this trying to get into my own garage). My poor parking skills are starting to make me nervous about taking the car out of the house.
So I've decided to buy a $500 NC Fairlane (on gas) and practice my parking in that (If I can park one of these, I can park anything), and I will mod the Integra like crazy (when funds permit - Coles casual wages don't pay much) and race it.
I am planning to put a K-series inside, and keep the car N/A, but we all know that the high output K20s (from the DC5R/DC5S) are rare. The solution: The K24 from an Accord Euro!
I would expect that a front cut from an Accord Euro would cost less than a front cut from a DC5R/S, as the Euro is just a regular family car.
To make a long story short, how much (on average) would a manual front cut from an Accord Euro cost? I can't really find any info on the net about it. I would expect that labour costs would be similar for other engines.
My other question is, how should I remove the GSi sticker from the back of the car, as I said before, it's sort of faded. Do I just use a hair dryer to try to get it off, or is there a better solution?
Apologies for my rambling, I'm half asleep (I can't sleep tonight).
Thank you for attempting to read
