Updates on page two.

I'm gonna clean out and spiff up my new car and give you guys some good comparisson shots. I just found the cord for my buddies digital camera so i figure it's as good a time as any. Here's a link to the cardomain site of how the cars looked for the past year.

I'll update this post as soon as i get pics up tomorrow or the next day.

You guys aren't gonna belive how good this is turning out to be. This is the best $1000 dollar car i've ever bought.

you're gonna regret those dropzone springs

Yeah, the shocks are shot too. So when i replace those, i'm gonna throw on the Neuspeed springs from the rex. Should raise the car up at least an inch.

Blaamo!!!! No more flashy interior.

Here's a comparison shot.

And here are the new stockers.

I went to the junkyard today and picked up a bunch of much needed pieces. I got a valve cover bolt, but i still have to get the broken off end out of the head. I got a replacement pop-up cup holder.

I painted my valve cover black.

I got the vents that were missing from the sides like this.

And i also got a new guage surround so it doesn't have all that crinckly paint.

nice work brining it back from the edge

In this pic you can see how my buddy half painted some eyelids on the lights.

However, while spraying the glass with paint stripper, i got some on the plastic corner lenses and it ate at it a little. So today i ordered some JDM amber style corner lights off ebay.

I took a little detour to walmart today and got a pair of GE silverstar headlights. I also got 4 new coppercore spark plugs. Should go well with the new NGK spark plug wires i got from a dude on tri-state tuners. I'm also debating with myself as to how far i want to take this project. I know, come spring, i'm gonna get the car re-painted after i do a bit of bodywork.

I ordered front and rear strut tower bars off ebay the other day. Today i agreed to buy a new cobra radar/laser detector off a guy on tristate.

I've got KYB AGX struts and ground control coilovers on there way to my house right now. As soon as my tax return comes back in late Febuary i'm doing bodywork. This is what my goal is.

thank god. When i saw the word "stealthifying" i was expecting a car rattle canned flat black. I was pleasently surprised.

charliemopps24 · #13 (**permalink**) December 22nd, 2006, 01:14 PM

Today i bought an MTX Thunder 4000 12" sub in a sealed box and a Rockford Fosgate Punch amp(model RF2002). Should sound real nice once i get everything hooked up. I'm also gonna buy a 4 pt lower frame brace.

looking good, are you gonna do an engine swap or you keeping the d and building that up

charliemopps24 · #15 (**permalink**) December 22nd, 2006, 10:01 PM

No i'm not swapping, too much money. If my engine ever quits, i might go for a JDM D15 vtec but that's about it.

Transparent · #16 (**permalink**) December 22nd, 2006, 10:10 PM

coming along nicely

stjohnscrx · #17 (**permalink**) December 23rd, 2006, 12:19 AM

cool cool

Well, yesterday i finaly went with my friend to get the title switched over to me. So, his mom handed over the keys and i pulled the car into the garage. Time to get wrenching. My master cylinder and slave cylinder came in the mail the day before yesterday so i got plenty of work to do.

carboncivic · #19 (**permalink**) December 31st, 2006, 12:48 PM

Looks real nice. That's a $1000 well spent

charliemopps24 · #20 (**permalink**) January 1st, 2007, 12:51 AM

Hey, i need some opinions. My d16z6 has 244,000 miles, should i get a JDM D15B vtec longblock off hmotorsonline.com, or should i buy an engine rebuild kit? If i get a rebuild kit for a d16a1(88-89 integra), and use 2 headgaskets, it'll raise my compression ratio to like 12:1. I think I can still run pump gas with that right?
