The Story Behind Building My RHD Integra
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Every car enthusiast remembers their first car, but not many keep it. When I bought my first car, 1994 Acura Integra, with a B18b1 and a manual trans, I had very little automotive knowledge and couldn't even drive stick. Once I learned the basics of fixing cars and modifications, a whole new world opened up. Buying this Integra would lead me down a path I am still on today. Every day I learn something new about cars, car cultures, engineering behind cars, and the stories they can tell.
My Acura Integra would always have me striving to learn more, such as welding, 5 lug swaps, right hand drive conversions, painting, and much more.
When I first bought the car, I never thought it would become a Right hand drive, 5 lug, JDM Front, Type R rep. This video shows my process I took to understand cars the way I do today. And I hope some inspiration can be felt from building this Integra to integrate it into your own project cars.
This car would allow me to share experiences with friends I otherwise would not have had. Many JDM cars would set the bar for what I strived for, such as RHD JDM TT Fairlady Z, Nissan Skyline R32, Nissan Laurel and many more.

You better of getting a clean shell and drafting the firewall on to it and any front end right hand things , that way you keep the right hand vin#
Quick disclaimer should be giving your cars a wash
Idk if you’ll see this but I have a 320mm momo Monte Carlo wheel w leather and red stitching I’m trying to get rid of for the low if you’re interested
You could also deep clean that carpet and dye it black.I’m in the middle of a civic build with a g23
@MyNewLife I've also driven 500k miles
That's like 10x the average person at my age. Statistically that increases my chances of accidents..
Assuming the worst about people isn't a good look
"I'm barely getting by financially but I couldn't be happier" I felt this. Thank you for the huge inspiration you've had on me the last year
Hell ya!
Money doesn't always equal happiness! Happiness is found within
Even if you're making less than working for someone else, NOTHING beats being your own Boss.
Doing what you want, when you want and HOW you want with noone to tell you shit.
Theres no going back.....
Thanks for the love everyone!
Same, so humbling
he says that living with his parents and eating his moms meals.
That car basically started this channel. Thanks to that car, I got to meet you and be friends with you. You also changed my mind on my own project car, I was going to sell my mustang to get a better model of said mustang but the car means so much to me that I decided to keep it and actually BUILD it. Thanks Mike for being a cool guy in general and I'd love to see more of your achievements in the future!
That's so true, I didn't think about that, this Integra really is the only reason for this channel 😬
That's what it's all about! Build what you got! 🔥
@@PrizzaMike i tought of gettin Integra but Type R but they are not avaleble in Bosnia and Hercegovina
Nice story love the video 🤙
@@PrizzaMike yeah , I agree . Build the car but this time do it with good new parts , don’t take a busted part of the car to replaced with another garbage part from the salvage yard …..
Come on bro , no hate here but you literally keeping a rust bucket alive with shit parts ….
@@PrizzaMike Man, so sad and happy in the same time for your entire story, i watched few of your episodes when you were in junkyards looking for scraps i never could imagine what really happen to your car and what it's been thru so far in it's existence.. so after watching this just want to ask you why not make a trip to Japan and try seek & source some proper cool parts from there, since are plenty people from US that are established there or help find cars & ship them in US..
The first time I recognised your channel was when the 240SX crash occurred.
It sucks what happened, but you never gave up and made the vehicle so much better, piece by piece.
Keep doing what you do so well, man. It’s certainly paying off!
To be honest, I got to know this channel too by the 240sx crash video. Then this channel grew on me very quickly, culdn't wait for the 240sx rebuild finale :D
What a ride that integra has been through. I definitely agree that it seems that 2016 was peak car meet season. Kinda sad to see it all disappear as of lately though cars and coffee fills the void. Also really glad to see all the z32 appreciation. Really makes me envious and wish I knew about importers back when I bought my first one. Could have gotten one for even cheaper lol. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Dude right! This poor Integra 😅
We used to have great cars and coffee events, but so many people would do butnouts leaving and also caused car accidents, so it seems many places no longer host them :/
I wish I had money when the cars were so cheap! I missed out big time haha
The whole police situation after you spin out would have made me so upset I probably would have been brought to jail. That cop wouldn’t have heard the end of it.
