Honda Integra + Mustang Cobra = V8 RWD Integra

Thank you everyone for 8000 subscribers!
David Richmond (the owner) has owned this car for 12 years. The build was done in his garage by him and a few friends, mostly Mirza Mehmeti from Team Sunworks and Taylor Blackwell. There were other people who helped lend a hand here and there as well, but the majority of the work was done by the 3 of them. The car is getting a full custom roll cage welded in right now, and I have an ls1 going in it. The front suspension has all been changed out to drift specific parts.
Actual video footage: vimeo.com/3235...

[@unodfredy]

Don't know how people can disrespect someone's build after seeing the work that was put into something. This integra is clean as hell mad props for taking the time to make such a clean car

[@kennithchapman9689]

Fredy Martinez. It's junk now!!!!

[@jairohernandez5981]

Its a mustang with the shell of an intergra

[@royhsieh4307]

but then it's not a teg. It handles like a mustang

[@ryanmalin]

@@royhsieh4307 neither car was worth much anyway. It's an awesome build. I'm sure it makes this guy happy

[@nagaduaharimau]

That's exactly how I feel. I thought it was a Fwd To Red conversion. And then I see this. It's not what I would want, but it might be cooler and more creative than what I would have come up with.

[@mrolskul]

I thought this was simply going to be an engine swap with a RWD conversion and not a crazy video with two cars completely cut and chopped up to make a freaking Frankenstein. I admire your skill set and vision, this was crazy.

[@streetfighter8455]

This is a better swap.. but it could have been lighter using the integra body only

[@Forgan_Mreeman]

this guy basically built a fucking car in his garage. I need skills like this.

[@Andreallen4]

Same here. Guy is a God.

[@lifestylekasanova]

VQ35flamesWTF! His facebook name is David Richmond he starts car show called all team bash real down to earth guy

[@jasonsingh831]

all thoughs stolen tools

[@repnatl]

Pretty sick build but I totally thought you were gonna swap the drivetrain into the integra lol

[@jesussosa1579]

Chris Atkinson exactly haha

[@in-rust-we-trust2831]

Nah that wouldve been too easy😂😂

[@AngryJesus]

Amazing work. I think the most impressive part is that everything was done in someone's garage.

[@deondiggs61]

Thats impressive.

[@torryminers2177]

Rns dawwg

[@Camlikesbmxbiks420]

every car build ever was done in a garage...

[@b16jareds]

a video of this car in action would have been nice

[@BuildThreadsNorway]

This might be of interest: vimeo.com/32351443

[@fixedgeardemon3105]

Build Threads

[@senseiisstar]

Build Threads should've put that clip at the end would've been 👌

[@davidfacio608]

Seriously lol I was waiting for a burnout the whole video....

[@theNVMEproject]

I don't get why you guys did this but I'll give you props for tearing apart both cars in that tiny ass garage

[@TeeLBCify]

under cover mustang owner....so he can run the crowd when leaving a meet. LMAO.

[@Dopecx]

funniest shit I've read all day

[@brittonbrumitt]

he could of just put a K swap with bolt ons, and it would have been as fast, and a lot lighter.

[@TheBaller97]

still fwd tho

[@TheBaller97]

i was replying to the guy who said he should have k swapped it... youtube shit talkers

[@7r0j4n]

Richard, you can add a crv driveline very easily and it wouldnt be fwd and would be alot lighter....like over a ton lighter than this mustang/integra mess

[@AeineralusCousin]

Friends growing up hated Honda/Accura Integras and Civics, and they absolutely hated American style pony cars, ESPECIALLY the mustangs. These guys had E30's and VW's that were pretty quick back in the day. This build would be their absolutely worst enemy on the roads and I love it. Good work!

[@mando719ad]

takes some skills and balls to do work like this, great job

[@MrWashesp]

and money lol half my projects get blocked by finances

[@76mestizo]

Armando Duarte takes balls to use a mustang!haha

[@meister3pc]

so it's not an integra... it's a mustang with integra panels.

