its worse then it looks thats the problem. like the passanger door didnt open, and the driver side door hit the body in a spot where you can see where paint chipped. when a car gets hit it does so much damage in places you wouldnt expect.
buying the shell was logical. now i need to figure out what exactly im making this car into.. im getting bride xaxii seats from a friend but idk if i should throw those in or sell them. because then id need a 4pt in the back because ill be damned to just get a harness bar and get into a roll over accident and be stuck in that position as the roof crushes me.
as such. if i do a cage.. thered be no point if i was keeping the 1jz stock. or i could throw a aem on there and by single turbo and injectors
and once i do all this i forget the biggest thing i wanted to do which was the shine body kit.. so throw that on. ha, it adds up.. but idk if i wanna go through all of that or just make the car drivable like it was pre-wreck and go to school. or wait a year

its for a 94-01 integra. lol, i found a diy on it somewhere on here awhile back. but pretty much you just chop of the top portion and it fits pretty good. i had to cut a vacuum hose and line the sides so it fits better

after much debate about selling out and getting a boosted s2000.. i decided i just couldnt live with the exhaust note. sure its fast, and would look bad *** with that cusco roll cage, lowered with nice wheels.. but the exhaust just sounds like total crap. like a bunch of pissed of wasps.
so im going to finish the build. im getting my insurance check soon, and ill be buying everything i wanted for my gold one to finish the black car. list includes; single turbo manifold, wastegate, downpipe, bigger intercooler, supra injectors, doing a normal 100k rebuild (waterpump, oilpump, timing belt, rear main seal), new spark plugs, aem ems, r154, brake upgrade, autopower 4/6 pt roll cage, new wheels, new tires, shine body kit, a new welder, paint *painting it myself*.
i think thats it.. i havnt totally decided on the color of the car. i was thinking about either black, is-f blue, or lexus pearl white

alot has happened since january..
i bought:
nrg catch can
pioneer dvd indash headunit
bigger fmic
speed cut eliminator
rebuild parts for the 1jzgte aka belts
ls400 brakes
drilled and slotted rotors front/back
motors out, suspension and brakes are on.
bought a soarer trans and ... the transmission is broken
and since its cast, i cant weld it. so i have to disassemble the entire transmission to get this shaft out, buy another tranmission from a mk3 supra (10 hour drive round trip to get it) and disassemble that, and combine parts back into my soarer trans. so much for finishing the car this weekend..ughhhh
i bought a mapecu2 ill be getting a manifold, oil lines and dp this week for my 60-1. i also already have 440cc injectors so all i need is a wastegate and boost controller!
friday, the inspector comes for the transmission so hopefully that gets all cleared up
all thats left to do is wire up the mapecu2, wiring my gauges in and swap the motor in then install the single turbo parts and get the fmic piping welded.
a friend sent me this:
