Zombine-NZ's honda

[Zombine-NZ]

Hey people, First post here, Thought I'd open up by showing what car I drive, Being an automotive driven forum it is.

Car is a 1997 honda integra vti-r. Engine is a 96 spec integra type R motor, Running stock wide ratio open diff gearbox (Have a 98 spec gearbox being rebuilt at the moment for it!), J's racing intake, J's Racing headers, custom 2.5" exhaust from headers to rear muffler (no cat), Car is only lowered on springs at the moment but will be sorting some camber arms and adjustable suspension in the next year. Exterior mods are relatively simple, front lip from a facelift integra type R, Zeal side skirts and a mugen gen 1 wing (Have a 98 spec itr rear bumper getting painted at the moment). Have owned this car for around 5 years now, When I bought it, it was completely stock, And it is my daily driver.




Thanks

Funny seeing you here This car is GORGEOUS in person

Engine bay is looking clean.
The 98 spec gearbox has a slightly shorter ratio making it better for track use. But the gearbox you have on it now is not the 96 spec? (as there is no lsd)

[Zombine-NZ]

Nope not even an itr box on there (That's why I said wide ratio open diff box ), So going from my current box to a 98 spec will be a big step up (Y)

Thanks Not seen much of your supra though?

New gearbox, clutch, flywheel and solid rear engine mount is in. Put new crank seals, cambelt, tensioner and waterpump on too when the gearbox went on New gear ratio's are awesome! Nearly ready for opening round of night speed drag wars Got some hankook Z211 semi's for at the drags too, hopefully help me hook up alot better

Little did I know my radiator was blocked, And amongst going through traffic in the middle of auckland, It decided to split its top tank! Have sorted an alloy replacement so will be getting that next weekend

Motor out, cleaned and painted up with headers sitting on there to see what its going to look like


Need to get some decent pics of the bay.

Nice goodies.... new gearbox, lsd goodness .
She pulls hard btw, wheelspin in 2nd? (mine does that also sometimes )
How many solid engine mounts are in there atm? all 5?
Because i have 5 solid mounts (3x hassport solid mounts and 2 energy suspensions inserts.) and she vibrates like an.... well erm... she vibrates, the whole chassis.
But the feeling of the gearbox is great and switching gears is super easy. Offcource no wheelhop anymore.

Thanks for the comments guys

Radiator top tank split, so replaced it with an alloy item.

Getting rid of the crush bent 2.5" (63mm) exhaust in favour of a mugen exhaust which is a nice mandrel bent 60mm item.

Managed to collect a possum on my way home from the monthly car club meet (nzhondas.com) and lost my front lip So will need to get a new one - Time for a change!

Had our annual car club trackday at taupo, Car went great Can see my car in this video
