***Official What did you do to your Integra today***

Goodluck on the trip ahahah!

Btw 'did you at least take their faggot ball?' Was post #500 lol

mostly freeway driving lol

If I wasn't so sick I prob would have caused a fuss but yeah. If the marks don't come off I'll just take it up with the uni.

Thinking of buying some Koni Yellow shocks from a distributor on ebay. They're height and damper adjustable. Anyone had any experience with these? My springs aren't stock, slightly lower than stock will I have to purchase a new set anyway?

[charliebrown]

How much for da koni yellows brah?

[act_gooner]

Looking at these.

[charliebrown]

Did you ask the seller how much he wanted for shipping? That's pretty expensive already, i'd just go some second hand coilovers. There was a set of koni yellows in melb for $600 but was too much cos i could get coils for that much or a tiny bit more

Thinking of switching to coils soon and ditching my front mudflaps/lip. Not feelin the 2 finger gap up front lol got a bit of star gazer spec going on atm with the lower rear

[Super-DA9]

looks like they are only able to adjust stiffness, which is to be expected. my friend had those on his S15 and they were really good shocks. however your car will still sit at it's current height if you retain your current springs. my friend had his koni's paired with a set of whiteline springs and it handled nicely.

[Indie]

Drove it for the first time in, like, eight months.

Topped up radiator fluids and looked on ebay for a air polisher xD

[Oz_Striker]

Washed, clay bar, cut, polished, and waxed my car. I used all Autoglym products including the high definition wax and I was very impressed with it, the queen is on to a good thing! Haha. Took me from 10am till about 6pm tonight to do it all but it was worth it! Car looks sweet

[charliebrown]

^Hahah good shit lol i did same thing as you but it took me 10am-8pm and did NOT turn out any better. Was the polishing done by hand?

Yeah pretty much did not change a thing looks-wise before/after... it "felt" smoother and there was probably added protection to the paint from the wax adhered to the clean surface but just felt like i wasted my time cos i was expecting paint to look respray new lol i guess spending >$150 (and 10 hours) on it you'd expect a lot

edit: fuarkkk that's clean as man, really like ya car. anything planned for it?

by the way man, how did you avoid getting polish/wax on the black trim or anything dark coloured and badges, lights, cracks etc

[charliebrown]

Hey boys i need some opinions. Not sure if i should go coilovers and go lower. This car is daily driven, right now i'm having no troubles with the height on the roads i take. I wanna avoid having to roll guards and buying camber kits as well as staying legal height of course.

This is how it sits right now

Fair enough, to be honest it didn't make as much of a difference as i thought it would but it definately looks heaps cleaner and glossier. +1 for the smoothness and protecting the paint, glad i only have to do that every 6 months too haha

Yeh i'll be looking at a few different mods, first major one will most likely be coilovers. But i'm waiting till i move house as my current driveway has an awkward little drop in it and i'll scrape every time i park my car at home if i lower my car. It already goes close to hitting at stock height lol i've put on some oem window visors and a spoon shift knob but thats the extent of things atm. thinking of doing a 4 point rear strut bar and a 2 point front strut bar soon

I mainly tried to apply any wax/polish to the microfibre/foam applicator i was using instead of just pouring or spraying it straight onto the body work. I did get some small spots on the black trims and in between the doors. But i just made sure once i finished that i went over and wiped all of them away or buffed them out

Well your car is pretty new anyway so would have been shiny regardless.

Let us know how long the 'smooth wax feeling' stays on. Mine only lasted like 2-3 weeks in dry weather with good surface prep. If no prep and rainy weather, the coat disappears after about a week. Too lazy to reapply cos it takes frickin ages to wash > dry > dewax > wax.

When i got overpolish/overwax the next day i went over all the trim with meguiars trim detailer to blacken them up again to get rid of the white bits, and used a toothpick to get the dried wax out of the cracks (must have pushed them in when i buffed). You did yours pretty careful though so shouldn't have to do that shit

looks good for a daily, how much did u lower it?

