Curtis Williams of course he’s gonna build it right. He’s sponsored, he’s a youtuber with the money to afford it, and he has an audience, he has to do it right lmao. Most people who go cheap don’t have those type of factors
FascLnatLon I'm not a RUclipsr have a family and have to save for everything I have for my car but I have never cheaped out on any parts for my build. It just takes time and dedication.
Love the ITR build, but don't love the lighting in the garage. I can't see anything you're doing in the wheel well. Please get a light from Lowe's or home Depot! THANKS FOR THE CONTENT!
You can get sweet lights from Lowe’s that are meant to replace fluorescent fixtures. Cheap and really bright, swapped fixtures out for those many times.
I like where this build is going!! By the way 9:05 adjusting the height from the spring perch will change the spring preload, not the best way to do it cause the preload might be set to the ‘correct amount’ from K-Tuned
However, if you use the locking collars on the spring perch you can rotate the entire shock body further into or out of the lower mount to adjust height without having to remove the coilover.
Was just about to chime in with this. You wanna twist the whole body not mess with the preload. The way your guy described preload is also wrong lol. Every manufacturer has a suggested preload that you set with the coilover off the car..
I just attempted changing my lower control arms 2 days ago... Every bolt was completely seized by rust from driving on NYC roads! I'm so jealous that it was so easy for your bolts to be removed!
Daniel Brown I'm more partial to the Del Sol. Also because I like small cars. I really want a foxbody but that's pushing my comfort level. Nice miata man, I miss my red NA. It was my first miata.
I’m so glad he touched base on preloading bushings, tons of people are unaware of it. Which is why people always say “X manufacturer is garbage because my bushings blew in 4 months”.
Seam sealer isn't a replacement for stitch welding. Glue doesn't make it more rigid. It's there to cover up where sections of the body are joined together to keep out the elements and stop corrosion. There's a reason most racecars are stripped of all seam sealant and stitch welded. None the less, I'm glad to see you're doing well Dave! I'm liking the direction this build is going!
We appreciate you showing hondas some love . One of my first builds when I got into the scene back in 2000. Obviously moved on but you have inspired me to build one again . Definitely will be better cause I have money now to build something legit lol so definitely do something awesome.
I love that you got a project car and I absolutely LOVE the fact you got a Honda. Now days everyone is getting the same mix of cars and I feel this shows your eclectic taste and I feel thats what everyone loves about your videos!
When dealing with old bolts, PB BLASTER/LIQUID WRENCH are your best friends! Nice work! Though the front looks like it could come down alittle bit more...see how it looks in two weeks after the springs settle.
Don't forget to do the compensator arm bushings, and a traction bar or strut rod bushings. Those will really help. Good to hear you're going spherical trailing arm bushings. What's the plan for sway bars?
get the subframe brace to connect both rear lca's, it makes a difference and would look more complete in the rear. I had function 7 lca and subframe brace and it did a big difference.
Koolaidrank Andy subframe brace alone does absolutely nothing. The entire purpose of them is to add reinforcement for the mounting of a beefy swaybar. Swaybars are what actually has an effect
Well of course the sway bar is extremely a performance upgrade but youre right the subframe brace is like strut bar but under basically. It still stiffen up the chassis
Get a 22mm rear swaybar. The biggest difference you can make with this car. You can get the OEM type r, or Progress Technology makes an adjustable one with a subframe brace that I've had for a little over a year and it's the best thing I ever bought for my car. I notice a huge difference in every adjustment. I leave mine in the middle for daily/spirited driving and go full stiff for the track.
I've kept my Integra stock and the only future modes I plan to do is to give it new bones when it gets too old. It's a 2001 with 126k km on it still runs mint.
If you can get the thicker sway/anti roll bars from the type R that'll make a noticeable difference. The 98 spec JDM ones are the thickest. 23mm in the rear IRC. That rear control arm bushing you've left to do another day, I know new uprated shiny bits are tempting :) but I would _really_ stick with stock new Honda on that. It's a major part of how that suspension works and part of what gave the Teg its reputation as such a good handling car and Honda have a couple of patents on it(it's one part they didn't change when they built the R version). Stick something "uprated" in there and the car will be more twitchy at the rear end in corners and under heavy braking. Oh and you can tap them out without a press. Not easy, but doable. They go in(IIRC) from the inside to out and the stock ones are slightly tapered to allow that("upgrades" often aren't).