“ I have my own toe truck, I will not pay for this”
“How am I getting a ticket for spinning out on an iced road?”
“Where were you when it happened? Did you see I could have been cut off?”
I don’t know how you stay so positive man, that sort of thing just eats at me.
Also I had a buddy who said you were doing the 240 for clout and I threw down for you. I was saying it had nothing to do with fame, it’s meant to inspire others to do the same, take pride in things they love and not everything has to be expensive.
Sure the videos may help pay for some of it, that’s just a plus I guess.
I’m an introvert and have a hard time doing things on my own, you help me with wanting to do things on my own and meet people who can help with what I can’t. Appreciate it. Long winded but it’s true.
Dude the cop situation had me heated hahaha plus I was freezing my ass off cuz the car didn't start 🥶
I appreciate you setting your buddy straight. I understand how it may look from an outsiders point of view, but people like you definitely understand where I'm coming from. Thanks for sticking around man 🤘🔥
@@PrizzaMike Of course brother, been here since I found out about the accident on insta. Watching your vids motivate us all to either work on our project cars or go buy one and work with what we have.
Appreciate it! 🤘
You need to make friends with LAWYERS.
Lawyers cost money, but they are your weapon against police departments. Don't argue or get irate with cops, but DON'T bend to their corrupt will. FIGHT THEM IN COURT.
You should have started filming the whole interaction, tell them you refuse the police tow, and if he threatened to arrest you, have him state why on-camera, and that you slid on black ice and he wasn't there. If they do arrest you & try to ticket you and impound your car, the department has a lawsuit on their hands, and the cheif will set that officer straight, potentially saving future innocent drivers from being harassed.
Yeah man, no good, you were clearly being profiled, but the fact you let it happen only enables police like this to keep taking advantage of citizens.
I hope you continue to do your best in your car-modding career, and make friends with more police & lawyers, rather than strangers. It goes a long way to be polite, but also fight for when you think something is not right.
Well said Angel, we’re car enthusiasts same as classic car collectors etc i drive responsible not out here speeding wreaking havoc most cops like you said profile “tuner cars” its messed up fr but doing what you said is on point I agree.
This is exactly what why this is my favorite UA-cam channel of all time. Never stop progressing.
There are plenty of rust free Integra here in San Diego. I’m a 52 year old man, I still have my 99 Integra LS four door’s automatic. I really like your passion and motivation not just for yourself but for others to inspire them as well. My Integra has been with me since I was in the Army when I had to drive from San Diego to Fort Bragg North Carolina at least six times back and forth. Now that I’m no longer in the military I still don’t have the time to work on my 99 Integra. It needs a new paint job and all the dents around it. The shops gave me an estimate of $3500 to do the body works and and paint. I know a little bit about painting but that’s it. Your videos inspires a good amount of viewers myself included. Please keep doing what you’re doing. When you love doing something that you love it’s not a job. I subbed
I'll be honest, watching your videos has really helped spark my interest in working with automotive, hearing about the history of your Integra is just so cool, seeing all the phases of just how much change the car went through as you learned is just interesting. Thanks for sharing your story and hope to see more from you man!
