Is this all a homejob?

[integraJDM]

fitment of JDM front and respray is at my local panel beater

[charliebrown]

hahah is it DT panels? everyone in SE seems to go there

[integraJDM]

nah not DT panels, i cant afford it there lol. Its on the same road though

[charliebrown]

mm really i heard DT panels had good prices for their quality of work

[integraJDM]

i think they quoted my friend 2.5k for full respray not including labour.. so yeah

[SuperJDM.]

mm really i heard DT panels had good prices for their quality of work

lol i like how you assumed straight away that DT panels prices aren't good as soon as he said "i cant afford it there"

anyways keep the pictures coming mate

Just installed my ITR cluster too. Had a problem with the petrol meter, but with some small thinking i made it working.
Found out that it's not a straight swap, i had to change the base (white) around and some SRS/seatbelt indicator on the black frame around.
Plugged it in a voila! Petrol indicator worked :)

[SuperJDM.]

oh hell yeah! new rims now please!

would of looked better if you didnt spray those two black things on the side white.

[integraJDM]

meep meep

[Rado]

Wow nicely done mate! Love the new look!

[integraJDM]

cheers guys!

Installed full ITR exhaust (AUDM) over the weekend, it is a straight bolt on (alignment wise) for anyone who's concerned.

Had a little problem with the bolts where the extractor and the header meet, the GSI header has 3 screws welded on it, where you have to just use a nut to tighten it up with the extractor, where as the ITR header only has 1 screw welded on and the other 2 are separate screws and nut.

Had to source out screws from 2 different locations which was a bitch but it was worth it. Noticeable gain for all gears. Especially from gear 1-3~ (i tried 0-120) couldn't believe how much gain i had from OEM ITR exhaust system. Pretty bang for buck for a GSI i gotta admit and if you want the "OEM look"

[Frosty-Civic]

oh hot damn this is my jam

[integraJDM]

Received my s2k style antenna today and installed! working perfectly :)

[Giraffe]

nice ! update with some pics

[krezii]

love it

[EP3TYPER]

.oh hot damn this is my jam

agreed

[davidvtec]

Can i ask, was that a plug and play? or did you have to purchase the whole s2k antenna and wiring?
Was your car originally running the metal antenna stick that goes up and down?

[integraJDM]

Bought the s2k style antenna from here http://www.locustom.com/shark2_kit.htm
$50 includes shipping: took about 3weeks to get to melbourne.
yeah i had the original metal antenna thingy. pretty easy to take off, plug and play as well.
If you really want the antenna to have the best reception you have to splice one wire from the antenna to the antenna booster.
But i didn't do that and it seems to work just fine (i dont use the radio at all)

[integraJDM]

friend took a couple of pics in the city:

[charliebrown]

[MWAKU]

[tripleuse]

[RSKEbaby]

[integraJDM]

I'd like to dump it more but since i installed the Type R Exhaust - it scrapes literally everything :(

Haha ditto.

[charliebrown]

16s at most imo... not to mention the shit ass ride you get with the 40 profile tyres on 17s

[khmerzx]

part out the rims :)

[unl3a5h]

wheres the s2k style antenna on the recent pics? cant seem to see it

[integraJDM]

16s at most imo... not to mention the shit ass ride you get with the 40 profile tyres on 17s

the ride on 16s is already, not that great. So i can probably handle 17s


wheres the s2k style antenna on the recent pics? cant seem to see it

pic of the s2k style antenna is at OP

[marcoleeau]

[DOMN8U]

Very nice job mate. Personally I love the GSI, much underrated car if you ask me. And your JDM front is mint as. CW is great for JDM front, PY for AUDM IMO.

However I wouldn't recommend an engine swap, I'd just get an ITR GBox + I/H/E, will be much better to drive. And if you're going turbo I'd personally stick with the B18B2. You'll make loads of good power on any B-series or K-series engine, so you may as well stick to what you have. Not to mention it's cheaper if you break something.

Thanks man!

Yeah im having second thoughts about engine swap. It is pretty quick for what it is, i've had praises from my friends who has/owned dc2r's. Most people have low expectations on the B18B2, IMO it pulls pretty hard in comparison to dc2r's (because of the low end torque).

Might go with the ITR gearbox as im happy with the stock dc2r exhausts atm (might get better headers though as the stock dc2r ones are quite small in diameter). Still deciding if i should go all motor or FI. I haven't seen many FI B18B2 around the site, if anyone can link me or know any renowned places, would be greatly appreciated! (VIC)
