Some pics of my 2000 Acura Integra LS Racecar

[03birel]

Whats wrong with Rota wheels? They are good cheap track wheels. Anyone who races knows that you will bend and break many wheels over a season. Why by expensive rims?

I agree about the diff. I would never have spent that much on an LSD. However I did not build the car and this is not an off the shelf Mugen LSD. It was custom built diff for this car. The car was built by King Motorsports who is a Mugen dealer.

I am just trying to share some pics with the forum and for those whom are interested. Believe what you see or not, I dont really care. I dont know why you have the attitude Jasper.

Sounds like jealousy to me lol.

Nice car.

I am still in love with this car.

Rota wheels are just fine to race with, there are full teams that run rota wheels only, and they do just fine.

Not bad? That's a well put together perfectly executed full-race car, what do you mean not bad? And please explain what is wrong with racing on Rotas? A lot of people use Rotas on a track, racing is very abusive to parts and wheels break all the time. We've had this discussion over and over, wheels will break no matter what brand they are/what material they are. You can race on a $3k set of Volks and if you hit curbing just right, hard and fast enough they'll damage also. Rotas might shatter, Volks might bend, but in the end you need a new wheel.
I agree, Rota does make some wheels that are blatant copies of other brands, but be straight, these are not some cheapo chinese knock-offs. All of Rota's wheels go through rigorous testing and meet rigid QCs.

Built by King?sweee!!!

Anyways, don't let this guy get to you, there are very few(1-2) people on this site who are douchebags. And most of the time if they take it too far, or act like big enough dicks, they get banned. Don't let him set your impression of this website. Dude is usally cool anyways... You're one of the few people on this site who really race, and to my knowledge, the only one with a fully built, track-only car. Stick around a while and be sure to keep us updated on progress and results of the season!!

THANK YOU! You're right there are full racing teams, professional and factory backed who run Rotas! There is NOTHING wrong with Rotas, just ask any Subie guy

surprised its still non vtec..but very nicely done

LS/Vtec conversion will be my next upgrade. If I can find a decent head for swapping. The good thing about running the non vtec Integra is race classes. Honda Challenge H4 is only for non vtec cars. An ITR head would bump me up a class. Also in SCCA I run with mostly other 4 bangers. A head swap would bump me to ITS which would mean 6 cilinder BMWs and RX7s as my main competition. I am not sure that even with the extra power and RPM it might still hurt me more than help me. There is always the turbo option. LS motors are great for boost.

How can you possibly discern whether i have an attitude or not based on what I posted on the internet? My typed words carry no inflection or intent. Sounds like you are guessing about my attitude.
Rota wheels are pieces of shit and will never be on one of my cars. There is some attitude for you. I can afford SSR, Work, Spoon, Volk and Mugen for all 3 of my cars. I buy quality rims that are forged, not cast.
There is only one part number for a B series mugen LSD and it doesn't cost 4000 bucks so i'm not sure who fed you information, but they over exaggerated. For everyone that likes your car and your parts, there are a few of us who won't. Grow some skin and stop whining.

Buddy, I hope you know that most of Work's wheels are cast.

And you're a fucking dick to say some shit like "I can afford..." you're not any fucking better than anyone else on here. What an asshole thing to say.
