its still stock, i know 
i decided that a motor comes first, then suspension. so it'll stay like this for a while. it actually sits alot lower than my CL did when it was stock.

Hella slightly. Like i said, the last one is an HDR, which is like 8 different images combined into one and i messed around with the curves. The other ones are just resized, sharpened and slightly burned around the edges.
FYI im still learning little things here and there about fotoshoping shit

Its next to the dodge tool, I think the symbol looks like a ball with a line sticking out of it or something like that. I havent used photoshop in a while.

That's a really clean DA, the interior looks great. I don't know how much those Integra's weigh, but my all motor 81mm bore B18C get's me mid 13's all day long in my basically stock weight '92 Si. It's probably really close to that of the DA.
If you're going the JDM route, I'd keep it all motor. There's something about JDM style Honda's with turbo kits I don't find appealing. B20VTEC would be nice, if done right it would probably put you in the low 13's maybe high 12's.
Can't wait to see the rest of it's progress. That looks like a really clean car to start with.

yea Si's are alot heavier in comparasion to a CX, VX, or DX bubble. still very light though, but yea i would say the DA is around the same weight. yea and Blazin is right going turbo isnt the right route to take if your going straight JDM.

Op. I don't think it's a down grade at all.
If I had to sell my Cl or my hatch, I'd sell the CL. Not saying that I don't <3 my CL. I take care of it - My <3 just belongs to my lil honda b/c of all it's qualities - it's just not as luxurious or whatever - but at least it doesn't feel like I'm driving a boat like my CL haha (I'm gonna get flamed for saying that). What are your future plans with it?
If you decide to go b20vtec, invest in boost also. You won't regret it. I know I miss mine
Just make sure you get it sleeved otherwise your gonna blow it up. Everyone is ranting about JDM this JDM that, I've got the whole jdm interior, all I'm missing is the rhd but who gives a shit. Just do what you like - don't follow a trend.I'm actually not a fan of DA's but I must say that even your interior looks mint.
g'luck n keep updating

word, after the CL the teg feels like a straight go kart, and its all stock right now.
my plans are basically replace everything thats going out, or needs work first. Which isnt really much. 194xxx mile squeaky stocl struts and shocks are being replaced by i think function and form coilovers in the next few weeks, then im saving for the engine. i really just want a clean, reliable setup, so i'm thinking maybe just b18c1, not even type r. fast cars just get me in trouble.
one pieces should be arriving at my house soon, pickin up a 93 bumper in vallejo in a few days, then i'm goin with the JDM thin side moldings and respraying the car jasper green @ maaco.
as for rims, a set of sprint hart CPFs would rock the shit, but thats alot of $$$. The stockers will probably be replaced with LS mesh as a temp fix.
dont wanna drop TOO much into this car, just enough to make it stand out.

they're fully adjustable. they're really not bad, it's just not a big brand name... nothing but positive reviews for form and function. I've been doing my research. Teins might go on this car later, but I'm not about to buy coilovers that cost near the price of the car did just yet I'm sure I'll change my suspension setup down the line.
i had the tein HAs on my CL, so i'm a big fan of fully adjustable everything. i was looking at tein basics for about 5 seconds but threw em out cuz of no dampening adjustment

yeah, i've seen it a couple times with stock ones, but rarely. alarm/kill switch/cutoff wont come till the engines swapped. this thread will stay dead for a while, i'm gonna save up for a couple months, drive her stock and come february(ish) im gonna see how much i have to work with and go to town.
