Was meaning to post this ever since I got the car back in March, but finally got around to take pictures of the bloody thing 
but here she is. I call her Princess Peach. I don't exactly know why but I'm not good with "serious" names; all my phone contacts are silly so might as well make this one too 
Anyways, here she is:
The day I got her (yakima rack not included. Not that I wanted it anyways).
..and after a drive back and Del Taco break:
wash me lol
Nothing particularly special about the acquisition. Found it on Craigslist after a couple months of searching and letting some slip away. Almost exactly what I had been looking for sans the sunroof, but it's not a big deal since it'll come in handy during the summer. Listed with 135k on the chassis (and mind you, the chassis is a GS-R one), and the motor is a B18B1 from an Integra LS (1.8L, ~140hp), with a "claimed" 85k of mileage. Has coilovers front and rear with respective cross-drilled rotors as well. As you can tell, it includes the JDM front-end upgrade off of a Ti Integra (i checked lol), a "Type-R" lip based off the USDM one, and a ViS Carbon Fiber hood. It also, surprisingly, had the side-molding removed and sealed off. Only issue is the left side has a scratch where it would've been. Anyways it's also got blacked out side indicators, a wider rear view mirror, LS mesh rims, painted white, with (get this) 4-different tires; 3 rotational, and 1 standard. A Pirelli, Falken, Continental, and a Hankook. 10/10. Came with a Spyder Cold Air Intake, but wouldn't fit with the JDM conversion so I just got some generic one off of eBay for like $40.
$3,800, got her for $3,300 which I thought was pretty cool.
For what it is, it is what it is. I know that made no sense but the car does have it's issues. When we got it, it was lowered to the point that driving around here was a surefire way of ripping the front bumper off, the car was dirty and dusty as hell, the leather seats were ripped, the sunroof was stuck closed, the passenger side door wasn't aligned properly (same for the front end and hood), the hood was warped and peeling, the hatch didn't work without the key period, radio didn't work at all, and same with the antenna. It was missing a transmission mount, had no wing, no spare tire, no tools, no fender liners, no mud guards, no air filter (even though it had a cold air intake), had crap tires, crap wipers, crap boots, and has a leak somewhere in the Power Steering line. I also found out, after the day it finally rained here in California
, that water got in through the right tail light. Previous owner must've tried to separate the headlight, got bored, said 🤬 it, and left it out.
However, with a little RR, the car is practically perfect (for me at least) to drive.
What my father and I did for about two weeks was basically get the car back to road worthy condition, at least where I live. Raising the suspension (function > form), refilling the fluids, getting new mounts, pins (since the interior was missing a lot of them), spare tire, jack, tools, etc., replacing the tie rods and boots, and installing new fender inners and mud guards. I also purchased a steering wheel cover and seat covers to hide the tears in the seats.
Right now, I plan to use it to just get me through college (and work if possible), so I'm not going all out on the mods. Right now the current plans are (or my to do list. I'll update it regularly if I can):

Yeah, that's her. Here are some more picture I took on that picture taking spree I had. I think I'm good enough to be a professional photographer eh?
/s
-Might lower the front a wee-bit, but considering the ridiculous dips by my neighborhood, I think it's smarter to leave it at that. That side skirt is also not the same color as the rest of the car. I believe it's Frost White whereas the car itself is Championship White. Also note the GoPro and Apple stickers, which I smartly duplicated on the other side
My mum's car with mine. IF you look carefully, you'll notice the "VTEC" sticker which I should remove since this sadly doesn't have VTEC, but I'm afraid of any damage that might cause to the paint.
Rear-end shot. You probably can't see it (thanks to the ePiC L3n$ Fl4Re), but the rear bumper is peeling away, so I'll have to repaint that soon.
Full-shot. Whaddya think of it?
Quick interior shot. Since it's a GS-R chassis, it comes with leather everything. Has that one random "racing" brake pedal. Looks alright here, thanks to the seats being covered. Also have Toon Lunk guarding me against any Shreks that I might encounter when I hit 300 mph and teleport to the Swamp Round.
To end off, I also honored my DC2 with the bossest sticker I could've ever spent my money on.👍

- Get some new 🤬 tires. Seriously. The RR tire had signs of (I don't know what the word is) like "peeling" almost? Like there's a bit of fiber or whatever coming out from inside the RR tire. I figure it's due to the lowered nature before I got it. Also the FR tire seems to leak a little. It read at 25ish while the other three read 30-35ish. Planning to invest in some good tires but I'd also like advice as to which tires will do fine without costing a motherload (under $400? About? They're 195/55/R16 by default, yet none of the tires on it right now are that size)
That right tail light *might* need replacing.
- Plasti-dip them wheels. They were originally alloy and I'd like them that true "Type-R" white
Fix the leak from unknown area. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the Power Steering, but I have no clue where it's coming from right now. Go figure lol.
Antifreeze coming from wherever and pooling on one of the fans. Either it's a hole in the hose, the hose is't tightened enough, or something because sometimes I find it on the fan.
Completely remove the tint from the rear window. Easy, it's just that I've been lazy with it lol.
- Replace the wiper blades. It rains like, iunno, once a year here so it's not a big concern right now lol
- Get a GTP sticker. Gotta represent yo.
- Fix the Carbon Fiber Hood. Right now, it's just warped so badly that it's makes the whole front end look rather bleh. I've purchased some hood pins in attempt to fix it, but I'll probably have to drill new holes in the radiator support since no two existing holes are symmetrical from each other. (pic below, not the best but trust me, the left side is higher than the right)
- Interested in a full catback system with headers and all.
