Well decided against my moment of weakness and switching to a domestic and found a Integra. As usual most of the crap I found was way over priced and a lot had issues I didn't want to deal with right off. Found this one on craigslist listed for $5k even about 4 hours away from me. Got him down to $4200 before I even drove up there and another $100 once I got there. Most of the other LS tegs I had seen were going for the same price with similar or more issues.
1999 Integra GSR 125k
Things that will be getting changed ASAP:
OEM tail lights
Different exhaust, maybe OEM style. Under load the exhaust is so loud I can feel my brain vibrating. At least it's deep pitched I guess.
Hopefully find some black/gray interior for a decent price to swap out the tan
New shocks, it's slightly lowered on OEM shocks. The springs don't feel bad for cheapness and rides like a caddy compared to the Rex.
Came on 17" rims with new tires. Will try to trade someone for some 16"s
Has a small patch maybe 5"s on the roof where the clear coat is faded. Other than that the paint and body are great
Remove the mesh grille, red Acura emblems, and stickras
Get a OEM air box with K&N drop in and get rid of the short ram
Here are the pictures from the ad. Was too dark to get any when I got home.

good deal if the motor doesn't need a rebuild.

From what I could see it didn't burn or leak any oil. He said he noticed a little bit of oil on the head and had a mechanic check it out and it was coming from the vtec solenoid gasket. Probably replace that and the valve cover gasket when I redo the valve cover. Will do a compression test when I change the spark plugs out, so hopefully will all be straight.

the b-series is famous for leaks around the vtec seloniod and cam cap

Car like that here in Indiana with no rust really goes for about 600-1000 more.....Sir I think yous gots a deal

I would have bought it. Nice deal
Id spray that lower grill black too, but its obvious you are going to de-rice a bit.
IMO the tan aint too bad id probably rock it cause im lazy and tan dash with black seats wouldn't sit well with me.

Nice car. Those things are saxy! ;D
Here it still worth 7000$+, so very good deal :P

Easily, here in toronto that is a 8500 car all day long , I have seen them as high as 11K on trader.ca
I would be worried about how hard it has been beat on with all that rice shit, nice to see you're taking it off.

I think the title sums this up.

i'd skip that list and go right for a rhmt turbo set up

Tim has a little T3 he'd probably let go for cheap... Grip a cast mani from ebay, DSM bov, and other cheap shit and go at it...
125k miles isn't bad at all...
Good price. I paid more for my 1995 Civic EX with more miles (a few years ago) and didn't even get cool stickers and sweet taillights.

Yeah that's one thing I was worried about. I might take off the GSR emblem also. I was more worried about the EM1, but no one ever messed with it. Luckily there isn't much car theft around here.

I thought about spraying the grille black also. If they cut out the OEM webbing to install it I will probably just do that, if not then it will be getting yanked.

Good find! I've always like that model Teg.
Now go throw a t25 in it for true failure :yes:

What happened to buying a VW?!
Integras are terrible! High insurance, ugly, classless. Douglass, you disappoint me! :-\

It's pretty bad when a VW lover has you dead to rights.

Nice buy. For the cheap you can spray the tails with red candy apple from the hobby store. Looks like you got a good deal. I paid 2k for my 99 civic, you can get a teg for the same $$ down here all day long

shoulda got a ls1 camaro

Yeah I thought about that for the time being until I locate some OEM tail lights using my Jew skills as arsenio would say
that's about the going rate for a riced gsr around here. clean ones go for double that.
good find, i guess.
Yeah things price out different big time depending on where you are. Here riced out LS's will run you what I paid for this one. I already had a guy at the gas station today wanting to buy it. I could take off the stickers, spray the tails with some cheap craft paint, polish it up and probably sell it here for $5k.
shoulda got a ls1 camaro
I was looking, but couldn't find any that were price worthy. I could have probably found a V6 model and picked up a LS1 out of a junk yard to swap in less than half the cost of actual LS1 equipped car.

This is Dollar store logic. are we really about to have a "Not having ABS is safer and better than having it"
Im gonna go out on a limb and say that its a better setup than the braking techniques used from the 70's.

