:wave: Hey Bradess.....

Nice choice of ride.... I like the colour too.

You could either tinker with your B16a in a N/A way (cams, gears, headers & exhaust and so forth)

Search around, or post in the "Integra" section stating what can be done for your humble B16a.

Then there is the turbo route which the B16a responds well to also.

Again search or post & you'll find your answers.

As far as cosmetically most usually swap to the later 92-93 bar with the type R style lip...

That said JDP engineering make a nice lip for your 89-91 & 92-93 front bar.

(they slightly differ in style between 89-91 & 92-93 in style & there expensive unfortunately :( )

JDP on 89-91

JDP on 92-93 (note EK civic side skits also)

You can also fit an Accord CD5 94-95 model standard lip to your teg which looks good imo (nice & cheap also)

Only have pic on 92-93 bar, but can be fitted to your 89-91 bar

Anyways welcome along & happy :honda:ering :thumbsup:

I think I deserve a rep point.... lol

PS: Traders & members can get you the Type R style lip, just post in the wanted to buy section buddy.

Ok you may as well get up to speed since you're interested :)

See how yours are just clearish white and red.They are the early tail lights 89-91.
These are the later 92-93 lights.

I would suspect your car has had front damage and they put the older bumper on because the later model is too hard to find.
Also the side strips dont come painted from the factory so they have been painted at some stage.
And the rear lights might have just been swapped because some people prefer the ones you have now.Like me lol.I am using the same as yours on my 93.

22-05-2008, 09:26 PM
16x7.5inch
Umm the spoiler is a personal thing really.You like it or you don't.
I just think our car looks smoother without it.But don't change it coz others say so.
If you like it just leave it :)

Ye it is.The problem with lowering DAs is the underbelly of the car is already lower than other cars so when you lower it too much you will rub and scrape over speedhumps and driveways etc.
Sort of have to find a happy medium because they look crap when they are too high lol

The back is probably 3-4inches and the front maybe 2-2.5 inches roughly.
