Okay so I purchased the car in May of last year. That is when I started this build, I got rid of the Integra LS seats that were in it when I bought it and got GSR leathers. I then got rid of the crappy eBay coilovers and got PIC Selects, with an ASR subframe brace and rear sway. When I was headed home for pre-deployment leave so I could drop it off to my father to get it painted, the motor blew. I got it towed back to my mother-in-laws house and then I went on deployment in July. The car was stolen in August. It was found the same day. They stole my gauge cluster, the gauge bezel, punched my ignition, and stole my ecu. They still stole it with a blown motor. It bewilders me. But anyways, Lately, I have gotten all the parts to replace everything, here's the way the car sits right now.

Also added a Vibrant Performance Stealth black muffler.
