The Story Behind Building My RHD Integra

Every car enthusiast remembers their first car, but not many keep it. When I bought my first car, 1994 Acura Integra, with a B18b1 and a manual trans, I had very little automotive knowledge and couldn't even drive stick. Once I learned the basics of fixing cars and modifications, a whole new world opened up. Buying this Integra would lead me down a path I am still on today. Every day I learn something new about cars, car cultures, engineering behind cars, and the stories they can tell.
My Acura Integra would always have me striving to learn more, such as welding, 5 lug swaps, right hand drive conversions, painting, and much more.
When I first bought the car, I never thought it would become a Right hand drive, 5 lug, JDM Front, Type R rep. This video shows my process I took to understand cars the way I do today. And I hope some inspiration can be felt from building this Integra to integrate it into your own project cars.
This car would allow me to share experiences with friends I otherwise would not have had. Many JDM cars would set the bar for what I strived for, such as RHD JDM TT Fairlady Z, Nissan Skyline R32, Nissan Laurel and many more.

[@fromallaspects5339]

The first time I recognised your channel was when the 240SX crash occurred. It sucks what happened, but you never gave up and made the vehicle so much better, piece by piece. Keep doing what you do so well, man. It’s certainly paying off!

[@luckgrip252]

To be honest, I got to know this channel too by the 240sx crash video. Then this channel grew on me very quickly, culdn't wait for the 240sx rebuild finale :D

[@MysteriousToe]

The whole police situation after you spin out would have made me so upset I probably would have been brought to jail. That cop wouldn’t have heard the end of it. “ I have my own toe truck, I will not pay for this” “How am I getting a ticket for spinning out on an iced road?” “Where were you when it happened? Did you see I could have been cut off?” I don’t know how you stay so positive man, that sort of thing just eats at me.

[@MysteriousToe]

Also I had a buddy who said you were doing the 240 for clout and I threw down for you. I was saying it had nothing to do with fame, it’s meant to inspire others to do the same, take pride in things they love and not everything has to be expensive. Sure the videos may help pay for some of it, that’s just a plus I guess. I’m an introvert and have a hard time doing things on my own, you help me with wanting to do things on my own and meet people who can help with what I can’t. Appreciate it. Long winded but it’s true.

[@PrizzaMike]

Dude the cop situation had me heated hahaha plus I was freezing my ass off cuz the car didn't start 🥶 I appreciate you setting your buddy straight. I understand how it may look from an outsiders point of view, but people like you definitely understand where I'm coming from. Thanks for sticking around man 🤘🔥

[@qx4n9e1xp]

You need to make friends with LAWYERS. Lawyers cost money, but they are your weapon against police departments. Don't argue or get irate with cops, but DON'T bend to their corrupt will. FIGHT THEM IN COURT. You should have started filming the whole interaction, tell them you refuse the police tow, and if he threatened to arrest you, have him state why on-camera, and that you slid on black ice and he wasn't there. If they do arrest you & try to ticket you and impound your car, the department has a lawsuit on their hands, and the cheif will set that officer straight, potentially saving future innocent drivers from being harassed. Yeah man, no good, you were clearly being profiled, but the fact you let it happen only enables police like this to keep taking advantage of citizens. I hope you continue to do your best in your car-modding career, and make friends with more police & lawyers, rather than strangers. It goes a long way to be polite, but also fight for when you think something is not right.

What a ride that integra has been through. I definitely agree that it seems that 2016 was peak car meet season. Kinda sad to see it all disappear as of lately though cars and coffee fills the void. Also really glad to see all the z32 appreciation. Really makes me envious and wish I knew about importers back when I bought my first one. Could have gotten one for even cheaper lol. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@PrizzaMike]

There are plenty of rust free Integra here in San Diego. I’m a 52 year old man, I still have my 99 Integra LS four door’s automatic. I really like your passion and motivation not just for yourself but for others to inspire them as well. My Integra has been with me since I was in the Army when I had to drive from San Diego to Fort Bragg North Carolina at least six times back and forth. Now that I’m no longer in the military I still don’t have the time to work on my 99 Integra. It needs a new paint job and all the dents around it. The shops gave me an estimate of $3500 to do the body works and and paint. I know a little bit about painting but that’s it. Your videos inspires a good amount of viewers myself included. Please keep doing what you’re doing. When you love doing something that you love it’s not a job. I subbed

[@joshparks269]

Many times over I have said how much you inspire me. I have been obsessed with cars since I was probably 5-6 years old, growing up with my dad who has been a mechanic all his life and still is today. I used to take the school bus over to the shop he worked at and “helped” him till he got off work. As I would get older the obsession with cars would grow too. I got my first car when I was 14 - a 1987 Nissan Pulsar NX with a blown engine. My dad and I worked on that car for the next 2 years and the day of my 16th birthday was the first start… only had that car a year before I sold it for a brand new 1999 dodge neon Sport 2 door. It has been my 1 and only brand new car… that car went from 100% stock to fully modified with a body kit, wing, tail lights, lowered, wheels - the whole 9 yards…. Car meets and car shows from 2000-2004. It was an insane transformation! Had that car for 11 years and eventually sold it. Many cars later and I now have a 2012 VW GTI and a 2005 MINI Cooper S, both of which are modified. I have never kept a car stock lol. This year I’ll be turning 41 and still obsessed with all things cars - car shows, events, drives, meets, tv shows, KZbin creators…. Cars will always be my passion, but I think that’s why I never went into the automotive field, was because i was afraid it would ruin that passion. It ruined it for my dad over the years so I learned from him. I’m in the airline industry and get to fly all over the country, which is my second passion - traveling. Have seen some amazing places over the last 6 years of being a flight attendant, but 10 amazing years with the company and getting to mess around with multi million dollar aircraft. Still amazes me to this day!! Sorry for the long story, it just seemed like the right time to talk about it and just say thank you for being you and your authentic self - sharing your passion as well and teaching us some knowledge. Your words of wisdom has been very helpful, even now in my 40s lol. Always look forward to your videos and can’t wait to see the next steps on the 240. I’ll also keep my eye open for any integras that pop up in the pick a part yards here as well.

Hey dude, so I don't think I've ever posted a comment on a channel or anything. But I wanna say this inspired me so dang much man. Last year I got a 07 RX-8 sport. Things been a dream car for me for so long and after having to sell my 94 Miata to a friend to move out from the midwest back to the east coast I wanted to get the car of my dreams. I've been wanting to work on that RX-8 for a while now since as crazy as it is, she's my daily driver as well! I've been wanting to get her a bit lower, change the wheels from the stock ones it's got and finally work on her suspension. Sadly this year hasn't been the best for me in a lot but anytime I get in that car and hear that rotary go it literally turns any bad day into a good one. Watching all the craziness and fun you went through with your teggies got me inspired to make sure my angry dorito gets the work and love it deserves. Just wanna say thanks man! Please keep up the vids and hope to see more of that teggie when you get her set up the way ya want some day!

I have a volkswagen golf mk4 2003 and is becoming my own little project, me and my dad bought it about 4 years ago and my dad absolutely abused the hell out of it working in construction and what not. Now I decided to take care of it fix all the damages putting new wheels, control arms, checking the junkers website almost everyday for golf's and going there almost everyday getting parts and see what I can work with, doing the paint job right now and its been about 2 months since i started and i can't wait to see when she's finished.

I'm currently in car sales during these times and every day want to quit due to severe burnout. I try to make phonk/wave music for the car scene and have had a slowdown on that too due to these hours killing my free time and mental..

