    Hello everyone, I'm serafin, I've been on the site for a while, finally decided to make a build thread for my car. I named her Mia.

    I'm on my phone so I can't upload any pics but ill put some up once I get on a laptop.

    It's a 1995 Acura Integra.
    Bought it back in February for &2600.
    Bone stock, a virgin.
    It was silver with the OEM pin stripes across the side, then about a month later I rear ended a truck & the front end was trash.
    New radiator support, new bumper support, 2 new front bumpers(I didn't like the first one I bought), new headlights, new hood, new radiator & the car was ready for the streets. But with a green hood & a black bumper, & a sver car, It needed paint. I drove around for about 3 weeks with those mismatched parts, for some reason rattle can paint didt come to my mind to use as a quick cover up. Then I finally painted it in June. Then I slammed it on cheap springs.
    I got an aftermarket intake one it, it was CAI then I turned it to a semi CAI & SRI. ha you'll see in the pictures. Then I got some cheap headers, they got all faded n looked like crap so I went to stock.
    I purchased a v tec head in July, it's currently sitting in my garage.
    That's about everything I have up till today. Now the CEL reads code 9, & I have oil entering cylinder #4. I pulled the spark plug out & it had oil. So looks like a bad valve guide or piston rings, really not looking forward to repairing the issue but oh well. Cars are money pits.
    Feel free to ask any questions.
    Thanks for looking. Pics coming soon

    Good news, I check my compression, it read about 120 to each cylinder, only 15 psi lost in 16 years. Sounds good.
    Then I checked my spark plugs for resistance, wire for cylinder 4 had 38k ohms resistance, so that needs to be replaced, but I'm just gonna replace all the wires& all the plugs. I took the distributor cap off & the metal studs were corroded, I cleaned them up a little, then the rotor was also corroded, gave it a clean & I started up the car & the cel was gone & the car didn't hesitate to start. So a new rotor, cap, spark plugs&wires & valve cover gasket because it leaks & I should be fine
