Hey everyone.
I sort of covered this in the 'teg picture thread but here it goes:

'97 Integra "db8" GSR sedan

GA / TX car (until a few years ago when I bought it)
I think the only thing that was aftermarket on the car when I bought it was the headunit and speakers. :D

Stock mesh rims with Hakka 1's tires for the winter

Enkei RPF-1 15" rims currently for summer DD and street tire track use (rims are 9.9# each)
Falken Azenis rt-615 currently mounted.

Borrowed Weds Sports w/ mostly used up kumho v710 r-comps for autox (thanks solless!)
Hawk HPS+ pads
SS brake lines
ASR rear sway bar reinforcemnt (painted black)
Type-R rear sway bar (usdm)
Type-R LSD
Type-R clutch
PIC apex coilovers 12k front / 10k rear rates
JR supercharger running std. pulley 5-6# boost
supports for the JRSC including Hondata s200, RC injectors, Walbro Fuel pump, and colder plugs
Siruis added to the stereo ;)

Here are some recent pictures of me driving the shiz out of this car from this weekend's autocross at Miller Park.

The day after I drove it back from TX

I purchased this car after my WRX wagon was involved in an accident that totaled the car (not my fault)
Image
I decided to not get such an expensive replacement and get a car I can race and wrench without hearing it from the accountant (the wife, and she is really an accountant)
I picked this car with aspirations for it to be a liscense plated HDPE and track event car.
In the mean time before I take over the wife's car for daily driving, this car also had to be relaible and comfortable for my 50 minute, 28 mile (each way) commute.
It had to be 4 doors since I have two little girls to pick up from day care almost every night plus general family hauling.
I guess that turned out great since I have been told that the slightly longer wheel base with help in high-speed cornering stability.

So it was a good solution to my problems of finding a fun car that will be reliable, 4 doors, cheap parts and offer that split personality of daily driver to full blown track and fun car.