[@yannicg]

Man, this story is very inspiring. It also makes me really think about if I really wanna sell my first car as soon as my license allows me to drive more powerful cars or attempt a big project like a engine swap because the current engine is only 78hp and also hardly holds any compression anymore but the mechanic that fixed my wheel bearing and transmission seal a few weeks ago told me to just buy another one with a different engine because it would be to complex to attempt something like that. Also I was wondering what work you do currently outside of KZbin , I really want to work on cars but I’m worried the practical jobs don’t pay properly and the engineering jobs are mostly done at a desk and not in a shop but I will probably try to get a instruction for automotive engineering from a big company like Audi which offers an education while you work there. Anyways sorry for the rant, this video was very nice as always.

[@PrizzaMike]

I totally understand where you are coming from. I definitely learned the hard way about the low pay aspect. Which is another reason I continued to go to school. That's why I got the automotive related desk job. But found my days turned into a blur and made my brain turn to mush (dealing with alot of cooperate idiots) Which is why I never stayed in a place where I felt like I wasn't progressing Basically you have to put yourself out there and try different things to see which fits you best. There is no wrong choice, it's a constant ladder up Hope this helps 🙏

Currently my car has been parked for a year, I blew the engine have all the parts to rebuild it except for the rods, which are on backorder for literally every single brand. I want forged rods as the engine is built and will push 500whp. And honestly just watching you grind away and give all your efforts into your cars motivates me so much to keep pushing through the urge of letting mine go. It’s a 2010 Hyundai Genesis coupe. I know that if I somehow was anywhere near you you could help me get this baby back on the road in no time.

Maybe not the same story, but the car I have as my profile pic (never went on the US market but it's just golf MK4 in a different body) is my third car and it is the first car that got me into cars. I spent so much time and money on it (it's getting resprayed as I'm writing this) and I know it is going to stay with me forever. The most important thing is, that this car helps me with my mental issues and depression. Everytime I feel down etc I get in it and just drive or I sit in the garage for hours working on it. I've been through tough times and I can honestly say this car is my only true friend. That's how I found your channel and here I'm admiring your work and how much effort you put in your vids.

You inspire me to move on as a mechanic that I am, and yes, watching your videos made me do some things to my vehicle. I have a Honda CRV. It is no longer all-wheel-drive.

[@ImZanJa]

ill tell ya whats actually mad, my daily routine is now me sitting at my pc with some beers watching your vids and they never fail to impress me! i also feel like ive learnt quite abit about cars just from watching your content which is awesome! one day ill get the k20 swap in my civic and maybe will make a simular video to yours. Keep up the hard work brother.

[@RicardoGarcia-wx7fp]

Your an inspiration broh your going make it big on you tube keep it up love all your content there's not one Ive seen that has not board me .👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@kylestephenson6868]

Wow i never thought a car would morph you into a better person and a person with more knowledge

[@justintime2472]

Bro this video was amazing basically your whole story on how you stated working on cars and still got your first car and fixed it

[@phrzy]

What a video, i recently became a subscriber awhile ago and ever since then, your videos have been nothing but entertaining and informative. I myself am a young kid learning how to work on cars and experiencing new adventures and obstacles in life. Watching this all the way through made me appreciate what I have and to work with what i have and power through. Great video and an even greater story.

[@PrizzaMike]

Thanks for sticking around man, means alot 🔥 Life is about experiences, and I just hope sharing my experiences helps others on their life journey

[@zorrigaming7146]

Since it's my favorite car on your channel, I request that you rebuild the car just as well as the 240sx. After so many tours that it has served you as a truck and so many memories are attached to this vehicle for you too, it really deserves to be rebuilt.

[@luckgrip252]

Man, the things you've gone through are crazy, but everything you said always remains true. Hope to see more 240sx build videos and finally the completion of it, can't wait to see it getting done. Prior to your channel I wasn't quite interested in Silvias, but now daamn, I wish I had one.

[@asianboi08]

Mad props to you man. My s2000 wreck wasn’t even that nasty and after a few years of sitting on it. I took it to the scrap yard. Seeing this makes me miss my s2k.

