new 'round these parts

Hey everyone, obviously im new here. Let's see... I'm 25 and i've lived in columbus since I was 12. Came from a military family so we moved a lot. I've been into cars my whole life. My father and grandfathers were/are all gearheads so it was natural for me to do the same. The only problem any of them see with my love for cars is that its for imports. I love American muscle, dont get me wrong. There's nothing sweeter than hearing my father start his '72 SS Chevelle. I just love my Honda's. I bought my first Honda when I was 17 and haven't owned anything since.

 

Currently I own a 1997 Acura Integra GSR. I've swapped the entire front end, doors, side skirts and rear bumper in favor of 2001 Integra Type-R parts. I also bought the stock usdm Type-R lip and optional side skirts to go with that. The car has a shit ton of miles on it so I had the head rebuilt with stock pieces and im in the process of doing the same thing with the bottom end. She breathes in through a no name cai and out through a dc sports header and custom piped exhaust and out a cheap ass exhaust since my apex'i snapped at the muffler. I bought the car with steelies on it and got rid of those in favor of newer model GSR blades. Unfortunately they are painted a bronze color and look like shit. I just dont have the time to sand them down and polish them. It's ridin monster truck style right now since once again I dont have the time to put on my ground control suspension. Other than those few things the car is pretty much stock. Oh I forgot, theres a dc sports short shifter in it as well with a usdm Type-R shift knob and I have an 8000k HID kit.

 

I only have one picture of the car due to the fact that I dont really own a camera except on my phone.

Thanks to whoever it was that changed the little quote type thing under name to Riceboy.

Everyone get's that when they sign up until they've proven otherwise. Other than, welcome and good intro.

 

Brian, I believe the license plate is that way to help ramp air into the engine bay/intake. :D

Don't worry I can handle it. Like I said, i've been driving imports for about 8 years now and listening to it from the very beginning. I more than expect it due to the apparently overwhelming amount of domestics on here but I also know at the same time (if i'm right) that it's more about the love for cars that keeps this going and our culture as whole progressing forward.

You know its comments like these that get you made fun of. I'm glad you're into your car but really you sound like a 17 year old ricer to me.

I have a short shifter, I love it, and Im putting in HIDs. Though they're more like 5000k.

Evo>Honda It was born a performance car, Integra not so much. However installing Street Glow decals would make you a ricer.

I get what you're saying about that kind of stuff getting me made fun and that sucks that you feel that way. I wouldnt feel the need to make fun of you if you said that you love your camaro but whatever helps you sleep at night I suppose. Like the other guy said maybe if I had some sweet decals, graphics, neons and an aluminum wing i'd see your point. All I did was list the things that I have done to my car and nothing that I have done is "ricey". Sorry you feel that way big guy. Oh and even though I don't drive a race car my car is actually considered one of the "performance" oriented Hondas.
