I'll check those buddyclubs out too :)

Even with 1.5" drop you will be out of the old stock shocks operating range. also when it comes to king springs they usually come in Superlow and Ultralow. I can tell you from experience that Superlow is easily enough to kill your stock shocks. just a warning! haha

Well first off, that is for a JDM front integra, and second if it's for a Type R (this does not include "Type R style") it wont fit.

What you need to be looking for is fitment for 93-97 (non-JDM) integra.

Go check out JDMYard in the trader section of this forum, they sell the same lip as the first one you posted to fit your vehicle.

If I had a black lip, matte black rims, would a black type r wing suit?

Wanting to look like this: http://image.hondatuningmagazine.com...ront_right.jpg (but with AUDM headlights and maybe the black wing)

Up to you dude, it's your car.

My personal opinion though, type R wings on prefacelift (93-97) bodies look a bit lame unless you fit 98-00 facelift front and rear bumpers.

Even still has the OEM tape player ;) shame I have to wait 2 weeks till I can get it though.

What sort of mods do you guys recommend for this model? I've already booked it in for a full exhaust system with an Xforce twin loop muffler and ordered a CAI. I was thinking of getting some king springs too, or should I just really blow the bank with some coilovers? Also, do you think this lip would look good on white? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Carbon-Fi...item1c1ce1ab36

dont ruin such a good example of a car, put some nice wheels on, good coils, but if you want to keep it clean id stop there. Then just engine mods dont put the wing on, IMO it will look shit/fanboy.

A black wing on a white car is a terrible idea.

cleaned good clean

it really is, I've pretty much used it to build a model of how I want it haha.

Also, will a JDM DC2R rear control arm fit a 97 AUDM VTI-R?

yes it will, but your stock suspension wont fit into the control arm you will need to buy dc2r suspension or aftermarket.

Because that was funny the first time.

wouldnt use a vtec controller with bigger cams.Vtec controllers are terrible.

Why's that?

bigger cams= no torq, and then setting the vtec controller to a lower rpm, = no torq all noise no go.

Oh okay. Well my intentions for the VTEC controller were to be able to change it to the optimum kick in after I get a dyno with my next exhaust, cams and intake so I can then change it to where the dyno tells me. Also to make it kick in higher when on freeways and stuff to save fuel.

what cams you got? when using bigger cams you would usually set the changeover to around 6000rpm.

but you cant just put in large cams + change vtec point = done. your engine will need to be tuned to get the performance othetwise itll probably be worse than stock.

not entirely true, pretty sure the torque just moves up the powerband.

this is true it does shift,but your shifting it to higher range, thus losing your low/mid range torque.

Yep thats better :)

it's the Low and Mid range torque you lose, depending on how much bigger the cams are. if it's only a mild increase in lift you will retain, and depending on the cam design, increase mid range but lose a little bit of low end torque.

however if you have big lift stage 3 cams you will lose a fair amount of low/mid in most cases as the power band is much higher up.

Finally got my 2.25" cat-back made up by Carline Mufflers in Gawler (SA).

Used a Magnaflow muffler and resonator I bought from the forums, very happy :D

Sick. How does it sound Jake? Post a clip!

Mandrel/press bent, stainless or mild steel?

Surprisingly quiet in car, but a nice tone from outside.

Press bent mild steel with stainless from muffler to tip.

I recorded it with my phone but it sounded terrible, so I'll wait till I get a decent quality vid and chuck it on youtube :)

Definitely getting it tuned after my cams and before my controller. They're only stage one cams, just to add a little bit more of a punch up high.

Sneaky mods HAHAHHA

cant wait to get my car back!!!!! its been too long :(

Got my front bar resprayed along with the front lip, paint is correct colour, just newer than any of the other panels. Any way of blending it guys? :(

give the rest of the car a good wAsh / cut n ploish

well today i de badged the "type s" and "integra" off her rear, ran into a little bit of cactus though, the badge glue was the biggest c**t to get off
looks my-t-clean though :D

Nice, got any photos of it? :D

Your best chances with the paint blending would've been allowing them to paint with the car available as a whole, so they would lift the front part of your fender a few shades so that it matches up with your front bar.

Yeah, he told me to just bring the bar in (mates dad). As previously mentioned, would a cut and polish be able to match the paint? Or do I just have to live with it like that

How much did the respray cost u bro?

Mates dad did it for $250

for about $300-$350 you could had got it done with colour match lol. epic 50 shades of white.

getting the same colour code is easy but getting it colour matched is a different colour. Only way to make it blend is to get it sprayed again.

At least they didnt spray the black centre vent white like other noob panelshops

I was getting quoted prices of ~450 for bar and lip to be painted :/ It's better than what it was before at least, and yeah, I asked him to spray the centre black :P

'Rim' is just a misappropriated term, however. What makes an alloy wheel more of a 'rim' than a steelie?
