Nice man it will be sweet to see this thing get built, I need to fork over the cash next time a good deal comes my way, I passed on a mint 240sx from and old couple for like 2500 with low miles I kick myself everyday and then a integra that my buddy donated before I heard he had it. Do you have any ideas bout what u wanna do yet?

are you doing a jdm front end?

YES!

Oh gawd not another jdm conversion integra

I don't know about where you live but around my parts there's only 2 front end converted tegs, yes they pretty much flood the internet, but in real life they're more rare on the east coast.

no more!! dont be another cookie cutter integra.

It'll probably seem kinda cookie cutter the way I wanna build it but I'm gonna try and un cookie cut it. I'm gonna do some things differently.

Yeah man, I know what you mean about passing up good deals, I had done it before but for some reason I knew this was the time to just go for it. And plan wise, I want to gut it (daily drive it with nothing but a dash, center console, and 2 front seats inside. No carpet, cause I think it looks sick), JDM front end conversion, K20 swap, wire tucked, slammed, w/ lower offset wheels, power steering and a/c removal, paint, and some obvious stuff. I'm going to make it as un generic as possible. K20s are the big thing now, but back when I planned out my dream integra they were things that only ballers could get their hands on... but I still want to build it like the dream in my head.

JDM is very popular on the west coast. Little kids and ricers loose the concept when it comes to JDM. I'm just less of a fan, because it's so abused these days. Just look up "JDM" on craigslist and see what you can find.

I wonder if the Japanese kids are converting their cars to USDM.....

and yes there are a lot of "JDM" inspired integras with the front end in oregon and washington. I'm more of a fan of the real type R. I'd rather just buy the car and import it here if I had the money to do the conversion on a USDM model, with the front end, engine and everything.

I still support your build though, I just think it would be cooler if you left the front end normal and maybe retro some cool projectors in the front with some nice fogs in the bumper.

yeah..."spo-com" movement...


ive seen a couple cars done from that state...uhhh...how do i put this nicely...unless you have about $20k or mad hookups itll be a nice engine in a **** car or a **** engine in a beautiful car. i personally would never touch a car like this (theft recovery? project stripped and sold as a shell? junked?)...

im just sayin...look at the "future plans" in most Member's Rides threads...how many come true for something as simple as a turbo setup or even an oem lip kit? obviously i wish you the best...its that everyone has big plans but so few come true...

Ryan swoops in with a reality checkmate.

It could go somewhere, but something more rare/in better shape is preferred. I bety you paid less than $500 for the whole thing
