[Mantooth]

Looks nice!

All I can see that I would do would be replace the right headlight assembly.

[G.C]

plans?

[ash7]

plans?

I'll be fixing small issues mostly (such as the headlight assembly leaking). Then moving to modifiying strut towers for upper A arm clearance, having the rear quarter panels rolled and pulled a tad, then installing new wheels for proper fitment. As well as installing a Mugen Gen 2 wing.

-jonathan

[Evil Goat]

more power. less pretty, yet useless, crap.

[PRO®]

It is boosted.

It's sic I want it

[slostang]

nice A/C condenser!

[uproot]

love it.

[jdm eg99]

nice need some engine bay shots..

[imperception]

oen of my favorite body styles...tighten up the body panel clearances if you can, fix headlights, possibly move on to HOP kit?

Excellent - which panels do you see that need tweaking? :) I'd like a HOP kit, and i'm sure i'll eventually get around to getting one. :goodjob:

dang, you caught me

-jonathan

[SubiStokes]

looks sick i wana see more pics now though

[AeeCeeCard]

awesome integra!
sounds like great plans to me

[SixSquared]

Nice teggy... I'd say 99-01 front bumper if you're gonna be doing body mods. Looks great as is though :thumbup:

[japan4racing]

lose the wheels...they are lose

[RBS]

take out the bulbs on the passenger headlight, and blow the inside with compressed air. it works wonders on getting rid of water

[teh_mugen18]

x2456324 :camera:i like it a lot

[EJ_Allmota]

looks clean, keep the 94-97 front end.. it looks good with the intercooler back there..

[ash7]

yes sir, however that might just be a band-aid to the issue. I'll probably remove the headlight completely and find the leak. :goodjob:

thank you for the comments everyone!
-jonathan

[lanning]

very clean makes me want to take my wing off

[nrowensby]

Very clean... kinda makes me miss my DB8 Project...

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n236/nrophoto/IMG_4376.jpg

[gtikid]

Damn Jon, I didn't know the Integra was boosted. Good shit homie :goodjob: I love that Mugen wing bro, it's probably my favorite wing. You found anything yet? Glad to see you working on something new, hope I don't see it gone in a few months :( haha

[Dylan]

yes, that front end looks way too nice on your car..very nice integra!

[DustnU]

Looks good! Can't wait to see after pics!!

[civicmantim]

The only thing I would do is a JDM frontend other than that your car is badass even without a JDM front.

[imperception]

Excellent - which panels do you see that need tweaking? :) I'd like a HOP kit, and i'm sure i'll eventually get around to getting one. :goodjob:
-jonathan

thank you, glad you agree, just please don't go hype R on us...I love that kit, but only on a proper ITR.

drivers side rear garnish to bumper (garnish under taillight)
front bumper to fenders
D2R HID conversion (the reflective type with cutoff determined by reflector cover, my IS300 has what I'm talking about)
JDM ITR w/HID front end would be hot (totally unnecessary though), but I dunno which direction you're thinking of.

Thanks for noticing the rear garnish, i'll take a closer look at it tomorrow. :) The front bumper on the passenger side is a tad out of align, one of the clips has broken off and needs to be replaced. :(

Considering the car has been freshly painted, i'm going to restrain from many exterior mods that require paint; it never seems to match just right. I'm personally a fan of the 94-97 front end, too many people are quick to jump to a conversion of some type. :)

The HID cutoff is very clean and headlights are properly aligned for the ride height of the car - it doesn't blind anyone.

Thanks for your input!

yes sir - i located one in NC, I have to find time to ride up and look at it first though. I don't want to drop that much money and wind up with a replica.

-jonathan

[Evil Goat]

It is boosted.

you noticed the intercooler too huh? theres no such thing as too much power

[nocar96]

nice pick up! i saw it forsale. Engine is very clean:goodjob: i say it looks good as it is!

[T34me]

love it man, clean! and i dont care what people say, that color kicks ass

[lcortes32]

wow its coming along awesome..

Looks Great man

[secondgencamaro]

get the fitment correct

as always, feedback, ideas and opinions are appreciated.

Already is. Don't go wider. Lower? Yes. Wider? No.

-jonathanlooks good without the wing imo...:goodjob:

[DoriDori]

looks great. Rep+ for removing the side moldings

[90-RED-SI]

what happened to the 4dr you brought down here in houston? btw the myk20 coupe is getting there bro.. you didn't forget about your texas boys did you?

