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...

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.

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

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!

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

*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.

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.