[charliebrown]

looks good for a daily, how much did u lower it?

approx 1.5" front 2" rear. i wanna go 2.25" front and 3" rear but then im gonna have issues... and can't go that low unless i'm on coils otherwise cars gonna fkn bounce 2m into the air on bumps and shits gonna scrub all over.

[Indie]

Charlie, I think the fitment is spot on. I don't think it needs to be any lower at all, the wheels are sitting perfectly.

[CivicEGSI]

^ Amen. I think it looks sick as is... Get coilovers anyway for better performance?

[Super-DA9]

low or not, coilovers = best mod you can buy IMO.

makes an amazing difference to the way the car feels and behaves.

[charliebrown]

Hmm... i'm undecided about selling up and getting something else at the end of this year (cl9 or dc2/r). Maybe i'll get coilovers if the shocks blow. Haven't driven or been in a car with coils so i don't really know how it feels tbh. Some say it's too stiff for daily

[89lude]

imo coilovers + tyres is the best mod to any car. safety first!

[act_gooner]

Remove lip and go lower maybe? Looks good though.

[Peachy]

Wasn't done today, but I recently had a major service done on my car, tis running exactly how it should apart from a few problems that were found on the way. Problems were:

- r00ted passenger drive shaft
- custom rice muffler knocking and generally being/looking/sounding gay
- busted front and rear engine mounts
- brake pads on their way out
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbdwn:

Time to fix up all the problems :cool:

To fix the muffler problem I sourced a 2nd hand HKS HiSilent catback exhaust. Had it installed by Muffler Bro's in Footscary and TA DA, no more gay raspy exhaust!! Bigger piping means my engine breathes that iddy bitty bit better ;)
Also ordered a replacement passenger drive shaft along with:
- New Hardrace engine mount kit (all four mounts)
- Hawks HPS brake pads front and rear
And while I was at it I ordered a new Injen CAI and a hydroshield for that lil iddy biddy piece of mind.

Will be calling OTR tomorrow to book the car in to get some BC BR Coilovers installed as well. Cars currently on lowered springs with stock shocks, feels pretty homo and I want a lil bit more droppage over all.

Oh and this for the lols: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/220578417326?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Wow full on. Looks like your mechanics got an "iddy biddy" bit of work to do lol :P

[Vvvtec]

Looks great Charlie! I just put in coilovers man, and I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to stock. One of if not the best mods to do!

I'll try get sone pics up, but I went 2" drop at the front and 1.5" at the rear. Back needs to go down a little more and I'll be happy.

[charliebrown]

Nice man, looking forward to pics. Did you put them in yourself? BC BR if i recall correctly from the other thread. Mind sharing how much you spent on them?

2" front sounds hella nice. If you're still on blades, go sunken battleship star-gazer look and slam the rear tuck half the wheel lol

Would anyone happen to know how much higher the type R lip sits in comparison to the mugen? Am able to get my hands on a genuine one that's already sprayed in my car colour

[Super-DA9]

N+ are definitely great. can be just firm (for daily use) or quite stiff depending on how you adjust them :)

[act_gooner]

What's too stiff for the street? I think the spring rates of the ones I'm looking at are F - 10K and R - 8k. I'm not too fussed about a bumpy ride but I don't want to be overly uncomfortable since my car does a fair few km's.

[Super-DA9]

N+ is 8K front and 6K rear I'm pretty sure. so 10K front will be a fair bit more solid.

I can take you for a drive in mine sometime ross, if you want to get an idea of what the ride quality will be with coilovers.

maybe when we have this canberra meet? :)

Buddyclub N+ man, paid $1300 new for them which I'm pretty sure is not too bad a price. Yeah 2" drop at the front is perfect with the blades. The rear actually looks good where it's at now, but yeah wouldn't mind going another half inch lower.


