 While the seats and rear deck were out, it gave him the perfect opportunity to take them to Tinker’s Auto Upholstery to get recovered in green tweed and black vinyl. The rest of his interior was treated the same way. Finishing off the interior were a few carbon fiber goodies, as well as carbon fiber gauges. Now all was needed was some sounds to roll with. And to manage that, an Alpine DVA-5200 and Alpine CVA-1000 where installed. Brian and his friend Chris then spent the next 3 months putting his Acura back together.  Lastly, since Brian was now away from the racing scene, the final touch was the addition of new rollers. He did just that with purchase of 18” B. Coddingtons wrapped in Nitto 215/35 18s rubber.

The car finally came together on tuesday, just days before West Coast Nationals, 2000. It was a long and difficult process and Brian says that is the main reasons for doing it. It was a challenge and he wanted to see what he could build. Brian was able to not only finish the build up of his phat ass Integra,   but also go to work and school, and manage to get it done in time to show with his new club, Collective Customs. He's been taking home trophies in a class that is known to have some pretty tough competition. Brian says, “It was a pain in the ass and I had no life, but it’s all worth it now. Now its time to cruise it and enjoy the fruits of my labor.”