Yeah, this was why I asked.
If you "know how to drive" and don't need it, great. I don't see how it'd hurt to leave it. Would rather find out I don't know how to drive by the ABS working than asssume that I do know how to and end up fucking up in a real world scenario.
When people are involved in unexpected situations they're a bit more likely to slam the brakes than when in a controlled situation attempting to prove they don't need ABS.
-
the whole"Knowing how to drive = knowing you pump brakes for non ABS vs just slam and hold WITH abs" is just plain retarded. thats just knowing what options your car has. Ive driven both and panic stopped both and never had an issue either way.
-
Could always just pull the abs motor fuse, that way when you go to sell or trade it in you get a higher value from the extra option that everyday folks look for. What I did in my 93 ex
-
I still dont get it. if its in the car why would you disable it?

I'm with him. Still seems about as pointless as removing airbags.

It's downright terrifying in icy/snow conditions. Car is totally unpredictable braking. It's probably good for someone that doesn't know how to drive in the snow, but I'd rather have direct control over my braking, especially in the snow.
-
We rarely have snow here...and when we do I try not to drive to avoid others that can't drive.

My abs started acting up so i pulled the fuse, has a much better feel now.

On the way home I noticed a few times that the rear right brake was squeaking/scrubbing. I decided to go ahead and replace the brakes today. Drivers side rear came off and went on without a problem. Still had a ok amount of pad left. The passengers side was a different nightmare.
The pads were completely gone and the piston was seized out. I tried my damnedest to get the piston to go back in, but it was bending tools and not moving. Ended up just buying a new one. Saved $15 for going ahead and ordering the front brake pads with the caliper purchase so looks like the front brakes will be changed as well.

-
Wouldn't turn at all?
-
Wouldn't turn at all?
Nope wouldn't budge. Probably been seized for awhile. The drivers side pads were about half left, the passengers side were down to metal. I had hoped to be able to rebuild the caliper since the rebuild kit was only $4.
-
Drill a hole in the middle of the cross part, tap, thread in a bolt, and try to turn it :P Fill hole with jb weld.
-
Oh and I thought about how the ride sure did feel nice and comfortable and didn't feel too bad at all. The ride height looked fine for me and I love being able to go over bumps without feeling like the front end was being ripped off. The "cheap lowering springs the previous owner put on" that the guy mentioned turned out to be H&R OE sport springs. Glad to know I won't have to mess with them so that made the caliper issue a little more tolerable.
-

Na I already placed the order for the new one.

I hope all parties involved know those pistons get twisted in, not pressed.
I actually had to dick with mine AGAIN yesterday (2 long stories). This car is so rusty it's amazing, and as much luck is - all the fucking outter seals are gone. So...I made a fucking tool for it. 1/2" socket with an "L" bar welded on. Breaker bar makes short work of frozen calipers. It's a whole lot cheaper than rebuilt calipers. I was going to post it up anyways, since I'm so smitten with it.
Anyways, good score with the springs. My car ended up with some Eibach sports like that too, makes for such a nice yet low ride.
-
Got the new brakes and caliper on today. I tried to just bleed the wheel I removed the caliper on, but it was still way too soft. I then went through and bled each wheel in order per the helms. The brakes pump up and feel really firm with the car off. When you start the car they get softer and the pedal goes down a good bit before you get any stopping power. I didn't have any air in the lines so i don't know what it's problem is.

my mom's car is the same way. brakes great, no air in the lines, just the pedal goes down further than i like
I don't know, I don't recall the brakes being that soft before the repair. I would have noticed it right off. I don't like brakes that you barely touch and they engage, but I don't like ones that go down and feel spongy either.
Master cylinder?
I thought about that. Only thing is it was fine before so I don't know why it would have just randomly went out then. Not only that but if the master was going out I'm sure I could just hold the pedal down and eventually it would go down and touch the floor wouldn't it?
-
Not necessarily, could have gotten some air in it that won't leave by bleeding at the wheels

