vgsrule Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hey, I've been around for a few years but did not join here until this year. I am currently rocking my first car, a 1995 Acura Integra. Picked it up sophomore year of high school and started messing around with body kits, coilovers and some other stuff. It was definitely a bit ricey in HS (obviously helped pick up girls ). More recently I've changed wheels and bumpers and things around a few times to have a 94-97 front and 98-01 rear setup, which are my current personal favorites. I am now in my 4th year of mechanical engineering at OSU and am involved in the car club there. I have been autocrossing it the last 4-5 summers or so with various clubs including SCCA, BMC, MBCA, Porsche club, Alfa club, and our own OSU events which are always open to other clubs. I have a few other projects and toys including a 87 CRX Si, 04 Forester XT, and 93 4Runner SR5 V6. I've had a few other things in the past but I keep coming back to my first car because its still damn fun to drive even though its not fast in a straight line (and I never plan for it to be).

vgsrule Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Thanks guys, was just thinking back and looking through some dusty old photos on the hard drive. Here was from a few years ago when I first started autox: http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/vgsrule4ever/Integra/Autocross1-1_zps011399cc.jpg I guess I did not mention that the autocross events I've been to have been mostly at the Ackerman Rd. lot. I am not a fan of the Ohio Historical Society lot because it is small and has A LOT of gravel so I traditionally avoid gravel-blasting my car there. I have also been to some in Columbus, Indiana which were pretty fun on an old airstrip. And here was last year as I was phasing out the body kit before I switched wheels: http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/vgsrule4ever/Integra/IMG_8415-whiteplate_zps9ca770d1.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vgsrule Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Sweet more Autox PEEPS> Where do you go/ who with? Thank god you got rid of that "bodykit". Car looks much better now. Thanks haha, I'm going for more of a 97/98 spec Type R hybrid. My Mugen replica front lip (shown) is pretty beat, well beyond repair as of recently so I am going to be ordering the US 97 ITR lip and I may try to find a wing as well to complete the OEM look.

Sounds good, which is your autox car? I see 3 potentials in your sig. Here is my CRX project that I just picked up for $300 to make a budget beater: http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/vgsrule4ever/CRX%20Project/IMG_0729.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/vgsrule4ever/CRX%20Project/IMG_4948.jpg Surprisingly the body hasn't rusted away too bad: http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/vgsrule4ever/CRX%20Project/IMG_4951.jpg And here is my forester, nothing special but it makes decent power: http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/vgsrule4ever/2004%20Forester/IMG_2724.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