Good to hear Alex that its finally in,

lol I hate that problem when the rear is just abit higher than the front. But just takes 30-40mins DIY. From my experiance I reckon the N+ is the best for a daily Integra, you can go lower and still have them adjustable settings. Plus that quality assurance that these coilovers shouldn't let you down :thumbsup:

Thanks Moiz :) Yeah the N+ are amazing man, straight out of the box. I've hardly played around with the preload and stuff and they already feel so good. Ride is pretty damn firm now, I'm using damper settings 10 clicks towards stiffest (out of 15 clicks) so there is entry more stiffness to come if I want. But it's already firm as, my cd player is skipping over the smallest bumps haha.

Sounds good, but I'm pretty keen on getting some soon sicne I've been messing around for so long. You at work today? I want to pick up a cover, sick of this pollen all over the joint.

[Vvvtec]

^^ Do it man, you WILL NOT regret coilovers.

You'll need some good tyres though, I've found that my cornering ability is far superior than the grip levels my current tyres will allow :) Federal RSR here I come hehe

[act_gooner]

Anyone had experience with Omni? I've tried doing some research but pretty much everything seems outdated. Most people seem to say they're pretty comfy though, as opposed to when I did research on Skunk2 Pro S everyone complained that they were too stiff.

New tyres? I love my adrenalines though lol.

[Vvvtec]

My mate has Skunk2 Pro-S's on his DC2. They're not bad, height adjustable etc although you can't adjust the damper settings. They feel nice though, pretty firm. But if I had the choice between the Pro-S and Pro-C's, I'd take Pro-C's.

[act_gooner]

Yeah Pro C's are quite pricey though. I'm on a pretty tight budget. :(

[Super-DA9]

Sounds good, but I'm pretty keen on getting some soon sicne I've been messing around for so long. You at work today? I want to pick up a cover, sick of this pollen all over the joint.

Decided against the BC shocks and decided to look around for 2nd hand coilovers. Am in negotiations at the moment for a set of buddy club RSD's, should hopefully have them in my hands on Sunday.

[cph3r]

Ordered new tyres. Bridgestone Potenza RE002's, hopefully in by the end of the week. Couldn't justify getting 595RS R's on my little GSi =[

[charliebrown]

How much ya pay for em? and what size? i couldn't justify spending any more than $100 a corner on the shitty gsi

[cph3r]

How much ya pay for em? and what size? i couldn't justify spending any more than $100 a corner on the shitty gsi

$185 per corner in 205/50/R15. I wanted to go 16's, but don't have the time to choose and order new rims. My current RE001's are screwed. The GSi is a great little car, I'm certainly under no delusions as to how fast it is/isn't, but it gives me pleasure through the windy's when pushed, and good tyres are a must.

I couldn't justify not spending the money, no matter what the car. Cheap tyres are bloody aweful.

[charliebrown]

I have to disagree... i paid $105 a corner fitted and balanced for 205/45/16s. Only downside is that the rubber is porous so air leaks out (bout 2psi drop every month), which isn't a problem since i pump them everytime i fill up anyway. They brake/grip just as well as my old KU31s, not noisy, comfortable. I can still take corners at the same speed and feel secure that the tyres won't give out. Saved a few hundred and no regrets

[Vvvtec]

Up here the RSR's are sub $180 each for 15's

Damn that's a good price man, what size?

[89lude]

i forget now. but for my oem itr rims. 195/50/15 i think. option 1 always has good prices. the rsr never let me down worth every dollar. only downside is the fronts wear out very quick. rears last though

[rhys.l]

Haha found it :P

mine beats 3l magna's, a ford xr6, mates vti-r and against commodores, that just demolish me from the line =(

[Super-DA9]

the B18B is a good engine. just needs a better transmission. would love to see the result if paired with a B16a gearbox!

[GSi_PSi]

lol shameless plug, my first integra haha goddamn it looks slow to me now

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpOxHNZ6-rc

[charliebrown]

hence why i'm considering to do a manual conversion with a s80 gearbox from ITR. no need for vtec!

[act_gooner]

the B18B is a good engine. just needs a better transmission. would love to see the result if paired with a B16a gearbox!

Lolz, let's do it! :p

[GSi_PSi]

make it a torque monster, go b20b8 non vtec with itr transmission + crower stage 3 camshafts ...

