  • From his early high school days Phil had always been a big fan of the Acura Integra. The natural progression of his car life would to achieve the epitome of the Integra family - the Type R. His 1997 Integra Type R would eventually become his own starting from basic modifications to the JDM front end. Over time this car would endure the same rough roads together but Phil knew that in the end, they were all going to be OK - this is his Car Life story.

    @KnightDriveTV 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Let's see...I'll go like this. Great vid, great car, very chill and cool enthusiast. What I will point out though, is that if your mod life started by buying a 30.00 cai on craigslist, that essentially defines that you're a "gen2" enthusiast. I say gen 2 as in, post movie, post internet forum Honda enthusiast. Nothing about you is "OG". I started building Honda's in the 90's and there was no craigslist, no used intakes...intakes were 200.00+ and truly early stuff was simply modded domestic parts. Parts from 2004-2005 aren't OG by any means. I mean absolutely NO disrespect to the owner here, I just realize that some people think they are OG when they aren't. I had my first Honda build underway in 1996, had my first swapped Honda on a modded Camaro NOS system in 1999 (CRX with Y8 and a modded Holley NOS kit). All I know is, if you started building Honda's post 2001 (movie release, honda-tech.com founding, multiple mag launches that are now gone) then "OG" really shouldn't be in your vocabulary. That said...I mean no hate at all...just merely stating the facts.