[@robloxman6846]

a chassis swap doesn't make it a whole different car... then is like 1 out of 3 million chassis swaps ever done.. it's actually pretty common to do a fwd to rwd conversion

[@robloxman6846]

and it's called a body not panels.

[@meister3pc]

+Roblox Man thanks doctor obvious

[@meister3pc]

+Roblox Man but considering he moved over the front rear and rocker panels, my literature was correct.

[@unodfredy]

No it's still an integra I'd say Bc that's what people see. Think of it as an integra with a mustang engine swap

[@mpgsters3436]

now do the same, using a civic and a corvette to see how many people get butthurt lol

[@ED6Racer]

it's already been done, look up Civette

[@Camlikesbmxbiks420]

that could actually handle pretty well though this wont..

[@vali69]

Lel what about turning a car like that mustang into a prius...

[@corbybradford7909]

MPGster s he actually put a ls1 in it

[@Jeep-ze8oh]

Just did it

[@brandonnlara7186]

so instead of engine swapping into a lighter car, you just put the body on a mustang. so you are basically just driving a mustang.

[@ISuperior7]

no, this is a huge improvement as he went from fwd to rwd.

[@brandonnlara7186]

+ISuperior7 no. the integra is fwd. the mustang is rwd. he didnt improve anything. all he is doing is putting a integra shell on the mustang but still driving a mustang. he might as well just modified the mustamg then made all that mess or better yet engine swap it into a lighter chasis and convert it to rwd or better yet all awd

[@ISuperior7]

yeah, but if you think about his perspective, maybe he is a honda person. and wants rwd. so he got best of both worlds. either way you got to hand it to him for doing all that work!

[@ISuperior7]

plus rwd is huge improvement over fwd. but I'm sure everyone knows that. no offense lol.

[@xxfuxkinturtoolxx652]

it's got an ls1 in it now his name is David Richmond I been following his progress on facebook

[@victorandrade7940]

If he wanted to do a RWD conversion. He could have used an S2k as a donor car and kept the Integra as it was. He was trying to do something unique.

[@yadidimeanmaine]

Or just use a CRV tranny with front axle delete. Boost the B18C and get sideways.

[@CarterHansonlb]

ThatOneGuy I might have to hop on this... just finished boosting my b18b1...

[@julianholm7531]

Different wheelbase

[@loft4me]

I agree. That is a lot of work, requiring time, tools, engineering and fabrication skills, and most of all, patience with a steady resolve. Personally, I'd throw in the towel just looking at the task on paper. Or try and fine tune it with a sledge hammer. Kudos to David.

[@trilogy_gaming]

This swap is amazing coming from a integra owner I dream of something like this and you did a bad ass job congrats it's good to see a muscle and tuner become one 💪

[@isthisthingon8953]

he did the impossible mixing USA with JPN in one car gg

[@zac9260]

Drift Assassins JDM *

[@benestrada8769]

iTheGeek pressed.

[@TheSPOONFED01]

Wtf! cool but why? To be different? So the crowd of people don't see you coming after you leave the meet. I get it now Haha

[@clearkillsog3962]

Wow thats so funny 😑

[@fread51]

?

[@joshd9442]

haha i didn't get it at first, Lol no matter how much you make it look like a Honda, at the end of the day, its still going to be slammed into a crowd of people lol

[@paulcook8053]

Because everyone thinks they're hot shit and that they can drive a fast rwd car. Then you wanna show off your flashy car and lay a mean peel in front of a crowd. But it's not just Mustangs. I've seen plenty of Camaros, Corvettes, and even Mopars damn near kill a bunch of people. Its not just Mustangs, so just cause your honDuh gets eaten alive by American Muscle daily doesn't mean you need to be a bitch about it.

[@thegiantfinds]

It's only mustangs, I've never seen a high power car crash besides a mustang.

