Whats up guys, haven't been on a forum since G2IC. Recently just got back into my 92 Automatic Integra LS. Originally it was my mom's first brand new car out of high school and I have taken over it and modified to my taste. The original engine and transmission has 350,XXX miles on it and it started to have problems. My original plan was to keep the block and perform a LS-Vtec conversion along with a auto-manual conversion. I had a JDM B16 head with Skunk2 cam gears and a Skunk2 68 Throttle body but that all changed when I came across a B17A1 with the original GSR cable transmission on craigslist. Long story short, I picked up the swap for $1200 and found a P61 ECU for $100. If you guys are wondering about where the engine and transmission came from, the guy who had the motor/trans removed it from a DB2 that had been t-boned on the passenger side and was rear ended. He wanted to swap the motor into his CRX-SI but ended not doing it.
Heres a pic after I washed, wet sanded the clear coat, buffed/polished and waxed. Car is faded Milano Red but paint will come when everything else is done.
Ive done some some upgrades to the suspension. All the bushings were shot and torn. I've used energy suspension bushings for now because it was cheap through amazon and all I can say is that I am very pleased. A lot people complained about noise but I have to say, its quiet. I used a lot of grease but it does get dirty very easily.
Upgraded my front ball joints the the Buddy Club Extended Ball Joints.
Also picked up a set of Enkie RPF1 and front and rear EBC brakes.
Here is the B17A1 engine that I picked up.
