Picked up my new Integra last night, all I'll say for now is it's absolutely immaculate, it's mint.
When I have abit more time I'll put up some pics and let everyone in on the story!
So happy right now!
Congrats bro, can't wait to see some pictures.
Good luck with it.
Likewise, looking forwards to seeing it. How did you first find out about it?
Kind of a cool story...Quote:

Anyway, as I was keen on it I talked to him about it and was keen to make an offer later on when I had the money for...
Long story short, before I got to it, it sold again! This time to a mate of his, who also fell in love with the car haha. But after owning it for a short time, due to personal reasons he then had to let it go!! So as Scott (crx51) knew I was keen on it, he put me in touch with his mate, and I finally got my hands on it!
It's honestly the cleanest DC2 I've seen in person, both inside and out, with a full history. 116,xxx K's on the clock.
Literally had 3 chances to buy this one, so third time round I couldn't let it slip again and snapped it up!
I'll get some pics up soon, but they won't do it justice that's for sure. Can't wait for the next cruise!!
Congrats mate. Gotsta c it. BTW, u can take off the WTB signature now :-P
Thanks man! I'll organise that drive soon! Maybe next weekend even? And yeah haha I finally can get rid of it, or I might just change it to parts now :PQuote:

Comlpetely stock as rock, paint is immac as its been resprayed, no issues with it whatsoever lols, awesome car haha

Defs! I was full smiling when it hit the 2nd butterfly hahahahahaha, yeah it was on carsales, NSW it was a white one, picked it up for $6500 with 1995, 143,000 kms and stock as a rock sitting on fat fives with brand new tyres and 1 year rego haha!Quote:

I'm not sure what to do, whether to go ahead with the JDM front conversion or throw the money at Coils, a bigger TB, skunk2 IM, exhaust.. :(
Just remember if you buy the B18C2 Injen CAI this week, you won't be able to fit it on the skunk2 IM if you buy it later. You would need a B18C5 Injen CAI to fit in the Skunk2 IM.Quote:

Coming bro :)Quote:

To be honest I didn't really notice much loss, if any, in the bottom end, the bigger throttle body makes quite a large difference and makes the throttle very sensitive/responsive.. Took me a while to get used to driving it after the mods lolsQuote:

I've installed the coils, I don't really like the lip I bought so I'm probably going to try and find an ITR one as well
sound interesting, you should start a build thread
get a retune next. vtec engagement should be smoooth.Quote:

I guess I mis-worded that one, when vtec "kicks in" (hate saying that) its a smooth engagement, can just feel the revs/speed build much faster, there isn't a "pull" perse just a very nice increase in the powercurve but of course would be much nicer with an ecu/tuneQuote:

Don't think these will turn out too good, but it's a start!
Edit: Pictures dont do the car any justice. Any imperfections/dirt/grime you see is just crap I've picked up while driving. There are literally no scratches on the car, it's just abit dirty and needs a good clean!
Wanna trade front bumpers? Headlights+indicators too?
Did you find the 3 hidden DC4's at Boss wrecking the other day? Can't remember what state their front bars were in or if they were even facelifted, but you should look around for one! Give the car such a nice look on the front end.
Nah I didn't, wasn't really keeping an eye out for tegs, mostly civic shells lol, I want to track spec one haha
All the tegs at boss arnt facelifted.. from mermory... they are hidden away behond locked gates so you have to ask to see them... and if your lucky they will let you...
heres some picsQuote:

there's an itr front lip for $120 ( i think ) in the forsale thread from a brisbane seller, should go get it for your car! will give it a tougher front stance. snap it up before someone else does.
A type R lip is one of the very first things I plan on doing. Just bought insurance though, so it's gonna be a while before I have money to spend hahaQuote:

Do it yourself, don't waste money on workshop service. Spend the $$ on mods instead.Quote:

Problem solved.
THANK YOU BRISVEGAS!!
I'm here all week.
lol I'm so ****ing bored, you should totally DIY though.
Just change your oil, I think that's all you will need.
Unless you have noticed any problems?
No problems what so ever. It's fresh as, running beautifully, jsut coming up to it's regular service interval. Just want to change the oil+filter.
Seriously, anyone can do basic servicing of fluids. All you need is a good spanner/socket set, 4 jackstands and a trolley jack.Quote:

Dude it costs like $1000 for servicing, you should spend that sort of money on tools, then I can borrow some lol.Quote:

$1000 for a service? wth that must be like a crazy fkn service
I think he just meant the oil change + filter change, if you want change the leads+plugs, fuel filter and airfilter while you're at it
Yeah I was kidding man, I was saying he should spend $1000 on tools.
Car is going to look shmick tomorrow night, just hoping the rain holds out abit longer...
NO! You want it to rain now so that it uses all the water and goes away...Quote:

Also what was it like crossing over into VTEC so 'early' (lol) at 4400? Does it build power pretty nicely in the top end?
Yo!
You should still be able to use the DC2R CAI on the VTi-R TB but you might need to clamp it down a little harder than usual, you run into trouble when you try and run a VTi-R intake on a DC2R TB or bigger (eg skunk2). I wouldn't say vtec kicks in at 4400, maybe more towards 5k, its pretty nice having a single crossover as well :D
Upgrading TB asap is a good idea when you do get the funds, you'll feel a much better throttle response (aka your throttle will be EXTREMELY sensitive and may take some getting used to lol), I'd recommend the s2 one if you already have the IM, but the DC2R will also suffice for much cheaper. Did you order the goodies from Yonas? :)
