Forgot to post this here whoops!
Due to some unfortunate circumstances I no longer have my 2008 civic that I did my previous build in
Ive decided to make the best of the situation and purchased a 1995 Acura Integra. Ive never owned anything other than a honda and know these in and out. They are reliable, easy to work on and have tons of potential for cosmetic and performance upgrades.
The car I picked up is rough around the edges cosmetically on the exterior and a few things in the interior, but it is a SOLID car and I got a ridiculous deal on it. 3 NC owner, no accidents, completely stock. Just what I was looking for as buying a used car, and especially a honda can be sketchy. The owner I purchased it from was a retired NC State professor and he knew the owners before him so I had no doubts I was getting a good car.
In addition to the audio, I will be restoring/modding/upgrading the car and will keep those updates in this thread too, just in case anyone cares.
Onto a few pics of the car and what I have going on so far:
first are the day I picked it up. The car ran and does run fine but I had a very mechanically inclined friend go with me and take his trailer. We did a thorough inspection and negotiated a price and loaded it onto the trailer.
Got it tagged and titled and found out immediately that the front speakers didnt work at all. Wasnt sure if it was wiring or blown speakers. I decided to pull the door panels to look into the issue.
I had a tough time pulling the door panels. They were on TIGHT. I am pretty certain they had never been pulled based on the effort it took me to get them off. I found the reason for no sound up front:
21 year old OEM speakers had completely deteriorated
Not having any rings/baffles for the speakers Im using, I simply swapped the rear panel speakers into the front doors. I did not get pics as this was a 5 minute job. They ended up being some Pioneer low low end coaxials. Better than stock and much better now that they were playing in front of me.
