SE Sedan Rebuild
Purchased this car on 1 OCT 15. After my last Integra fell apart years ago, I decided to avoid Hondas for a while. Considering the price however, couldn't resist buying this car. Original intent was a winter beater so my truck can spend winters in the garage. That has quickly changed into a project build. Thankfully the engine was well maintained, so it'll make the process a lot easier. Just have to fix the current issues and be patient.
It will stay auto. It will be all-motor.
Issues with the car:
- eBay exhaust
- eBay sleeve overs
- Honda rot (in the usual places)
- Tires are meh (and 14")
- Calipers are meh
