To be honest this video doesn’t properly display how fun this is.
They are fantastic…..
Well except the cup holders….I will keep posting about this GSR until the end of time. I am so excited about this project. I know that Eric is going to build this car right. He has wanted it for 15 years, and now he has it. He’s not going to ruin it like many younger kids have for years and years. It’s going to look and go better than it did from the factory. He did maintenance on the car, and he knows that it was well maintained. It has a little rust around the rear wheel wells, but other than that, the car is as straight as a die. I was at the meet up this past weekend, and before I saw the car in person, I didn’t think the car looked good in the videos. The car is actually really nice in person. Seeing how clean it was really made me excited for the project. Honestly, I am more excited for the GSR than for the Fairmont. I think it’s because of the expertise that Eric has with the platform and the vehicle, him being an Acura master tech and all. It’s not going to be a lot of fabrication, it will be right in his wheelhouse of repairing and improving an already great running car with great running gear. I know it will be a while before we see any ECTG videos, but please keep a trickle of ETCG1 videos coming.
That rust in the rear wells is actually really common.
They have this rubber piece that slides over them from the inside if you look at them closely and this piece traps in water and salt.
I was actually surprised that he hasn’t taken those off yet.
I was glad to see the spark plug wire cover on the car, I don’t know how people lose those all the time and they’re expensive!!!I just hope he cleans that engine bay soon! I was wanting to clean it for him! Lol

Yea, I almost wish I didn’t say anything about this car until after I finished the Fairmont as there are a lot of people that seem to feel the same way you do.
I am in the same boat Eric, ever since I started driving in the US, my first car was 02 RSX-S, my dad helped me got it and it was used. I live in NYC at that time and the integra’s and civic’s pre-immobilizer era are getting stolen so much and it was actually hard to get a slightly used integra, so I went with the RSX-S, which is essentially the integra as well. This was back in 2006. I love that car so much with the K20. This integra you have is also legendary, lots and I mean a lot of aftermarket parts. You can go N/A or Jackson supercharger and set up for track, auto-x, all sorts of great project for this integra. You can do JDM as well. I have DVD’s of best moroting where the Legend Keiichi Tsuchiya drove the Type R, such a sweet car. Plus with the shape you got it, not beaten up and not modified is great. Can’t wait for this project!
