Nizmo's build thread
 

Hey everyone, i have finally decided to make a build thread. For anyone that doesnt know, i bought a 1999 Acura Integra RS/SE. Its in minty shape with no rust. The pervious owners took VERY good care of this car and thats the reason I bought the car. Everything was maintained on this car with only Acura parts and was installed by Acura tech's. The car came with all the maintanence paper work, rust-proofing reciepts and OEM parts that were replaced by performance parts. Here is what the owner before me has done.

Engine:
Stock B18B
K&N Filtercharger intake system
JDM Integra Type-R Full Exhaust
DC 4-1 Header
Castrol Syntec oil changes every 5k
NGK Blue wires
NGK Platinum plugs
Water Pump
Timing Belt

Suspension:
PIC Select 12Kf/10Kr damping adjustable coilovers
Megan LCAs
Integra Type-R front tie bar

Wheels:
15" Rota Slipstreams in bronze tires

Exterior:
8000k HIDs
Replica Mugen lip
Clear corners
Crystal clear headlights

So lets get started on what I have to work with:yeah:

Here is what the car looked like when I first picked it up....

Pretty sweet ride to start with, and now here is what I have done to it so far.....

I tinted it 30% all around and put on a set of meshies w/Kumho rubber.

I love the mad tyte JDM sick type R yellow intake hose. mmmmmm horsepower.

Not bad.

Thanks for the comments guys! I have done some work today and have some things planned for this week. Post pics later on

Your car is my goal!

I cant wait till im as mint as you.

Really awesome man

I like the slips better than the meshes.

Nice work Ryan looking forward to the process of this car.

**UPDATE**

So i painted the tattered and chipped wiper arms, VERY happy with the turnout. Also, David and I went to the junkyard(again lol) and picked up an extra arm rest, which will be re-done in black suede with red stich. Going to be starting on the valve cover as well this week.

Keep you posted on the turnout.

Nah im hardcore like that...wall's are my bitches:lol:

Hahahahaha I like that one. I may do the same thing. I also need to paint my wipers. It is so shiny that is blinds me sometimess :eek:

Except when i get involved....then ryan becomes the walls bitch lmao. the floor was worse when he painted the intake pipe...and our apartment smelt like paint for days! but im glad that he is keeping it as stock as possible.... now just to paint the rear calipers........ better get on that!

Once that wall went black...it aint going back. BAHA


Car looks awesome as always man, keep it up

**UPDATE**

So i have finally finished a few things.

I went over to a friends house yesturday and worked on the Teg. We completely disassembled my PIC coil-over suspension. We cleaned and degreased it and changed the height on the car too. Looks much better now. Also mixed up the dampening a bit too...btw, this suspension OWNS ALL!!! Also in the pics is my buddy's SR20DET powered 240SX....:eek:

Nice work on the teg. I'm going to paint my VC very soon too.

Looking good once again Ryan keep up the good and hard work :) and try not to paint the floor when doing your valve cover :giggle:

HOLY FACK!!! OOOOVVVVVVVEEEEERRRRR

***UPDATE***

Well I went out and bought a pair of headlights because although mine look ok, I just got laid off and have nothing to do at home lol. Here is the before and after shot.

Attachment 11304

Sanded them

Attachment 11305

Finished!!!

Attachment 11306

also, i painted my VC. i will put pics up soon:)

Just snapped some pics of the VC i just painted. It looks darker in person but let me know what you think.

This is the paint i used, and yes it does wrinkle which is different.

Attachment 11301

Heres the finished product

Attachment 11302

And the famous.....WALL!!!!!!!!!

Attachment 11303

Sand off the Honda letters and you'll have some noice looking letters.

SICK man, that wall is MAD dope.. OH YEA, and the VC too. Loool jks jks

Where did you get that paint

I plan to when its fully cured. Most likely it will be done tomorrow. I will post pics when I install it

Crappy tire, in the automotive section. They have different colored wrinkle paint there.

sickk....lol the floor got in on the paint action this time

sucks to be that wall lol

as soon as i came home ryan showed me the vc and i had to ask which part of our balcony was red!!!!!! its never gonna end!

digging the wall lmao, vc looks great.

Still down to get rid of your other headlights? I need some bad, mine look like your 2nd pic... I have no idea about the process involved with "wetsanding".

Haha, lookin' good man. Nice to see the same disregard for walls, and floors as I do when spray painting stuff.. I wouldn't worry about the paint that probably blows with the wind off the balcony either ;)

Look up on the DIY section. There is a write up there. Its a piece of cake. It pretty much removes all that haze out of your headlights and makes them crystal clear again, which improves look, and Ill say also improves light output

ps: my bad if it shows that your post was edited, i clicked edit instead of quote, loool.
