looks cool...i would get rid of the H on the hood and drop that car...
damn 85000 miles, you can drive that car around for 120,000 more easily..

[88accordhb]

not bad, get some rims.

[Busted_Blue]

that h...im not feeling on the hood. But 85,000 what do you drive then!?

[maxoutracer]

what's the deal with the hubcap, atleast get oem or wheels, hehe...

[ryotto]

first of all yes it has low miles thats because my parents had the car since 1993 and well small town+hardly any roadtrips=low miles, then they sold me the car last year.
when my parents had the car they had the hood painted black like that but had "LX-i" in the corner. so when i got the car i took the "LX-i" of and put the "H" on.
I dont plan on keeping the car for much more than a year because its a slow auto and i want a manual. so the hubcaps from K-mart will have to do because im not sticking more money into the car

[PortugalFocus]

I'm not a big fan of the monter H on the hood....

Love your 3G, embrace your 3G, realize your 3G can run faster than soem new cars out there today.

[ryotto]

ok so you guys dont like the H
I think the H looks cool on there
my car is slow its best 0-60 was 13.0 sec

[mzabeefy]

I think the H looks cool on there also.

[bullard123]

I think the Honda emblem looks pretty good on there. I like the uniqueness. As for as it being a automatic why don't you just do a 5 speed swap??

[ryotto]

i was thinking about a 5 speed swap but it might not be worth it.
ok i could sell my car for probly $3000 and put that money twords another car.
im thinking a 94-95 acura integra gs-r witch would be about $6000
a manual swap would be like $1500 right?

and for lowering it i cant, because up here in north dakota we get alot of snow. and i already got stuck twice last winter the way it is and with my toyo observe winter tires(that i leave on all year round)

[mr eff]

the trim looks like it's in great condition as well. these cars are reliable and workhorses... a mid90s integra (especially a gs-r) would just get stolen in like 3 days. i'm exagerrating, of course, but that car is at much higher risk. not to say i wouldn't want one though

if you were around here you wouldnt be too far from the truth. Civic SI's are almost guaranteed to be stolen within a month.

[Luis 89LXi]

window trim looks awesome !!! i'll try to paint mine as soonn as i get a chance. Nice car.

Luis

[ryotto]

like i seyed i live in north dakota and crime aint to bad and im not worried about an integra getting stolen.
i'v had that sound system for about 4 months now and dont have a car ararm and has'nt got stolen yet. and i leave the backrest part of the backseat off so the bass can pass through easyer. and people could see i have a sub in there but i still have it. so like i seyed crime isnt to bad in north dakota.

the side molding trim things got repainted black last year and the window trim was recently repainted. on the drivers side rear side window on the bottom i tryed black silicone sealent on the bottom and sanded it. but it did'nt turn out as good as i thought it would. it looks nice on the pic but in person it isnt smooth.

tip. if repainting the window molding because the black stuff chiped off and chrome is underneath sand the chrome with rough sandpaper to scuff the chrome so the paint will stick. the first time i did'nt sand it and the paint chiped off right away.

[Robs89LXi]

Too bad you have to sell it, it looks pretty nice. Since you live in North Dakota though, may I suggest.....hmmmmm.... A TRUCK! :)

[howndamane]

yeah the H is strait i dont know why everyone isnt feeling it, its something different. cant see the spoiler too well but it looks strait too. like the system by the way, could you list everything you got hooked up to it?

[ryotto]

well ill probly have the car for another 2 years. i like the car but i want a manual. im not really into pickups.
yeah the H is centered and strait but looks crooked in the pic.

they system includes:
Optima yellow top battery
100 sq ft of fat mat sound deadener in the doors and truck(2 layers)
head unit:Alpine CDA-9833
Subwoofer:Elemental Designs E.12.A.22
Sub amp:Avionixx AXT.800.2
Speakers:Infinity Kappa 60.5cs component speakers
speaker amp:Rockford Fosgate Power 351s

sub is getting about 950watts rms
speakers are getting about 90watts rms each

[ryotto]

i was thinking about a auto->manual swap. so i went to this place called honda plus and asked how much it'll cost for the swap and he seyed he'll put a manual tranny in my car and take my auto tranny and it'll only cost $1000
but they dont have any manual tranny for my car yet.

so i might do a swap and keep my accord.
im getting attached to that car and dont really want to get rid of it.

plus in north dakota it's hard to find nice affordable integra

[88LXiHB]

Is that a Honda? Cause, I... I just can't tell....

[89cordlx]

install those front speakers correctly.

[ryotto]

I had to install the front speakers that way because that was the only way they'll fit. i had to use 3/4" mdf spacers too

[offthahook]

Not feeling the H or the front speaker mounts, but it is hella clean. Looks good!

[Bloodlust]

Nice, another white coupe with maroon interior. I thought I was the only one :D

I would have thought about size before buying them, but thats just me

[ryotto]

ok i edited my original post. I added more pics and resized all pics and added another link.

[rally88lxi]

I think the H is flippin awsome. Keep up the great work, and maybe someday you could do a manual swap. :rockon:

Thats what mine is, i thought thats the only way they came, j/k

[BITESIZE]

I don't like your hood, but you can do the 5 speed swap. :)
