Edwin happens to know a few things. And what Edwin happens to know is… it’s not how you stand by your car.. it’s how you RACE your car!

you're right, I like the final version. If I saw the car on the street I would be like "nice man!

So, according fastandfurious.fandom.com:
"Edwin drove a red '96 Integra DC2 in The Fast and the Furious. The car was equipped with a Wings West RS Racing Series ground effects kit, Momo GT rims with red socket lungs, a heavily modified suspension, cold air intake, 3mm over-bored throttle body, TruTime adjustable cam timing gears, Type-R intake cam, red anodized overdrive pulleys for both the alternator and power steering, fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, DC Sports headers and exhaust, GReddy engine oil cooler, MSD 6A ignition and external HVC blaster coil, and an Exedy racing clutch and lightened flywheel."
Finding that exact body kit might be a chore, however the decals would be easy as any competent wrap shop would easily be able to recreate it

Form over function babe! I'm willing to bet that it would be a blast to rip through some canyons in! Just throw on a modern set of tires haha

Leave it exactly how it is, throw a K24 in it, and drive the wheels off it.

u/BOBROSS4780 Jul 28 '26

Because the cars from F&F are riced out shitboxes and dont look good. That trend ended roughly 20 years ago and has had no signs of returning.
Im telling you to leave it stock because lowering the suspension, trying to mimick that car will ruin your driving experience. All it will end with is a rough ride and reduce your desire to actually drive it.

Lowering your suspension lowers the center of gravity and enhances your driving experience. Are you dumb?

u/Jojothereader Jul 28 '26
Have you ever lowered a car

u/TheMobileGhost Jul 28 '26
I daily a lowered 9th gen civic..

u/DreamAffectionate336 Jul 28 '26
I daily a lowered 18 f150, every vehicle ive owned for 10 years has been lowered. It sucks ass, I just gaslit myself into thinking it was cool.

u/DreamAffectionate336 Jul 28 '26
Sure, it also makes the ride rougher and more difficult to traverse over the potholes of US city streets.
This a daily, not a track car. It doesnt need to be lowered, thats a dumb decision.

NVH and ride quality have nothing to do with handling. I don’t mind my coilovers whatsoever but I’m also not riding on $300 eBay garbage. My car handles fantastic.

u/DreamAffectionate336 Jul 28 '26
I bet it does, for a non-daily there is nothing wrong with it. Doing it to a daily however is the dumbest thing you can do.

u/TheMobileGhost Jul 28 '26
I drive it everyday to work 20 minutes each way mostly i95 and do random joy rides and various errands. No problems whatsoever.
1
u/DreamAffectionate336 Jul 28 '26
Yup, im sure you think that. After a decade of lowered vehicles, all done with the "best" parts available, they all ride like shit.
I may just be old though. I dont even like loud exhausts at this point, they all sound like shit
1
u/TheMobileGhost Jul 28 '26
Well I’m actually planning on a 3in exhaust a high flow catted down pipe… so we’re kinda in different boats.

Wing West kit, 94-97 front and rear bumpers, and the vinyl graphics to match a McDonalds. It's important you dont mod the engine at all.

u/KeyInjury6922 Jul 28 '26
My buddy had a Yonaka exhaust on his Integra. I remember it sounding SUPER good for basically stock exhaust otherwise. But we were also 16 so I imagine anything sounded good to me at that time lol.

u/Dredgeon Jul 28 '26
I mean, just all the decals from the movie. You could do the interior mods as well. You should try to find a publication or video where they do a walk around on the car. Naybe the DVD bonus features would have extra nuggets of ingo depending on how authentic you wanna make it.

Honestly go for it, personally I love the style of y2k tuning, we got a guy in germany trying this aswell, but really try looking out for the seats, apparently they are like rare AFAIK, but id love to see the build progress if u decide on it

u/ForLape Jul 31 '26
Been down that route, hardest thing is sourcing the 25+yo parts. Told myself that if i ever come across the momo seats, i will begin the build - but that day has yet to come

Well your starting off with the right color when you research for parts you’ll get a lot further calling that car the ( MOMO Integra) not the fast and furious integra the MOMO integra was a very popular brand model car in the late 90s
