Figured I should make one of these since I do plan on driving my car at Summit Point next year for at least a Hyperdrive. So I need to start getting it ready.
First things first, some details about the car.
Currently Its pretty much fully stock. 1996 Integra SE (Special Edition) which basically is an LS model with Leather and a spoiler.
The motor:
b18b2? (ill have to check) 140HP at the flywheel
152k miles, however the head has definitively been rebuilt at some point. I'm guessing the timing belt snapped on it.
Brian Crower Stage 2 NA Cams
Stock Valve Train
Ebay Stage 3 Clutch
Stock LS Trany (which makes me wanna cry every time I shift) No grinds but the gears are TOO LONG.
Busted Rear Mount, which I have a replacement for, but no place to do it at. Might just end up paying to have it replaced
The suspension:
Fully Stock, except for the front struts which are KYB Gr-2, got those because my front ones blew out a few months back and I needed something quick.
Brakes, craptastic Midas or some other factory cheapo replacements.
Rear rotors wrapped pretty good (to many drift attempts in the rain) :twisted:
Tires are Kumho SPTs on Koesi K1s 15" 205/50 Summer
Craptastic Sigma Sucky Winter Tires
My Plans:
So far, I plan on doing some sort of brake upgrade. Thinking Redrilled 4 x100 ITR rotors, I have to read up on this conversion but I think I can use stock Prelude Calipers and pads for this? Needs some direction on where to go brake wise. Would rather stick with something that doesn't make me get new Wheels.
Suspension, I plan on purchasing some PIC Performance Coilovers, I still plan to drive this daily so I won't go any stiffer 10k fronts 8k rears. Again open to suggestions on this.
Once I get a place where I can actually work on my car I'd like to get all poly bushings and new control arms under the car.
I need new seats, the ones in it right now are from a 97 Prelude which I Ghetto fitted in there before I left Texas. They are hold up fine for now but I notice they are slowly getting a gangster lean due to the weld that is holding them on one of the corners. I'd like to get some sort of Racing seats, but I need something that reclines and is cheap of course.
As far as looks go, the car needs alot of work, last i counted it had about 24 door dings, 2 big dents and a big wrinkle in the rear quarter. The clear is coming off on the roof, hood, and its already gone on the spoiler. So looks wise I plan on just keeping it like it is for now. Might consider a light wetsand and buff, or a front lip.
So thats about it for now. I figure I need to work on the suspension and brakes before anything else. If I have enough money around spring, I might consider getting a Blox Intake manifold and some sort of header. Exhaust I'd rather keep it stock, because I like quiet but I figure I do need to open it up some for the track.
I know a few people on here have done the Intgera route on the track. Hoping to get some good insight, as all my background is from drag racing.
