Impressive rust cleanup! Care to elaborate on NH-0?</p></blockquote>

It's the color code for championship white. Spec integra type R color. Also came in nighthawk black and canary yellow. It didn't come in Milano red, contrary to popular belief

It did if we're talking about UK market cars, I'm fairly certain I have a copy of CAR magazine somewhere that mentions Milano Red as an available option, will dig it up.

Lol, But i still think it'll look fab in Championship white so good call on that. Btw machan are you doing any additional reinforcing of the Chassis, welding and so forth? If i remember right the Type Rs had some extra welding here and there and reinforced suspension pick up points over the GSR/SiR... Not essential i guess but since everything is out anyway might be worth looking into..

Yup some seam welding should do the trick

Now there's something I need to look into! Btw the torque damper was laughed at. A lot. Now my family officially thinks I'm nucking futs!

[Komisiripala]

a little more type R goodness. the front strut tower. taxed only 1250. could kiss mr customs man. lucky break.

and of course the power window master switch. the springs on mine were broken so found a replacement.

Confession; the moment I saw that my initial reaction was "what's Komi doing with a Trishaw Type R sticker?". Shows how overexposed we have become to the logo on all kinds of crap... My bad, mad props to you on tracking down all of the tiny little details and doing it properly machan!

ROTFL and probably get some seatbelt covers as well!

Btw Komi found pics of a UK market ITR in Milano red in this article http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/honda/integra-1998/?

Also, notice how criminally cheap they are over there?

There is an option of buying one and dismantling it for parts though the guys doing the dimantling will demand at least £500 if not more and then there is shipping and customs duty to contend with

By the way, Machan Koimi, could you please more enlighten us on the paint used for the dashboard and other plastic panels?

its a sikkens nanotech epoxy paint (satin black) used for interiors. not available everywhere. my paint guy said he got in touch with sikkens distributors to inquire what was the best paint for the job, since this is not a regular do. said that this coat is electrolyte (sweat) and heat resistant, as in it wont fade off. but a sharp object can scratch it off, tho. and my garage mechs aren't the most careful of people...
