Had they placed a K-series in the car – even a K20 from the base model RSX – this car would…
I was able to attend a local car meet last night that was held in honor of a friend to many car enthusiasts in the region. Although I didn't know Sam Davis that well, he was a great friend to many people and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
This Integra has been a work in progress for Derrick_D since he was in high school. Although this car began life as a daily driver, it wasn't long until Derrick's thirst for power began.