Thanks for watching man! Always looking forward to what's next, so more to come 🔥
This is a hell of a story. I’m glad that you kept it and did the many builds when most of us would get a new shell. Your channel is awesome and im glad I found it! Keep on keepin on
Thanks a bunch James 🔥
My clapped 240 thanks you for your channel Mike. It's got more attention in the last 5 months than the previous 5 years while it was in a field. Love the channel I'm ways happy to see a new episode
Many times over I have said how much you inspire me. I have been obsessed with cars since I was probably 5-6 years old, growing up with my dad who has been a mechanic all his life and still is today. I used to take the school bus over to the shop he worked at and “helped” him till he got off work. As I would get older the obsession with cars would grow too. I got my first car when I was 14 - a 1987 Nissan Pulsar NX with a blown engine. My dad and I worked on that car for the next 2 years and the day of my 16th birthday was the first start… only had that car a year before I sold it for a brand new 1999 dodge neon Sport 2 door. It has been my 1 and only brand new car… that car went from 100% stock to fully modified with a body kit, wing, tail lights, lowered, wheels - the whole 9 yards…. Car meets and car shows from 2000-2004. It was an insane transformation! Had that car for 11 years and eventually sold it. Many cars later and I now have a 2012 VW GTI and a 2005 MINI Cooper S, both of which are modified. I have never kept a car stock lol. This year I’ll be turning 41 and still obsessed with all things cars - car shows, events, drives, meets, tv shows, UA-cam creators…. Cars will always be my passion, but I think that’s why I never went into the automotive field, was because i was afraid it would ruin that passion. It ruined it for my dad over the years so I learned from him. I’m in the airline industry and get to fly all over the country, which is my second passion - traveling. Have seen some amazing places over the last 6 years of being a flight attendant, but 10 amazing years with the company and getting to mess around with multi million dollar aircraft. Still amazes me to this day!! Sorry for the long story, it just seemed like the right time to talk about it and just say thank you for being you and your authentic self - sharing your passion as well and teaching us some knowledge. Your words of wisdom has been very helpful, even now in my 40s lol. Always look forward to your videos and can’t wait to see the next steps on the 240. I’ll also keep my eye open for any integras that pop up in the pick a part yards here as well.
I absolutely love hearing the love for cars from abother perspective! Great call with avoiding the auto industry! I feel honored for the inspiration shared within my content
Thanks for sharing! And thanks for sticking around 🙏🔥
@@PrizzaMike absolutely and thanks for the great content! Hopefully I’ll eventually get to meet you at a drift event or car meet in the near future. I dont drift but I love going to the events
What a bunch of different types of misfortunes. You're inspiring, brother 🤌
&I love that ending message + that reoccurring sentiment. "Do what you love" & "if you never try you'll never know"
I think it's amazing what you've learned in the time you've done so. Even more amazing is how likeable you are and how by putting yourself out there and being an extrovert, you were able to meet so many people willing to help you/teach you. Which you totally give back in your videos, you'd actually be a great teacher. I love your energy and your channel. Salute to you PrizzaMike. Autocorrect to 🍕
Wow thanks a bunch for the kind words man, means alot
I've just always had this desire to learn more and understand how things work, I guess my curiosity got me this far haha
What a story! I'm so glad you decided to follow UA-cam and be able to share this with us. Can't wait to see more of the Integra again! I'd love to see how you did the interior panels with the designs :)
Thanks homie! I definitely plan to make a how-to video on the custom interior in spring 🔥
bro seeing that fortune cookie message actually choked me up a lil
I have recently traded a reliable car that broke down on me for a non operational 1991 Honda civic, as of Feb 14,2023 I have had it for 3 days and am having second thoughts that I a 17 year old made a very dangerous financial and boring decision, but after watching this video and seeing how his journey has changed him and still he had kept his car makes me happy for my future it may not be the same in every step yet by seeing his journey I am ready Thank You Mike.
All your cars have the most badass stories. They’re all just hotrods. Nothing about them is normal and that’s what makes them perfect. I am so happy I started watching your videos, your positivity has really made me try to change my mindset
for someone who owns 2 tegs.
👏👏 i appreciate keeping them tegs alive 👏👏
Hey dude, so I don't think I've ever posted a comment on a channel or anything. But I wanna say this inspired me so dang much man. Last year I got a 07 RX-8 sport. Things been a dream car for me for so long and after having to sell my 94 Miata to a friend to move out from the midwest back to the east coast I wanted to get the car of my dreams. I've been wanting to work on that RX-8 for a while now since as crazy as it is, she's my daily driver as well!
I've been wanting to get her a bit lower, change the wheels from the stock ones it's got and finally work on her suspension. Sadly this year hasn't been the best for me in a lot but anytime I get in that car and hear that rotary go it literally turns any bad day into a good one. Watching all the craziness and fun you went through with your teggies got me inspired to make sure my angry dorito gets the work and love it deserves. Just wanna say thanks man! Please keep up the vids and hope to see more of that teggie when you get her set up the way ya want some day!
Good job on wanting to learn. We all was not born knowing how to fix cars. Many years ago I was the “go to” person to fix my friends cars but they all have learn how to do it themselves now.
After seeing multiple stolen clips of your content on FB etc...I finally found your channel! Ultimate respect, your S13 content is very inspiring.
Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙌🔥
As a young teenager I want too become a mechanic and learn more about cars I already know a lot. But this makes me want to keep going with it its very inspiring:)
yo dude. i appreciate all your help constantly through youtube, instagram, literally everywhere with anything! you’ve fully changed the car community and knowing there’s a person like you who cares so much and is so genuine is very refreshing and new. big inspiration to me. we literally have the same cars almost haha
Appreciate you homie 🔥🙏
I just try to be the person I would have looked up to as a kid
You my man,Are a BEAST!! So good to see someone so willing to learn and not afraid to tackle any job! I have been a Mechanic for 26 years. And anyone that says they don't need advice or act like they know all..stay away from them. I am 48 tomorrow and I am still learning new things everyday! Everybody knows something, but nobody knows everything!!!
Couldn't agree with you more!
I sent you a message under another one love your videos from like a couple days ago
my phone's messing up but I sent you a message under a video from like I think was 6 or 12 days ago it's a long post but read it and let me know
Inspired the shit out of me man. Nothing stopped you from keeping that teggy running. Your something else bro teggy boys for life.
This is the video that brought me to the channel a year ago. Glad to see the success you’re having now. Congrats mike and keep grinding 💪
My first car was sitting in my garage for few years now. Blown engine, rusty shell and accident damage, when we towed it there on summer tires in the winter. Thank you, this spring i will start rebuilding it. I've been following this channel ever since crash video ended up in my recommended page, and it was highly inspirational
Mike your an awesome story teller and watching the whole 240 build then listening to the integra story really motivates me to rip apart my r33 skyline and restore it to something that can be fun functional and reliable. The always keep progressing mantra is something everyone with a passion or goal should try and keep in mind it’s never the end that’s fun it’s always the journey.
you're good story teller👏 good luck 👊
Wow i never thought a car would morph you into a better person and a person with more knowledge
this is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, in terms of story and making me feel something it’s pretty crazy
100% this mentality is why I took on a build that no one else would touch, by no means is it a gem, but it’s a platform to learn. Once was on fire, total loss, now I can drive it and it fucking rips, can’t wait to start getting it looking good again.
I really needed this vid, man. I found you after I got my first car that I own/purchased. It's a 1998 DC4 Frost White Integra LS. I love it to death and want to keep it forever. I'm currently in car sales during these times and every day want to quit due to severe burnout. I try to make phonk/wave music for the car scene and have had a slowdown on that too due to these hours killing my free time and mental..
This video, especially the ending, really hit home for me and allowed for me to think more outside the box. Thank you for the message, content and positivity- keep it up
Hell ya man! You got this! The car community needs your sounds! 🔥
I have a volkswagen golf mk4 2003 and is becoming my own little project, me and my dad bought it about 4 years ago and my dad absolutely abused the hell out of it working in construction and what not. Now I decided to take care of it fix all the damages putting new wheels, control arms, checking the junkers website almost everyday for golf's and going there almost everyday getting parts and see what I can work with, doing the paint job right now and its been about 2 months since i started and i can't wait to see when she's finished. Also found your channel yesterday and I've been watching your junkyard videos and your story and man it is inspiring and your really can get stuff done if u out your mind into it, also learning from your vids aswell.
Since it's my favorite car on your channel, I request that you rebuild the car just as well as the 240sx. After so many tours that it has served you as a truck and so many memories are attached to this vehicle for you too, it really deserves to be rebuilt.
me & a couple homies have been filming a full vx part for about a year now, just never have enough time in between all the bullshit jobs, car always being fucked & different schedules etc, left advance auto a few months ago and have barely been scraping by but I will say that having more time to film this video and do what I love has made me marginally happier dude especially fully believing in what I’m doing, great video and great vibes dude
The Integra deserves some love now
I have a lot of respect for people like this guy who will say upfront that they made, and learned, from their own mistakes or just ways if doing things but would not do again.
Determination can get you a long way in life. Keep it up Mike 🙌
Ur a true car guy i apricate it alot and makes sence why u are hanging on to that car.. Respect
🙏
Your creations are you and life is the feeling you get when you have your chance to prove to yourself that you live to learn.👍❤️🇨🇦
Great video!
I own a 2000 Integra LS as my first car and I plan to keep it for years and hearing your story of how your integra basically changed your life and got you where you’re at right now along with all the knowledge you have gained to work on cars because of it, makes me wanna work on mine more, your story with your integra is truly inspiring!🙌🏽
The sun shining off the paint looks unique. Rust bucket nightmare car.
Man, this story is very inspiring. It also makes me really think about if I really wanna sell my first car as soon as my license allows me to drive more powerful cars or attempt a big project like a engine swap because the current engine is only 78hp and also hardly holds any compression anymore but the mechanic that fixed my wheel bearing and transmission seal a few weeks ago told me to just buy another one with a different engine because it would be to complex to attempt something like that. Also I was wondering what work you do currently outside of UA-cam , I really want to work on cars but I’m worried the practical jobs don’t pay properly and the engineering jobs are mostly done at a desk and not in a shop but I will probably try to get a instruction for automotive engineering from a big company like Audi which offers an education while you work there. Anyways sorry for the rant, this video was very nice as always.
I totally understand where you are coming from. I definitely learned the hard way about the low pay aspect. Which is another reason I continued to go to school. That's why I got the automotive related desk job. But found my days turned into a blur and made my brain turn to mush (dealing with alot of cooperate idiots)
Which is why I never stayed in a place where I felt like I wasn't progressing
Basically you have to put yourself out there and try different things to see which fits you best. There is no wrong choice, it's a constant ladder up
Hope this helps 🙏
Your cars have the craziest story’s and journeys and it shows how passionate you are about learning and working on your cars, it’s really inspiring to me seeing all these cars of yours that have gotten crushed and totaled and somehow you manage to give them a second life. Keep it up 🔥🤟
Appreciate you man 🔥🤘
“No fresh starts, keep the story alive” is definitely gonna be my ig caption once my rebuild is complete ‼️
Hilarious that the og clutch from 2014 is still in the car. Thing is an absolute trooper!
Your an inspiration broh your going make it big on you tube keep it up love all your content there's not one Ive seen that has not board me .👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Dude. This is some journey man! Gonna get my self a hoodie. That design and after listening to this story. 10/10.
I’m not sure what it is about your channel but your videos are so peaceful to me I enjoy them a lot keep it up thanks
Watching you build your cars inspired me to start my 4.8Ls swapped 65 el camino.
Hearing that the cop gave you a ticket and screwed you with the tow really burned me. Not bad enough that your car was wrecked he had to fuck you over.
You've saved cars I'd have never tried to fix. I always got hung up on the details and you just enjoyed whatever you had.
Ya the cop really screwed me there, but I didn't want to focus on it too much because I knew I had a major task ahead (3 day rebuild) and needed to keep a clear head space
The first video I see after buying a prelude🤩Let's go!
Watched the entire video. Love your dedication, the will, the passion! You're so awesome Mike! Keep doing what you love.Very motivational/ inspirational.
NO FRESH STARTS. KEEP THE STORY ALIVE❤
Man i rarely watch a whole video on cars nowadays but your story hits some memory’s up!!
Hello!
I am Japanese and live in Japan
i own er34 skyline
I always look forward to your videos😊
We support you in the future👍
Hello! Thank you for stopping by!
R34 is one of my dream cars! Hopefully one day I can afford one haha
Mike is the best example of a car enthusiast none of this hate just good vibes ❤
Yesss so excited to watch this! Been waiting for a while to hear the backstory :))
Watched it now! Congratulations on coming so far, both with the car and your life, proud of you!!
Thanks homie 🫡🤘
You are One hell of a skateboarder and a great car tec so no matter what you Will always be somebody special so keep on keeping on My friend
Appreciate you homie 🙌🔥
I’m so happy to have found your channel, I’ve been following since the day of the 240 accident and have seen every single video you post. Currently my car has been parked for a year, I blew the engine have all the parts to rebuild it except for the rods, which are on backorder for literally every single brand. I want forged rods as the engine is built and will push 500whp. And honestly just watching you grind away and give all your efforts into your cars motivates me so much to keep pushing through the urge of letting mine go. It’s a 2010 Hyundai Genesis coupe. I know that if I somehow was anywhere near you you could help me get this baby back on the road in no time. I hope everything keeps going upwards and that soon enough you find better financial stability. Thank you for the huge motivation that you are.
