New To Ecomodding- 92 Teggy Rebirth

HELLO ALL!

im new to ecomodder and have to say I love all the projects I am seeing. I recently came into abrupt contact with a deer going 80mph in my integra and thought it was a complete loss. I love this car too much to let it go so im going to instead go all out gas mileage on it.

what I plan on doing is make my own fiberglass front end with hid headlights and led blinkers. make custom led tail lights also to lower wattage.

the ps pump burned up after I hit the deer so that is going.

the hood is trashed so Im planning on framing up some old sheet metal.

fender skirts are a must! I have kosei k1 light weight wheels that im going to sell and put the original steelies with flat caps on and fuel saver tires.

im going to gut everything out of it. it is the rs model so its the lightest integra of its gen.

Something I am looking into is removing the alternator and running deep cycles, that needs more research though. I think it would be awesome to see a motor with no belts on it!

tell me what you think! am i going in the right direction, what else could be good??

Hello and welcome to the site! I would really suggest looking at this:
