trying to do this right.

Your car isn't junk man. Everyone has to start somewhere. Not everyone can go out and buy a clean as fck platform to build on. The whole reason I went out and bought a ratchet as shell was so that I could actually build something. Everything will come together in time man. Mad respect for you bro. Keep doing what your doing.

Hahaha lolol. Yeah I'll be updating this thread soon once I get a job... And good things will come...Haha I hope

[jalenda9]

Thanks man. Means a lot. To me haha because that's how I look at it but most kids around me don't know what it's like to try and build a car. All they know is "rimz" and limo tint on their Windows ruining decent cars. But again thanks man and I love your ek and x3. I'll be lurkin

[SnazzyQ]

Looks like a good start for something really bad ass.

And also $900 for an integra? damn and I thought my car was a steal lol

Subscribed to this thread for more integra madness

[jalenda9]

haha thanks man. yeah suckily(not a word) it hasn't gotten as far for the 1100 i've invested just to get it in running shape. it's been a lot of little odds and ends though haha. i also wired up the horn so if anyone needs help with that i can help you lol

No problem man, well just keep doing what your doing and keep a positive mind set. Thanks man the X3 will be going to a new home very soon lol and as for the ek still waiting for the wheels and the el front clip to come in.

subbed, has alot of potential!

For what it's worth, it's less expensive than you think to ship wheels cross-country, so don't feel like you've got to stay local in your search.

QFT shipping wheels cross country for me has never exceeded $150 dollars including materials and such. Most sets (especially in his smaller diameter) shouldn't exceed $100 dollars cross country.

GL with the build OP!

LOL WUT Reread what he said.

Thanks guys. It's been really cold here in Michigan, not the coldest but makes working on the car difficult. So , I may buy the parts for my car and have someone else do it because I don't have a garage for starters and I don't even have my car with me. But we'll see ....But thanks guys.

I know I was considering reps, but I saw this set of wheels called racing beats and I love the way they look on these integras. So new wheels may be coming once I graduate and get tax money back and have a job lol. But thanks guys.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Are you referring to the six-spoke Racing Beat RB-02s, or are you looking at something else?

[jalenda9]

Yep those are it. There really out of my budget but I love the way they look. There is some on eBay right now for about 1100 and some on g2ic for 1200. I'd get them for mmy photo shoot wheels haha. i just think they look cool even though the 4 by 100 configurations are not wide.I would think you could get step up lips since they are 3 piece wheels. I don't know, I don't know a lot about wheel refinishing.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Be cautious with RB-02s. The first iteration of them were quickly pulled off the market for severe cracking issues, and did not receive DOT approval. On any wheel you look at, look for either JWL/VIA or TÜV approval. Any wheel made outside the United States that you'll want to run will be approved by one or both agencies.

It looks like the ones you're looking at are for sale by Memoryfab, which is a decent outfit, though it does look like those particular wheels sold recently. I believe RB-02s are two-piece, so if you're serious about finding a set to rebuild, you might ask Memoryfab whether lips and barrels are available, and whether it's the lip that's welded to the barrel or whether it's the face that's welded on these, if they are in fact two-piece.

[jalenda9]

Thanks man for the info rmation I never would have knew so I appreciate it. Yeah man I'll check and see though. I couldn't remember if they were two piece or three wheels.

She's still alive. I'm working on getting a job soon. I turn 18 tomorrow so hopefully I can start getting stuff for the car again. But here she is in her current state:
