My 94 Integra LS build thread!

[redrocket]

Thanks, and I forgot to mention if anyone is in Arizona and looking to get their car painted, he is good and very reasonable.

very nice and looking forward to seeing future progress. as for your question regarding seats, you could always get your stock seats rewrapped or a set of recaro's never fails

That's kinda how I was leaning, having my stock seats re-wrapped and doing Black leather with red baseball stitching.

Nice DC4. Looks way better now. I agree with nugget. OEM re-wrapped seats or Recaros would be dope for daily driving. Buckets if you're going to track it.

Looks amazing man!

Love the fresh milano

Added a few new back on the road pictures!

looks really good man whats the srt10? is that the truck?

Looks like youre putting the right foot forward. Its not that the paint quality was bad, it was probably the lack of effort your family put into taking car of the paint, i.e. washing and waxing every couple of months, at least.

I highly doubt you will be able to pull that 500HP you want with a super charger. They top out much before that number. If you want that, you are going to have to go the route of a turbo charger, and you WILL need to build the block if you want that much power. Also remember, our cars are FWD, so that much power pulling the car along, instead of pushing it, will give you a ton of wheel spin. If you are daily driving it, you will not have good traction on normal, decent-high tread life tires.

For interior, I would suggest (if your interior is tan) to swap in black interior pieces. As for the seats, you can get ITR Recaros for the rear, and either ITR Recaro fronts, or S2000 front seats. I think the S2000 seats need a bracket fab'ed up to get all of the holes to line up.

Here is the SRT-10, its basically a Dodge Ram with a 8.3L Viper engine. Probably the best truck I have ever owned or at least the fastest!

I think you are completely right about not taking care of the paint on the car, it totally makes sense.

Ya no way a supercharger will put out 500 ponies! My friend had a 2000 GSR in High school with close to 700 HP. He spent 23K on the motor, I'm not sure but I think it may have been the first of its kind for that time. He also swapped a H22 into a 91 accord in 98 which I am pretty sure it was the first in Arizona. Anyways I just remember rolling down the freeway burning the tires at 75MPH and killing any car and any crotch Rocket 800cc and under. Was so damn fast and fun (But Stupid) I was just hopping to have a piece of that power again.

The Supercharger just intrigues me for some reason but usually my rule of thumb is 4-6 cylinders = Turbo / 8+ cylinders = Supercharger

Thanks for the advice on the S2000 seats, I am going to check into that.

you might also want to look into getting raised brackets made as well. s2k seat rails/brackets sit flat and flush to the ground so you will sit a lot lower then you would on stock/recaro seats.

That's good info as well because I already feel like I am sitting low in the stock seats.
