Welcome! Really clean sc and I like the jdm conversion on the integra, plus a jdm h22 in it saaweet. I used to have a 5th gen prelude with jdm h22.

Welcome! So you're from B.C? Are you a fan of the Canucks by any chance? LOL! 
But yeah, I suppose your car is definitely a North American model Lexus SC...Looks like whoever it was that had the car before you decided to retrofit '95-'96 tail lights (They're same whether the car is a Soarer or SC).

That was the pictures the guy used for his FS ad. He had 2 different lights and then decided to paint them black and turned so i had to change them asap.
Brandon, first off...welcome! You sir, have a GEM on your hands. Already off to a good start with the swap...there's a lot of information available here on the forums. You'll be able to find so much for our cars, good luck in your venture-very nice SC, and lastly...we appreciate your service!
Thank you sir =)
Gracias!
Welcome, welcome to.. le dungeon. (Props to anyone who recognizes this line)
I think I like the last pic the best, with the rocket launcher. That's definitely a non-JDM part that few on this board are bound to have- and I'll bet in increases performance (or at least cooperation).
The car looks awesome, and I look forward to following it's progress. I think you'll find that most of us are an incurable bunch of gearheads (nee petrolheads) who spend a lot of time on their cars and even more time surfing the CL forums.
I raise my antenna in salute of you, sir. (My car's antenna, that is- it still works)

welcome!,the lexus is clean, i would not put a body kit on it unless you go with an auto couture front bumper thats it. take off the rear wing, drop it on some clean wheels and leave it alone. i see alot of guys with ugly body kits outside of the auto couture and it makes the sc look ricey.. btw the swap looks clean.
Ya the h22 is kinda love/hate. I just felt like every integra was either a b18c turbo or b20vtec or k20 swap. I feel the h22 is overlooked, unique, and much cheaper if you take your time to source out swap parts.

I added some better pics to the 1st page and replied to all comments. I am really tired right now so i appologize if my english sounds like poop. Tailights are swapped over now in the pics, nothing exciting as of yet.
Heres my old soarer on the dyno I got it from an army friend that i had traded my car for. Greddy T78 turbo kit. 432whp, he just had it dynoed. My ex gf destroyed the engine 2 weeks later while trying to change the song on my cd player and was changing my fuel maps...

thanks for all the comments guys =) unfortuneately i cant take credit for the swap. it was done in texas years ago at a shop called Snap Performance.
I would love to have it detailed but i think its too late in the season to do it. My other car is in the shop so i might be driving this through winter 
Well i did a september-may tour so it was hot during the day and freeezing cold at night for the most part. I was able to get used to it after a while but it sucked ***. '
it smelled good for about 5 mins and now it smells like nothing.. having leather i find that air fresheners dont really work. i have 3 squash air fresheners, the awesome sauce one, a peach one and a panty hose filled with coffee beans for scents, its interesting for sure haha
i have a story about battery tie downs. on my old integra, the battery died and wouldnt hold a charge so i took the battery out of my other car so that i could drive to vancouver. it was too large for the tie down so i just said what the hell, oh well. as i came into vancouver, there was a big pot hole that i hit and the battery grounded itself to the hood and the car shutoff and was smoking.. there was nowhere to pull off because it died in a construction area.. people were honking at me and swerving around me. i got out preying that i wasnt gonna get hit and all i had in the car were 2 spoon decals in the glove box so i wrapped over the terminal and placed one on the hood. the battery melted a hole into the hood bracing and i almost got hit by a large truck since i wasnt able to turn on my hazards and had no brake lights.... i learned my lesson on battery tie downs
i live in kelowna but i come to van quite often, only about 3.5 hours away
I have a couple updates. I bought a freshly rebuilt Holset HX40 (0 kms on it), changed the wheels and lowered it. The front needs to come down more and i need to run some spacers and roll the fenders. Not the best wheels i know but i cant afford a nice set right now to be honest. Im ordering a manifold, wastegate in a couple days as well.. Heres a few photos

Comparisson to my integra turbo
