She’s Back

Restoration(e

Since the glass was removed, the moldings were also renewed. The front left and rear glass moldings were repurposed from a DC2, and they were fitted nicely. The fresh black moldings give it a crisp, sharp look.

The front lip is the P1 Lip from Specialproject. It took quite a while from order to shipping, and there were some issues like receiving the round-eye version by mistake, but it was successfully installed. I really like it because it doesn’t look overdone. It also looks like it would be easy to repair if damaged.

The headlights were replaced with ones I restored myself. In terms of appearance, this change instantly made the car look younger.

The brightness from the driver’s seat has improved as well, but the contribution to the appearance is even more significant. While it’s not quite like new, this might be what those Integra Type Rs looked like when they were first delivered back in the day.

Finally, at long last, it’s back. Three months since that embarrassing and frustrating accident that makes me cringe every time I think about it. It was a struggle to gather the parts, but I took this opportunity to update the driving-related components along with the genuine parts I had collected.

The wheels are TC-4, tires are A052, and the Spoon calipers have been renewed as well.

I sourced a used rear bumper to replace the damaged one, and had the outlet at the bottom of the bumper cut out. The SACLAM muffler was also damaged, so I temporarily switched to a Fujitsubo muffler.
