    DA is the chassy code for the 90-93 Integra. The front lip I have is from a 90-91. The 92-93 integra bumper is slightly different. Dont know if that one works. If you go to the junkyard this is the bumper my lip came from....

    I agree that it would be a shame to drill self tap screws on your Brand New bumper. Thats the easy way out but if you take your time you can drill some holes neatly and use the OEM hardware so it can be just like a factory bolt on. Mine in temporally held by self tapped screws but I will reinstall it with the OEM hardware. You can find that hardware in any honda in the junkyard with OEM lips installed.

    Dizzle's 90 Accord front lip also looks great on his rear bumper. I was debating on getting that one but the DA lip will compliment my SIR Bumper lip that l will be installing soon.

    im being lazy and not looking properly for the answer dude, but what front splitter is that?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    1st generation Integra
  • Looks great man. Like you were thinking, a rear lip would set it off very nicely...
  • B18C5-EH2B18C5-EH2 Moderator
    Yeah I know the 90-93 is the DA style Integra, but some people call the 1st-gen ones DA too for some reason. I just wanted to be 100% about it.

    One of my best friend's Dad is selling his 90 Integra soon, so that bitch's front lip will be coming off soon for test fitment.

    ;)

    Thanks for the kind words guys. It's a work in progress that must be done before the baby comes - after that I wn't be able to justify any money past fuel, maintenance, and tires.

    well then you better hurry up!

    what are your future plans? looks like you need some EDM/JDM tails :wink:

    Nah believe it or not I'm not abig JDM/EDM fan really. I'd have never had the JDM headlights and corners if they weren't already on the Wago when I bought it. To me there's not enough difference in the tails to make me want to buy some for $$$ and still ne used and probably not as shiny/nice as the USDM currently on the car.

    Up next for the wago will be

    1. Swapping out the LS tranny (still mint, but I like shorter gearing) for a YS1 93 GS-R tranny with an LS 5th gear for highway cruising rpm.

    2. Recovering driver's seat to fix the standard bolster wear

    3. *Rear lip* - this is debatable depending on availability and my effort
  • TIMELESSWHITETIMELESSWHITE Senior Wagonist
    Gsr tranny is going to be a nice compliment to that motor. Props

    BTW I have since had the body shop respray the bumpers because in the sunlight, and at a distance it was obvious that the color was too light on the bumpers. they matched the paint code, but didn't get an actual sample from the car like the gas door.

    Evidently the owner before me had it repainted and the color code and the actual color differ slightly.

    Now the bumpers are glossier, match perfect, and are just overall slicker since they were able to sand and repaint over fresh paint instead of straight new plastic like the first time.

    I have no current current pics of the bumpers up close as of right now. It's probably not something notciable in pics as much as it was to me in person, but I'm picky.

    No 2WD - it's got a B18B LS swap in it, so a 4WD and B series would require way more work than I care to do for my daily driver car.

    86-93 Integras chassis codes all start with DA. Only difference is the number behind it.

    The bumper above that NJ got his lip off of is the 90-91 bumper. The 92-93 lips are kinda similar to the lips on the 94ish Accords.

    Ive been a DB1 owner since 96. So Ive kinda absorbed everything I could find out about them. I dont know everything of course, but I know the 90-93 teggys pretty good ;)

    Just fyi's to help clarify a little.

    Nice little hatchy there too.

    Questions about your upper control arms though. Were they made for the EF's specifically? And if so, which one? Also, was the caster the same as the stockers? TIA.
  • B18C5-EH2B18C5-EH2 Moderator
    Yes Shenrie the Skunk 2 upper control arms are fairly new (the design) and were engineered specifically for the EF and DA chassies. I'm honestly not sure about the caster adjustments as mine measured in the green on the alignment rack.

    As far as the hatch goes Revmaynard has ridden in it - it's a high 12 second car with nothing more than a i/h/e and tuned B18C5 swap making 178whp/132ft-lbs. of torque to the wheels pulling only 1990lbs. The suspension was set up for auto X with 425F/550R springs, so it lift-off oversteers (again Rev can attest ;) ) with ease.

    I happen to drive the wagon every day though due to the comfy sus set-up, interior, quiet exhaust, a/c, and stereo.

    After my son is born I'm not sure when I'll get to drive the EG because I'll be the one carrying him to my Mom's every day on my way into work.

    :(

    It might have more style, but the hatch will pull high 12's in the 1/4 mile...I don't see my wagon doing that any time soon/ever.

    Well damn. Its about time. Ive called Skunk a few times in the past about those kits for the DA/EF's and they always told me that they were more concerned about the newer Hondas coming out rather than focus on the older ones that noone bought anymore???? Glad they finally decided to make them. Are you happy with them?

    Your hatch puts down the same exact hp as my wagon, but with another 8 foot pounds. What all is done to it?

    Love them - as low as my wagon sits the kits never hit the shock tower sheet metal.

    USDM 1998 B18C5 - 100% stock internals inc. cams, pistons, etc. - never been apart
    AEM CAI
    DC 4-1 "JDM" header with 2.5'' collector
    Tanabe exhaust
    gutted 2.5'' cat
    Uberdata tuned P28
    Skunk 2 cam gears at +4, -2
    CTR crank pulley

    ...and not much else by way of making power.

    It makes such great midrange power - I picked up +30whp and torque in the midrange area when I switched from a regular rechipped P28 to Uberdata set-up and tuning. Actually I picked up the +30/+30 from tuning with a V-AFC and FPR on a chipped P28. the Uberdata just got better gas mileage, and added check engine shift light and drag launch features.

    I ran 13.3@104mph with the previous no midrange set-up about 4 years ago. I was only getting 2.2 60 footers too, so I imagine a solid 1.8 60 footer on slicks and the extra midrange and slight peak number improvements should be a high 12 or so.

    Funny part is that I didn't build it for drag racing. I used to auto-x a lot and I wanted something I could drive to the events and have fun in, then drive home with zero drama. The B18C5 has taken all the abuse I can dish out now for EIGHT YEARS so I will not tear it down until I need to - then I'll upgrade pistons, cams, valvetrain, etc.

    Besides the wagon gets all the love lately. It's 98 degrees right now in metro ATL, Georgia - my wagon blows 36 degrees so it's an easy choice on which to drive to work.
  • TIMELESSWHITETIMELESSWHITE Senior Wagonist
    Wagon's blowing high 30's of cold Air... gee-yuh!!
  • no joke,

    i rather have it blowing my popcircle ...
    but hey no go, its 2008 ...

    yo B !
    somehow i get the wrong association when i see those two pipes together

    118.jpg
    nice dick, you traced your own i guess, and u forgot to drop a U on top

    : )

    ps. nope not ghey, not me ...

    i so much regret those speedbumps we have when i see that kind of drop
    and nice tint, coat or film ?
  • B18C5-EH2B18C5-EH2 Moderator
    The tint?

    It's film, and IMO it's got to go soon. Some of the edges are just starting to peel slightly, and it's not as clear as it should be. A friend of mine does tint so it should be getting redone some time soon.

    I normally don't tint my windows (see the EG hatch?) but with my first born son coming next month I'd like to give him some extra shade and comfort. It's either keep some tint, or buy lots of Winnie the Pooh baby shades for the windows.

    :P