I had real favorable results when I changed the rear sway bar. Yes, those coil-overs are sweet but dollar per dollar, sway bar. What spring rates did you run in your coil-overs? I found that even rates gave me a nice neutral ride, great for the track and road. Honda likes under steer because it is safe but, if you can drive, neutral is so much better. If your coil-overs came with uneven spring rates switching the springs will take out the under steer and makes your car lightning fast on the track. I street my car so it is all neutral for me. Best wishes.
Ugh I want a usdm teg so bad... but I also want a Subaru... and like 20 other cars lol. I bought a 96 GSR with a JDM front and JDM Type R B18C but a few days later found out the rockers were totally rotted (hidden by the side skirts). When I went to put jack stands under it the rear pinch welds totally crumpled and the car fell off the jack! Now I have an ej6 (ek hatch) and I'm going to try to use as many parts off the teg for it and then part out the Integra. It's sad but live and learn... right? Good luck on this project, I'm looking forward to see what you do with it, but so far I like what I see! :)
Matthew Simmons I believe they do lock like a jack stand. Gears and Gasoline is another channel that uses them and you can hear it lock when they raise it in one of their videos.
You can just use a hammer to knock in the rear trailing arm bushings (and to knock out the old ones), they aren't all that tight, I sprayed a bit of WD-40 white lithium grease in there and it didn't take a ton of hammer force to knock them in - you won't distort the bushing's outer metal ring. I've heard aftermarket one's like Hardrace and Spoon are tighter.
Hope you will put more effort into the cinematics again for 2018, buddy. Vloggin stuff is all good but I miss your crazy crane shots and landscape footage. It all had such a sweet mood to it. Happy new year from germany!
I have a 94 Acura Integra LS, and I am trying to replace the shocks, struts, rotors, and tires. What do you guys suggest for each. I want it just for regular use, no racing. Thanks. Great videos.
A wide body with some sticky wide tires would be interesting on this build tbh, not sure what would be considered wide on this car tbh though since they come with like 185s stock I’d assume?
Hey ThatDudeinBlue! I'm loving the integra, and i'm loving your channel as a whole. I've been watching for a while, and you have some great stuff. I am especially loving this build because this is what I want to do to my integra. Keep it up man. :)
About time I been waiting for you to mod this thing. 👍🏾😀 You look better as a Honda guy then a ruststang guy lol jp I love the stang to. David you starting off to a right start my man keep it up bro. Don’t listen to the ricers in the comments, saying ktune coilover are junk cause their not that was a good buy. Keep it up bro love you’re videos, I may have to make a video, about your comment section alone. Lol
Love this! Makes me want to pull my teg out of the garage and continue my build. I know you will eventually turbo it. Been wanting to boost mine since I bought it.
I have 1994 f150 short bed regular cab truck I was thing of wrapping 5.0 coyote in it what do you think I am going do some suspension mods to crown Victoria front end and four link rear coil-overs
One thing to watch out for. After you put in aftermarket suspension parts, the people doing the alignment cant go off factory specs. And sometimes they do, and give you back a fucked up alignment. So you'll probably have to pay more, and have them get it as close as they can. And the place I went, they charged double, because I was using coil overs.
I hope you have some plans to put in a better performane-oriented transmission in that car, I'm assuming you have the stock LS transmission right now which has loooooooong gears.
David put vtec in it. Its called Lsvtec Frankenstein swap. you swap your head with a vtec head and you get more power, longevity of power, and better to tune
DONT adjust the ride height with the spring, the springs require a certain preload for ride quality and handling. USE the shock body to adjust ride height.
enjoying the build so far i own a ukdm dc2 type r my second one sadly it been off the road for 2 years now as it needs a lot of but im hoping to able to start working on it again this year. looking forward to seeing more updates on your teg
If I get aftermarket control arms for my integra will this help with the oversteer that I'm getting? it's not to bad but it's still annoying... Or should I go with wider tires?
MY only comment is on your quick jack, You should have the security arms on the outside so you don't need to reach through the tool to unlock the stand feature. Wouldn't want it to fail on your arms.
So I have a first gen prelude and I really want to make it a sleeper, does anyone know what honda motors I could swap in without doing crazy engine bay overhaul?

Thanks for watching you guys! I hope all of you have a wonderful New Years and be safe.
ThatDudeinBlue are you gonna run in smf or does ga region scca have a different class
ThatDudeinBlue and no one drink and drive be safe!
Possibly a rhd convertion?

So glad a RUclipsr with a big fan base is building a Honda! In it for this series you got!
mcm with the s2k?
I see you! ;)
and lets not forget the hondafied mini eh :-)
Phantaam yeah but no one can hate on s2ks like u can a fwd honda
Go check out boostedboiz.. That's all honda
Thank you for building your Integra rite and not half ass like alot of people do!
Curtis Williams of course he’s gonna build it right. He’s sponsored, he’s a youtuber with the money to afford it, and he has an audience, he has to do it right lmao. Most people who go cheap don’t have those type of factors

Kenneth K that's exactly what I was saying. You took the words rite out of my mouth brother!
right*
Too bad it's kind of a weak giveaway car. Trevor from MotionAutoTv built a badass 240sx mostly out of his own pocket.
You know why I’m here. 😎
Zosh what you lookin for bro he’s doing your build backwards 😂
I see you
Zosh knew you would be here in the comments 👌
Ayyy i thought you comment 😂
Love the ITR build, but don't love the lighting in the garage. I can't see anything you're doing in the wheel well. Please get a light from Lowe's or home Depot! THANKS FOR THE CONTENT!
CommandoPG
I agree a couple overhead LEDs would work.
CommandoPG pretty sure it's not a type r
You can get sweet lights from Lowe’s that are meant to replace fluorescent fixtures. Cheap and really bright, swapped fixtures out for those many times.
I'm positive it's not an ITR. Maybe he's saying he building it to ITR spec? Which he isn't lol
CommandoPG I agree! Something similar to Taylor Ray’s setup makes a world’s difference.
So awesome to see this build come to life! :)
I like where this build is going!! By the way 9:05 adjusting the height from the spring perch will change the spring preload, not the best way to do it cause the preload might be set to the ‘correct amount’ from K-Tuned
this.

smart cookie idk why people think doing it the other way works
Was just about to chime in with this. You wanna twist the whole body not mess with the preload. The way your guy described preload is also wrong lol. Every manufacturer has a suggested preload that you set with the coilover off the car..
I just attempted changing my lower control arms 2 days ago... Every bolt was completely seized by rust from driving on NYC roads! I'm so jealous that it was so easy for your bolts to be removed!
love the look of integras. always had a soft spot for them
Daniel Brown I'm more partial to the Del Sol. Also because I like small cars. I really want a foxbody but that's pushing my comfort level. Nice miata man, I miss my red NA. It was my first miata.

Nothing says a better way to start the day like an iced coffee from dunks and a ThatDudeInBlue morning upload!
I was rolling through a mall parking lot in my 2014 GT and had a lady yell at me “you have all that noise but you ain’t going no where”😂
Justin Cox more cool to not draw attention to your self from a obnoxious exhaust especially when you ain’t going anywhere fast
I love that you got a project car and I absolutely LOVE the fact you got a Honda. Now days everyone is getting the same mix of cars and I feel this shows your eclectic taste and I feel thats what everyone loves about your videos!
love that your showing this build and that not every Honda sits on cut springs and deleted converters.
Ive never actually seen anyone ever do suspension in a honda like that before so it was interesting to figure what all does what! Thank you!
You can do trailing arm bushings with a socket. Very easy.
When dealing with old bolts, PB BLASTER/LIQUID WRENCH are your best friends! Nice work! Though the front looks like it could come down alittle bit more...see how it looks in two weeks after the springs settle.
Don't forget to do the compensator arm bushings, and a traction bar or strut rod bushings. Those will really help. Good to hear you're going spherical trailing arm bushings. What's the plan for sway bars?
You need better lightning in your garage bro
SuperiorRedneck why? He just use it for parking space as he cant wrench for shit
just dont film toward the door. its simple logic
Thor can help.
lightning?? - what the fuck is he Tesla building a coil?
get the subframe brace to connect both rear lca's, it makes a difference and would look more complete in the rear. I had function 7 lca and subframe brace and it did a big difference.
Koolaidrank Andy I was gonna say this too. Subframe brace kits really transform these things.
Koolaidrank Andy subframe brace alone does absolutely nothing. The entire purpose of them is to add reinforcement for the mounting of a beefy swaybar. Swaybars are what actually has an effect
Well of course the sway bar is extremely a performance upgrade but youre right the subframe brace is like strut bar but under basically. It still stiffen up the chassis
Finally some real modifications, I see all these people on RUclips now talking about “first mod on my car bro” and all they put is tint or stickers!
Need to get rid of that stank exhaust
Stank Exhaust?
Faded Jate yeah that rusty pipe coming out the back.
Will happen dude. If i remember correctly he ordered a new exhaust.
Is that your STI bro?
Savage 101 hell yeah it is!
Never clicked on a video so fast! Hope to see you at gridlife david😁
Miton Films shut up
Bryan Ortiz shut the fuck up before you get yourself hurt

Recommend getting a ASR or Function 7 rear subframe brace and a larger rear sway bar such as a ITR RSB. Fantastic setup for the money.
When we did the suspension on my dad's 65 Nova it was so jacked but it looks tons better with the 2 inch drop
If you can get the thicker sway/anti roll bars from the type R that'll make a noticeable difference. The 98 spec JDM ones are the thickest. 23mm in the rear IRC.

Just bought a 1990 integra with a b20 in it. Happy u made this series man
Josh reppn" the GT-R Festival shirt. Nice.
Hey man, get some Lady Slipper Pry Bars, long and short. They really help out with suspension work.

does that quick jack have locks at least??!!! getting pretty deep under the car if there isn't a fail safe
Matthew Simmons I believe they do lock like a jack stand. Gears and Gasoline is another channel that uses them and you can hear it lock when they raise it in one of their videos.

I have a 94 Acura Integra LS, and I am trying to replace the shocks, struts, rotors, and tires. What do you guys suggest for each. I want it just for regular use, no racing. Thanks. Great videos.
Cool build so far. I think the front end is still higher than the rear end.
A wide body with some sticky wide tires would be interesting on this build tbh, not sure what would be considered wide on this car tbh though since they come with like 185s stock I’d assume?
Smart move David! I love how unique this build is :) Keep up what you're doing my dude
Bro excited to see where this integra is going, I see lots of potential. Good video, enjoyed watching it 😎👍🏼
What was the point of using a rear lower control arm too? All you “needed” was the camber adjuster right?
Hey ThatDudeinBlue! I'm loving the integra, and i'm loving your channel as a whole. I've been watching for a while, and you have some great stuff. I am especially loving this build because this is what I want to do to my integra. Keep it up man. :)
When you have a honda and now buy k tunes shirts, lol......love the series
Life for dummies Honda enthusiast over night lol
He got sponsored by them lol so he’s doing it for the free parts
David when you can get some yellow ebc brakes they will help a lot
I noticed your type r wing has a third brake light assembled. That’s cool. I got no third brake light. 😠
Do you have any plans for power, or did I miss it? I loved my Integra GSR on 7psi of boost!
About time I been waiting for you to mod this thing. 👍🏾😀 You look better as a Honda guy then a ruststang guy lol jp I love the stang to. David you starting off to a right start my man keep it up bro. Don’t listen to the ricers in the comments, saying ktune coilover are junk cause their not that was a good buy. Keep it up bro love you’re videos, I may have to make a video, about your comment section alone. Lol
SI RICKO I see you in a lot of comment sections haha mostly shutting down ricers and Honda haters 👍🏼
F Lorenzo lol got to my man it’s a must.
Hand tooling it like were in the stone age.
Could anyone tell me where I could find Josh's GT-R t-shirt ? It looks pretty damn good. I know it's a t-shirt from Motive, but can't find it !
Love this! Makes me want to pull my teg out of the garage and continue my build. I know you will eventually turbo it. Been wanting to boost mine since I bought it.
Couldn't you turn the jacks side ways and do back and front ? Instead of left and right ?
Can’t wait for this project to finish. I want to see what you’ll do with this
I have 1994 f150 short bed regular cab truck I was thing of wrapping 5.0 coyote in it what do you think I am going do some suspension mods to crown Victoria front end and four link rear coil-overs

