My DC4R build thread
 

So since my 2nd EG is going bye bye due to me needing a vehicle within the next 2 weeks for school/work and so much random ---- broken/missing from my EG I found myself another vehicle...but sadly not an EG, something better?

1997 Acura Integra GS
280xxxkm on the body
160-190xxxkm on the engine (was replaced in the past for unknown reason but pulls hard and doesn't burn oil)
Full leather interior
Power everything
Black on black tint/black leather
Ugly ass 17 inch rims but 15 inch Konig Maxair are being thrown into the deal (rota slipstreams for those wondering)
Everything else is basically stock

couple pics from my buddies facebook, but more to come of the progress...

Car just needs a safety (should pass though) and then plates

Plans: replica 1997 USDM ITR

PMR engine/ITR tranny/Apex'i WS2 catback
Full suspension setup (coilovers, front upper/rear lower control arms, sway bars/strut bars)
ITR seats/cluster/center console
ITR front/side/rear lip kit + ITR wing.

Pretty basic, keeping it simple but clean.

DAmn. sounds like a proper build. Good job !

looks clean. Great job!

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a type r?

No, this way is funner.

buying a type R is the easy way out.

Building one is fun.

the plans sound mint you building this yourself or u takin it to a shop?

Building it all myself, only thing a shop built was my bottom end since I was just in the midst of finishing 1st year of my trade school.

thats awesome man good luck with the build. ill see u around cambridge i drive a red dc thats in pretty ragged shape as of now

Oh thats cool...i thought you were doing this as a project to race or something.

Just seeing as how the chassis rigidity on the type r is considerably different then a regular integra it would have made sense to start on that platform.

But yeah if this is for a street car then cool beans...at least you can do it your way.

Its a street car/weekend warrior. Regardless, you can stiffen the chassis on both shells and have nearly the same results.

Most of the ITR's stiffness of the chassis is in the wheel wells and roof. Its just built slightly different. Ahh, it would be beast if you seam welded the chassis around the wheel wells and such. SICK

Hmm, I DO have a buddy that can weld ---- up amazing. Maybe he can fab up some chassis reinforcement to mount behind my front fenders and then we can rivet up my pinch welds for the unibody.

Thats what Im talking about!

For the hell me and a buddy of mine wanted to do it just to toy around with the Teg and see what we can get out of it. We were gonna do the wheel wells, parts of the roof, and so on just to stiffen it up.

You have a nice build going on man, keep it up

Is it passwordJDM selling those braces that go behind the front fenders? Their suppose to stiffen that front end right up! If someone can find it, lemme know.

roll cage or bust......

One finger in the front...yeee!

Lmao that is dropped looks good like the shot from behind.

nice that looks wicked

Get some amber or SI-VTEC corners and it will look noice from the front. Also some 98-01 tails if you dont have some

Not low enough.
There is no way you can fit your finger above my wheel, and i dont rub....much lol

sell me your leathers!

Link to where I can buy said amber corners!

No dice on 98+ parts, this is purely a 97 ITR replica.
