Just unboxed my old rims that were sitting in my folks garage. Think I'll ship them back to my house...
This is a running log for my integra. I bought her in FEB '09 with 215k. Wouldn't necessarily call it a "build" thread. My goal is to have a reliable, good looking (in my eyes), daily driver. My motto is "low and slow." I just plan to maintain her well, and do a few things here and there. Enjoy. And click here for a coupon code for 40% off at Advance Auto Parts!

Dirty FITV.
Cleaned my fitv this afternoon. That should help with my high idle when my car hasn't warmed up yet.
Did it with the help of "How to: clean your FITV" on team-integra.net1st pic with paint!
Here she is now after getting painted the second week of november. She was painted champ white with a light coat of a green pearl. Still needs to go back to get touched up and buffed.

HIDs, tint, and a 5 panel wink mirror!
Just bought a set of HIDs from DDMtuning.com. I've bought kits from them before for my truck and one of my motorcycles. They have the best prices I've seen for HID kits. The kit for the teg is a 35watt, 9006 bulbs with a 6000k bulb temp. I should do a projector retrofit (I did one for my 07 tacoma) but tegs come with projectors and my car is pretty low so I don't foresee blinding oncoming traffic as bad as I did with my truck. A retrofit will be on the list of things to do in the future.
Also just ordered a 5 panel wink mirror from Amazon.com. Pretty stoked. Met a guy in the area that has one on a newer SI hatchback. He pointed me towards it on Amazon and recommended using two of the wink mounting kits.
And I just ordered precut 20% window tint from ebay seller tint-pro. I've purchased from them before, got a kit for my double cab tacoma. It's a relatively easy process since the film is precut. But it is really easy to mess up if you get dust, hair, etc. while you're applying it.
Looking forward to installing the new stuff!

Changed oil, same filter
I changed the oil today to install a new eXedium magnetic oil drain plug. I bought it off ebay from crazigurl928. Came out to $11 shipped. Reason I didn't change the filter was because I originally changed the oil when I first got her and have only put on 700+ miles.
Also adjusted the clutch pedal, feels a lot better now.
