just thought i would throw up some pics of my car up here for the perving eye of the integra enthuiast! this is when i first got her home:
will be updating this thread as i do more and more work to her have a fair few plans so keep watching!
not me in the pics!
ive had her for 7 days now,im thinking of keeping her oem if i can resist temptation(from what i hear engine mods seem pretty fruitless for the money i dont have shed loads of money to pile into this type of activity) so the project here is too start cleaning her up and doing small bits of detail work on her,and in the future am looking to do some track days so i guees a few things shall be altered!
after the 2nd day of ownership i decided a good service was in order so replaced:
spark plugs
leads
fuel filter
oil filter
millers 5w 40
flushed engine through a couple of times and drained until oil came out like it went in.
this seemed to make the car run a wee bit smoother and the vtech to pull nicer through the revs.
4th day
i began to feel a bit of vibration around 1'700-2'000 rpm,and a small blow from the exhaust, so put her on the ramps and had a wee look there was a small blow on the rear connection with a good clean and a wee tighten a the use of a small smear of gum gum the blow was iridicated! when i was there i replaced all of the exhuast rubbers but also noticed my drivers side front what i think is gearbox mount? any codes or?needs to be replaced due to a crack in the rubber.
5th day
after looking in the engine bay noticed the strut bar ends were getting a bit rusty so have whipped the end pieces off and have now been sandblasted cleaned this with a bit of loctite to remove any residue and resprayed these graphite grey(will post some pics up)think they look quite nice now if i dont say so myself! :lol: :lol: when i took the strut off i noticed a wee bit of surface rust under the strut bar ends so will be rubbing this down and treating with rust inhibiator then spraying back to champ white can i buy this in rattle can or?
today:
just gave her a good clean today clayed her down,used some auto glym deep shine,then a good coat of auto glym super resin polish,then finished off with some collinite 476s wax just as i finished the heavens opened!!
will get some pics up of her new shinyness when i finally get some time!!
i wish i would of taken some pics when i was doing this to do a proper update from now on i will take some as i step by step it.
cheers for reading my boring post!
