Hello all, have been a browser on here for a few years now with little input so though I'd share...
This is my second DC2, the first I had around 2013 for about a year, should have kept it as it was much cleaner than this one
autocar wrote a to buy or not to buy on my for sale advert too
https://www.autocar.co.uk/opinion/motoring/buy-or-not-buy-1997-honda-integra-dc2-type-r-4599
I got this DC2 in 2015, used it daily for about 3 weeks then it sat in the garage until the end of last year, its fairly tidy bar a couple of car park dings.
The aim was to make a trackday/weekend car, so nothing too extreme!
A few pictures of the car before any work was done, underside components were in bad/average condition for their age but the shell wasn't too bad, no major rust/rot just surface.

I decided it was easier to buy new arms and wishbones etc complete with new bushes as oppose to re-bush and power coat the existing.
Started the build back up…
