Hey guys!

I've been here for a little while now and have learned heaps from everyone! I haven't introduced myself though.

Name's Andrew and I'm on my third Honda. 20 this year. Here are my ex's:

First: EG Civic (GL):

14195
Loved my EG. 100% stock except for Delsol seats, changed the door trims + dash colour from grey to black (using VHT Vinyl spray), red door inserts, projector head lights and 2" cat back exhaust (3.5" exhaust tip)
14194
Not a great pic but shows the seats, doors, and dash changes. Giant asian rear view mirror FTW lol

Second: DC2 VTi-R

14196
Completely stock when I bought her. Only modifications were SRI (K&N) and I changed the rims (can't find a pic atm :S). Sold it to another Ozhonda Forumer (not sure who because the person contacted me via phone).

Current car: DC4 Integra GSi

I don't have a pic of it atm but body wise it's in pretty beat up condition exterior and interior wise. Bought it from a country boy - Pretty good car so far. TBH I think it's a better daily then the VTi-R as I don't have to rev it's brains out to make it go fast. In the VTi-R's defence, revving the GSi's brains out won't make it go fast LOL

I never really rev my car's so I don't know why I got a VTi-R - Still, saying I have a VTi-R is so much cooler than saying I have a GSi =(

Anyway I'll post pics up of the GSi as I work on it. ATM, engine wise it's beautiful (120,000km), but body wise it's pretty banged up and the interior is pretty faded. I've had it for a week now and got it DIRT cheap. Haven't started on it though.

The car as it sits now (pics soon):

Cosmetic:
Bit of damage on the front bumper, passenger guard, and parking damage on rear bumper. There's a few little dents here and there as well.

Interior is sun damaged, door trims are nasty, recaro replica front seats. Interior is pretty dirty.

Other:

Engine is completely stock. Was told it has an Exedy heavy duty clutch however I can't tell (feels pretty stock to me). No brand exhaust, monroe shocks and King springs. ROH 17" rims.

Plan's:

Clean up the interior - Change the door trims, change the front seats. Give everything a good clean.

Change the audio system.

Change the wheels. The current 17's scrub at full lock (due to a thicker tire). Could change the tire however I prefer 16's.

Change the exhaust - Currently has some no brand cannon.

Finally - Clean up the exterior and make it nice and neat again.

Engine - Going to leave it stock. I just want it nice and neat =]

I'll post up updates as I go along! I'm starting to work on it on Tuesday.