[Super-DA9]

hence why i'm considering to do a manual conversion with a s80 gearbox from ITR. no need for vtec!
Hmmm I still think the B16a's short ratios would be better suited. even whack a 4.9FD in there if your insane haha.


Lolz, let's do it! :p
fk yeah man. I'm doing my transmission starting this weekend, so I should be able to help you in future if you want to do a gearbox conversion. :)

[charliebrown]

Should i DIY this conversion shit? I wanna learn by doing but don't have a garage :( maybe make myself a DIY garage in the front yard out of that tent material.

[Super-DA9]

I think anything you can possibly do yourself, you should have a crack at it. it's your car so you'll do a better job because you care about it.

[act_gooner]

Also those tent garages are quite cheap in Super Cheap Auto. I think about $90? Not bad considering the price of a lot of things.

[Super-DA9]

for a temp garage it's over $200 haha...

the $90 one is just the enclosure kit, the actual car port is about $179 :(

[charliebrown]

Yeah i'll do some research and at the end of this year during summer break i might have a go. If i break the car at least i don't have to get to uni. Dunno anyone who could help me out with it though :( it's definetely not a 1 man job

[Super-DA9]

move to ACT and I'll help haha. don't know why you'd move here actually there's nothing to do lol.

[charliebrown]

It appears only you and act_gooner live there (on ozhonda that is). Lonely guys with tegs ahhah melbourne doesnt have much to do either, least you got good laws. shit ass restrictions and lot of bogus over here.

[Super-DA9]

ACT on ozhonda: Super-DA9, act_gooner, NSPYRE, ekdez, threesix, CrystalSkull, JMC, Baal, Jorzie + more

not heaps but not THAT lonely haha

[charliebrown]

Anyways on topic, i filled up my car with 91 for the first time... it runs even slower now lol didn't think it would be so noticable but the car wouldn't accelerate on a small hill and kept changing up and down gears -_- frickin auto annoying

[GSi_PSi]

that will harm your motor. it probably retarded the timing upon detecting lower octane fuel as to why its even slower,

[Vvvtec]

My eg sedan LOVED 91 hahaha. I only ever put like $10 in it a couple times but man it was fun haha.

[charliebrown]

According to the manual, the car was made to run on 91. So it shouldn't harm the motor at all? Ive just always used 98 cos of it's cleaning properties to make sure my injectors stayed fresh.

[Super-DA9]

if you're using E10 then that sh*ts NASTY lol.

hmm, I don't see how the ECU could retard the timing if it's mechanical ignition and fixed cams.

[GSi_PSi]

The knock sensor detects the lower octane fuel retarding the timing making the car have less power

[89lude]

who needs a garage, thats what the front driveway is for :P

[Bulbasaur]

yeah true you dont even need a garage its only useful if it is raining, just aslong as there is concrete

Hm, can I ask your opinions, guys? My Gsi is silver... Should I give it a closed-door respray in black?

[charliebrown]

The question is why are you respraying?

If not respraying the same colour, do something not many people have like a wrx blue or the midnight purple skyline colour

[Indie]

The question is why are you respraying?I don't really like silver. :P

[charliebrown]

Might as well hit a jdm front, go championship white and chuck in a k20 if you got that much money to throw away

A closed-door spray could be done for about 2 grand, surely?

Bayside Auto Styling does closed doors for 1500, i believe it's a bit extra for pearl/metallic. $2500 including interior and engine bay. Hit and miss job from what i've read though

Fuarkkk been keepin an eye on carsales for ages for a clean VTi-R with <150kkm stock around 7k mark. Was thinking about checking out a clean GSi for 7k but it has no sunroof... i feel as though it's a requirement for me now that i seem to use it every time i'm driving in non-rain weather. It's like i can't breath without it! literally...

Should i stick to hondas/tegs? i sort of wanna try something new but i already know a lot about integras so i feel safer buying one

[EKVTIR-T]

S14s are around that price

[charliebrown]

P plate laws, unless theres such thing as a NA S14

[Vvvtec]

Personally wouldn't touch an n/a Nissan.

