Sooooo, Introducing Dippin_EG's DIPPIN DA !!!!!!



First the story.....

Well, Here i was, 17 years old, startin to like hondas (and Acuras) and i decided i Wanted a DA.
I sold My 94 Accord and bought a 90 integra LS W/ a B18c1 with a semi built engine (top end was all Crower) Block was stock.
On the way home from picking it up The Oil Pressure sending unit that wasnt screwed in all the way, decided to come loose and i lost all my oil, leading to rod knock. (Car was turboed, and due to lack of being smart, the dude didnt tighten it all the way after taking the oil sandwich adapter off.


So, i said fuck it and drove around my sisters old '87 Chevrolet Nova 4-Door.
Well, after just doing random shit with the teg till i was 19, i lost interest in it, and it sat for about 2 years.
Now, due to the accident, i have no choice but to get it on the road, and i am actually excited about it.




Here are some recent pics to start the build thread off with.

This is after two years of sitting

And for my first bit of work, I cleaned out 95% of the junk that had been stored in it, Washed it, And swapped all the rear suspension (Camber Kit, shocks, coilovers) and put the blades on the Back


Lookin better :hehe:

Anyway, should have some updates tomorrow :thumb:

#126499 Thanks for everyones comments!!

The EG, unfortunately will never see the road again. As Graham said, the towers are fucked.

The interior, exhaust, Rear Glass, Audio console, Plastics, body harness, and pretty much anything that wont be used on the DA will be for sale, through here and locally.

I will have some pics of what i have done today on it later on, but its coming along nicely.
I lost ALL of the bolts to the front end (probably around my house buried in something), so i went to the junkers and took a whole front end apart and got all the bolts from it.
Well, i gotta get back to work on this thing. Peace.

Update: I am going to pick up (hopefully) a 92 Integra Gsr (no engine or trans) from Philly this weekend, because it is clean and its a true Gsr.
My DA will probably be stripped and taken to the junkyard if nobody wants to buy the shell.

And, if the Gsr deal Flops, I am talking to someone else with a 94 civic EX coupe Auto that will go through an auto to manual swap, and such.

So, Its pretty much a waiting game as of right now to see if the guy with the Gsr is faking or not, But look for another update on saturday, and we'll go from there. :thumb:



Edit: :woot: Dippin_EG is now a Jr. member :thumb:
