Noob Build Questions
To start with I know that there are all you guys that are subject matter experts that can search everything on this website and find all you need or at least know it all(literally). But I don't and am currently deployed so I don't have much time to sit and search so please bare with me.
Okay now that that is out of the way here is my situation: I used to own a 2006 Acura RSX Type-S but sold it once I got married and now I have a 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP. But now both my wife and I have deployed and have our bank accounts sitting pretty fat I have been granted a 10K budget for a project car and I want to do a third gen Integra. After much picking of the brains of those around me I wanted to get opinions and advice from all you that have and/or know about this certain car more than those around me.
Currently I am thinking of getting a third gen with a good body and good interior and do a B18C5 swap from hmotorsonline. My buddies have been telling me that prior to installing the package that I should throw in solid motor mounts, short-throw shifter, a four or six pad clutch, and light flywheel. I have future aspirations of boosting the car but not in the near future so I was thinking of having a list of parts that included an intake, intake manifold, headers, cat back exhaust, and lowering springs for the time being. Looking at the near future Tein coilovers, sound system, and a JDM front end conversion kit from hmotorsonline.
Pretty much what I am looking for here is from your experience to let me know if I’m headed in the right direction and/or what you would change or certain preferred parts. Thanks for all your time and help, look forward to joining the ranks again of the DC’s