usually the pedal will go all the way down if you hold it. (if the master cylinder was bad)
i don't know if it's a 100% way to tell or not though.
i know my mom's master is not bad and i know it has been like this for a long time.
it bugs the hell out of me, but i've done everything i can to fix it. even brought it to a place for a free brake inspection. they said it felt spongy and bleed it for free (which they said it didn't need) they checked the master cylinder and said it was fine.
it's felt like this since the first time i did the brakes on it back in 04. i never drove the car before doing the brakes so i have no idea if they always felt like this.
my mom said it felt the same.
not sure why yours felt fine before doing the brakes.
Well I don't remember how they felt before, but I just think I would have noticed it being too soft as I thought it right off the bat after changing them. I don't want to replace the master and find out it was fine as the new master is like $120.
Not necessarily, could have gotten some air in it that won't leave by bleeding at the wheels
Trapped where? How would I get it out?
-
The new caliper came with two copper washers that go on each side of the banjo bolt. I only used one as only one came off when I took the original off. The bolt has a lip that looks just like the washer that came off that I can't tell if it's part of the bolt or the actual washer just smashed on there. Thing wouldn't budge so I just replaced the one I knew came off. Maybe I need to put the other washer on as it might not be sealing all the way?
I was just opening the bleed valves and letting it shoot out into a cup. Once it was a nice steady stream I did each wheel two more times just to be safe. Maybe I should have used a tube submerged into fluid? I don't see how air would have got back in that way as the pedal was held down until sealed back, but who knows.

Did you follow the correct bleed order?
IIRC it is RR, LF, LR, RF for those cars.
Dunno. Every Honduh I has been a little bit of a bitch.

Yes per Helms the order on the 98-01 Integra with or without ABS is FL, FR, RR, RL
-

In the master cylinder. Try bench bleeding it, or it could need a rebuild.
-
This lady brought a grand prix to my buddies shop for brakes, turns out the RR brake line was pinched shut and had been for 80k miles. She took it to a shop before and they didn't notice it. Bottom line is, older cars can be a huge hassle.

That is a strange order, I have always been taught to start the furthest from the master and work to the closest.

Don't question Honda service literature. Honda built the K-series. It's everyone else who is doing it wrong.

Yeah that's what I thought too. It's that way on the pre 98 tegs, but after it goes to the odd order.

Damn it I don't even want to mess with bench bleeding it. I don't have any spare brake lines or fittings to loop into the reservoir; any RHMT solutions?
-
Could you not just plug off the ports with something and then prime the piston? I don't see the reasoning behind having to have tubes hooked up to the ports.
-
I just use my fingers to block off the ports when in a pinch. It makes a hell of a mess, but sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do.

Tonight I decided to pull out the gauge cluster to get rid of the white face gauges and the "chrome" trim. The switch wires, for the reverse glow gauges, were ran under the dash so I dropped the panel to find this.
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi847.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fab36%2Fnacvicsi%2F0307001603.jpg&hash=cd66797eb50588ff6087990853e430c0c8b835c8)
It's a neon tube which I traced the wires going behind the radio and up under the carpet. I decided to take the console out to have access to the wires to go ahead and remove them. As I pulled the console off I find this:
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi847.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fab36%2Fnacvicsi%2F0307001613.jpg&hash=4e0e5d8b7d65454d8377fc3e0c7cde3444a5d2b9)
The controllers to the neon's which are controlled by a switch that is tapped into the console. There is another neon under the dash on the passenger side and one under each seat. So needless to say they will be removed. It got to dark to continue so more on that later.
The gauges were pulled and the "chrome" bezel was held on with this tar like substance. It was an udder nightmare to get it off. I stood at the sink for no telling how long wet sanding it. Then rubbed it forever with fingernail polish remover till I finally got it all off.
Needless to say afterwords the plastic surround was scratched up so I decided to redo it. Went with a gunmetal metallic.
I don't have a picture of just the gauge by itself. But you can see it here.

Yeah I usually hate when people do wiring on cars as they half ass it. Looks like they semi did it right for what they did though. They ran it to an independent power source (didn't tap into any car wiring). Also I was MU FUKIN THRILLED to see that they used a radio adapter harness. 99% of the cars I get/see some idiot has hacked off the harness.

