Hello all!

**proto-fenix** · 10-03-2007 06:50 AM

Hi everyone,

My name is Sam and I've recently become a member of the Honda-Club *high-five*. What I've bought is a 1996 Honda Integra GSi. It's a fairly big upgrade from my 1985 Nissan Pulsar ET Turbo

(but I still love my old Pulsar). It's a bit sad that I probably won't be trolling pulsar.org as much now that I've got the Honda as my daily-driver...

I'm also a member of OCAU - I'm sure there's a few people who are members of both

Anyway, from what I've seen I can probably learn a lot from OzHonda. I'm not hugely mechanically minded but I would really like to learn (and hopefully cut down on labour costs).

Thanks for reading.

Welcome and enjoy

welcome dude, some pics of your integra would be nice, and some of your pulsar

I'm going to wash and wax the Integra this afternoon, so I'll take some photos then. Here are some pictures of the Pulsar just after I bought it;

As you can see I've got my fulsik race seats and harnesses, my stripped out carpet and back seats (to reduce weight of course), as well as my fire extinguisher - oh and who can forget my go-faster stickers? They probably add about 5kW each

As you can also see the previous owner didn't really give much to the car in terms of TLC. The paintwork came up a LOT nicer after a long hard wash, cut & polish.

It may not look it but it's a decent car and goes fairly hard for a 22yo one at that. It's got numerous modifications to it, and I'm planning a few more for the future

Anyway, the fact I've just rambled on about my crappy old Nissan hatchback conveys just how much I love this car

Washed the Integra. Came up pretty well;

Sorry about the crappy photos - Dad took the good camera so all I had was my phone

It's a really tidy car, was a real steal

The Type-R mats came with it - I really like them because they fit the floor of the car (and cover a nasty cigarette burn made by the previous owners). The rims are absolutely horrible, I'm currently shopping for replacements. The rear tail-lights are also being replaced as I hate the look. A one-inch lower is also on the to-do-list; it's looking a bit 4x4ish.

Oh and genuine carbon-fibre hood

Hi Sam & Welcome to Ozhonda. You're on the right track with the Gsi, get rid of the tails, drop it a tad and swap the chromies for some simple 16s or 17s.

Look forward to the future progression of you ride.

Oh & I'm a dormant member of OCAU too :P

**proto-fenix** · 12-03-2007 10:33 PM

I've ordered a cold-air induction kit, as well as some new tail-lights. Oh and a 4-piece strut bar kit. I'm also going to buy these wheels next pay day. What'd you guys less think?

The bloke I bought it off threw in a shitload of extra stuff including a NOS exhaust manifold and a body kit. I'm thinking I might sell them off, as I doubt I'll ever NOS and if I'm lowering then the body kit won't be practical.

Any market for those items here do you guys think?

**Sensei** · 12-03-2007 10:45 PM

Your link doesn't work for me.
Definetly a market for teg bodykits, try selling here or eBay.

**proto-fenix** · 12-03-2007 10:48 PM

Hmm works for me... weird.

**Sensei** · 13-03-2007 06:24 AM

Well, it works now...those rims would look pretty sexy on the teg. (just make sure they don't give you crummy tires)

welcome mate!

You have two nice cars. Even tho I love hondas, I still love my nissans and toyotas. we're all enthusiasts at the end of the day

What I love even more are oldskool cars in mint condition. No need for fancy paintjobs, just keeping it stock, clean and immaculate - perfect. Really shows a person who simply drives vs an enthusiast.

HI FIVE!

Ian, these are the wheels he was talking about: They look a little plain imo, maybe gunmetal on that purple car would look nice