[@disfaka8089]

This is the craziest build I've seen.... If you paid a shop to do this you'd be in debt for the next 20 years. Mad props to these guys!

[@johnmassey5609]

this is the most insane thing ive ever seen. The easy way is obvious and to purposely take the hard road like this takes passion any real enthusiast has to respect EVEN IF you don't lile the result. Admirable.

[@alexsheffield5991]

Very impressive. That's some quality work right there, well done

[@IllPearce]

Much respect for the mechanical craftsmanship.

[@cainpoe]

I like the part where they show video of the car performing.

[@BuildThreadsNorway]

Haha :p

[@noahu3422]

Build Threads It's not funny because the video was shitty

[@austindiaper]

theres always that guy that has to come along and ruin it. Im sure it took a long time to make this video. I cant edit videos well and anyone who can and keep my attention the whole video is great in my eyes. I can tell you to keep negative comments to yourself because this is youtube and if there weren't people like you youtube wouldn't be very big.

[@spicymeatball3297]

It's not his fault the person who built the car never uploaded videos of it in action.

[@garyboyd7607]

In the description

[@sweetlowfatjesus9663]

When I used to be into RC cars we would swap the body kits onto them, just pop it off and put on another car body style. Here you went ahead and did the same thing with two actual cars, holy hell that looks like it was a ton of work! Good job man!

[@themonolude]

*All New Honda Cobra! Coming in 2020!*

[@clebervic]

you are one very patient man

[@DriftingIsaLifestile]

y tho?

[@suhaibfj]

why not

[@daltex81]

its his car, he can do anything he wants

[@Daniel-dm9xp]

Generation D ドリフト. because race car

[@juanbrujo2010]

Thats a lot of work, it came out bad ass 😎🤘

[@sirscorpio1154]

at least he didn't LS it

[@fourbangingkoko6539]

he's doing that right now lol

[@jovonnii2freshx]

how you know

[@wookster789]

Read the video description ;)

[@aaronchicco9219]

damn I hope he doesn't ls swap anything the cobra motor will shit on any ls if he does some minor tuning

[@sirscorpio1154]

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! HE ls'd it

[@jackdaniel1848]

I dig it and I respect the work put into such a project. Nice job, sir!

[@aiGeis]

I'm a huge honda fanboy and honestly this body swap came out amazing. I love creative and well done builds, this one has to be ranking up in my top 5.

[@aiGeis]

Holy shit I just realized he has the same rear bumper as me too! Have never seen anyone else with that bumper.

[@tastysti5322]

At first I thought you were swapping the cobra engine into the integera. Then I see you brought everything over to the cobra. Truly awesome. So freaking cool. Can't believe it all almost fit perfectly with very little Modding to the panels. Truly looks amazing.

[@poca908able]

insane..fukin amazing job.it looks perfect.everything lined up great

[@XxnpdgxX]

You just fucking advertised job.it unintendedly! xD

[@dannyoconer6645]

except the hood 😂😂😂😂

[@ethownzbh]

+Xx5n0p3d0g3xX All part of their plan...those sneaky bastards.

[@chrishenry2208]

+Danny Oconer fuck the hood lol

[@Str8StreetSkateKrew]

Forced Induction! Still a mustang

[@jishimoaritakumi9561]

And you have the worst handling integra.

[@jaytanner4034]

I respect the technical work that was done for this project. With that said, I'll also say that just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done.

[@DriftR35]

Unfortunately he sold it earlier this week… but it’s in great hands! Been following this build since I was 15 (now 26), I moved in with my grandma from Boston to Houston JUST for the car scene back in 2013 and I miss those days. Unfortunately these young kids love “takeovers” nowadays and have ruined the scene and has given us a bad rep. Don’t believe me? Just lookup I-45 closed for donuts… Don’t feel bad David, you did an amazing job with her and you inspire a lot of people in H-Town with ATB!!! Thank you 🙏

[@pgtmr2713]

Love it! Twice as much for not being the usual.