[@MonkeyShred]

Dude. You have no idea how much finding this channel is making my want to find another EG and fix it up. Those were the days. Shame I can’t pay 2005 prices still 😅

[@doc5061]

While watching the video I recognized the 240, just started watching but I remember seeing the wrecked 240 at USAIR it looked so familiar I had to go back and look at my old phone videos to see but sure enough I got some footage. Very cool to see the Chanel, subscribed.

[@AngryD]

I was finding a way. i made it to 50K subs and then the cops showed up with a warrant. I'm still working it out, and I take inspiration from your struggle. Thanks for making videos. I enjoy your channel and I'm glad I found it.

[@stewiefd3s]

Hey Mike, I started watching a month ago and thank you for bringing so much positivity into your content, you are truly an inspiration to me and many other people. Unlike other higher profile creators who speeds through builds with a massive budget, you showed us what is possible no matter how dire the situation can be. Your craftmanship and determination is incredible and now I know I should chase my dreams harder than ever, thank you so much.

[@PrizzaMike]

Hell ya man! That's what's up! I'm just a one man team! Anyone csn do what I do 🔥

[@Baldurin87]

Hey mike i kinda tripped over your channel by accident, but damn i addicted now, keep going and share the dream. much love from Denmark

[@PrizzaMike]

Thanks for stopping by! Means alot 🙂🙌

[@SlipsExploits]

Yours and a few other KZbin channels convinced me to get into cars. I wanted an integra pretty bad and after looking at the market, I couldn’t go for it. I ended up getting an rsx type s in august of 2022. I haven’t done much to the car other then header and exhaust, but you and others have taught me very well that I shouldn’t get cheap parts so I’m going for only good parts for her. Could not thank you and everyone else on KZbin or forums or just the community in general for all the help with everything. Thank you for doing what you do man.

[@quest8795]

Determination can get you a long way in life. Keep it up Mike 🙌

[@shamisiboroberto5714]

you're good story teller👏 good luck 👊

[@darx3351]

The first video I see after buying a prelude🤩Let's go!

[@iccy_mikey]

“No fresh starts, keep the story alive” is definitely gonna be my ig caption once my rebuild is complete ‼️

[@jensenovesian2861]

The sun shining off the paint looks unique. Rust bucket nightmare car.

[@dan44zzt231]

Love the DIY and budget build ethic on this channel 👏 I loved the original colour of the Teg.

[@PrizzaMike]

Same! I definitely want to respray it that 90s blue green

[@holgerwittmann8419]

I cant let go away my car either, even its just a little Kia Ceed ED , but i got it now for 16 Years and i experienced so much in my life with it. So i know what it means to have an emotinal bondage with a car.

[@TAC40_]

Bro when you said the manager sees you as just a number 💯 I work at a dealer and have been there for 4 years now and it’s hitting me hard af seeing all these new recall, junk filled cars that gives me so much frustration and it makes me so sad that I get home and don’t even have the energy to work on my s13 😕

[@andrewmitchell2189]

Mike you are awesome! I had no idea you had so much automotive experience. Crazy what has happened to your cars and what you did to keep the dream alive!

[@theshiftycoderyt4818]

This is literally the best video I’ve seen in so long, and this is giving me a lot of confidence to buy my own 94’ integra as it’s now my dream car. Thank you

[@bmcshane80]

This is how car guys are MADE. What an incredible video Mike! Ive sent this to my 9 year old nephew who's as obsessed with Cars as me and his Dad are, which we are obviously VERY happy about hahha The fact that you knew that you knew nothing but wanted to learn and didnt give up is INCREDIBLY admirable. You did what you had to do to make it happen, learning along the way, Outstanding. Big Love from Australia!

[@PrizzaMike]

Thanks a bunch David! I knew I had to put in the time and hard work to learn, but I was all for it! Still am! 🙏🔥

[@CerealKiller.]

