guys, i appologise in advance for sounding like a complete noob...but my mounting bracket...the bottom of it keeps falling out and occasionally the entire thing will just slide out completely (lilke when i burn out or launch) I have the best buy "turbo kit" for it and the bottom two clips dont seem to catch where they should...anyone have any ideas?

you talking about your dash kit? if it comes out, you did something wrong, or its a cheap kit. i can snatch the gears and mine doesnt come out. i used metra dash kit 99-7898, although 99-7892 is my favorite.

My Metra kit used to be loose and slip out occasionally, because the previous owner did a radio install and broke some areas of the dash trying to take it apart, and I couldn't mount the kit properly and securley. So I use a stereo strap to hold it in. Also makes it harder to steal, like 98_GSR said.

What is stereo strap/pipe strap? do you have a link to it?
I bought the dash kit at best buy, it used to pop out all the time. I finally got tired of it and just let it rest at an upward angle. I know exactly what you are saying samuri blue, the bottom brackets didnt do anything for me either, they didnt serve their purpose whatsoever.
when I got my system installed The place I took it to used a different dash kit and it is so firm in there.
the dash kits best buy uses are for all Honda and Integra applications, but not every car is the same.
The same dash kit is in my girlfriends Civic and it looks crappy in there too.
I think they make dash kits specifically for the integra, because the one in my car now is a million times better than the one I had before from best buy.

The strap that was mentioned is just a metal strap, that has holes that runs along the length of it. You cut it to length, bolt it to the back of the cd player and run it down the dash. You then find a nice spot to bolt the bottom of the strap into place.
