JDM DC2 Integra Type R 98 Spec
Championship White
Purchased this in July 2014 with the idea of using this as a daily so I keep the K's down on my Golf MK5 R32. Always wanted a 98 Spec Type R, anyways, I started tinkering away as you do, and started cleaning the car like a mad man. Pulled all the trims back and cleaned everywhere; literally. Then came the problems, RUST, LEAKS from the tailights (common I know) and a randomly bent front left suspension arm which left it with a permanent 3 degrees of camber on the front left whilst all the otherside has 1.5 degrees camber. So the issues with the car started to mount up which in turn made me have buyers remorse! So then came the bright idea to turn return this to its former glory with a bit of flare. Decided to continue on the path of building a daily driven / track attack car / garage queen. So far this is what I've done! I'll make sure to keep it updated as the progress comes along
