not digging it mate sorry. looks 'cheesy' imo and the ride height is terrible haha.

lowered on the standard wheel finish would have been superior.

Fair Comment.

When i put the wheels on i was thinking what have i done. But its growing on me. Much better than the 17" EP3 Wheels that were on before.
The car is off the Road for the Winter and will be getting lowered within the next month. IMO will look much better when cleaned up and lowered. Needed to get the wheels on so it can be moved into another garage.

World would be a boring place if we all liked the same things :D
 
Well its been a while since the last Update.

First off, with the winter hopefully coming to an end. i have managed to get a lockup with a friend, and so last week i got the Teg Transported from my Girlfriends house.

Some Pictures in the Garage:-

Also recieved my Rocker cover from Spooner (Cant Thank enough amazing job) Fitted That with no problem:-

First Job was to Renew the Bonnet Catch, I had been sent the wrong one but was just missing one spring so made a good one out of 2.

So removed the Front Bumper Again:-

The Eagle Eyes Among you will notice i removed the Air Con while the Bumper was off, for some reason when i bought the car there wasnt a belt on the A/C compressor so i thot it was shot. I found out this wasnt the case when i levered off the pipe to the condensor :)

Ordered, a Kevlar Intake Pipe, Magnetic Drain Plugs and a Decat Pipe from Tegiwa so those will be next on the list to be fitted :D

Also have Springs waiting to be fitted see how she sits Fingers crossed it wont be too low. Along with a Carbon Fibre Spoiler. Hoping to get a Full Service done on it also including Gearbox oil, Timing Belt and Rear Trailing Arm Bushes.
 
UPDATE:-

On Saturday i made a start on getting some major bits and pieces done to the Integra, First off was making a start on Lowering.

With The Front already up in the Air i cracked on and got both struts off without any hassle, new springs on & Struts Refitted piece of cake.

The Front Suspension came apart alot better than My Old Civic Jordan, which put a massive smile on my face thinking how it was going to be an easy day, How wrong was i :(

Some Pictures of the Front:-

With the Front Of the Car Lowered i thought id strip the Brakes and Give them a fresh Lick of Paint as the Previous Owners had made a pretty poor job of painting them Red.

I didnt want to go Red again as i thought it would clash too much with the wheel and so i opted for a Gloss Black.

More Pictures:-

And Thats where all the Fun Ended, While stripping down the O/S/R the Last Bolt decided it would sheer off and leave me stuck, so now i have to try and remove the whole LCA without Sheering another Bolt :( Lowering Progress will have to wait.


Comments Please :)
 
it's starting to take shape, when you have it back on the road,i'd get longlasting tyre dressing, to darken those tyres. health to drive mate
 
wheels would not be my choice atal, think they let your car down lad, i prefered your jordan it was very nice:)
 
lookin good man bet you cant wait to get it on the road:D
 
I love ITR's, your looks good too.

I do like the silver wheels you had on prior, but with your new springs the black wheels look better, but still like the color combo of the silver wheels with black painted body.