[@SkyLinMegas]

remember in the forums they wold shun you for this ... (just buy a rwd car) (stupid waste of money) (way to expensive) (impossible) (should have bought the car you wanted from the getgo) fuck em .. this is how its done

[@knightofaurdougne1637]

thats the correct mindset

[@SkyLinMegas]

***** what good is money if you don't use it

[@SkyLinMegas]

***** im the same , i micro manage the budget and look for deals . at the end of the day i pay all my bills make the misses happy and myself happy

[@twoeightythreez]

Skylin Megas Hell yeah. It's not about making either car better, it's about an artist expressing himself. There is no rational reason to modify ANY car, it's all subjective. it's his creation and he is rightfully proud. ultimate expression of "built not bought" :)

[@22davey22]

The nicest swap I've ever seen

[@knockoutvang9233]

Gotta say u had balls to do it and it came out better than what we all thought it would've been. Great build.

[@RollingInBoost]

i have never been this confused before

[@TheRealAaronWitchey]

This is one of the coolest builds. Nevertheless, your a crazy ass fab genius. How many hours you think it took you?

[@nicfazio385]

mad respect man. took allot of work to get it were its at. even if yu dont like Acura/honda you gotta give it to this guy. he had a vision and made it happen more then most ppl will do!!!

[@nolski361]

this is so sick! good job

[@ifuaintfirsturlast7551]

Mustang Mus-tang...sum-tang...sum-tang like dis...sv-tech

[@victormontanez8393]

Wow, thats an insane amount of fab work let alone a physical and mental amount of energy used to pull this build off. Incredible and very inspiring.

[@culgate]

“wait a minute this isn’t vtec”

[@zero00-100]

akuma he should have swapped in the s2k engine instead

[@JohanSalvattore]

This is pretty fucking awesome.

[@WhatUpTKHere]

Epic - I've always thought the Integra looked like it should have been a RWD car. Great build. Just great.

[@zacharyburns838]

Regardless of what it "is", this project just goes to show resolve not usually seen in the car enthusiast world.. Awesome job!

[@Itr-tv7kt]

I don't know if I want a integra or a mustang ?.. I kinda want both now lol

[@EvoPrisoner]

1. You're really just driving a mustang with an a partial integra shell welded onto it. 2. Literally the worse year mustang 3. Compromised the frame 4. Not being "hater", just stating facts.

[@Despertadohoy]

Gotta give this guy and this build some respect, as much as I dislike the swap, he's capable of doing some crazy stuff

[@codysteen6031]

Take a bow Take a bow. The car honestly ended up looking pretty badass in the end but i was deffinitly having my doubts at the beginning haha

[@musewolfman]

LOL, RIcer! why would you put a wing on a front-wheel-drive car? Oh... Oh, I see. [/sarcasm] Seriously, though, this is one sweet build.

[@guywithjeep]

just because a vehicle is fwd doesn't mean it that the rear wheels don't need traction. most pointless argument ever...

[@musewolfman]

Oh, I know. I was just sarcastically predicting responses from severe idiots.

[@fatal3713]

If no traction at the back the car will oversteer

[@mrguyy1265]

LegacyMuse lol the cars rwd

[@AndrewKidd14145]

put the teggy shell on top of a better platform

[@DjStiv3]

LOL svt badge on back.. i gotta give a like simply for the time invested and gotta give props.. damn man, it came out pretty good.

[@kevinkev1530]

ur a monster for tht builds very ballsy an awesome great work

[@g-mane7497]

basicly mustang with a integra body kit. regardless the crowd still doesn't stand a chance. lol but nice build

[@ruthlessscorp]

for the hood, why didnt you just build a scoop instead of cutting it out ?

