Prior to the DC5 I had a 2008 E88 BMW 135i, wicked car in it's own regards and would love another one later in life. Before the BMW I had a VW Polo 9N3 GTI... I missed the feeling of a lightweight B road basher Swapped the BMW for the Integra on 09/02/2019 and have owned it since then. 2001, Championship White, PFL, B Pack, Imported in 2006. Upon initial inspection the bodywork didn't look to bad a couple of months down the line the drivers rear arch has rusted now has a hole in it, the passengers is starting to get the same way. The front drivers wing is starting to show signs. I only ever really use the car on weekends so it doesn't bother me massively, it will eventually get sorted though, will purchase some new rear quarters.

There's probably a few bits I've missed but this is all I can think of at the minute, I've got a couple of parts from this weekend ready to go on which are: Tegiwa adjustable steering arms, Hardrace tie rod ends, Tegiwa rear camber arms and some AliExpress Hasport engine mounts. I'm also waiting on a lad to message me about a Kakimoto GT1.Oz connected to a Long Life B pipe so that should be here within a couple of weeks!

I have a few more plans for the next few weeks so should be a few updates with photos to follow....
 
I still miss mine, but looking at the MOT history for it after i sold it i think i was right to get out when i did. There was no rust evident on the car when i sold it in 2011 i think so only 7 years old but it read as if it's turned in to a pile of dust on each MOT afterwards :(