Wow, there's nothing worse than finding rice shit in hidden places, not to mention the wiring mess they leave behind. Fucking assholes
Yeah I usually hate when people do wiring on cars as they half ass it. Looks like they semi did it right for what they did though. They ran it to an independent power source (didn't tap into any car wiring). Also I was MU FUKIN THRILLED to see that they used a radio adapter harness. 99% of the cars I get/see some idiot has hacked off the harness. Car came with an Alpine CD player in it if anyone is interested. Might through it up for sale soon, either that or my other CD player.
Bricks were shat when I pulled my dash out and saw the clusterfuck behind my radio. I will keep what's in there for as long as possible so I don't have to mess with it. Fortunately, is the only non-OEM bullshit in my car when I bought it.

So uh, I guess I don't have a set of tail lights on the way. I get a message today asking if I want the right or left tail light. I respond saying both seeing as the ad says tail lights as in plural and shows a picture of both lights. No where does it say it's for one light, idiots.
-
Cleared out the useless wiring and items out today. Ended up with a nice pile:

Apparently I have an alarm also. Kept it in for now as I found two remotes, but both were dead. Maybe it will actually work once I get the batteries.

Found someone interested in trading his 99-00 Si rims for the 17"s. Decided to repaint them to make them look more enticing. I think it came out decent. Whoever painted them before did a shitty job, but some nice amount of time sanding fixed that up. One down, three to go.

Negative. Rustoleum metallic silver. I went to five stores and only that last one had metallic silver, but was in Rustoleum. The only other metallic I could find anywhere was gun metal, but didn't want that. I would have liked the Duplicolor wheel paint, but as said they didn't have it. Also it was $6+ a can VS the $3.50 I paid for this :mexi:

Yeah it took me about 6-7 hours for all the prep work and masking. Painting took all of 10 min.
The teg is now sitting on 99-00 Si wheels as of 10:30 PM. I was supposed to meet the guy and he offered to throw some cash on top. Due to my driveway being on a pretty steep slope I didn't feel comfortable leaving it on stands as I could hear them popping and the car moving slightly. He ended up driving almost two hours each way and traded straight.
They have brand new Bridestone Potenza 195/50/15s on them. I think they look a little too small for the teg, needs a 195/55 series tire. Would be perfect for a Civic though. Might end up trading them also haha

Yeah I had bought some OEM ones on eBay at the beginning of March, but they didn't send them and wouldn't return my messages. PayPal finally refunded the money yesterday so I will be getting some more soon. Some guy semi local is interested in trading mine and those white face gauges I stripped out plus like $20 for his stock ones. Seems like a logical plan to me.
-
yeah i love trading ricer shit for shit that ricers throw away (i.e. stock good looking shit)
-

Yeah it's pretty funny actually. He bought some stuff from me for his Civic. When we met up he was asking about the teg (at which point I had just bought it like two days before). I was telling him about it and mentioned getting rid of the gay tail lights. He responds with yeah I don't know why anyone would buy that ugly shit.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and I take out those white face gauges. I put them on CL and he text me saying he bought a Integra and wants them. I jokingly say why don't you go ahead and let me get those stock tails. He agrees which shocked me after his previous statement. Damn ricer in disguise.

Well I got bored and decided to have the Vibrant muffler I was selling put on instead. Fits better and seems a little quieter. I'll eventually just get a full stainless catback replacement as mine has 2.5" catback with no resonator currently.

Yeah it's a little quieter. It isn't as quite as I would like though. I know they cut the resonator out, so that has to do with a part of it. When I had the new full catback ran on the EF hatch I told them not to worry about the resonator and I noticed it got quite a bit louder and raspy.

Yeah haha, this muffler fits better the way the bumper is "cut out". I will probably end up putting it back up for sale once I pick up a catback on the cheap. Yeah to be honest I would probably have to have have a few shots before I started doing wheels again. All the little "nooks and crannies" make prepping them take forever. Not only that, but it took longer for me because someone had done a crappy job before and I was sanding out damage. If your wheels aren't damaged and haven't been ghetto painted it should be easy.

You have more of a reason to buy it than I do. Your car is built for turbo. IF I decide to keep the car I will eventually get another car to have as a toy. I went through the trouble of building my daily driver with no spare car when I had my EF hatch, screw that, never again.

Can probably find someone to sand blast them or just pick up a cheap sand blaster at harbor. If I was doing it on a set I planned to keep I would just take it down to bare metal, primer, paint, and then clear or have them powder coated.