:cheers:

get a mugen gen 1 wing instead of the gen 2!

[TheChosenOne]

I can't wait to see what your gunna do to this one John. GL with the car.

[D3UC3S]

This car is clean!

G/L with your plans!

[Genji-Sama]

IMO, i think the mugen gen 2 is for JDM fronts, I would go with gen 1, but it looks clean as is!

[civic gsr]

Very clean... kinda makes me miss my DB8 Project...

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n236/nrophoto/IMG_4376.jpg that looks like my old 4 door ummmmmmm if this is you ..you sir owe me

[imprtguy_94]

engine bay pics, or GTFO...


did you ever bother looking at the thread when the car was for sale?

its one of the cleanest teggs ive seen inside and out.

[ash7]

I can't wait to see what your gunna do to this one John. GL with the car.

Thank you sir, i won't disappoint (or at least I'll try not to) - Completion date is a week before the next Alliance meet if all goes smoothly.


what happened to the 4dr you brought down here in houston? btw the myk20 coupe is getting there bro.. you didn't forget about your texas boys did you?

Whaaaaat, how could i forget about the Houston crew man?! Seriously, if the roads weren't so bad - i'd begin planning some type of trip back to chill for a few days. The sedan was stolen about 1.5 months ago.


Thank you gentlemen for the comments and opinions on the Gen2 wing. :goodjob: I am taking notes as critiques are being offered!
-jonathan

[90-RED-SI]

your always welcomed here bro.... can't wait to see this car when its done.... stolen??? damn bro any after pics of what was left/ i was ckleaning out my van the other day and found the old key/pink srtipped honda emblem from the red coupe. i can send them to you if you like for your memories....lmk good luck on keeping this one safe

[xdavidscenex]

paint the front lip and side skirts to match the color of the car it will help give the lower effect

[ash7]

You are the man, i was looking for those and thinking they were lost forever. I'll PM you my address bro :) thank you! I do have some after pics, everything was taken, right down to the door panels - they did leave the headliner though - I'm sure you remember that one - it was the only thing left other than an empty dash.

I miss my old red coupe every single day. *sigh* :cry:
-jonathan

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

I love BG33P colored Integras.

I would just change the rear bumper to a 98-01 because it flows with body a lot more. Other than that, the exterior is done. And of course the gen 2 wouldn't look bad.

Great car man and I cannot wait for your plans.

The wing is kind of hideous for the car, man. Other than that, it looks ok. For now. Later, QD.

[HachiDori]

I love that wing. The car minus the wheels looks awesome. some advan RGII's would look sex on there

[Genji-Sama]

Sorry to be ignorant, i've heard of a HOP kit before, but what is it?

Yo u going to the wrong fitment crew out there in NC..??

[ash7]

Yo u going to the wrong fitment crew out there in NC..??

i doubt it man, i decided to have custom barrels and lips made - so - the wheels won't be ready till May or June, so, until then i won't be riding flush. :(

-jonathan

[Humphrizzle]

JDM ITR w/HID front end would be hot (totally unnecessary though), but I dunno which direction you're thinking of.



JDM ITR w/HID front end has a huge HID ballast on the back of the headlight. You would need to remove ABS to be able to get it to fit unless you went with an aftermarket ballast.

which is stupid.


SIR-G front end looks just as good and 1000 dollars cheaper.

nice car btw.. i know the previous owner.

[Catnip]

I came a little when I saw the spoiler.




Just kidding.
It was a lot. lol

[Black4DrEK]

FUCK YEA MAN!!

I love your teg bro! looks hella nice!

[stubbyda91]

[Drummerboy]

Love the wing! I wish the Mugen wing for the Prelude was that agressive.

Wanna go for a friendly run after my build?

[greasemunkey]

love the wing, sexy car new rims look awesome as well

[ash7]

Sick integra man, hopefully mines is this clean when im done.

[lanning]

that spoiler looks amazing on the car, maybe some ukdm tails and call it a day

[Tommy_T]

looks so much better/ keep up the good work.

[SoLJames95]

:gay: jk keep it up man. I touched this car one time and its turbo....... LOL

[silverDA]

my new fav dc2.

[EL42]

these wheels fit better than the others u had.