[@nazarethpreciado9950]

would look riced out on a honda lol

[@torryminers2177]

fr nigga you the top shit up in this bitch

[@rickhatfat12567]

thenolifelowlife I know, he could of put a gt scoop on it or a subie style. better yet a mach 1 Ram air intake

[@gutter3738]

I am so impressed I'm not even going to lie. much respect to the builder 👍

[@zosophnkey]

amazing high quality...im a integra driver fully built turbo drag car and i still respect/love this....its fast diffrent and clean thumbs up

[@jerrysmith7166]

wtf did you do? wow lol much respect

[@dailystruggletv5403]

a wolf in sheep's clothing😂

[@patrickmccrimedog9844]

I imagine this is one of a kind. very impressive being a complete garage build. Even used the frame for storage in the process. That's straight amazing shop management skills broham. I wish I was half the mechanic you are. Also, as others have said, video of this bish in action would be sweet.

[@therealfletch809]

Nice job and it looks very clean too, can't tell it was a mustang until you drive it I'm sure

[@Raytarded66]

Did you register it as the Mustang or an Integra?

[@zac9260]

Duke Silver outside body is Integra so probably registered as integra

[@cheesmastr5303]

Da9 zBrah but vin number would be mustang, so it's probably registered as a mustamg

[@BampotDGKiiNgz]

In CT you register whatever the frame is, doesn't matter what the body is

[@chiaxiong8739]

Duke Silver Integra a course it's all about the body

[@voltron979]

In Texas they go by which is in the dash and door frame mostly, which in this case is Acura...

[@BMXAndy1994]

Thats not a v8 rwd integra. Thats a cobra with a ricer shell

[@benappa2766]

funna

[@trian891]

that's a quality peace of engineering cutted and welded on a typical and unusual US car. Such a disrespectful project for both of the two car manufacturers

[@joelopez7589]

ricer this ricer that i bet that car can smoke any car you got

[@pinkyo293]

I remember I recreated this in gran turismo back in the day with a modded save, can confirm the dimensions are extremely similar.

[@DriftR35]

I did the same on GT5

[@CamaroThings]

That's so custom. Had me legit in awe. Great job and screw any haters this car is just wow. #respect for the time, effort and overall imagination.

[@vincevegacustoms8860]

thats fuckin sick!

[@Leooh_r_3.7]

Because At the end of the day American muscle>jdm 🤔😏

[@SpikeRazzor]

Here I am bitching about doing my oil change in my cramped garage, meanwhile this dudes built this thing in his. Salute.

[@HippoReacts]

when I read "teared down the mustang", I knew I had to stay for the rest!

[@guildensteinfoutch6232]

Y the fuck would u destroy a mustang for a integra

[@LimitsGamesHD]

tired of running crowds over

[@strudel4315]

why would you ruin that sick integra by building in that mustang engine...

[@jdmarmy2734]

why didnt you just get ls,or 2jz,or the jdm engine version.

[@Daniel-dm9xp]

Guildenstein Foutch. cuz the integra doesnt run crowds

[@RaceboyYT]

Who whould ruin a clean cobra

[@jonathannieves9150]

LMAO. More like who would ruin a clean RHD jdm front integra

[@RaceboyYT]

Well both are nice cars but I'm not really in to integras

[@andreandrad3575]

I'm not into muscle cars but damn I know the value of a cobra and idk why someone would ruin one..

[@RaceboyYT]

That's my point

[@LuisGonzalez-mb8jw]

for the engine

[@christophermccloy2488]

I won't claim to understand it, but damn... that took a lot of work. And to top it off its really well executed. Bravo sir.

[@hondata70]

The amount of work he put in people can’t talk shit. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@DaDon_krazy]

Very cool! Tired of gay ass LS Swaps ..

[@91hamod]

Another chevy hater.. You're just hating over a used engine that is worth 600$ and makes up to 500hp and raw 400hp.. Why so butthurt?

