Most know this car better as Justin’s old turbo GSR. I picked up this clean shell from Justin about a year ago as a bare shell with no interior, suspension, or front end. The front end was tweaked pretty good. Well after 3 parts cars and a few bucks. Its become my latest project… ![http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad213/cfdproductions/cars/Justins%20Integra/DSC03590copy.jpg](http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad213/cfdproductions/cars/Justins%20Integra/DSC03590copy.jpg) ![http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad213/cfdproductions/cars/Justins%20Integra/DSC03480copy.jpg](http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad213/cfdproductions/cars/Justins%20Integra/DSC03480copy.jpg) ![http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad213/cfdproductions/cars/Justins%20Integra/DSC03558copy.jpg](http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad213/cfdproductions/cars/Justins%20Integra/DSC03558copy.jpg) Then this, ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/C1VIC/DSC03713.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/C1VIC/DSC03713.jpg) Just about when I got it. I threw a suspension in it to make it easier to roll around. I also picked up a few body parts for it. ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02948.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02948.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02950.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02950.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02949.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02949.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02947.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02947.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02952.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02952.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02954.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02954.jpg) LS parts car. Ialso picked up a 99’ GSR shell for parts as well. ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02953.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC02953.jpg) ![http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/189200_10150108133921463_641466462_6882230_6690745_n.jpg](http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/189200_10150108133921463_641466462_6882230_6690745_n.jpg) ![http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/200496_10150119197321463_641466462_6977506_7407817_n.jpg](http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/200496_10150119197321463_641466462_6977506_7407817_n.jpg) The plan was to replace from the firewall up. Just before the shock towers was tweaked, so I didnt want to risk having the towerrs off. So I picked up another GSR for parts. Drilled out all the spot weld’s in both cars. Burning out all the seam sealer with a torch is the easiest way to get it out. ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03096.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03096.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03100.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03100.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03102.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03102.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03097.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03097.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03099.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03099.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03098.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03098.jpg) Set the front end on the car.

This is how it sits as of today. ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03113.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03113.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03112.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03112.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03118.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03118.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03116.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/Integra%20GSR/DSC03116.jpg) The LS motor I am using.

Pull the LS motor apart and get the B16 head on it. ---

I wanted those but the one trailing arm was bent. I will but they maybe going on my civic. Yea the passanger one is bent a little.I am still going to use everything off it though and just swap it to a different arm. You dont need the whole trailing arm to swap in rear disk. I actually already had a full GSR interior in the LS, so no loss there lol. Finished up welding the clip on, seam sealed it, painted some of the bay black, undercoated the front end, mounted the front suspension, and torn the engine down to the lower end today. I need to find some ARP washers for my headstuds, I am missing 7 of them. Otherwise the heads ready to go on. ---