[ash7]

thank you


that spoiler looks amazing on the car, maybe some ukdm tails and call it a day
thanks man, and i feel you on the tail lights, the white turn lenses might stand out too much from the rest of the car though. Up next most likely is visors, lug nuts, and an e-cutout.


looks so much better/ keep up the good work.
thank you sir

Jon is my hero. :yay:







ps. Lemme know when you get tired of the k1's.

:ninja:

[Franco Tirador]

i always liked your teg

[87 Turbo II]

I'm not feeling the wing at all, but all the Mugen nutswingers around here do so maybe I'm the crazy one(honestly, I think most of the people here that say the wing looks good only say it because they own a Honda, and the wing is Mugen, cause out of a no-baised strictly looks standpoint I hate it). Other than that the car looks great.

[600 Double R]

leave it just like it is. looks good.

[matthewAPM]

Okay. My opinion....

Car looks great. Few things I see that could be done would be front splitter on the bottom of that lip, seats and rollbar, BBK, and maybe a better set of coilovers??

[DeeAOne]

im liking the new wheels definitely man!

[ash7]

Okay. My opinion....

Thanks man, keep in mind that this car is driven every day - all of the things you mentioned would definitely make the car harder to operate daily. :) Except the coilovers, however i am quite pleased with the Flex type currently installed. :goodjob: I do appreciate the opinion though!

-jonathan

[tdurr]

i dono if i like the wing. id have to see it in person but everything else is spot on. good job man.

[SandM]

car looks great. It does seem to be missing something though. maybe a BBK or something.


I think most of the people here that say the wing looks good only say it because they own a Honda, and the wing is Mugen.

pssh, looks always matter (as long as it's not spoon :ninja:)

[sti_cham]

looks good, bt looks best how it was

[bigjussin]

dude i'm riddled with jealousy...looks amazing with the koseis...guess u didnt roll with the rs's?

[ineedahonda]

Although I miss her......I am glad to see this car is finally in good hands. Take care of her!! Looks good!! Keep the updates rollin.....

[Sylent Nite]

yeah sorry but I actually like the before pics better. Mugen wing is nice and all just not my style. but props to you sir

[ash7]

it's a "love it or hate it" kind of thing, i guess. :)

haha, you must have taken a spin back when the turbo LS was installed. That has now been removed in favor of a different type.

-jonathan

[gtikid]

Damn Jon, that thing looks BADASS!! I love it man...i've always had a thing for the Mugen Wing. Keep doing your thing like always homie. You gonna be at SKF? It's been a while dude, we needa catch up

[WalkS]

Looks good man! Whats your setup?

[ash7]

Looks good man! Whats your setup?

I'd rather not say yet.

I'm afraid that i won't, bro. :cry: These next few weeks will find me out of country on an aircraft recovery assignment for my company.

However, i have already reserved my room in Nashville for IA! :) It has been a while bro - we've got to catch up!

-jontahan

[Subleg4]

I like the 2nd set of rims minus the giant wing, looking good

[Genji-Sama]

Definitely diggin the car when it had black wheels and the wing, and lovin it more with the white wheels wingless. Don't know how'd I'd like it if the wing went back on though

[ezone]

what wheel are those in the last pic?

[Sylent Nite]

Looks great both ways, I prefer the wingless / White combo but all the progression is nice

[Sylent Nite]

BTW are thoes Kosie K-1 wheels? havent seen those inna while now, lol. They still look hot sir

[ash7]

Updated, finally! Life has been super busy as of late.

-jonathan

[msanch24]

every stage is clean and all, but i wouldve stopped at white K1's with the wing. i definitely understand the need to keep things changing and fresh though.

[lanning]

Damn its so simple and so clean, I'm digging it. IMO which doesn't mean shit I would lose the back window visor.

[ash7]

thank you gentlemen, i've been happy with the car in every "stage" except for one - but like msanch said... Gotta keep it fresh!

-jonathan

[BlackDubs]

Most definately clean. My favorite stage is the black k1's with the Mugen wing.

Keep on keep'n on.

[SoLJames95]

So what happen to the koseis?

[ash7]

they went away in favor of some CE28s.

-jonathan

[SoLJames95]

Well your lucky cuz I got my own. Lol ;)

[a94civicex]

It looks good bro!

[NoWAyItZTOMmY]

Looks great man. Did you replace the oem fogs for the ones in thre now? I cant really tell from the pictures.