I am in awe mesmerized. Truly Mike. I just wish to meet you even though it's impossible. You got my respect way before. *Lithuanian* here

[@sunfallen]

Dude that integra has been to hell and back! I think after that wreck on the black ice most anyone would of given up on it, or even before then seeing the state of the rockers, but you managed to keep it alive, and in just a few days, brings a tear to my eye! Thats one of my fave cars ,would love to pick one up in the 4 door variant just because its kinda odd and seldom seen compared to the coupe, but I do love my acura EL too much, and trying to own 2 cars would be quite difficult, but who knows.. youre pretty inspiring

[@draegongrime9010]

I love that you have taken 3 cars and kept them on the road even being a broke teenager for some of them. Much respect man

[@tassap9355]

Man i rarely watch a whole video on cars nowadays but your story hits some memory’s up!!

[@user-rf9er8ou9b]

Hello! I am Japanese and live in Japan i own er34 skyline I always look forward to your videos😊 We support you in the future👍

[@PrizzaMike]

Hello! Thank you for stopping by! R34 is one of my dream cars! Hopefully one day I can afford one haha

[@RS.8184]

Well done I am proud of u bro, I love seeing people explore their hobbies and interests. My dad owns his own workshop so I grew up on repairing cars and love junkyards. Love from the uk. Oh god bless good friends :)) enjoy your journey

[@PrizzaMike]

That's so neat! Your dad sounds like a cool guy as well!

[@spunii8248]

Mike is the best example of a car enthusiast none of this hate just good vibes ❤

[@sixeight8683]

You are the biggest inspirations to me on this platform. Of all the car youtubers, have really inspired me the most. I am baffled at how you have the ability to do these kinds of things and its so impressive to me. I really do want to use this kind of mindset when working on my car. Seeing you restore and fix these cars makes me want to do the same to my own, or pick up a cheap project to make a running driving car to enjoy again. Thank you for providing your knowledge and stories. I really hope that you can continue doing this and that you get the kind of money you should be getting for your hard work and persistance.

[@bencebalig5434]

Your 240sx was the reason I bought a 5gen civic. Blaaa blaaa I know not a 240 but still. I have to do so many bodywork on my car and seeing you did all of this with 2 of your car. Lets just say I'm a huge fan of you and you keep me motivated to do it on my own too. Thanks Mike

[@alejandro5418]

This is a true carguy story just after one watch it motivates me to build my foxbody and go to auto tech schooling with the passion that you have, keep up the great work man you and your content are an inspiration ive been a loyal subscriber for 1 year and will continue to be❤

[@EndriuJustPlayin]

My first and current car is over 20 years old Rover 25 and i love it, hopefully someday i will learn how to change oil myself too :D Much respect for keeping it running and not selling after first problem! :)

[@franciscoandas4411]

I remember seeing the Facebook post about the integra being crashed it was wild but glad you still kept it till this day

[@kurtbarrow6633]

Absolute legend Mike. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@ThatDudeArvai]

You were living the life building this car. I wish I would have learned as much as you did early on. But hey, I'm still learning more and more at 27 and have big plans for my car this year. Thanks for making killer content that inspires others to do their best and try something new.

[@therestingmitchface6241]

I love these long stories of how people got/built their cars and what they learned. Also love hearing that you have such supportive family members/friends that will help out and give you the knowledge you need to continue. Sounds like my buddy and his sister. Both are always down to help me learn how to work on my Accord, they also taught me the importance of lowering the car (on good suspension) before anything else. Your shop teachers sounded awesome too, letting you work on your projects and giving you that good advice about going out to work in a shop. Will always love hearing these stories. I’d love to hear the background of some of Nate’s cars or Fran’s 240 in the future if you’re down

[@PrizzaMike]

I couldn't agree more! Stories are some of my favorite features about cars I'm so down to film some stories from some of the other cars in the friend group 🔥

[@BellozeCountry]

Very inspiring my friend, like you I'm happy with my life a simple one and fixing cars at this stage is a blast! Keep rocking bro.!
