Ed was in the market for a new car after being in involved in an accident in his Nissan NX2000. He narrowed down his choices for a replacement to the Lexus IS300, Honda S2000 or the Acura Integra Type-R. He was immediately drawn to the Integra that was listed on Revscene and Craigslist. This was the second Type-R Ed looked at after viewing a rebuilt. After a phone call, meetup, and a ride around, “Kaori” was his.<\/p>\n

So why did Ed decide on an Integra Type-R?<\/p>\n

“Back when I was in grade 7, my Uncle bought a stock 2000 Phoenix Yellow ITR. The only experience I had with the car before was in Gran Turismo, but I already knew the car’s potential and racing heritage. He lowered it, had a JDM front conversion, AEM CAI and carbon hood. One night, he lent her to me and it was a blast driving around town. I loved the mechanical feeling in the steering, pedals and shifter. No electronic interruptions, just man and machine. I thought, “I have to have one of my own someday.” When it came around time for him to sell her, I was pretty upset that I couldn’t afford it. She still is alive and kicking around somewhere.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ed’s build process started right after he got the car. A full clean inside and out was at hand including regular maintenance and redoing a bunch of wiring. From there, Ed got the entire head built and dyno tuned. This all occurred during April to October of last year. During 2011, Ed acquired a new seat and harness bar. All the suspension was done in the summer and also the wheels.<\/p>\n

Ed’s future plans is working on the bottom end of the car and some stuff that we’ll just have to wait and see but it does including 10,000 rpms! Ed loves it when Kaori kicks it into VTEC and he plans never to sell her ever. Forever Aroneee Ed but we love your car!
\nSo Ed who would you like to give a shout out to?<\/p>\n

“My family and friends, big shout-out to the guys at Gearheads, my friends at Niteshadow (especially Ray for this opportunity, Thanks Ray!), the guys at artofstance, and anyone I forgot, sorry”<\/p>\n

We can’t wait to see what you have in store in the future. Ed does track the car but unfortunately could not make it this season. Artofstance can’t wait to see Kaori at the track next year!<\/p>\n
