Cheers, i have a few plans......

Seeing VtecbabyPeteAdonai's DC2 build that he never finished, kinda inspiried me i guess.

Gonna be a full nut and bolt, tear down and rebuild.

Everything below it, stripped, blasted and re-powdercoated.

All new OEM bushings etc

Full Respray

All brand new side moldings,skirts and window moldings from Honda.


Basically, when its finished, it will look pretty much stock, with a few wee nice bits on it.

How flawless it will hopefully look will be what sets it apart from the crowd, rather than loads of modifications.

.......That's the plans, now all i need is Time/Money :confounded:


really chuffed my failure thread has inspired you dude

The Integra though WILL live again due to another someone having a very unfortunate moment in theirs :worried:

Will keep an eye on this dude, and you know you want my big box of nuts and bolts :p

Collecting the parts up at a nice steady rate now, I'll have to call up a day and see how the old girl is sitting - you've probably got it stripped and sitting in multiple piles in the garage by now! :p

Andy, No pics of it closed, if i get a minute later i'll take one.

Curtiz, Yeah, easy enough fitted. Just replaces existing pocket at the bottom of your dash, four screws.

Yes pete. They are another set of RnR's.

Thought the set that was on the car suited it, so bought another. Gonna go silver rather than gunmetal this time.

Spacers, Yeah, there will be. But just to clear the 282's and Legend calipers.

I've done the whole low offset on honda thing. And as pimpin as it looks, it does take away from the driving of the car. To be fair the EK9 didnt have crazy offsets, but enough to throw it off a bit, you know?

I didnt actually realise just how much, until i put the stock wheels on to sell it at the time.

If i was to go 'all out' I would have went 16' regas.That said, I'm not saying i wont in time :p

But i just needed a set of wheels for it, so i could give the previous owner his back, and these fitted the bill!