Hell ya! Just stick with it and the vision will come together 🔥
Sucks about the backorder parts tho..
Love the DIY and budget build ethic on this channel 👏 I loved the original colour of the Teg.
Same! I definitely want to respray it that 90s blue green
So proud of you man awesome that you’re local too
You inspire me to move on as a mechanic that I am, and yes, watching your videos made me do some things to my vehicle. I have a Honda CRV. It is no longer all-wheel-drive.
As always another banger Video!! Always love seeing the journey of the cars you own! I'm so much like you that I had my 1st 90 Honda Civic Si hatch for 14yrs and did 5 swaps along the way to daily drive her always! It was my senior summer build. The original D16a6 crankshaft was twisted from the previous owner outruning the cops in it and I bought it for 700$ as is all bone stock and another wrecked hatchback for 300$ to pull the D15 out and transplant in her and on the road with 250$ more in parts! I will forever love and miss it sooooo much! I kick myself for selling it a few yrs back all the time!
"At least 17 different Integras" Thay hits me deep. I had a sentra that I loved dearly and always joked about how I had about 6 or 7 other sentras in it. Love the content bro 👍
Maybe not the same story, but the car I have as my profile pic (never went on the US market but it's just golf MK4 in a different body) is my third car and it is the first car that got me into cars. I spent so much time and money on it (it's getting resprayed as I'm writing this) and I know it is going to stay with me forever. The most important thing is, that this car helps me with my mental issues and depression. Everytime I feel down etc I get in it and just drive or I sit in the garage for hours working on it. I've been through tough times and I can honestly say this car is my only true friend. That's how I found your channel and here I'm admiring your work and how much effort you put in your vids. I'm glad you started doing UA-cam, cause watching your work makes me wanna do more things myself on my car. Don't ever change Mike we all need that positive energy that you give, can't wait for the 240 to be finished! 🔥
Mike. Please make Integra merch. With both of your integra together. ❤
Man your videos makes me push to work on my car even if im on the tough part of the build thanks
Hey mike i kinda tripped over your channel by accident, but damn i addicted now, keep going and share the dream. much love from Denmark
Thanks for stopping by! Means alot 🙂🙌
Bro this video was amazing basically your whole story on how you stated working on cars and still got your first car and fixed it
Absolute legend Mike. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Your honesty an inspiration you did exactly what you wanted to do and didn’t let anybody stop. You know that’s not great I don’t know what it is actually it’s funny I just passed on one two weeks ago because I didn’t have the money on the spot very rushed and beautiful shape with leather interior.
While watching the video I recognized the 240, just started watching but I remember seeing the wrecked 240 at USAIR it looked so familiar I had to go back and look at my old phone videos to see but sure enough I got some footage. Very cool to see the Chanel, subscribed.
I am in awe mesmerized. Truly Mike. I just wish to meet you even though it's impossible. You got my respect way before. *Lithuanian* here
This is literally the best video I’ve seen in so long, and this is giving me a lot of confidence to buy my own 94’ integra as it’s now my dream car. Thank you
Mad props to you man. My s2000 wreck wasn’t even that nasty and after a few years of sitting on it. I took it to the scrap yard. Seeing this makes me miss my s2k.
mike if you ever read this, i jsut want you to know you are literally the best youtuber i have watched. not because the quality is off the charts (its not), and not because it has the craziest builds (it doesnt), but it honestly just feels like hanging out with a real friend on a sunday afternoon just talking about cars. not a lit of channels do that these days, and im glad you do these types of videos. you are a huge inspiration for me and thousands of other people. never stop being you mike, we need more people like you.
Thanks a bunch man! Truly means alot🙏🔥
Now i know how you madly want to save the 240 thanks for sharing your story bro. Keep it up just do what you love gear up!