Oh yeah, on another note. I traded the guy $20, my altezzas, neons, and white gauges for his OEM tails. Once there I mentioned getting rid of the emblems and he hopped on them also. It was a PITA getting his OEM emblems off and the front one peeled some of the chrome foil crap off. Oh well saves me the trouble of buying one of them at least.

Another small victory. The WD-40 worked great on the adhesive for the emblems, stickers, and fish. Went ahead and took the DOCH VTEC badge off the back also. Thinking about sticking a LS emblem on it just to not tempt people anymore than they already are. Oh and of course the red emblem was exchanged for a OEM unit.

Wrong size tires. They have 195/50's which are too small for the teg. It needs either a 195/55 or 205/50. The red ones have the correct 205/50's

yeah, 1cm wider tires would make all the difference.

Umm apparently you don't know how to read tires. The circumference would be 1.26" bigger for 205/50 vs the 195/50.
-
i do. And I ran those two sizes through some online calculator and got 22.67" and 23.07", or 1/2" taller, which is just over 1cm taller for the 1cm gained.

Yeah they wouldn't be staying that color, I just don't want to mess with painting rims again right now. I decided against it though as I would prefer some grids.

Yes the tires on these are too small which don't fill out the wheel well right and the speedo is off.

I love when things start going wrong. So ever since I have gotten the car I have noticed between 1-2 and 2-3 gear that it would have a slight pop in between shifts. When I got to looking I noticed that the distributor was advanced all the way. I figured this was the cause of the popping, but didn't address it yet.
Now two days ago I went to the store and sat there with the car running to wait for the passenger to come out. When we started to leave the car started missing really bad. The check engine light came on and as I drove it home it would miss/stumble for a second or two then run right for a second or two.
Later that night I started it up and it ran fine again. The next day I checked the CEL and it was a random misfire. I took the plug cover off to find that the #1 plug wire wasn't even popped down all the way. I popped it on and started the car and it ran fine again. I assume that fixed the problem so didn't bother changing plugs yet. Drove the car around for a good 30 min that night and never had a problem.
Now today I decide that I am going to back the ignition timing off as I'm sure it isn't good for it to be advanced all the way. I jump the connector, move the dizzy to the middle position, and then start the car. Unless the dizzy is advanced all the way the car starts stumbling/missing at idle. Then when I started reeving the car up it was missing again like the day before.
Now I'm not sure if the missing now has to do with the same issue as before, or if it's because the dizzy is out of time. Either way I don't understand why the dizzy would have to be advanced all the way for the car to run right. I don't have a timing light, but will be getting one to check the dizzy timing.
Could it be that when the timing belt was done it is a tooth off and the dizzy must be advanced all the way to make it run properly?
-
Possible, yes.
It should exhibit some abnormal behavior though such as being uber sluggish at lower RPMs.
It wouldn't hurt to inspect the entire secondary side of the ignition system as well.
-
Yup what snm95ls said, if it was a tooth off there would be more than random misfires. The day I rode in it, it accelerated just fine and pulled like it should. I don't think the timing is off...
When I fixed Tim's CRV, the timing was off a tooth, and like snm said it was ridiculously sluggish at lower RPMs, and once it hit around 3000-3500rpm it would take off. When I was trying to figure out why I couldn't get my ignition timing correct, I purposely set the timing off 1 tooth both directions just to see. When I retarded the timing 1 tooth and advanced the distributor all the way, it ran like shit.
Maybe something is up with the distributor? When I get the new engine together, if I still cannot set the ignition timing I am going to start with the distributor...

Yeah I know I had the belt on my Del Sol off by a tooth and it ran "fine", but was really sluggish. Even with the dizzy advanced all the way it should still feel sluggish? It doesn't feel sluggish at all and has plenty of power.
I'll get a timing light to check it out. I'll probably go ahead and change the cap, rotor, plugs, and wires also. The fact the dizzy has to be advanced all the way just throws me off.

Yeah that's what I'm wondering. It's just cheaper to fix all the other ignition parts first as the dizzy is the most expensive.
-
Oh yeah also when I moved the dizzy I plugged the service connector, moved the dizzy to center, THEN started the car. Is it possible this just fucked the dizzy timing up since it was moved while the car was off?
-
Wat?
-
Wat?
The dizzy was sitting all the way advanced. I plugged the service connector, undone the dizzy bolts, and moved it to the center. Then I started the car. I didn't have the car started before I moved the distributor to the center position.

