My other one - 96 Spec Integra DC2
« on: April 29, 2012, 08:10:08 pm »
Well as well as owning a nice MK5 GTI, i also still have my Integra.  It is currently for sale, but if it never sells i won't be TOO annoyed, as it's always been a fantastic car and i think it'd still scare and surprise me if i hopped back in the drivers seat.

I have had the Integra since 2008, i'm the only UK owner of it and its sitting at around 85k miles.  It's been tastefully modified to enhance performance as apposed to looks.  I have done numerous track days in it, and have also competed in the Scottish Hillclimb championships with it, where i have picked up a few 2nd in class's.

Here are some pics of it a few months back when it was on BC BR Series coilovers, which i have now changed to standard dampers with Eibach Pro-Kit springs









And some pictures of it with the Eibach Pro-Kit on it.  I've driven it a few times since fitting them and the handling is much nicer than on the coilovers.  












Car basic info

1997 P Reg
96 Spec Integra DC2 Type R
135000km on the clock - 85000 miles or there abouts.  
Still clocks up KM and reads speed in KMPH

TRS Harness on drivers side
Parcel shelf

Eibach Pro-kit on OEM dampers
Cyberspeeds front camber arms
Buddyclub rear camber arms
Cyberspeeds toe arms
Fully rebushed using SuperFlex poly bushes

Wheels and Tyres

Original 96 spec alloys (Powdercoated RAL9010)
Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 tyres

Brakes

98 Spec front calipers
Hawk HP+ Front pads
Brembo blank front discs
OEM rear 96 spec calipers
Genuine Honda rear discs
EBC Redstuff rear pads
Goodridge braided brake lines front and rear
Motul RBF 600 fluid

Engine/exhaust

Standard Engine
Petronas 5w/40 engine oil
Energy Poly inserts
DC Sports Ceramic coated exhaust manifold
Original cat, b-pipe and backbox

Gearbox

Spoon Gearset comprising of longer 1st and 2nd gear, with shorter ratio 3rd, 4th and 5th.  4th gear is an mFactory straight cut gear (only replacement available to previous owner during a rebuild)
Gearbox was rebuilt in late 2010 by Clark Motorsport at the cost of £950.  When i purchased it the main shaft bearing had collapsed due to too much in float i believe, causing terrible damage to the 5th/reverse synchro hub.
Since the rebuild it has been fantastic.

KAAZ 1.5 plated diff
Exedy Stage 1 clutch fitted early 2010
KAAZ gear oil used
mFactory shifter bushes

Other info
Air Con removed

This was the last track day i did in the car, in March 2011.  I never managed to get back on track since due to moving house and being busy with work.  Plan on getting back again sometime this year in either the Integra or the Golf



And an in car vid from Forrestburn Hillclimb from last year, also



I have plenty more videos, if you look up "runrabbitrunracing" on YouTube you'll find most of my hillclimb videos from last year.

OH, and before the Integra i had 2 of these.......
