Have to be able to visualize it. Then, in my case, I have to turn it into a beautiful, desirable work of art. Not just a...another hair-brained scheme and somehow paint that picture for my Lady.A saint she is, the patience of a saint! 😘 and she won't even be reading this! A three-part garage and a two Bay detached for my "projects" from a '54 Harley to a DeLorean with an Olds 455 out of a '72 toranado that was a similar project to this in ways.
It looks like a very difficult build... I cannot understand why it wasnt built with a big turbo, or at least built to have room for one at least... blows my mind.. I mean that light car RWD with a boosted h22 mounted midships would have crazy high performance on a track, a strip or the street...
@@mynameisesteves not really, if you look at the time attack cars, many of them are FWD or AWD. RWD is great because is fun, the speed and tracktion loss problems are now a thing of the past.
As a man who body dropped his own blazer and fitted IRS from a vette into the rear, I will say the follow through and the level of detail on this is the most remarkable roo me. My blazer isn't finished and I started it in 2002.
This is incredible! It gives me hope! For some reason when ever I see a 2005ish Celica i imagine it to be a mid/rear engine car. Have always wanted to build mide engine Celica, and this is proof with enough patience, dedication, and brain, anything can be built!!!!
This is 10+ years old. This Integra competed in Sport Compact Car's Ultimate Street Car Challenge years ago. I probably still have the issue if I can dig it out the box. Old news, but it was definitely an epic build back in the day!
Who the hell is disliking this? Even if you're not a fan of the car or setup, the work put into this is amazing. It took time dedication and mad skills. 76 people right now can't appreciate hard work. *smh*
maybe those people can't appreciate the terrible music, zero explanation, and nothing but photos. maybe those people are let down for what could have been amazing. no one thinks the build and craftsmanship sucks, i promise you that. do you want to be facebook friends with me?
That's wild, Much respect to the person(s) involved in this build. If I were to ever do anything like this I'd probably go with a FR layout and an S85 swap.
Rather build a car the way I want rather going out buying a car already made. Give mad props to this guy for the craftsmanship he's put in. Lot of people wouldn't do it but he had the time and patience to do it all and with all that. He made something awesome bc he built it. That's what makes your own build personal. Just saying....
Koi. If I remember correctly, the builder sold the car and it ended up going to some collector guy that put it in storage or something. This was built years ago. I remember following the build thread on (I think) hondatech.com

Amazing craftsmanship! I’ve always wanted to do this before I had ever heard of anyone doing it! This is like a kid’s dream coming to fruition!! Thank you for sharing!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Super amazing, and very inspiring that hey did things to actually make it practical on the street like retaining AC and using a lot of sound deadening. I'm curious what the final curb weight ended up being. Very cool.
Dude I just want to compliment you on the awesomeness of this and on your awesomeness for taking all of these pictures and showing each freaking step. I work at a body shop and I've done mechanics my whole life and I have never seen anything the school and this much attention to detail. You rock dude
Nah,these setups dont match stock honda configuration.people who do all the work wont tell you it doesnt handle as good and wasted their time...you want the weight out front in a honda its been engineered that way. Best handling rwd honda only turn engine and build channel...
This car was built over 10 years ago, and I think it was at Willow Springs for the defunt mag, Compact Sports Cars competition and it placed in 2nd Place. You have to know how to balance this set up. If you don't think it can be done then look at this old car, the Crown Corvair, now he did all the work and it is Balanced, you get to see it drive and the review of it of how good it is: th-cam.com/video/3hKn8idEaZE/w-d-xo.html
Digging the aero stuff- splitter, undertrays, diffuser, etc. Those NACA ducts look awesome and I love how you did the rear firewall/ engine cover. Great build, and no more shitty FWD torque steer. Lol. Nice work.
sir may the Honda gods bless you ....let the vtec roar ....i remember as a kid talking about building something like this but actually seeing someone do it it's hard to put words into it this type of effort is only done by those who love the car and u my friend are a hero amongst few
Excellent work. That was the last good Integra model and I loved the one I owned even though it got stolen several times and finally got stripped, basturds. Yours is so unique, I bet Acura would buy it back from you.
Yet another legendary build thread destroyed by the Photobucket debacle. FYI the thumbnail for this video is my photo that I took over 10 years ago when Dave came through Memphis on his way to CA. The build was started in 2004 and completed in 2007.
Wow!! This is truly amazing. The craftsmanship, creativeness, and attention to detail is outstanding. Mad props! Is there any video of this masterpiece ripping around a track?
Awesome Job Bro I wish you could help me do this to my 1998 Acura Integra GSR Sonic blue pearl Teggy and put two v8 engines one in the front and one in the back awesome woohoo 💪😎🙏
Love the car its amazing..but the dash gotta go looks like something out of a kia. Shoulda stuck with the oem dash. But mad props to you man...mad hrs. Into this.
No no back in fhe 90 in DR master mechanic Ricardo Rodriguez did it in a honda prelude with NSX engine running 11 seconds all motor the owner of that car was Lucho Campusano..
Amazing job. Very professional in all the details. Now… you only have to do the crash test for 5 star rating… p.s. Quick question : where does the hot air from the radiator go ? does it stay in and keep the spare tire warm ? ;)
Peter Correa, the thing is… at one point in the video, I was hoping that they would close the bottom part… then they did. However, I might have missed something but where does the hot air go ? ;)
I love how everything is done like it would come from the factory. A/C, cruise and all. Even a spare tire! Mad respect!
I can't think of a project that is more difficult than this build. Mad respect..