So you'll probably have to pay more, and have them get it as close as they can. And the place I went, they charged double, because I was using coil overs.
Can honestly say it the first time i see a full interior/trunk integra
Borat reference + car video = great success
I hope you have some plans to put in a better performane-oriented transmission in that car, I'm assuming you have the stock LS transmission right now which has loooooooong gears.
I hope David puts his Integra nice and balanced suspension wise
I want to get a quick jack!! Where would be a good place to find one?
Soooooo good to see David with a Honda / Acura vehicle!
Bro awesome your building a teggy I still have mine a 95 gsr building that and my 05 tsx thanks for building a awesome lil car 🚗
Can you put the links of the parts you put into the Acura? Thank you
in the beginning theres a skateboard to the bottom right of the screen. look how small the trucks are conpared to the board.
David put vtec in it. Its called Lsvtec Frankenstein swap. you swap your head with a vtec head and you get more power, longevity of power, and better to tune
Makes me think of the Realtime SCCA Integras. Damn, did they look nice!
Like you said in the video having the right tool for the job makes things go so much faster
Can you review the ktuned coilovers? I'm thinking of picking some up
What kind of Type R does Josh have? Civic, Integra?
I love little Hondas. They are such clever toys, and great bang for buck potential.
Can you do an out of the bonnet exhaust cos I have seen one near where I live and it looks sick
I don't even wait for the video to start before I give it a like because I know I'm gonna love it
DONT adjust the ride height with the spring, the springs require a certain preload for ride quality and handling. USE the shock body to adjust ride height.
Right! I cringed so hard when dude said that.
enjoying the build so far i own a ukdm dc2 type r my second one sadly it been off the road for 2 years now as it needs a lot of but im hoping to able to start working on it again this year. looking forward to seeing more updates on your teg
Do enegry suspension bushings kit best investment I've made just takes time to install
If I get aftermarket control arms for my integra will this help with the oversteer that I'm getting? it's not to bad but it's still annoying... Or should I go with wider tires?
Hey, what size/model is that quickjack? I've been looking to get one for my integra
David, how’s the ride feel? I’m going to be doing the same work and I’m not sure what coils to go with!
What happened to the 240sx? Did he get rid of it to get this teggy?
Gotta do brakes next man, I'm in the Gainesville area if you ever need any help. Keep up the awesome content
MY only comment is on your quick jack, You should have the security arms on the outside so you don't need to reach through the tool to unlock the stand feature. Wouldn't want it to fail on your arms.
Hey thatDudeinblue when your gonna paint the integra in blue...?
Great video man! Excited to see the progress on this one!
Wait, I thought you got the 240 back though??? You were driving it a couple of videos ago saying it's back
So I wanna order this setup. When I go on the website it shows everything in pairs with a quantity of 1 so do I have to order just one quantity??
Hope you replace those inner and outer tie rods and ball joints.
Does the longer LCA push the rear wheel out further?
I dont know how you didnt snap that bolt head off on the bottom of the rear struts. Older hondas have that thin bolt and its wAY ToO SmOL
What shop do you consult for this kind of a project? Looking to do something similar.
Just like my srt4 build stock power but i got raceland coils and solid motor mounts my next mod is power steerin delete !!!
You're going to add sway bars ?
David is that a Type R? I’m confused
upgrade brakes next! or transmission! also a k-tuned short shifter i recommend if you tracking a car
I love watching these videos so much more, glad to see you get your hands dirty keep up the great work.👍
So I have a first gen prelude and I really want to make it a sleeper, does anyone know what honda motors I could swap in without doing crazy engine bay overhaul?
Loving the new integra project man!
