After several weeks of searching through classified ads to find a decent car for my bro'(any car is decent compared to the Regal anyway), we finally found a real gem, this Acura Integra 1992. Since the car was owned by a thirty-something year old mom and regularly inspected and tuned-up at the dealer, the car was really in mint condition. Since we really could't imagine mommy doing some smokey burnouts with the handbrake on everyday before going to work, my brother bought it two days after we went to check it out. The insurance's maybe high but with the fuel bills he had with the Regal, it kinda evens out(plus it's a real hoot to drive).
Those numbers are probably going to change with time.
- 0 to 100km/h: Around 8.5 to make the run since he raced against J.F.(Civic Si 1991) and pummeled him good, although J gave a good run up to half of second gear. The motor gets really scary when you hit 4500rpm, where it really starts to pull.
-Top speed: Around 205km/h. A sixth gear would be very welcomed(since the installation of the Brulen exhaust, highway cruising response is noticeably quicker. The sound when the throttle is floored is also a lot nicer.
-Handling: Really good. Especially since the addition of 205 50R15 rubbers. The strut bar improved considerably handling although the best would be
to change the shocks and springs for something stiffer.
Those are the parts added until this time.

Those are some of the pictures we've taken of the car. Pictures are divided in sections, a new section is added whenever new parts are added so it's gonna be like an evolution-type thing. The picture sections are linked to the prior modifications/aftermarket parts section. Some have some funny spots on them but hell, decided to put them on anyway (damn that old 35mm camera, it's a shame I got problems with my digital one).

This is a frontal-sideway one. 
One of the back of the car. 
Here's one of the blurred steering wheel and dashboard.
One of the driver cockpit. Notice the fancy Momo pedals and shift knob, again with the blurred effect...
This is one of the motor compartment, which has changed a bit since this picture was taken.
Here's one of a rubber burning session.

This is the motor compartment, quite different than the previous shot.
This picture was taken after a good wash and after we installed J's wheels to try them out on the Integra.
This is a recent picture of the car, showing the new 205/50/r15 tires.

Those are different sounds from the car. They're "zipped".
This is one of an hard acceleration.This one is about an hard acceleration in second gear up to the rev limiter at 7000rpm.This one is a burnout maintained shortly in the 6000rpm range.This is a pass my brother made under full acceleration while going over the recorder, which was placed on the road.Here's one of the car starting.This is the motor revving, with the distinctive sound of the intake system.Here's the car shutting down with the distinctive sucking sound of the intake.This is an acceleration, with the rev limiter being hitted in second, to 75mph in a school zone...
