Well somewhere lost in the threads is my other post about my car, but i figured what the hell Ill make a build thread. I have a 91 Integra LS a.k.a. The Gold DA, and as of right now it doesn't run. It has a miss on cyl. number 1. The plugs are brand new, wires are good, I got a compression tester to check that, I just haven't had time off work. If anyone hasn't read my other post about this car Ill put those pics on here also.
I got the car in Feb. of 09' with a shattered clutch, so it sat until I got my taxes in April, when I added the Exedy stage 1 clutch kit. it came with a 7lb. flywheel, no name adjustable coil overs, AEM shrot ram intake, Megan header, and a bag full of problems.
what it looked like when I got it.
Right after I got the clutch installed, the alternator, starter, battery, main engine relay, and cv axel took a shit on me. Not at the same time just in a 3 month period thankfully. (Just a lil side not NEVER buy reman shit from ANY parts store EVER! I went through 6, YES 6, starters and 2 alternators. There response, Quote "we just got a bad batch" !) As my luck would have it, when the alternator dose not do its job, it kills the battery, in turn no fire, so no go go. The car died on me and left me stranded on the interstate for an hour, until the lovely Mobile PD came and towed it away. $300 and a day later my dad picks it up for me. Changed all that and had it running for another week until, my tire blows and leaves me on the interstate AGAIN :evil:. So I picked up some gay ass 17's for $50 and run them
Notice the missing corner light? That's where a chunk of rubber came through taking the hood latch cable with it. Once I got all that fixed and it was drivable again, I drove it for about 3 1/2 months problem free until........a $30 tune up gave me, oil that was full of dirt and other random shit, and a repair bill that has now sent me over the 2 grand mark.
Any guesses where the other half is????
Found It!!!
*where it sits today*
I have bought a decent head from a guy I know but it is missing on the 1st cyl. like stated in the beginning. I got some ls mesh wheels for it and yes it is still gold. I had to change the windows over to manual due to fried wires, and I am looking for the driver side door panel. The carpet began to mold and I found out that there was a rust hole over the blower motor, so the carpet is gone (also looking for that), got bored while unemployed and the car was down and did half a wire tuck (just pass side), and I have fixed a couple of other rust spots. The car was also hit by a drunk Mexican IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY! That was a nice $800 check even though the damage wasn't bad, I just have to slam my hatch now. Well that's about it for now updates will come when they happen, hopefully soon.