[@yuzlemhusnu9778]

Fuck that way to much work just for that

[@kanggoo57]

Allen Atkins its got a ls1 in it now, lol

[@marcosponce6433]

I've seen this car in person multiple times here in Houston. awesome build

[@EBB47]

lots of good work amazing. I am disappointed that its not an integra though. its a cobra with an integra body kit pretty much

[@peacefinder5627]

Crazy different cool unique. The heart of a mustang cobra with the awesome Japanese styling of a third gen intergra. Running over crowds with your pinky up. Love it

[@insertausernamehere4515]

peace finder its actually the third gen

[@garyp4525]

Wow, kudos for seeing that project all the way through.

[@jeffomalley100]

I cant believe how natural it looks rwd. This thing is bad ass.

[@nelsonc4677]

hopefully this wont make it run into a crowd of people

[@randabuffer6562]

The amount of work to fab everything up on this build is nutts

[@chrisconnors5628]

Well done...that took a lot of work and balls to even think of doing this. I thought my DOHC Lincoln swap into my bird was hard but damn ! Good job

[@brianoconnor8479]

wow. im in complete awe. i never thought of this. i always wanted a rwd integra and was aaving up for an s2k drivetrain swap but with enough work and this time using a 2jz motor this could be perfect integra like it was supposed to come from japan!!

[@davdlopes7427]

use the honda crv drivtrain and everything

[@leo8780]

crv lacks the true rwd system with the fluid pump system but the s2k would be badass with a 2jz...this guy got me thinking about a 240sx with a corvette motor and wheels...either way the hood will actually close lol.

[@twoeightythreez]

Brian O'Connor If you want s2k driveline swap on this same ideology take s13 chassis put in s2000 power train (don't want to hack up a rare car like s2000) amd swap Integra body to it :)

[@KevinT707]

Mad props to all the man hours behind this creation!

[@forrealforreal8723]

A lot of detailed work right there. A lot of ppl will say I wouldn't have or why not this or that but it's your shit so keep doing what you do

[@joaoguadalupe101]

just on amazing build !!!big props for the people who buil it!!!

[@Hokey568]

Just imagine. You're in a drift competition. You're on your cool fancy Nissan 240sx, and integra comes to you. You think "Haha, is he going to drift in front-wheel drive? That's so sweet." He starts to press the gas pedal. And in your head "It can't be..." And behind you is a drifting integra I'd be shocked about that situation.

[@Stunterfranks]

why not just put the swap in the integra ?

[@robloxman6846]

integera chassis are fwd so he swapped the chassis to make it rwd

[@budlit1854]

+Roblox Man a chassis cannot have a fwd or rwd the fuck you talking about

[@Stunterfranks]

stoned ryguy exactly lmao

[@ethownzbh]

And here I was feeling good about my s2k drivetrain swap...this is insane. I can't believe how much the frame and chassis lined up, who knew the foxbody and dc2 were meant for each other? That's some great work there David you should make your own youtube channel and upload some vids of it with the coyote and when you get that LS in.

[@JusZard]

isn't that an sn95 not a fox

[@ethownzbh]

Justin Dir Oh so it's the 4.6. Whoops didn't see the intro and didn't realize lol

[@coreymoseley6710]

Yup sn95

[@xcompa77x]

he must have checked everything lined up before doing all this work. and definitely not fox. they also had the 5.0 for one year in sn 95.

[@HemiRam2012]

Dude, that is awesome! im a mustang guy, but i have a soft spot for integras. i just sold my 96 teggy a few months ago... i miss that lil car. in my opinion, this is the coolest integra out there. nice work!

[@crewdawg56]

one word wow, and I saw the actual burnout video. I love my Integra and you have some serious skills

[@Treeguygarrett]

Fuck the haters you put so much work into this car and people should respect that

[@rambow70]

Half way through and had to pause to saw wow, what.a.job. Awesome turn out man!

[@miinyoo]

I really enjoyed that. JDM nose for the win. What a great looking exterior. Holy hell is that a hilarious mashup and I bet it's a blast to drive.

[@brennoncantrell5867]

Much respect for the work put into this car. Very bad ass
