Project: Integra Type Dickbutt

[rherold9]

Jesus, talk about a project car. Will it be worth it in the end?

[Kaan]

It's a 20 year old car, did you expect it to be spotless?

[Senor_Taylor]

I feel like trying to find a clean Integra would be a losing battle.

[navin]

They are out there... just not as easy to find in our area.

[Kaan]

And they aren't cheap.

The stuff im dealing with isnt a huge deal. Chassis saving the whole car wasn't required but it will mitigate more work later on.

Just checked this thread... what am I getting myself into this weekend...?? There will be many curses from the garage.

drink beers and....
1. remove front suspension, brakes, and studs
2. install new front suspension, brakes, and ARP studs
3. install front/rear bumpers
4. mock up exhaust

wait for bolts to come in to finish the rear...

[Kaan]

Tomorrow we party with an integra! Anyone else coming? I just need to make sure we have beer and food

[Kaan]

Thank you Cabell!

Fronts are in... new upper arm/ball joint, koni/gc, and goodrich lines/ITR calipers/mini rotors "big brakes". After fiddling with the front for a while I think I'm going to opt out of running the AMR Spherical top hats. not enough up-travel



I need to shave down those two nubs on the calipers... they knock off wheel weights lol

[V1GiLaNtE]

Wish we had done a side by side of the old calipers compared to the ITRs.. They are massive. We still doing the rear this weekend?

[Kaan]

I got the tracking number for the bolts... I'm hoping the new top hats come in by Friday (I spent more money on the parts and the shipping to make sure that happens). I ordered new brake line clips too... then I found some in the Goodrich box. oh well!

[Kaan]

I also ordered a new koni hardware kit to make sure I'm not missing anything...

[Kaan]

unless the post man screws up, everything should be here. I haven't heard from Koni but I'm going to search high and low tonight anyway.

[V1GiLaNtE]

Werd. What tops hats did you go with? Did the driver hard line stop leaking?

[Kaan]

no more leaks from the drivers side.

I went with ground control non "race" extended top mounts for all 4 corners. i'll take some measurements and see if the machineshop can make me something harder then poly but softer then steel

[Mike]

looking good.

[Kaan]

koni hardware will be in Friday. I might drop it off for an alignment early next week

[V1GiLaNtE]

Oh snap. Game changer!

[Kaan]

Cabell came to visit… to finish the trouble we started last weekend. Wrap up the front/swap top hats and finish the rear suspension/brakes…. And complete the 2.5 inch exhaust.

Not slammed… needed to grind off some nubs on the caliper and get paint on them.


Getting the rear cleaned up and finished


Tractor exhaust… the optimal painting conditions!


Dat Ass! With a turndown


I do have to wait for the swaybar endlinks, new lug nuts (and apr stud) because the aluminum ones BLOW...

[JPolen01]

I like the turn down. Making good progress!
