Hey people this is my build thred for here now...i have a 1997 Acura integra GSR.it was all OEM stock.i bought the car with 142,000 miles on it and ran super great.i have owned the car for 2 years now and i love to travel so the miles added up fast and now the car has 190,000miles on it.I knew my engine was due for a rebuild but i know i didnt want to go stock.its took me a hole year to see what i wanted to do with my car and engine.i found this shop called laskey racing to have my engine done by them so after calling mike and talking to him and 7 other shops i still went with laskey.The pricing and the parts being used and what was in the package i just couldnt pass up.I am doing somethings on the car show kinda but yet it will hold up on the track.i love full road corse racing and now i wanted to do it with my car.well here are pics to start things off with i hope people like what i am do and if not then i guess thats to bad my car lol.

the time has come to start on my integra.i have owned it for 2 years now and been thinking for along time of what i really wanted to do with the car.im staying N/A.The engine build will be done by laskey racing.here are some pics from tonight of what i have started on the car,noting to big but all in time it will look great.

NEW PARTS










update today not that to many seem to care at this point about this build im doing....? but anyway i got the ABS pump,lines off,clutch line out,engine harness and little brakets that are held on with 10mm bolts...i didnt know a car could have so many 10mm bolts! also took my A/C reciver out and rest of the lines.head lights are off.also dropped the front cross member as well.also got the engine packed up and SHIPPED OUT!





























update,today i got everything around that i am getting poweder coated.i started working on taking off the rear trailing arms and what a pain in the ass that was.everything is broken back there but thats ok new things will be put in and will be good for another 12 years :) here are some pics...oooo also got few new parts and things i picked up









being replaced with skunk2 lower control arms


yea this isnt good and will take a min to fix



these arent to bad but replacing them


New parts!


well this is what i did today and that break everything or fined out what was broke.my OEM bushing were so rusted to the bolts they would not move at all.also my driver side rear brake line,someone befor be didnt use a brake line wrench on it and rounded it off so there for i ended up breaking it so now i need to get a new fitting and reflare that side.not to big of a deal but just something more to do.my rear trailing arms are junk! all the OEM welded on bolts broke off and also when i took the bolt out it bent it becaues of the bushing being so rusted.now i really know why my car crap on the road well here is some pics








JUNK!










some of you might think i should just fix my rear trailing arms now but it would take more time then its worth trying to cut the bolts out and what not and of top of that my OEM rotors are frozen on as well.

small update,i got my seats,dash out today and got the wiring pulled inside the car now.










might put it here....?

To the top with OEM parts

[97redjetgsr]

update with no pics.I started pulling off trim on the front windshiled and it was bad day after that! when i pulled off the top trim there was a little rock that got caught under the trim and it scraped the edge of the windsheild and CRACKED IT OOO WAS I PISSED so that ended the day right there for damn sure.so tuesday i have a new windsheild going in and costing me 193$.dose anyone think i can claim this on ins with my car being on storage fee right now?also was dum dum and found out that i missed my plug that you time the car with and ended up cuting them 2 wires for it (dont do wire work at 2am with no sleep) so now i gotta rewire that back in not to big of a deal becaues the dash isnt back in yet or heater back ( i was lucky to see it befor i did to).also order more parts from honda so they will be in 2 to 3 weeks.for now that is it going to work on it some more tonight lets hope things get better :)
