And I thought I might have went to aggressive at 16x8 et25 haha. Definitely interested in seeing how an Integra can get a -38 15x8 under the wheel wells.

It may not seem like much to some of you on here, but when it's just me in a small garage without an engine hoist or crane, just a bottle jack and 2 scissor jacks, it's one hell of an accomplishment. So now I've got to get it all situated, plug in all the sensors, relocate my battery, and tuck some hoses and such. Then just refill all fluids and pray to everything unholy that she starts when I turn the key.
Then I can do the fun mods!Last edited by RedHeadMetalHead; 07-07-2014, 09:51 PM.

Glad you're still going at it. Have you considered a b18c(itr) IM and ITR exhaust mani if you don't go with headers? Area51 tuning(real old school guys who were real big in building race engines for the street) would throw ITR IM's and exhaust mani's on a lot of their cars, including their race vehicles and a 200fwhp all motor pump(ca 91) gas EF B16a hatch.
Also, if you don't want to run a lot of camber with that low offset of wheel, have you considered doing fender flares?
The progress you've been making is making me change my mind about this for the most part.

ITR manis won't fit on the B20. Basically the same issues as the B18B/LS motors; the heads are designed differently, though the P8R head does flow better than the standard P75 LS head. I have seen people extensively modify GSR intake manifolds [for a Jackson Racing supercharger set up] to fit the LS heads, but I'd rather just buy an aftermarket manifold like an Edlebrock, Venom, Skunk2, etc.
However, I have thought about going B20Vtec. Got a good deal on a B16 head, and the thought of BWAAAAAAAAAAAAH makes me happy inside. The "speed" part of this build will begin after I get the "stance" part finished.
I thought about flares, but I'm not feeling them. They just look goofy to me on these older Hondas. I also thought about a widebody that follows OEM lines, but it's too Fast & Furious looking, even the subtle ones. I've only ever seen 2 Integras with this type of widebody, so maybe there are some that are cleaner, but I'm just not feeling it.Last edited by RedHeadMetalHead; 07-08-2014, 01:00 AM.

I kinda had an image in my head on the next steps of the build, and I didn't really mean for my first few posts to come off like it was "complete" so to speak. But progress is being made. I've changed my mind a bit on how I want to go about it, given financial limitations and availability of parts, but I have a clear end goal. There's a big show near me on the 10th of August and I'm going to have this car done before then. Hopefully I'll have some quality shots taken at said show.

You could check out the 15mm wider J's racing front fenders, but with shipping it would cost around $1000, but there are no matching rears D:
Since you seem like someone who is down to put a little extra work in, you could make your own OEM+ wider front fenders and rear overfenders. Since the car isn't drivable ATM, it would be a cool way to experiment around with different designs and such without breaking the bank.
Check that out.
Just remember to wear a mask so you don't breathe in glass shards when working with it.

baseball bat meets all deadlines............ i don't advise it on the fronts, only the rears. I went REAL slow and had friends help with the jack and it came out fine. as for the fronts, to get the 9's up there all i did was have one friend tug up hard on the fenders as i tightened them, and then just hammered the lips flat and pulled them by hand a decent bit. tire stretch helps tremendously with front fender fitment, i can get a credit card stuck in there, yet it rides just fine when it's not tire farting during slow, hard cornering.

That reminds me, if you go with fiberglass fenders, fiberglass would flex when the tire gets pushed up into it at an angle, and will prevent it from baconing if the tire hits it too hard.
See the flex?

Update:
Parts are coming in the mail. Got my compressor and other bits in.
Finally officially 100% totally definitely decided on a color for paint. Sapphire blue metallic from the 2014 Porsche 911. Pretty rad color.
Got a potential trade for my carbon fiber hood. Swapping for a metal OEM hood for a cleaner look. Don't worry, it'll be painted the same color as the rest of the car.
The motor is finally bolted back into the car. Maneuvering an engine and transmission on the ground without a hoist is a bitch and a half. I got the driver's side and passenger side mounts lined up initially, but the motor sat crooked. Turns out, everything is dependent on the rear motor mount. After a few hours of cursing and jacking the car up and down, I got it all lined up.
Now I just have to determine how far I want to go with this engine harness tuck. I plan on relocating the battery and fusebox. There's the 2 main engine harnesses on the side that need to be dealt with, however. I think I may just leave those exposed in the bay and tuck them at a later point [along with the brake and fuel lines] because I'm starting to go through withdrawals from not driving my car.
Wheels will be going on along with tremendous fender pull and some camber. I'm going for a gunmetal gray color on the wheels.
Minor setback: Driver's side aftermarket rear lower control arm went in fine, but the passenger side ended up stripping a bolt while taking the OEM arm off. Many rage. So cuss. Such pissed off. Wow.

That's a relay.lol
This one then the diagnostics test that gives IP profile for the line https://speedtestfast.com/broadband-...fi-speed-test/ First off you're talking about a specific set-up and that over WiFi. Secondly, large files are actually split into packets and then recombined.Last edited by topab; 10-06-2019, 10:57 PM.
