well i have not been here in a while since I have been busy with the new project but still check out the site every now and then and have noticed EM1's getting upgraded to new rides!!! and even downgraded like I am doing I guess!!! well I picked up a 95 gsr integra and after driving it for a couple of days I really dont feel like it is a downgrade other than the year of the car. it is actually a nice car but needs alot of attention!! well let me introduce you guys to my new project car here she is sitting in the parking lot at the bodyshop a couple of days after I got the car!!!
I will have more pics later today. The car actually had an ITR wing but i prefer the car wingless but I have been having second thoughts and might take the wing to get sprayed just in case I change my mind!! well I am having the side moldings removed as well as the oem badge holes and all emblems will be removed as well. as far as the license plate holes I am having the covers painted as well to cover those holes in case I get hasseled by the PD about no front plate!!!
Well I could not help it and went with Champ white AGAIN!! I really dig CW tegs and I am picked up a set of AXIS OG"S in gold with a polished lip. I am a bit nervous about the fitment and never thought I would get a set of wheels with a lip but i just fell in love with the look of the wheel!!!! considering my budget on finishing my motor I did not have much room for volks so I went with these wheels I was actually looking at buddyclub P1's but changed my mind.
as far as my motor I am taking it to the shop on monday for assembly and will hopefully be in my ride soon but turbo will probably be in early next year. let me know what you guys think and more pics will be up very soon.

I forgot to mention that I did pick up a ITR front lip that is getting painted as well and I do plan on dropping the rear once I get the car back. Also on the to do list is remove the tint and instal a rear wiper delete kit.
as far as the interior goes it is really clean, stock but clean!!! Black interior FTW!!! I also picked up a JDM cluster as well as a JDM climate control and other parts that go with it. seats will be replaced later on next year with recarros.
i like it i use to have a EM1 but then i had to get ried of it after hitting that deer now i got a hatch with a built gsr and let me tell you i would never have another b16a again i dont think cause it dont matter how much money you stick in it you anit going to get the tq like you do with a b18c but just my 2 cents nice pick up

well here is my teg as she sits today, I traded the OG's for some gram lights!!! yeah Gram lights came back into my life!!!! But I am going to get rid of them because I dont want to look like my old ride or I might get them powder coated white!!!
well the motor is in minus the turbo which should be in begining of next year. well let me know what u guys think.
-it feels like i'm in a time warp back about 10 years O_o
-the problem is your bumper. someone rear-ended something pretty hard with that car. the pix make it look really obvious that the front bumper is pointing down and bulging a little into the fenders
