I know exactly what you mean, I will be doing future mods myself or at least with the assistance of the prior owner, as he is an Acura Certified Tech. It's not like I bought the car to save the hassle and time and money, it was for the whole deal, I mean a basically paid less than book value for the car and with it got over $3500 worth of mods. You make a good point, my sense of accomplishment for finding and buying this car is greater than I ever imagined!



I'm planning on shooting some HQ pics this afternoon, look for them soon...

< So, I have a dilema... what should I do about my "4dr92cavi4cyl" name? I never intended to keep it, then I got "AF dependant" so what to do, what to do... make a new account for the Integra and keep this one for cavy stuff? Or kill this account, make a new one for both and put "formerly 4dr92cavi4cyl"?

Anybody have a suggestion for a new screen name?
TwoNinetyTwos - Cavategra - Integralier...

Re: Uh oh, I bought an Acura!

Not to burst your bubble but the guy pulled a fast one on you, I assure you thats not a vtec motor or "head" its just the stock motor that comes in that car, from the engine bay shot it looks bad, wiring all over the place...just a mess I surely wouldent let this "technician" touch my car.

and honestly you overpaid, all those parts actually make the value decrease unless you actually find someone that wants that stuff then I geuss you got what you wanted.

didnt mean to burst your bubble like I said but I figured I should let you know about the whole "vtec" situation

Whoa! Thanks for pointing that out, it did say "1.8 with 2.0 VTEC head OPTIONAL" on the for sale sign. I missunderstood that. I just called him about it and he was selling the head separate. He said since it ran so well he didn't want to tear it down to put it on unless something else needed to be done. You are right, however, this guy was very honest about everything and I highly doubt that he "pulled a fast one on me." It was my fault for assuming it was on there... kind of a bummer, but now I know there's more that can be done, and I know what I have.

If you hadn't pointed that out I would have looked like an idiot from here on out... lol, if I didn't already! Thank you...

I have edited and re-worded the earlier posts because of this, adding Brand names to most of the parts in the first post, now that I have it and can see it for myself.

NEW PICS!!!

YES! That's about the only thing I don't like on the car, plus every set of Altezza's have a flaw and one always ends up with condensation. I like the lights, just not the chrome. Black or CF would be rockin'!

Re: Uh oh, I bought an Acura!

Took it Bristol, Thunder Valley, and ran consistent 16's, quickest was a 16.3 @ 85mph. What a blast! There were a few other 2nd gen DA's (Integra) with nothing done under the hood running high 17's. So I know that with all these bolt-ons it's more than a second faster than stock. Saw a 3rd gen Z24 run a 16.8...

BTW... IT"S A BOY! My son was born last week and is doing well, I'm so proud of my wife, I told her she made it look easy, like she had done it before. There's nothing I have enjoyed as much as holding him, and looking into the future...

Thanks for that, sometimes it doesn't feel like it though, lol.

He will know more about cars, computers and music by the age of five than his mother knows now. By the time he's 18 he'll have forgotten more than I know, haha!