Tony Coppotelli did u use autocad
this is a cool build but there is a DC2 Integra with a rear mounted NSX V6
It looks like a very difficult build... I cannot understand why it wasnt built with a big turbo, or at least built to have room for one at least... blows my mind.. I mean that light car RWD with a boosted h22 mounted midships would have crazy high performance on a track, a strip or the street...
Johnzy is it rwd? Very pointless if it's rear engine and fwd.
Nice build, but there's one thing missing.....a clip of it being driven.
Yea I was hopeing for the same thing
Beside donuts you wont find much to look at,all they are good for after is drag racing
@@vincevegacustoms754 it's mid engine, I bet it can be much more fun and also faster arround the track than most fwd cars.
@@mynameisesteves not really, if you look at the time attack cars, many of them are FWD or AWD. RWD is great because is fun, the speed and tracktion loss problems are now a thing of the past.
That is one of the best rear mounted engine conversions ive ever seen! Much respect
If they made integrals rwd from the factory that would have been awesome, kind of like Toyota's supra, Acura would have had a cool rwd coupe
i love integrals
Propane and propane accessories nsx
Very True.
Speechless on the build details. Looks 100% OEM....
El Lobo oem?
The fabrication behind this is amazing

Beautifully done.., as if it was the way it was supposed to be built from the factory. Can't say enough about it.., just beautiful..

You must be in some sort of mechanical engineering to know how to do all this stuff you did in this build. Very nice!
I remember watching this build from 13 years ago on Team-Integra!

@@boobam3648 I'm late but you sound like a dick. Than again My internet won't load the stupid video
I'm speechless all that hard work paid off . I have never seen a project so neat and organized. This is what you wanted. Great job 🚗💤
This car was built back in the early 2000s. It was feature in superstreet magazine
got mad skills. any company would be happy to hire them with no problems.
That's wild, Much respect to the person(s) involved in this build.
If I were to ever do anything like this I'd probably go with a FR layout and an S85 swap.
This is amazing, well done sir.
Znt This is like the NSX having a little brother with this build
One of the best builds ever. Finally it’s in a slide show haha
wow!!! this is truly an amazing build if not the best!!!!

Yes kshep. U r correct. He used a 4g prelude front for the rear of the car. I think the car was in a magazine too.
Amazing craftsmanship! I’ve always wanted to do this before I had ever heard of anyone doing it! This is like a kid’s dream coming to fruition!! Thank you for sharing!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome, i love this Acura. Nice to see the blood, sweat & tears it took to complete this. Vary nice

truly an incredible build. much respect
I love Integras... The LS model, GSR, and the Type R...
Great project!! I must say, I was waiting for a video at the end...
I'm not a Honda lover but you have to respect the engineering this guy did believe it or not I didn't skip or stop the vid great vid bud great build
Exactly what Honda should have done from the start! You are an awesome builder!!
Nah,these setups dont match stock honda configuration.people who do all the work wont tell you it doesnt handle as good and wasted their time...you want the weight out front in a honda its been engineered that way.