Makes absolutely zero difference.
-
Well I went and started it again and it works fine again. I'm guessing the misfire issue from the other day popped back up at the same time so it seems as though it's two separate issues. I'll get a timing light and check the dizzy timing, and then start going through some of the ignition crap.
-
Ok so let it warm up again to see about adjusting distributor. I revved it some and noticed that it was missing/stumbling. I decided to just do the plug wires one at a time to see if I could narrow it down. I started with #1 of course which when I changed the plugs they all looked good except the #1 plug. It looked black and dirty.
Jumped in the car and fired it up, no missing at all. Popped the old one on again, missed. New one again, no missing. Was happy I found the culprit so changed the rest of the plugs. I still don't have a light, but I retarded the timing a good bit from what it was closer to the middle grounds until I get a light.
Since I already had the intake out of the way I decide I might as well pull off the cap and inspect it and clean it up if there is any corrosion or anything. I took the cap off and was shocked. I'm assuming the plug wire was still bad as it ran rough when I put it back in, but I have a feeling this may be the main issue.

So was the rotor screw not even in its spot?
I would suspect that the coil is about to take a shit and is running hot if the rotor screw was indeed where it should have been and tight.
Weird.

No the screw wasn't in the rotor at all. It is wedged in between the inner dizzy cover. The rotor was able to move in and out freely which obviously caused the carnage.

Ah. Yep, that'll do it every time.

Yeah sucks as I was hoping the simple plug wire would have fixed it, ecstatic that it isn't the actual distributor going bad like I had originally feared.
-
I bet next time you run across something similar you'll loosen the 3 screws and pull the cap off :P
Fortunately it was something simple to track down.

Eh I had the OEM plug wires left over from the Del Sol Vtec and the plugs left over from the EM1 that I was going to change, but never got around to. Hoarding and laziness saved me a few bucks. After the new cap and rotor goes on it should hopefully run good. Now I can actually drive it to use your timing light Jew
-
I'm surprised it was drivable with how rough that look.
Engine goes in next week, n1 pulley, rings, block came in...goes to the machine shop Monday.

Holy fuck..... I'm surprised the car ran that good. Next your gonna look at your timing belt and its gonna fall off when you touch it

Na that will be checked when the valve cover gasket goes on. It was supposedly changed recently, which I know they have had the valve cover off as they didn't tighten the inside nuts down. Two of them were still at the top of their threads. I'll go ahead and do the valve adjustment while I'm at it.
The new rotor and coil went on yesterday and it ran perfect. Felt a lot stronger than it did.

Haha I bet it did. I hate when people work on shit and don't tighten down all the bolts/nuts.

Yeah when I changed the oil it was missing two nuts and two bolts on the oil pan. I was like wtf, so harvested two nuts off my battery hold down and tow bolts off a old vtec solenoid. Decided I would go ahead and check the rest seeing as these were missing, almost every bolt I could get to minus a couple were like maybe finger tight. There are some I couldn't get to due to the exhaust manifold, but I wonder if they are loose also. I didn't notice any oil leaking from that area, so maybe they are.
-
This is the exact reason why I only trust one shop in this town, and hes one of my friends. These assholes will change out gaskets and not replace the gasket, change your oil leave the oil filter barely on if on at all, or not even change the filter. I mean fuck you cant trust anyone anymore.

Another small victory. New short shifter in.

I got a good air compressor. The jack is just a Wal-Mart GM Parts jack, I had a really nice one and the cylinder blew after having it for years upon years.

You can barely see the road behind it that the car went through a fence, and launched on top of a dead tree. We had to jack it up off the tree to pull it out from under it so the car could drive. Doug remembers that :P
-
That sucked. Waited on the tow truck for like 3 hours and then found out it still wasn't on it's way. So went and grabbed some cinder blocks, my red jack and OEM jack you see plus Jorshers OEM jack. Not only was it on top of a tree behind the wheels which had it a good bit off the ground, but there was also barbed wire wrapped all around the passenger tire and into/through the bumper. That Del Sol stared Satan and the face and said bend over bitch. I think it survived what like 5 wrecks?
