    i've had the car for a year now and i've done preventative maintenence such as oil change with k&n filter and quaker state conventional high mileage 10w30(i don't run synthetic due to the fact i don't what po ran), both axles, ngk plugs and wires, distributor cap,rotor and icm. changed the coolant and thermostat (due to it being stuck open)
    new magnaflow catalytic converter and dc sports exhaust i've never seen for my car(rare?),new all season 195/60/r14 on dusty gs alloys, fixed the passenger cowl leak, new blower motor,soldered cracked joints in climate control to fix the button lights and have effective vents lol,yellow fog light capsules,nardi shift knob,painted headlight housings black,bought a headlight and signals due to car missing them,bought carpet, removed sound deadening and resprayed it with undercoating and truck bed liner, new oem headlight sockets,cleaned and adjusted iacv and fitv, nrg wheel, quick release, and hub, wink mirror and a bunch of other little miscellaneous things. also, anyone know a good way to resize pictures?(sorry, i just cant seem to keep the quality though my pictures already suck haha)

    future plans:
    pull front since someone got in a fender bender(i have brand new bumper support beam and foam and bumper cover and signals in box)
    ground controls and koni sports
    all new suspension bushings/ball joints
    subframe brace
    decent wheels
    mild wire tuck
    fix rust and body for paint
    bouncing tach(most likely leaky capacitor within integrated control unit)
    icu
    replace rotors and bads at all four corners(4 wheel disc brakes) maybe hawk or ebc pads up front along with ss hoses
    grip royal wood grain
    ls-t(want to make like 250-280 whp on a street car probably on a t3/t4 and going to use name brand stuff but more than likely will be second hand)
    slid into a curb go like 8mph and it caused positive setback on passenger side and in turn i got a bent strut and fork,bent ucla,outer and inner tie rods, broken steering knuckle and messed my wheel bearing up.:/
    so she sits at my mom's house in lansing while i find another job because $6.93 and hour wasn't cutting it, and i go to a school for automotive tech(skills center basically) and have been driving out pacifica. i also have a twin brother named jonathan who loves cars. will update soon when it's not -15 out.

    trying to do this right.

    what's up guys, my name is jalen, im 17 years old and i drove a old beat up integra. it's a 92 and it had 134k on it when i bought it. very little rust, mismatch interior and no carpet.The po was a smoker and car just was in horrible shape. i was able to buy the car due to me helping my dad re-do our roof. he likes to say he bought my car, but i don't think he realizes that i've put more money into it than he gave me to buy it with. so i trump him in this regard lol. i got the car for a whopping $900 dollars. might i add it was the middle of november 2013 and it gets cold over here by lake Huron and i had no heat or knowledge about cars. onto the car:

Working...
