    A new dd for while the accord is under the knife

    So as many of you know i got my hatch up and running just for a blown headgsket to creep up... while one broken part after another and a toy from mussleman came in the mail. it will not be drving anywhere for a while... come next tax seasson i will be build 2 new motors for the accord... one as a stock smog motor and another as a go fast turbo motor.


    in the mean time i had to pick up a dd. and this is what i ended up with.

    So i snagged up a 1994 Integra ls tonight


    As for the Teg its Faded red with a few mods already done. need few things as well figured id try to get some pricing and such before i start buying off amazon and such...


    4 things for sure i know it needs.

    1st is a windshield, found a place local called speedy glass that has one installed at $200 with nation wide warranty and lifetime chip and scratch repair.

    2nd is a front bumper found one on amazon for about $90 shipped Amazon.com: Evan-Fischer EVA17872015832 Bumper Cover Front Facial Plastic Primered With holes for air license plate round headlight and turn signal light: Automotive

    3rd is a set of corner lights as one is missing. amazon again has them for about $40shipped Anzo USA 511020 Acura Integra Chrome Euro w/Amber Reflector Bumper Light Assembly - (Sold in Pairs) : Amazon.com : Automotive

    4th A catalytic converter there about 180 shipped off rockauto

    those are the must have to drive to work...


    the things it does already have.
    full exhaust, headerse and muffler. not sure on brand but I know its there lol
    It has a short ram intake. and a few brand new parts on the motor like the distributor and a few sensors and parts on the intake mani.

    suspension. its lowered on some springs i haven't looked for a brand yet and has drilled and slotted rotors all around.... new tires on what looks like some 14" honda hx wheels
    Short shifter as well.


    Looks like 147k and some change.. Took it for smog today and it might have a gutted cat or a test pipe installed. But it would not pass as it stands.. We did a pre test at the smog shop. My buddys recommendation is a new cat so thats where i will start .. It runs smooth and idles well. I can fell it needs a transmission or motor mount but What 19 year old car doesn't lol

    Sweet. Once you get the Accord built, are you going to give this one a cold, too?

    Re: A new dd for while the accord is under the knife

    Cool cars. Why does the caster look way odd on the teggy? I thought it was the angle of the one pic but then there is another pic it looks the same, wheel pushed back into fender, is there something missing on the bumper cover?

    Re: A new dd for while the accord is under the knife

    had an odd sound coming from the front end the last week or so figured it was axle or cv . but the sound wasn't a click more of a thump.... yesterday it got real bad.... like w/e it was had broke or came way loose. got home had my dad listen while i took it in front of the house he pops the hood looks at it cant tell, we jack it up and he plays around with the tire a bit and then notices it was really loose. and now missing a lug stud.. turns out 3 of the 4 were completely loose. including the one that is now missing. so i bought 16 new lug studs and ill be going at them in the next couple days....

    Yikes! You can lose a wheel that way and then you either spend a bunch of money or scrap the car. Glad you found it before that happened.

    Re: A new dd for while the accord is under the knife

    ya but now i have to pull the hub or notch the knuckle in a place so i can swap the front lug studs. im leaning towards notching so if it happens in the future i wont have to pull the hub again.

    Re: A new dd for while the accord is under the knife

    A buddy of mine was driving down the freeway after getting his car out of the shop. He looked over to see a wheel bouncing down the road ahead of him before realizing that it was his wheel. By the time it was all over, what was left of his car sat in his garage for a few years before he finally scrapped it.

    Just remember, if you hear a "cloppety, cloppety" noise while driving, check your lug nuts.

    With regard to notching, it depends on the condition of your wheel bearings and ball joints. If they need to be replaced, then now is the time to do it. Pull the knuckle and replace it all at one go.