Alex, would you mind telling how much you bought your DC2 for? i really don't wanna get ripped off again lol paid almost double what my gsi is worth :(

Otherwise, I'd save up until you're on your full licence, and then buy a Silvia or something. How much longer until you're on your full licence?

[charliebrown]

I'm only 18 lol another 3 and 1/4 years to go :(

Might have to settle for GSi... like 90% of vti-r are thrashed to bits, and good condition ones sellers want something stupid like 12k.

Was looking at this one, the kms are acceptable but no sunroof.

get an em1 charlie they're pretty awesome lol wouldnt mind one myself tbh

[charliebrown]

Heh yeah thought about EM1s for a while, but prefer the look of DC2. That's not to say if a well priced EM1 popped up i wouldn't get it :P

[Bulbasaur]

would not sell your car if i was in your position charlie, youd lose quite abit of money considering what you bought it for in the first place

[Super-DA9]

never "settle" for a car man. wait for one you really like, even if it takes time. that way you won't regret it in the long run. :thumbsup:

But you already have a very similar car, so it seems pointless going through all of that bullshit just to go from an auto to a manual. If you want P-Plate performance and fun, more than looks, an EM1/EG/EK will be a better option than a Teg, I believe. Can't have it all at our price-range, unfortunately.

Clearly you aren't happy with your car. You want a manual, you want VTEC. I think if you did end up getting a Civic, you'd probably be happy with it for the next few years, modifying it here and there until you're off your Ps. I just don't think that's something you'll get from your current car.

[Bulbasaur]

yeah but these low km, clean cars tagged with a pretty pricey tag are not going to do you any justice. in my eyes your just repeating the same mistake that you made the first time you bought your car and you will lose even more money. weren't these the features which made you pay what you did for your first car? but if it makes you happy that is all you need to buy a car

[khanguskhan]

Hey mate, friend of mine picked up clean dc2 vtir manual 100k kms just yesterday for 7.5k if you look hard enough you'll find one.

[charliebrown]

Yeah better take my time then and wait for 'DA 1' to pop up.

I want a B series so that rules out EG/EK without engine swaps, plus there is just too many of them going around in my area. Pretty much leaves DC2 and EM1. Both around the same level of performance, 1200kg 120kw/127kw. The EM1 being a 1.6 would have better fuel economy than the 1.8, although probably not much.

Stock or mildly modified? Some people say never buy modified cars cos they've been flogged... but some say modified cars are generally taken care of better cos the owners know their shit and care about the car

[Vvvtec]

Stock or mildly modified? Some people say never buy modified cars cos they've been flogged... but some say modified cars are generally taken care of better cos the owners know their shit and care about the car

It's the luck of the draw really.

My car is modified, yet I treat it like a princess lol.

[Super-DA9]

I believe it's ok to buy a modded one if the mods are only light. things like muffler, wheels, interior bits. stuff thats easily reversible. also buy a compression tester and ask the seller if they'll let you test the cars compression (takes about 20mins). if not, ask THEM to take you for a drive first, and see how they drive it. I looked at a jdm front one when I was looking for a DC2 and I mainly didn't buy it because the guy flogged the shit out of it when he took me for a drive lol

[charliebrown]

Would anyone be able to give me a realistic price tag for what my car would go for? I was planning to keep the wheels, but rest of the stuff would go with the car. You've seen what's on it from the pics i put up.

106xxx, auto, sub/amp, tinted, sunroof, lip, side and rear visors. Maybe chuck stock sussy back on.

[Vvvtec]

Are the side visors genuine? I'll take em haha

[charliebrown]

Nah mate, it's a different shape. If you're 'OEM ONLY BRAH' then it's not for you hahah it was half the price of genuine honda access visors so whatever, it keeps the rain out of my car, good enough

No harm posting it up for how much you got it for, who knows someone might actually buy it. IMO i think you should sell all your parts, might get extra cash for them. If you dont really like the civics then you should just save up abit longer and get a VTIR/DC2R or something they're dropping in price. No point getting another gsi since your not fully happy without some vtec and you'll be in the same situation again.

