I don't get how a stockish Integra isn't "pratical", and spray painted wheels, especially OEMs, look like crap.
Welcome & don't ruin your car with anymore 'mods' like spray painted wheels.

Trust me I would never do such a thing. That Is how I got the car all riced out. I am still in the process of trying to find a good deal on stock wheels, air box, and suspension. And that integra was built and riding on skunk 2 shitsprings was bouncing like a motel mattress.

Lets not confuse how struts work with how springs work. Your struts were the problem.

Strip the stock wheels you have.

Learn how a car is "practical". Your Integra was very practical. What are these engine mods that you've spent all your money on?

Anyways I like clean cut cars and ones that the doors shut with a nice thud and I know these aren't stock but its a work in process. So here is my car. I am in the 757 area mostly south side wave if you see me. And yes I know the painted wheels... Thats how I bought the car. I just ran out of spending money rebuilding the engine so I can't really afford stock wheels quite yet.

This was when I had my integra. It was a fun car but needed something realistic to drive everyday. Why I bought a 2000 stock off the lot accord.

Anyways let me know what you think!!

You ran out of money "rebuilding the engine" and couldn't get some wheels? Stock wheels at $500 at most. I really want to know what your definition of "rebuilding the engine" is. Because you people (honda kids) tend say you "built" a car when all you have done is bolt ons.

They were actually the coil overs that were god awful, but thats what came with the car. And It was a fully built gsr. The rsx however I wanted to have running before I cared about looks. (I go for function before looks) And if I still wanted to live comfortably with out being broke this is why I didn't buy any wheels (I lost my job after I rebuilt the engine). I also did try trading them on here, k20a, and clubrsx for some stock wheels and a little cash but things didn't work out.

Define "fully built gsr" and built engine rsx please.

thanks.

Gsr- built head(sent to the machine shop, ported polished,cams, 3 angle valve job etc) bolt ons of course, rods, pistons, sleeved block, crank and for the k20 It had a spun rod bearing and messed up the crank, 2 rods, and most of the journal bearings. So I went ahead and had it rebuilt back to stock using all oem parts from Honda/Acura. I pulled it apart to find out what was wrong with it but I had to pay someone to do all the work and to put it back together. To factor that into the costs. Oh and that picture of the gsr engine bay is before I had any of the work done as you can still see the stock intake manifold.

EDIT: And I'm also not in the Honda game as I don't want to now nor ever be affiliated with it. I'm in a honda training school and I can work on my own car in class if it is a Honda. That is why I buy them.
