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.

Thanks Mike for being a cool guy in general and I'd love to see more of your achievements in the future!

[@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

Much respect young man! Love your z32 build. As a 53 year old man that got back into car builds after 35 years, you are inspiring.

[@LOVE-VIBES-X-PROJECT-CARS]

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]

Dude right! This poor Integra 😅 We used to have great cars and coffee events, but so many people would do butnouts leaving and also caused car accidents, so it seems many places no longer host them :/ I wish I had money when the cars were so cheap! I missed out big time haha

[@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.

Well said Angel, we’re car enthusiasts same as classic car collectors etc i drive responsible not out here speeding wreaking havoc most cops like you said profile “tuner cars” its messed up fr but doing what you said is on point I agree.

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

rewatching these old videos to see how much has changed 💭💭

[@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.

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. I hope everything keeps going upwards and that soon enough you find better financial stability. Thank you for the huge motivation that you are.

[@PrizzaMike]

Hell ya! Just stick with it and the vision will come together 🔥 Sucks about the backorder parts tho..

[@imbe.]

Dude. This is some journey man! Gonna get my self a hoodie. That design and after listening to this story. 10/10.

[@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!

[@watersmart1]

Your creations are you and life is the feeling you get when you have your chance to prove to yourself that you live to learn.👍❤️🇨🇦 Great video!

[@drewsmith8537]

I’m not sure what it is about your channel but your videos are so peaceful to me I enjoy them a lot keep it up thanks

[@ipodrulerz99]

You’ve easily become my favorite person to watch on KZbin, I’ve been specifically waiting on this video for a while. You’re gonna go far man, keep doing what you’re doing! I’ve got projects in my driveway collecting dust, I hope one day I’m as motivated as you are to get them finished 🙌🏻

[@PrizzaMike]

Appreciate you man! Just focus on one step at a time and you'll get there 🔥

[@nathaniel.b4228]

As a young teenager I want too become a mechanic and learn more about cars I already know a lot. But this makes me want to keep going with it its very inspiring:)

[@tommyjefferson9525]

You are One hell of a skateboarder and a great car tec so no matter what you Will always be somebody special so keep on keeping on My friend

[@PrizzaMike]

Appreciate you homie 🙌🔥

[@kyan8503]

It’s sucks to here about your financial state, generally my favourite KZbinr atm, super refreshing to see someone actually work on their cars. I’m a apprentice boilermaker, and to see you what you’ve done has given me a lot of motivation to finish, continue modifying my cars. ❤ from Australia

[@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

[@zachfreeze3964]

100% this mentality is why I took on a build that no one else would touch, by no means is it a gem, but it’s a platform to learn. Once was on fire, total loss, now I can drive it and it fucking rips, can’t wait to start getting it looking good again.

[@Katsinum]

Every time I see a new upload I can't wait to watch it, whatever it is you put out. Your genuine, yet positive introspective attitude is something that can't be faked. You're an inspiration to me and many others, Mike. It's been cool following your journey and I'm looking forward to what's next. Best wishes from Hungary!

[@PrizzaMike]

Thanks for stopping by, it means alot! Greetings

[@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 🔥

[@thomasstropicals7]

That was such an amazing story. Your channel and what you do has inspired me to try to buy a project car of my own!

[@sleepyrobtv]

now it makes sense why the 240 restore looks so good. love the journey man keep it up!

[@PrizzaMike]

Appreciate you man!

Your honesty an inspiration you did exactly what you wanted to do and didn’t let anybody stop. You know that’s not great I don’t know what it is actually it’s funny I just passed on one two weeks ago because I didn’t have the money on the spot very rushed and beautiful shape with leather interior.

[@beckaksel8783]

Your videos are very cool and cozy)) Thank you very much for them :)

[@luisacarrion1805]

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.

[@richardcardona6064]

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!

[@official_Quube]

I love your videos, the way you talk about cars, how passionate you are, i just love it

[@E92Matthew]

I literally love how motivated you are I’ve been putting off working on my accord and every time I watch your videos I get motivated I’ve gotten a lot done to it and thank you ❤

[@mychalenyeart1688]

Bro, love the content, I love the junkyard videos more than any. I feel like you do a build that’s crazy(and your more than capable) it will expand you channel like no other. But I love going to junkyards myself and have completely transformed my 2011 f150 from what it was to what it is, because of junkyard finds. Keep it up man and I’ll be there watching videos everytime!

[@PrizzaMike]

Appreciate you man! 🙏 🔥

[@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.!

[@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 🙏

[@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.

[@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 🙂🙌

[@brandonazofeifa3551]

Man your videos makes me push to work on my car even if im on the tough part of the build thanks

[@tassap9355]

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

[@kurtbarrow6633]

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

[@240justin7]

watching your videos always puts me in a good mood and gets me motivated to work on my cars, im glad to see that KZbin is working out for you

[@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

[@matthewgary6054]

Thank you so much for this amazing video! I personally have been struggling on what to do with my life and have been wanting to get into the automotive world but dont know. The ending part hit me hard which is even in rough times (such as financial) there is a place for someone in the world. Keep up the amazing work you do!

[@Dvxit]

Watching you build your cars inspired me to start my 4.8Ls swapped 65 el camino.
