2001 Integra GSR Build -The LHT way 

Back when VTEC change-overs were clearly audible. Nice car.

I'm only about a year and a half late watching this, i'm not sure how i missed this series but i will definitely be checking out all of the episodes. When you started talking about your history with the car and your previous R, it made me think of my current restoration. I bought a 96 GSR sedan in 2003 when i was in college. Daily drove it up until 2010 when i sold it...talk about instant seller's remorse. Fast forward to 2014 and i told my soon to be wife at that point that i wanted another integra after we got married for a fun car. So, i started looking at craigslist just to see what was out there. No intention of actually buying. Until I saw a 96 GSR sedan for sale about 45 minutes from me. After looking through the pictures and talking to the guy, it was my old car. I bought it as soon as i possibly could. The years out of my possession were not good to it though. The guy i bought it off of was not the guy i sold it to, and he used it as a winter driver. I stripped the car in 2014 and did a lot of rust repair work, replaced basically every part on the entire car with the goal of having a new 1996 GSR sedan. Drove it for a couple summers and then parked it again 18 months ago for quarter panel rust repair and a body work, working towards a complete paint job. Just finished the paint job in September, putting her all back together now so that i can finally really enjoy this car. I am the 2nd and 5th owner of this car now lol. End story time, can't wait to watch the rest of the series!

George, Talk to John! That color is gorgeous! Man oh man I cant wait for this series. Thanks LHT!

Got a new integra right after high school back in 1999. Had the ITR jdm front end, I/H/E lowered with wheels. Such a timeless design.

John n George..Cant wait to show the video to my wife!!... 2017 i bought back my old EF hatch that i drove in high school...i got a personal loan and just showed up with the car, had to sleep in the couch over the weekend but i had to have it back it was worth it.. She cant believe my weekend bucket is the car i actually drove 20yrs ago!! Viva the car guys!! 👍

How do you only have 31k subscribers this channel should be at least 100k. By far the best automotive channel on RU-vid

That's Moonrock metallic, super nice color.

Yalls are so dedicated to Honda cars, I think Honda should fly you to Japan and give yalls a tour in their factory. I know Honda always do that for tuners around the world. They fly them to Japan, cater their meals, and put them in a Honda owned hotel and tour them around Japan Honda scenes.

I have been waiting for a build like this!! Loved the Civic build but soon happy about this one. Wish I still had my Integra Type R. That cross over brings back alot of memories! Can't wait for it to start.

That VTEC crossover!!! 🤤

Can't wait to watch this build! Selfishly I hope it remains B series, and all motor.

Clean gsr, must be a blast to drive. That VTEC sounds awesome

Love this! I have a 2000 civic EJ coupe with a 96 GSR engine and transmission. That engine and transmission is getting a complete rebuild! Thank you for the kick ass videos.

as a dc2 type r owner and long time subscriber i'm happy to see a integra build by people that know what there doing👍🏻👌🏻✌🏻

Hi John. I've owned two Integra GS-Rs in my time, a white '94 and Dark Violet Pearl '00 (both new). I've moved on to bigger and better things, but I miss those cars. The current color combination of your Integra is gorgeous. I wouldn't change a thing. But if you have plans to make it nicer than it is now, this thing is really going to be special. I look forward to this build and I'm sure it's going to be amazing! Take care, buddy.

Music to my ears when that vtec kicks in. That’s it I’m going for driver just for that sound. 🏎🚔 oh man 🤦‍♂️ lol

Thanks So so much LHT for this video , I never get tired of B series Vtec Crossover sounds..😎🖖👌😁 melody to my ears wish I could make it my ringtone.

MMMMMAAAANNNNN the V-tec crossover was crazy

I’ve been thinking about getting the foam cannon thing that a lot of brands sell... once I watched you talk about it, you definitely sold it to me 😂😂

I would say NOOOO don't change that color, but I know LHT has great taste. Can't wait to see this series.

I wouldn't change the colour as I think it looks great and the paint job is nice. I would just paint the engine bay to match.

I am excited for this build. Beautiful integra!

I'm not a huge JDM fan but I'm excited for this build, I really love the work you guy's do at LHT, hopefully the build comes together the way you plan.

Everyone knows the only color of choice is championship white

Very nice Integra. Hopefully this gem will help build the channel!

Super excited for this! Miss my integra!

John, you are a true car guy as am I. I really hope we can meet one day. Keep those great videos coming. Thanks my friend.👍🏽👌🏾😊

Love the DC! Have one myself.

Definitely following this Integra. Love the color scheme, looks serious. I just love integras!!!

The vtec x over is insane!!

I have a DC5, Sway bars, bracing, coilovers = instant track car. love it.

I really hope it stays b series! There are still tons of people into them and it would be great to see some LHT love for the b series!

Excited to see this build! I've got a '96 GSR and hope to do a JDM front end on it eventually and make it as nice as yours!

WOW. very clean GSR John!

Looking forward to this build!!!

Subscribed! Looking forward to more updates!

Sweet car, I absolutely would love to own one someday!

Love the color. Makes me miss my JDM front GS-R.

dam, can't wait lht. im glad you have a project now to. both you and george project will be great for us subscribers!

This car was beautiful in person John. I really hope you go with the color you mentioned to me. It will be absolutely perfect.

Nearly bought that car. I’m in the Estero area and it was on Craigslist. It was a beauty but ended up snagging an FA5. It was eye candy for sure though, congrats on the repurchase!

Oh I think I saw this for sale on craigslist a few months back. Looking forward to watching this series. I remember a guy on the integra forums having issues with the dyno values on his ITR being down on power when he had his 15x8 sticky track tires on vs his regular tires, interesting stuff, makes me curious about my car now lol

excited for this build !

that vtec crossover sounds amazing

Great Acquisition 👍🏾👍🏾

I completely agree on the whole non matching engine bay "style". It's a fad that will age as well as aggressor front bumpers and Saleen wings

Finally you tell us about the Teggy!!! If you think of selling it message me. I REALLY like this car. Thank you!

That might be the cleanest Integra I've ever seen. It's so straight with absolutely 0 rust. I have a 97 EJ8 Civic coupe with a built LSVTEC turbo that makes 588 whp and while my car is clean for a 97, but it's nowhere near that clean.

Yr car! No one else, yr choice of color, make yr car yr own not what others what 👍👍 enjoy the vids

Cant wait for the integra episodes

Literally my dream car sadly in Spain we dont have base models of this car only imported type-r but the price is high llike 12.000/14.000 euros... love your content!

John - I need to drop off my 01 Gsr back into your shop to get some work done. It’s been sitting for years in the garage waiting for some more LHT love... it’s the only car I ever bought brand new off the show room in August of 2001... never letter her go!! 😬

That paint is perfect. I'd just wrap it, that way you can just take off the wrap when you get sick of it

Love this video! Watched the all twice lol

So excited for this build. Makes me want to put more money into my GSR vs my AP2 😅

Dat VTEC crossover, jeeez

Cant wait to see this build. I miss my GS-R so much. You guys really should wear hearing protection, its only a matter of time until you are very hard of hearing.

Beautiful car!!

Nice content! Nice music too

John likely washed, clayed and waxed that parking lot before he washed the insight on top of it.Lht = where ocd and performance meet.

Beautiful car man congrats on getting her back in your hands! The dc is my favorite Honda chassis by far. Dare I say the best. Just a thought have you guys looked into engineering suspension? Also that vtec engagement tho! 🤤

I love the color or the Integra, stealthy and clean looking.

nice build integra gsr dc2 stay tuned loud vtec integra

back in the days that vtec cross over either strike fear or haters into people when they lost to a properly tuned b-series n/a or turbo.

Im new this channel but I had to subscribe for more content of this car; it’s exactly like mine to say the least! I busted my ^$$ working on my car it’s awesome to see your content 🤙🏼

Please don't paint it😪 the car is perfect the way it is

I love this color

Cant wait to see this!

Heck yeah I love me an integra build .

This is exactly what I want

integra is gorgeous

It’s very clean can’t wait to see what ur next build will be toss that motor to me and go k series lol hahaha can’t wait to see more sounds like it’s going to be fun

Beautiful 🎶🎶❤

Still rocking the BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB daily

Stoked!

Can't wait!

John, please leave the color alone. It looks amazing and its in perfect condition. Also, I know you just started this build, but when you're ready to sell it I'll take it off your hands.

Awesome

Nice output!

So cool great job nice

Very nice integra , I've been looking for around 6 months for one not easy to find and expensive

The silver on silver really looks good. If you change, I hope it's to the JDM spec Vogue Silver Metallic (VSM).

Living the good life in Florida!

this makes me wanna continue my prelude bb4 project that has been sitting in storage for soon 6 years(other priorities got in the way)

time to put on some titanium goodies. Strut braces, hood prop, exhaust, intake. because LHT racecar :D

Man I love that car

There s nothing like a n/a vtec kick sound

Love my b18c best vtec crossover

In the process of building the motor in my 2000 violet integra. May I ask how you were able to hit 199hp? I heard you mention springs retainers and cams but anything else?? Stoked for this!!

High 190whp is more than fair for a mostly standard power plant. Looks like the VTEC change point is lowered based on the graph. I recommend k-swap and boost. It’ll be easy to knock out a 9sec pass on slicks.

LHT blue the Integra

Definitely excited to see this build! Shame you're changing the color I think it looks awesome especially with the ITR wheels and Japanese front end. Does it have the stock GSR motor?

Subscribed cause the GSR

Can you ask George if i can buy the stock EP3 exhaust when he changes it? I'm local too so could just swing by and get it, if he wants to sell it of course.

First thing I noticed was the 5 lug swap, then the JDM front end (which I love). Are you going forged high compression NA, or low compression turbo, or high compression turbo?

Great Videos as always 👍Super excited for this build, what's the gunmental paint code? Thanks

It's so hard to find a well kept Integra. I want one so bad.

Recently sold my ITR for a s2k. Now its my bittersweet moment watching this video

Ready for the nsx orange integra lol

Love the VTEC sound, don’t like the steering wheel
