This is my 97spec jdm integra that was purchased from Mike at R-motion late last year.. as i have always wanted to build a EK9 OR DC2 Mike gave me the opportunity to buy it, so after a quick view of the car and a chat about ideas i decided to take him up on his offer even though the car was in bits... As the car is not yet complete i have decided to post up some progress photo's of the story so far. i will be posting up new photos as progress continues along with a list of parts/spec. Parts so far include a mixture of brand new OEM parts and refurbished parts, anything that could be saved was. the build also includes a set of buddyclub race spec coilovers and a gen2 mugen airbox. under the car the bushes/mounts/links/arms/hubs/bearings are all new and even the STEERING RACK, and most nuts and bolts. paint wise, shot blasted back and treated with red oxide and underseal so i am hoping of many years of rust free ownership. all brake and clutch lines are also new. i will more than likely keep the car as O.E.M as possible, bar a couple of goodies. I have been toying with the idea of a 98spec hub and brake swap but i think I'm going to stick with my guns and keep it stock. the current milage of the car is 56k miles, so while the engine has been out its been treated to a new clutch and timing belt, along with oils.. the engine is also being treated to a acid wash to remove any oil and deposits. the car should all be done by the end of march so in the mean time i will update this as soon as i can. enjoy

I received a picture message saying the car is done and running.. ill be making a trip to R-motion soon and ill take a few more pics. phone quality isn't the best

 
With the car finished (mechanically) the whole car will be getting a full re-spray with the JDM 98spec bumper and hopefully a brand new set of OEM headlights.. Ill be aiming to get it 100% complete for japfest in may, but I'm not sure it can be done right now. still have many more parts to come so will update again once they arrive
