Cvcrcr's project/fix-up thread (version 1.1)
Hey guys..................
The Civic is pretty much done for
. It is just sitting in my driveway at this time waiting to be sold. I will probably end up keeping it over the winter to just drive it at least until I get my new car up and running 100%.
Good news, I didn't leave the "Honda" family.
Picked up a 1998 4 door Integra GS sedan with a B20 swap and a JDM FRONT. Car is painted championship white and is almost flawless exterior-wise with exception to a few scuffs on the lip and a scratch here and there. No rust. No dents. Yes, actual paint! ITR front and rear seats, too. Beleive it or not, this is my first non-vtec Honda I have owned. lol
It needs a few things, but nothing I can handle. Rear motor mount, rear suspension, tires, exhaust has a hole somewhere, and a VSS sensor. So yea, it will not pass PA inspection yet (drove to MD to pick it up), so I am lucky to still have the Civic.

Post up some pictures man!
^^ask and you shall receive 





She needs cleaning and the lip needs some paint
The rest of the car is all the same color!!! The picture might not show it the best since the camera sucks.
I am also being told that those wheels are the rare 96/97 JDM 4x114.3 typer R wheels (before the ITR was brought to the US and changed to 5 lug)
No interior pics yet, I will work on getting a new project thread started up soon. This thread will remain open until I sell the car.

The Integras should be 4x100, but this has been converted. With the ITR front and rear seats, and many of those faux CF parts that came in the ITR, sounds like someone was trying to build a replica or something.
is it a fiberglass front end conversion? looks like things aren't lining up all that well. Otherwise, looks great! what transmission is in it? factory LS tranny? What are your plans for it? Pretty pumped to see a db7 build on here, I've been wanting one lately...well, preferably a db8 but those are hard to come by and often expensive for what they are.
sounds like it needs a little work. I'd get a nice set of coilovers on there asap! Glad you didn't leave the honda crowd.
one last thing - whats the interior like, space-wise? I was wanting a db7/8 because my civic hatch is a little cramped, especially in the back seat area (I haul my kids around alot). Is a Teggy sedan going to fix my back-seat woes, or should I look into a newer generation civic instead?

Plans would be suspension re-done, clean up the trunk area (all rusty and gross on the inside where the spare should go), clean up the engine bay (wiring nonsense from the swap), and find the few little missing interior pieces. Headunit from the civic will be transferred into the Integra, along with the speakers, too. Nothing major at all. Been there done that. I wanted db8, too but like yourself, I didn't want to spend $6k on one that had like 190k on it and needed work. This one will do just fine.
Interior actually feels smaller than a Civic. Well at least compared to my coupe. Compared to my brother's 4 dr sedan Civic, I would assume it is about the same.
I am sure that a new project/fix up thread will be started by the end of the weekend!

Looks solid man! im pumped to see what this thing turns into. but if those are the real 15 inch 4x114 ITR wheels then yeah those are pretty legit, the conversion itself is a decent amount of money too.
edit- sorry for clogging up your thread with all these pointless questions and ramblings. I look forward to the Teg's build thread!
