Had a very enjoyable outing at the recent JDMYard track day. Yonas and I run similar times so we had a couple of short chases...unfortunately the weather didn't quite cooperate and I wasn't prepared to drive close to Yonas when it started to drizzle.
A couple of older but still current pics of the Integra as it looks from outside:

Next mods are probably going to be a track oriented set of coilovers and Lexan windows...speaking of which - has anyone done Lexan windows on their car here? I'm trying to justify a ~$1200 set of professionally formed windows from the UK...or in the spirit of "cheap and cheerful", DIYing a set myself.
The side windows won't be difficult - it's the rear one I'm concerned about as it curves on three planes. The main curvature is of course on either side - that is easy enough. I can live with the front/rear plane being flat and can perhaps cheat a bit by elevating the corners to reduce the diagonal curvature (the third plane). The thing is, if I don't get the curve right, there will be distortion...not that it's going to be a big issue.
Why DIY? Well...Lexan scratches easily and the car is kept under a cover outdoors = lots of scratch and rub marks. I think you see what I'm getting at!
