So I just bought my first Honda! MAN AM I EXCITED!!!!!!11!1!!ONE!

I got it from this shady lookin' dude on the other side of town who had it posted on craigslist. Apparently its an early 80's Integra with a lot of mods done to it. And when I say a lot I MEAN IT! It looks wild!!!1 He told me it had some custom fabricated bodykit that is super rare to find anywhere, and I've never seen anything like it. The only problems he said are that the actuation solenoid for the cramshafts is broke, and the gauge is missing from the dash. As he put it, "The VTEC just won't kick in anymore, yo." He also said the motor might have a couple extra cylinders in it, whatever that means. But it sounded good. ENOUGH TALK, HOW ABOUT SOME PICS?!?!??!?

The valve cover has some strange acronym cast into it,

The PO told me it stood for "Newly Integreated Super Seamless And Neoprene - Occellating Hadron Collider". Woah, those Japanese automakers sure have a way with words, LOL! Glad they made it an acronym...

The broken (I think) VTEC solenoid:

Is there any way to fix it?

Some guy named Clayton keeps trying to tell me its a "Datsun" or something, but I'm like "Lol wut, Honda never named one of their cars after a weiner dog!" I think I know what I'm talking about!! My only problem is that I'm not good with electronics, so I don't know how to fix my VTEC. Plz halp, guys, I really want to take this baby lunch tray drifting soon!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

K, thx!!
 
I think you should pull that motor and install the simple Royal Bubble 25th Dark Ebony Teal edition engine....with a snail suave shaped power adder.
 
Thanks, lol. Though an RB25DET or an L28ET is readily available to me... just can't decide which.
 
WTF? I am not sure if he's playing around or thinks it has VTEC? If he is playing around...his volume on the sarcasm is way too low for me to pick up on LMAO
 
not a bad way to spend $10,000....

sweet ride...get that rb26 in there soon. save that engine though, it's nice and clean.
 
So whats your relation to Clayton?
why does it matter? i just never would expect a noob ricer to know of him in any respect. therefore i thought something was out of place when i read the first post lol

ok shit my bad, i didnt realize he was asking the op

I've been trying to get him to post on here...
 
I like everything about that car except the exhaust. The rest of the car looks put together perfectly............then you have the crooked exhaust.
