My new car + build thread

As much as I don't care for some of the things that were/are done to it, it's not about what our tastes and likes are; its about what you like on it. Just do whatever will make you happy and, mostly, will make you proud to own and drive a car that is unique to you. That's what mods are for.
Good luck!

I have had a few fast, well put together Honda's over the course of 13 years. Sorry bro, but your car is the epitome of rice. But if you think it's cool then so be it. But honestly your car reminds me of why I left my beloved Honda world.

The only thing I can see you guys thinking its rice is the wheels, tails, and possibly the exhaust (until you hear it of course). Everything else you dont like you wouldnt even see while I'm driving, so whats it matter. If my rims were different, you'd all probably have a different view of it.. But now that cant happen because the state wants nearly $400 of my hard earned money for bullshit reasons, this ******* system sucks

I couldn't tell if this thread was a joke at first ... dude ... wtf are you doing lol. Riced the hell out. Btw you do understand thats not a type r at all right? Step one should have been throw all the type r **** out immediately.
Step 2, why the **** did you get rid of JDM-esque tail lights and replace them with american made pieces of ****?
You mention its a 'work in progress' .... are you looking to make it even more of a pile of aged **** before you 'work' on it?
Major fail...
.... but as they say, one mans trash..

I already got decent love and hate on CI. Here it just looks like mostly hate, but I already knew most of you hate the Civic crowd.. Its a chance I took. And the stabilizers make the body more rigid. What do you think they do?
And I thought I had a pic of my new carpet mats I got
2011-05-31131236.jpg?t=1306872946
The old ones were old and faded and gross, and I was missing one. New set just has dog hairs
The tails I put on were to compliment the LEDs, as you can see through the tails and see the bulbs. Contemplating getting them tinted. I dont think I'll ever understand the comments regarding the reverse lights.. Too bright?
The halos go perfect with these style headlights, as they are already circular in shape. Plus you saw my old headlights.. Are you saying that my old faded + cracked OEM headlights are better than my new ones?
And its not like i chose those rims specifically, and stepped back and said, "yeah, that looks real good". They arent horrible in my opinion.. I've seen much worse
Currently I'm looking for a complete ITR lip kit. I already have a 98+ rear bumper to fit the rear valances

I mostly hate the taillights and rims. You could expect this criticism from a RX8 site when you are showing off an older honda. I don't hate hondas, I would have painted it, cleaned it, blacked the taillights, got some small used rims + springs.

But its just the front bumper that needs to be fixed up.. The rest of the paint is in decent condition. Its not perfect, but its not horribly faded and peeling.
Car already has a great suspension set up too. But the police dont like tinted lights at all here, its a tough judgement call I'd have to make for that

Hey man, your on a RX8 club board, what do you expect? I was a mod on a Honda board for many years, you would likely get flamed even worse there.
Opinions are like ********. If it were me, I would have addressed the mechanical first. Start off with a good solid tune up, timing belt/water pump change, brakes, and then paint, body, and wheels. Next would be suspension, then lighting, and lastly interior.
Every car needs a good solid plan if it is a "work in progress". Otherwise it is just another POS that will never get finished. This goes for all cars, I have seen a few RX-8's owned by other members that are riced out pieces of **** too.
But judging by how you treated your RX-8, I highly doubt this Integra will ever be deemed clean by me.
Oh, and you cannot have a great suspension setup running anything OBX.

I don't know that many others care about a build thread on a ratty ls integra. If you came in here saying you were building a swapped track monster out of it and actually built something, you wouldn't get flamed. Instead, you're posting up a bunch of $15 dollar mods that really do nothing to a car that has no link to the forum you're posting on. It's not a dislike for the honda crowd, it's dislike for tasteless mods made to an unrelated car by an immature kid that contributes nothing to the forum.

Totally subscribing to this. Wanna see how many times he can say "******" or "gay" and hope to win the forum over with his bowl of awesome. Glad, for his sake, he isn't in Boston.

As if calling one person that is ok... word? It's the same level of maturity that made you think you could beat a speeding ticket in a court hearing AFTER having trashed your car while speeding.
Back to the integra... For what you spent in headlights, tail lights and parts from your friend you could have gotten that bumper painted. Maybe sell the ghetto blaster subwoofer too?

I just can't bring myself to comment on your "new" car, so sorry to see your 8 get mangled though, always hurts to see another yellow go down, so why didn't you try and find another one? 8's can be had for next to nothing these days, especially 04's like the yellows.

But yes, back to the teggy.. Could have, should have, would have, it all comes out the same in the long run. What if a plane crash lands into my car while I'm sleeping? lol rare, but it could happen! Then the effort would be a waste.. Thatd go for every other car, **** happens i suppose
I remember a long time ago here, somebody told me I should fix my ugly dented bumper instead of whatever thing I asked about...... Now look where thats at. IMO im so glad I didnt repair that.. For just the fender, not cheap..
