[champwht]

Well i just sold my champion ship white Integra. I've had my eg for a while now. I'm going to take it apart and rebuild the whole car and do a color change i don't know what color yet. I was thinking of an olive color like a green army color. Any suggestions? Open to any suggestions good or bad. My plans for this summer are going to be....

-Type R motor
-Type R seats
-Apex noir Exhaust
-Coilovers (don't know what brand though)
-Jdm Fenders w/side markers
-new headlights w/ amber corner lights
-Rota RB rims
-Carbon fiber Hatch
-When painted the roof is going to be painted black. Maybe carbon fiber roof.
-CTR sway bars
-4pt roll cage
-Gut the back end of that car. color match the trunk.


As of right now the car has on..

-vis carbon fiber hood
-carbon fiber spoon spoiler
-jdm yellow fogs
-8,000k Hids
-tenzo R racings seats
-RSX rear Black leather seats
-ctr lips kit
-SI rims

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe just get it resprayed, buff, polish. I love that shade of blue.

Thanks for the comments on the color. yea its a pretty cool color in different lights in looks purple and then it's looks complete black. it's going to be a while before i do the paint over. As of right now i'm trying to purchase a motor for it. once i get my motor i'm going to flat black the engine bay and do a wire tuck. Then i would redo the whole cars paint.

and dont screw up your roof with the black or carbon fiber

 

[mymmeryloss]

idk i might go with it i like how it looks from the front all black to the back. Here are some that i saw with the black roof i think it looked nice.

i think it's different for having the black roof kind gets some contrast between the colors which i like. as for this car is going to be turned into a well balanced track machine for auto cross.

As for the rims i thinking of some Rotas RB or Works Konig Screech 15x8 +13 , but i don't know what offset to run? I'm looking at some with like 13-20ish it's looks good. I'm going to be running 15's so. Any body got any suggestions? I'm looking for an aggressive look from the rims with a nice offset. Does anyone have examples of varies offsets?

 

[CHILD]

the offset kinda depends on the wheel width you wanna run and the brake setup you'll be using

 

[somejaykid]

keep us updated on the project man

well i'm going to run si disc brakes in the back or if i can find a 5 lug conversion. what tire would look good on those rims. i went stretched the tires out abit to get an aggressive look to it

Will do i just changed my front brakes. The rotors and pads were worn out to the bone. So i ran to my local auto parts store and got me some new ones.

This weekend i'm going to pull out my motor i got my self a GSR motor. But before i do that i'm going to paint my engine bay flat black and going to get rid of some lines that i don't need. A full wire tuck is going to be done.

 

[CHILD]

id try to go no bigger than 15's with maybe a 7in. width with maybe a +35 or push it with +32. that'll give you a nice stretch out of a 195/50 tire. wouldn't be too crazy or too little

 

[champwht]

So today i spent some time cleaning my hatch. Being that it had been sitting for a while now. So here are some pictures of how the car looks right now.