You’ve easily become my favorite person to watch on UA-cam, I’ve been specifically waiting on this video for a while. You’re gonna go far man, keep doing what you’re doing! I’ve got projects in my driveway collecting dust, I hope one day I’m as motivated as you are to get them finished 🙌🏻
Appreciate you man!
Just focus on one step at a time and you'll get there 🔥
Bro when you said the manager sees you as just a number 💯 I work at a dealer and have been there for 4 years now and it’s hitting me hard af seeing all these new recall, junk filled cars that gives me so much frustration and it makes me so sad that I get home and don’t even have the energy to work on my s13 😕
i used to have an old celica, it was my first car, but i had to sell it because it was taking up too much space, it was in my parents garage, and had too bad of rust, but i still have the parts, and my dream is to buy the exact same car and build it like 14 year old me dreamed. your videos have honestly inspired me so much to build cars and just work and learn, you’re awesome Mike
I love that you have taken 3 cars and kept them on the road even being a broke teenager for some of them. Much respect man
I remember seeing the Facebook post about the integra being crashed it was wild but glad you still kept it till this day
What a video, i recently became a subscriber awhile ago and ever since then, your videos have been nothing but entertaining and informative. I myself am a young kid learning how to work on cars and experiencing new adventures and obstacles in life. Watching this all the way through made me appreciate what I have and to work with what i have and power through. Great video and an even greater story.
Thanks for sticking around man, means alot 🔥
Life is about experiences, and I just hope sharing my experiences helps others on their life journey
Dude. You have no idea how much finding this channel is making my want to find another EG and fix it up. Those were the days. Shame I can’t pay 2005 prices still 😅
Mike you are awesome! I had no idea you had so much automotive experience. Crazy what has happened to your cars and what you did to keep the dream alive!
Your 240sx was the reason I bought a 5gen civic. Blaaa blaaa I know not a 240 but still. I have to do so many bodywork on my car and seeing you did all of this with 2 of your car. Lets just say I'm a huge fan of you and you keep me motivated to do it on my own too. Thanks Mike
You are an inspiration to me, keep doing what you are doing, much love from France!!!
Thanks a bunch man! Means alot 🙌🔥
Thanks for sharing the Integra story
I was finding a way. i made it to 50K subs and then the cops showed up with a warrant. I'm still working it out, and I take inspiration from your struggle. Thanks for making videos. I enjoy your channel and I'm glad I found it.
Man, the things you've gone through are crazy, but everything you said always remains true. Hope to see more 240sx build videos and finally the completion of it, can't wait to see it getting done. Prior to your channel I wasn't quite interested in Silvias, but now daamn, I wish I had one.
now it makes sense why the 240 restore looks so good. love the journey man keep it up!
Appreciate you man!

This story is so good, makes me miss my 1993 integra I had in highschool
ill tell ya whats actually mad, my daily routine is now me sitting at my pc with some beers watching your vids and they never fail to impress me! i also feel like ive learnt quite abit about cars just from watching your content which is awesome! one day ill get the k20 swap in my civic and maybe will make a simular video to yours. Keep up the hard work brother.
Well done I am proud of u bro, I love seeing people explore their hobbies and interests. My dad owns his own workshop so I grew up on repairing cars and love junkyards. Love from the uk. Oh god bless good friends :)) enjoy your journey
That's so neat! Your dad sounds like a cool guy as well!
This video wants me to build a car now. Ty for sharing this amazing story!
I’m so happy you decided to fix everything that kept happening warms my heart to see ppl doing anyhting it takes to keep the car they love alive
Bro this was such a trip through nostalgia. I was lucky enough to live in your area during the car scenes best days. So much fun. I rolled in a red 94 GSR integra with the bomex kit sittin on 7 spoke 18" rims. A few of us would meet up at and roll to the actual meet. There may or may not have been racing on North ave after it got late. Mostly for fun. Sometimes serious. Overall awesome memories. Some of the best times of my life
Wow brother. This is the video i said you need to make ❤❤❤. Inspirational 💯%. Broski i need people like you in my life. Real people. This video is super cool and really amazing. ❤❤❤❤. All i ask for is a heads up on a car meet. I have no friends and am desperately looking for some. What a good video brother. ❤
