Hi everyone i am new here i just bought my fist Honda , well Acura but that's not whats underneath . so ya my first Honda i got a real good deal no rust anywhere but the hood and i am going to get a new hood as soon as i can i have found them all over from 50 bucks to 100 used . i also need a new windshield b4 i can cert the car .
well here's some pics of my new baby i cant wait to get her to the track . the interior is mint super clean and the exterior is faded pretty bad but i will take fading over rust any day . my plan is to add a sway bar to the rear and strut tower braces front and back and then get a set of coil overs , wheels and tires then a CAI then take it to the track .
i already got pulled over the first day i was driving it cause the front plate was off due to seized bolts i didn't get a ticket or anything but i went straight to Canadian tire and attached the plate , the cop also told me not to mod the car or make it faster cause i would be getting pulled over a lot now that i am driving a red Integra .
if anyone knows where i can find these parts all in once place or on the cheep let me know as i would like to get my car to the track soon . i wont be doing anything to the car that will take away from my day to day drivability like slamming the car or adding a fart can . and no tint i want the cops to see i am over 30 lol. oh ya i guess my first mod will be 1 hell of a buff job .
is there any honda/acrua track days set up around the gta ? or even Asian track days ? i guess i will be swinging by p-mall soon .
also if you guys know of any light mods for my motor like a different head or plug wires or something plz let me know . ya i am a honda noob .

Welcome to TCC. Well you can always go LS/VTEC. Which means changing your stock B18 head, and bolting on a B16 head, It's nice little change, and you will notice the difference. Chect out the toronto integra forums, you should have no problem finding parts on there.

A complete head with every thing, sensors, intake, dizzy, cam's, every thing for it, and ECU or chipped ECU. have to be OBD1. then you need a water pump, head gasket, timing belt. It's not cheep to do that swap. it costed me over $800 for every thing, and i got the t-beld, water pump, and head gasket at cost. so it's not cheep. If you just want to add a little more to it, just get a I/H/E

what kinda gains did u get . dose it make the car more fun or really help the power out ? 800 isnt bad i mean if it helps out . i was botting around last night and today and it could use a little low end pull . i do have a header sitting in the grage i am buessing that could help a little its a 4-2-1 .

you do gain some, but you never really know how much more it will. $500 was on the complete head, and the $300 was for the other stuff. You will be paying more then $300 for the other parts, i got it as cost, NOT retail.

well you will still need at least the headgasket ($80-100), modify your computer to add vtec and chip it if its obd1 ($100), vtec oil feed line and fittings ($60-100), modify the dowel pin holes to 14mm and plug the stock oil feed hole ($50-100 depending on your machine shop).
Or you could just bite the bullet and buy the Golden Eagle LSvtec conversion kit for about $225 USD and it'll include everything you need (literally) and will be something you can do in your garage (no machine work necessary).
But you're still looking at like $800 or so after buying the vtec head and Golden Eagle LSvtec conversion kit and this is if you're doing all the work yourself.