[act_gooner]

Maybe see how much a dealer would take it for? Might be your best option tbh. I was at a dealership not long ago and just asked out of curiosity and they told me they'd give me 7-8k for it haha. Mines older than yours too.

[89lude]

i wired up my highbeams last night and took it for a drive! i can see again!

[charliebrown]

I got it for 10k at 100xxx stock as a rock with broken thermostat... it puzzles me why the dealer didn't just change the thermo when they did the major service before selling :confused:

A lot of the money i spent on the car can't be sold like central locking, tint, sub and amp (cbf taking it out), visors are stuck onto the car, only worth a few hundred anyway.

My budget is around 12-13k (assuming my car goes for at least 6-7k), but i wanna save money for some light mods. And gotta think about insurance, DC2R would cost a lot more than a DC2 or civic.

gooner do you just go to a random dealer and ask them how much they'd buy your car for? and possible to play them off each other?

why not go for a eg with a b18c7 in it, theere pretty cheap these days and alot of fun.. i can compare ur car to my gsi, Had only done 100,000 manual tint sunroof sub amp major service done last year.When i was considering selling it,i could only see it selling for 5k MAYBE 6 if lucky. Since urs is auto i would expect 5k. Not trying to be a faukwit. But thats the price i think they sell for.

[charliebrown]

Fuarkkkk *shoots self in head*

An EG with b18c7 would cause a lot of trouble... RWC laws in vic are tough now and ill get screwed over one way or another with defects or P plate engine mod shit

[tripleuse]

yeah i kno. B18c wouldnt cause that much trouble, the engines look exactly like a b16a.. most cops wouldnt have a clue, and aslong as ur not being a dickhead.. ull slip under the radar.

[DTN]

I think its possible to get 7k for your gsi with abit of luck. Just gotta target those people that just simply want a clean car and have no/little knowledge about integras haha. I had an auto bb6 prelude (non vtec) and i thought i wouldn't get more than 7k for it but some fob guy loved it cause it was clean and sold for more than what i expected LOL. I also got that car for 10k

[charliebrown]

Target the 1st car buyers, the 17 year old asian kids that watch too much f&f lol

Yeah, that's what I have at the moment. All the pipes, cement and connector cost me $50 from Bunnings. Only thing left is to find the speaker port [velocity stack]. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying an after market CAI/SRI and performs better from the tests of read in the past.

Never thought I'd say that, but Commodore drivers are just atrocious.

I love motorsport man, but V8's are seriously trash compared to F1. I always preferred Holden to Ford, but they're both like lawn mowers in comparison to Formula 1 :D

gonna try get some time this evening to begin removing the tegs transmission. gotta get the whole car off the ground first lol.

[act_gooner]

Honda dealerships/spare parts are ALWAYS hopeless, unless you get the rare guy who actually knows what he's on about.

[r3ckless]

http://firesport.com.au/eg-si-sedan-b18c7-47-lsd-car-trading-point-sales--ad196222.htmDo it, man. Looks nice, and you'll be happy as with that. If he'll take a clean auto DC4 (and probably a bit of cash his way), then it works out well. It's even the same colour!

[charliebrown]

I'm curious as to how he's gonna provide a RWC... and if i was to sell that car how i would get one!

Just worried about legalities and defects etc down the track. Especially with uni i don't have time to go around reverting back to stock, clearing defects, wasting money. Stock parts aren't included in the sale either

[Vvvtec]

If it's engineered like be says, it won't be a problem. Well up here in Queensland atleast. I could take that car to the guy I usually got RWC's from and he'd pass it. 90% of that car is OEM lol. Even the suspension.

DO EEEET.

[Dubstein]

i say go for it charlie, that thing would fly!

[charliebrown]

The car would be considered 'legal' (sort of) if engineered however i wouldn't be able to legally drive it. So if i ram the back of a GTR i'm gone, insurance won't pay out. Decisions...!

New royal purple + Honda mtf today

Don't even consider it then.
