I'm lovin' this JDM Integra Type-R

June 16, 2011
While making my normal rounds through my Google Reader, I came across this JDM Acura Integra Type-R up on Fatlace.com and knew I had to post it up.  I have a huge soft spot for JDM Integras, I still think the Integra body is one of the cleanest cars around, and it's really sad that the JDM front-end wasn't standard issue in America.  Even after all these years, I still find them to be one of the most attractive cars around.  I still hope to one day get my hands on a mint body Integra Type-R, throw on a JDM front end and that's it. 



I'm not a huge fan of the major camber kicking off on the car, but it does sport a nice flush fitment of gold BBS LM wheels.  As you can probably tell, I love gold-faced wheels too and the contrasting red is really interesting on the car.  Of course you can't mess up with a step-lip on a BBS wheel.



The bay is clean as hell too featuring a tuck and shave and a '98 Spec ITR powerplant.  I sometimes wish I didn't go completely overboard on my Project Integra and just stuck to the original plan of a JDM front-ended sedan with a K-Series swap and HRE wheels.  Oh well, one of these days I'll build an Integra the way I want to and actually be able to drive it around.

Project Car: 1994 Acura Integra Sedan

January 1, 2010

The project started after speaking with Peter Tarach of Modified Magazine at the SEMA IAS show in Philadelphia, 2006. Modified Magazine was looking for a new project car since my Scion tC was getting wrapped up. I threw around the idea of building an Integra sedan, something I had personally wanted to do my entire life. At that time my intentions were mainly to throw on a JDM front end, K-series swap and your basic suspension/bolt-on mods and to make a fairly fun driver out of it. But once the project started it pretty much spiraled out of control becoming a huge money pit and ultimately a show car with hopes of hitting the track at some Time Attack events.
