I figured as such.

The TSX had the beginnings of what the next gen Integra Sedan SHOULD have been. All they needed to do was beef up the suspension a little bit keep the motor a DOHC. The iVTEC just wasn't enough IMHO.

 

This car has come a long way, really nice.


We need to start an integra thread, there are so many teggy owners on this board.

 

Thanks man.

There are? aside from PPLAPW and stillhere, I didn't know there were that many integra owners on the board.

 

i know this is an older post... but i wanted to chime in.

i've made at least 8 purchases total from tire rack and from discounttiredirect and both have always sent my orders in individual boxes.. for wheels, wheels and tires... and even when i ordered just tires... my most recent purchase from them was about a month ago. same outcome, came in individual boxes.

not sure why.

 

Finally installed the OEM Raybrig fog lights on the Integra w/PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow bulbs. Gotta wait till the evening to see just how yellow they are, but so far they don't appear to be that yellow which I'm disappointed about.

Also put on some Lamin-X Clear Overlays to protect them. I worked with Lamin-X to get them to precut a set of overlays for me since they weren't selling them before. After testing out some sizes they now carry precut overlays for the OEM fogs.

 

One of the things that I also worked on during the install of the fogs was the removal of an Alpine CD Player that was installed under the passenger seat. When I purchased the car a few years ago, this CD changer along with a Pioneer amp were installed under the front two seats by the previous owner. Since I had to take apart the center console it was the perfect time to remove the CD changer. I tried removing the amp, but couldn't get at the power cables that needed to be removed along with the speaker wire.

The issue I have now is that the idiot installers screwed the devices right into the floor so when I removed the CD changer, and the same probably goes for the amp, it left holes going right through the floor. I can see the ground from inside the car.

I need to come up with something I can use to plug up the holes. I thought about using a soldering gun with some solder since the holes are small enough. Do you guys have any other ideas of what I can do to fill up these holes?

 

Waterproof caulk or small rubber plugs?

 

Don't know about the rubber plugs because I'd be worried they'd fall out after some time.

Caulk would require recaulking from time to time. I'm hoping to find something that is more permanent. One option I guess is to take it to a muffler shop and have them weld the holes shut.

 

Took a few pics yesterday...

 

Looks great!

Makes me want to do something with the 1G Integra rusting away in my mom's garage.


Oh, Yummy called and wants his license plate back!

 

vwong, the punk that he is, joked that I should clean my hi-beams.

The high beems look yellow because of the reflection off the yellow bulbs I placed in the hi-beam housing to replace the stock white bulbs. I recently cleaned and polished the lo and hi-beam housings because they began to get hazy again. Like I mentioned to vwong, gotta admit they don't look that bad for a 13 year old car.

 

looks really good man keep it up

 

Thanks guys.


Do you mean the one on the Avant, 'Audibot'?

 

Let me be more "punk"....plug those ugly holes, get an ITR front lip, paint those ugly side sills, then your Teg could be as good as mine was.

 

The Type-R lip, getting the entire car repainted and fixing a bunch of dents and pluggin' the holes with the license plate caps (which I already have) are all on the list of plans. Money is the only limiting factor right now.

I dunno about painting the side sills, they get dirty so fast cuz the car is low.

 

Looks better with them painted. See for yourself, http://vwong.net/images/integra/db8-009.jpg.

 

Added to list....

 

 

hey man, is it stock? can you possibly take a speedo video of you accelerating to redline in 1st? or 2nd? i have been trying to figure out if my engine has some internal mods because i pulled on a built LSVtec and the guy said i shouldn't be that fast.

 

Yup, the motor is stock. Will just need to figure out how to capture video while I'm accelerating. I've got an iPhone so the only issue is how to mount the camera.

 

maybe its just a weight difference ?

 

Looks nice

 

he drives a CX hatch as well. no weight difference. he made 220 dyno proven.

 

220 at the wheel? wow, he must be running some decent mods to be putting that much power down to the wheels. He's running cams and cam gears at a minimum huh?

 

DBEight = Aston Martin DB8, which is the first thing I thought of when I saw the plate.
I didn't associate DB8 with the Integra sedan body designation.

 

Ahhhh, yea, most don't know of it. In fact, most think the plate stands for 'debate'.

 

Wow - looking amazing. Integra's never go out of style.

 

The rubber plugs should be fine. Just find something thats a snug fit. The trunk has rubber plugs for drainage and they dont fall out.

 

Thanks guys.

Ended up picking up some JB weld today, now just need to give it a try to see how it does.

 

Looking great Sly! And I second the painted side skirts. I have them :wink: Loving your Raybrig OEM fog lamps! I currently have some nice PIAA lights but I will one day get the Raybrigs as well.

I just recieved an ebay Type R front lip replica off ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/250951559856...#ht_3008wt_941 But I sold it the next day on craigslist. I decided to chance it (for the second time) on a replica lip but the fitment is I'm gonna bite the bullet and either find a OEM lip or get the Wings West Replica (best replica) now.



I'll get some updated pictures of my GSR soon (I have new 17'' wheels - PIAA in light silver) , although I found a couple...

When I wet sanded / cleaned up my headlights:

every time I see this thread's title I think of this song

 

Yeah...most people (non hardcore Honda guys ) know this gen Integra as DC2, but failed to recognize that the sedan has a different chassis code.

And to all, please stop posting pictures of your DB8's. They make me want to find one as a project car, which I have no time and money for now. Also, make me miss mine dearly!!!!