Some dedication for sure. RWD RX-7 does the job already for me, but your build is unique.
Digging the aero stuff- splitter, undertrays, diffuser, etc. Those NACA ducts look awesome and I love how you did the rear firewall/ engine cover. Great build, and no more shitty FWD torque steer. Lol. Nice work.
The integra should've came stock with RWD and a 6speedMANUAL TRANSMISSION

You have to keep this thing forever.
Who ever built this did an excellent job I want one built by him
Is there video of this car in action at the track or a review video showing actual video footage of it vs a photo-log?
Now that's craftsmanship....great job
Excellent work. That was the last good Integra model and I loved the one I owned even though it got stolen several times and finally got stripped, basturds. Yours is so unique, I bet Acura would buy it back from you.
Someone who REALLY like integra's!
Shout-out to ever broke this man’s heart😮
It will be awesome if it also had an engine at the front.
fuzzfizz I think someone already did that if I can remember
Where would you even begin amazing work

So u built this or jus the one in the thumb nail pic........fyi that pic is of this build
Dave Dunn built the car from 2004 to 2007. I took the photo that is used for the thumbnail, when Dave visited Memphis in 2007.
You did this project in your own small garage. Cool.
A truly awesome and stunning build. Looks perfect!
i love this wish I could get that help on my 98 Integra ls
next mods should be a built high compression all motor with this f20b and wider, thicker race tires but huge props on this build. much respect
It's a h22a4 witch puts out a good amount of stock power but with some bolt on parts an a good tune would be crazy
Wow the attention to details on this thing was amazing. Wish there was video footage of it.
Insane build. Mad respect.
This integra came out sexy! I like it. Nice craftsmanship. Takes a lot of heart and guts to build your integra like this. #Respect
I've always loved the look of integras but hated that they were fwd. This is sick!
Bro you have mad skills 😎😎😎😎👍👍👍
This brought joy to my face
Great build. I almost fast forwarded the video. But I had to watch it in it's entirety. Amazing. Gotta respect the man hours put into this.
This is really cool!! I hope smogging it wont be a problem 🤔
Prelude dash and door panels too??
Insane amount of work , literally insane.
Craftsman . I would have gone and found a sec gen mr2 and called it a day.
Justin bustin But would that be an interesting build? Sources tell me no.
krocialblack I agree
Pontiac Fiero
Track width is different
@@guardrail2897 u nasty
Remember reading about this car in SportCompactCar
This guy did an AWESOME job, a true engineer.
This is a real build, amazing work.
Wow, that's a lot of work to transform the car to snap over-steer. Although got to respect the attention to detail and workmanship.
Wow i take my hat of for u truly an amazing build.
..you have no idea how hard I cheered at 17:33. No carbon monoxide poisoning! Maybe a plexiglass window in the future for that cover...
really skimped out on the whole nice engine cover huh? badass car though!
i want to do this to my 3g eclipse some day, inspiration
"Impressive.. most impressive"
Primo build a-z so so clean hella good job guys
With the greatest respect, I ask this question: did you do it just to say it could be done?
It's nice but good lord the music and amount of pictures just makes me want to stop watching the video
tell me about it i hate the video love the build
Lol, the Pontiac mat through the wheel well while you build the Honda version of a Fiero.
I remember seeing this build on Honda tech many many years ago
Thank you for sharing... you are a true craftsman!
amazing fabrication..! I wish I had the skills..!!!!!
I own three Integras and well thank you sir
Wow!! This is truly amazing. The craftsmanship, creativeness, and attention to detail is outstanding. Mad props! Is there any video of this masterpiece ripping around a track?
WOW. Respect man. I've wanted to do this build since I got my first integra in 2000, using the same H22 motor.
Awesome Job Bro I wish you could help me do this to my 1998 Acura Integra GSR Sonic blue pearl Teggy and put two v8 engines one in the front and one in the back awesome woohoo 💪😎🙏
JDM Front End Will Be Amazing
Brap Sutututu this^^
USDM ftw
Beautiful build.
Proper looks good mate
Million dollar integra awesome
amazing work, truly beautiful and tons of work amazing solid car nice prelude theme goin on but amazing stock integra look on the outside .
Its now a Acura Prelude that's RWD
Wow, Fantastic!!
What was/is the weight distribution front and rear?
Super well done, super inspiring!!!
It's the NSX baby brother lol 😂 nice build bro
he made a rwd integra in his garage but honda still made their new type r fwd.
Sir Squirrelio its enough that its turbo,would not be a type r if it wasnt fwd...and put both on a track the stock type r is ahead of this one,fwd ftw
Love the car its amazing..but the dash gotta go looks like something out of a kia. Shoulda stuck with the oem dash. But mad props to you man...mad hrs. Into this.

That was a really goid job looks like it came from honda😆
So awesome! Tons of hard work here would be easy to make it 4 wheel steering to ;)
awesome build.!!
Got any notes or extra pics from this build? About to attempt the same with a 6-speed J-series v6.
Nice build.. one love from canada
Whoa nice mr2 !
Nuts! Well done!
should have done a clear top so that people can see the engine from the hatch. but other than that this is what dreams are made of!!!!
