    Hi from Thailand. My ride is a DC2 maxed out NA setup. Tip from me is to seam weld everything head to toe. and a full cage. Chassis done, move onto suspension works. I use a Mugen setup with a MUGEN FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM setup and Function 7 rear Lower Control arm. The Mugen front control arm was straight out of the race series my shop had in the back. Reduce as much weight as possible but keep it balanced with the same ratio front to rear. I use carbon fiber. Everything from Roof to fenders and hood and lips to bumpers and doors. Glass is heavy so lexan. Engine just went through TODA cams C2 set and valve trains and springs Pistons CP or Weisco. Over bore is great if your block is beefy. I go with 85 mm pistons. Transmission really made a difference with a 4.929 final ratio with the TYPE R gears. Sure you lose top speed, but acceleration is boosted in all gears. Brakes, are important so try Spoon Monoblocks up front and switch in the DC5 R rear calipers. Wheels go with some Mugen or Spoon for light weight or until they make Carbon rims in 16s. That's my ride. Can also check it out in Honda Tuning Feature a few years back or at my FB page Lertsiri Boonmee

    I knew we had something in common, the typeR is on my bucket car list. I would help someone kick a bucket for one…..nah. Yeah. Side note: exhaust is all about the resonators and type of materials used to make the piping. Heavy gauge tube, in stainless, with proper resonators and high flow cat is the business for a daily.
    Rods, bearings for rods and mains, buy thrust bearings too, springs and retainers for valves, and cams. NA school out.

    This integra experience is a slippery slope. I got a 5-speed GS a year and a half ago and next thing I know, I’ve got a spare donor integra for it and now I have a 3rd integra GSR that’s sucking up funds. Naturally aspirated with new suspension, intake, exhaust, clutch, flywheel, motor mounts, timing belt, water pump, AC, and power steering. Oh new seals across the board.
    Under the hood looks great, body looks like a hooptie 😂
    Very enjoyable driving experience.

  • @MrGrentch
    @MrGrentch Před 7 měsíci +2

    The R's weren't seam welded, that's been repeated so often it became an 'internet fact', but nope. They did get thicker steel pressings in a couple of areas like the shock towers and extra spot welds in a few places and extra bracing.
    Upgrades? _The very first thing_ I would install is a limited slip diff. Totally transforms the car(and any other FWD).
    Second thing I would do is replace all your bushes. These cars have more than a botanical garden and after 20+ years they're almost certainly buggered. I would avoid poly in general and go OEM(or spoon/mugen if you've got deep pockets, or hardrace which are cheaper and very good), but especially in the rear, as Honda patented a design to passively increase toe in to stabilise the car under braking/cornering, which is one reason why they're so good in the twisties. Polys would take that away. Fresh bushes will also transform the car.
    Then I'd be looking at intakes/exhausts, (actual)cold air intakes. You can actually do a fairly good DIY job using the original air filter housing and some PVC pipe run down to the bumper area. I wouldn't go nuts on spring rates, 8kg in the front, 6kg in the rear sorta thing. That's for more daily driving/more like the original R setup, only more. Thicker anti roll(sway) bars make a difference too, either third party or used JDM ones if you can find some, JDM 98spec on are the thickest.
    Agree on the 15's. 16's are cool, but far fewer tyre choices and if your roads are any way crappy not a good bet. it's one reason why non JDM Integras stayed with 15's(very smooth roads in Japan). Though for some odd reason USDM(and Canada) R's got JDM Civic Type R wheels. Only go 16's if you intend running upgraded brake calipers like Spoon as 15's won't clear them.

As of now, it would be a summer project car, and i would probably do cams, rockers, springs, pistons and piston rods, cylinder head and an improved oil pump, so i can get into those high rpms. Also probably do a turbo kit with it all, is this a vialble option? Or should I just try to find a GSR? Also, I can't find any cam kits for the SOCH B18B1 that comes in the LS trim acura integra.

    I was thinking about getting one of these and working on one as a project car. One thing I see in the comments of this video from owners or previous owners is that these get stolen. I was wondering is theft something that’s common with this car ? Or should I look at an entirely different platform altogether ?

      theft is sadly very very common with integras you definitely want to invest in a kill switch and if you run a quick release a quick release lock as well as other security measures

    No mention of the rs trim? No ac no cruise control no sunroof no power locks and the same rear rotor diameter as the type r haha, no vtec but lighter my stock rs beat a stock gsr only because of weight

    The girl I should have married when I was 17 line hit me a little too hard. And I had an Integra at the time.
