Project Integra Type R DC2

So overall, the car came in very good condition!  I definitely lucked out this time, as I found out the previous owner is actually a Honda mechanic, he must have taken very good care of the car. 

​

So even on the auction sheet, it already stated that there's some slow leak on the power steering hose.  It did have some minor accident repair to it, when I couldn't tell at all when I inspected the car in person.  Hell, even my tuner said I completely lucked out and got such a great car at an amazing price.  

​

But still, an almost 30 year car would still have its wear and tear, so the restomod goes back to the basic first:  The wear and tear items that cannot stand the test of time.  Here's the list of items that are wear and tear related that are being replaced. 

​

1. All suspension bushing (Spoon bushing)

2. Rear toe arms and suspension arms

3. Alternator rebuild

4. Radiator - opting for a Koyorad

5. Replace all coolant hoses

6. Power steering (PAS) pump rebuild

7. High pressure power steering hose​ (this was a tricky one)

8. New air con compressor

9. New timing belt and water pump (OEM)

10. New fuel filter (OEM)

11. New clutch hose and slave cylinder

12. New oil seals

​​

So with the above list, all the basic items should be in order from reliability perspective.
