The car has to much going on.. Or atleast it looks like it to me.. Too many colors..

Bingo. Under the hood...err...under where the hood would be is just about perfect other than the purple FPR.

The silver wheels don't flow with the white car and the blue center caps and lugs don't go with anything.

White rear view mirror?

The windshield banner would be alright if the rest of the car went together. The white, red, and green would flow like a Mexico or Italy flag....but then the blue, gold, & purple throw it all off. Too many colors.

The steering wheel is blah in this application. A suede sparco or OEM JDM Momo ITR would be much more fitting.

So I did a bit of research.... I see that you own a 2001 Integra... Basically Stock appearance wise... With a Type R Swap on Rotas... And what I dont understand is why you are critiquing this car so hard.... what have you done that makes you the King Critiquer... We know what you would do to this car... Put a 94 front on it.... sell the Mugen Wheels and Put Rotas on it and get rid of the "Ricey" Brakes for ure Bad ass porsche brakes... So why dont you take a chill pill on giving us your BAD ASS tips... :screwy:

The reason the honda game is so great is because people do different things to make it their own... Sorry man, we dont care about why you dont like the car or what you would do. :goodjob:

And by no means do we expect to please everyone... But damn dude lay off.

reps to "AH VTEC"!!!!

I simply followed up Julio's post. It's your car, you do what you like, there is nothing you can say about mine to hurt my feelings because I didn't build it for you or anyone else. As for the appearance I'm offering constructive critism. We simply stated we don't like the rainbow of colors. That shouldn't hurt anyones feelings. I personally like cars to have a flowing color scheme, look at any exotic off the line or say a Le Mans car, normally everything flows on the car...even the race livery. I'd like to congratulate you on not painting the engine bay a different color though! :goodjob:

I'm not fond of the brake setup because I know what those stock calipers weigh and can only imagine what the rotors weigh...not to mention $1,400 for a stock Honda setup is ridiculous. I LOVE what Mugen has done as far as their products and R&D go, just not in this case. I never mentioned or compared my brake setup, until now...

With brand new Brembo monoblock calipers from the Porsche dealer (with no discount) I would still have less into my setup...but I got used ones from a Porsche junkyard for nearly 1/3 of retail. Brakes pads are the same price or less, can change the pads faster, and the setup is lighter with both a larger caliper and rotor to disperse the heat more effectively.

The extra weight lost makes up for my 15lb rotas :taun:

*edit*
What I would do with the car is powdercoat the silver wheels to go with the car...probably white, bronze, or black. Why would I replace Mugen wheels for $400 Rota's? lol! I would strip the color from the lugs and centers or re-anodize them something to match. I like the banner but I don't like the steering wheel. There's a reason why wood steering wheels are not used on a performance or race setup...too much fatigue with a wood wheel. I definitely wouldn't change the front, the non-US front was the planned phase II for my car but I would customize the bumper instead of putting a $600 lip on it. The engine bay is awesome, I wanted a white Carbing strut bar for mine so bad but could not locate one...then ITB's. Then I'd take a wire brush or air grinder with a brush wheel to the rusted bolts and either clear coat the threads or paint them. And yeah, I would definitely put the Porsche brake setup on it.

maybe you need to chill out. Jason's teg was done wayyy back before you probably even had your car. The porsche brakes would probably dominate those "s2k" setup anyday of the week. I'm sorry but I would have to agree that paying that much for "OEM" brakes is rediculous, you mine as well buy the spoon setup for that price. Hell, my brake setup is the same as those but I didn't spend that type of money on just putting mugen on them.

I love the appearance and stance of your homeboi's R, but keep in mind that this is a PUBLIC forum with people willing to give their personal opinions. If you can't handle it, then don't post at all. Jason was just giving you his own opinion on the car and how there's too many colors going on. Whether you care about anyone opinions or not, just move on.

And btw, I rather own his 2001 integra than to own your 17 year old eg that aint worth shit compared to his, so I wouldn't be talking about his teg on rotas. At the end of the day, its still worth more than your eg.

very nice R

Well dude I can honeslty appreciate the quoted post above. I would much rather see criticism like what you posted than ure previous posts earlier in the thread. U were just simply like bashing the car with no "constructive criticism"

Now, the brakes came with the shell, so he did not shed out the big bucks for them. From your post it seems you are all about tracking your car and that's great, we have a lot of friends that track their cars so I can appreciate the reason you put those lighter brakes on your car and are able to run cheaper pads, it makes since, afterall tires and brakes seem to be the biggest wear item on track cars . The type r I posted pictures of... Is not a track car. So his taste in things may be different than yours. As far as the stering wheel, he simply just likes it, he's had it in the last three cars he's owned, it was anew and really unseen thing (in the honda game) when he got it so I guess you could say he's attached to that wheel lol. Thanks for the mature post and I'm not an asshole, I was just seeing nothing but you bashing a car that has been together less than a week.

To all parties involved, the fighting needs to cease.
Comment and move on...There is no need for a bash session within this thread.

Wait, did your friend get that shell from NWP? i saw one of these on there for sale a little while ago, and thought to myself "wow" before it was even built. lol.:goodjob:

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!

Man, I loved his K-swap'd Teg, but dang, this one is SHWEEEEEEET!!! I love it.
