Michael (photog) Jackson (skater)
I met Jackson at Skateshop Day at Brick & Mortar. He's super motivated to go shot photos and get footage, so we went out the other day and got some photos.

Your winner is Billy's EG Si! Congrats to Billy, and now on to the story...
You're not gonna get much of one here. Sorry. See, Billy has agreed to be the first Honda featured in CAM Auto Magazine. So I'm sorry if you were excited to hear about all the work he's done to it since he bought it, or how he intentionally blew up the SOHC turbo motor that was in it, or about the body work he did, or the B20/VTEC that's in there now. I'm sorry you're not gonna read about the Diamond Black TE37's or the Omni Power coilovers. I'm sorry.
BUT you will get to read about it on 6/30. In the meantime, here's some photos to tide you over:

311hp's Turbo Acura Integra
"It's an out for me." -Jarett, the owner
We all have hobbies, I take the pictures you see on this blog and I write the words you read. Some people make music, some write, and some hunt. Jarett's hobby is building his Integra.
The car has traveled a long road to be the vehicle you see here. When Jarrett purchased the car is was running on a SOHC motor. Odd? Yes. Unheard of? Nope. With the help of his friends Cory, Bobbo, Micah, Jeremy and Tyler this amalgamated pile of Honda-ness became the functional and powerful example you see before you.
First thing to go was the single cam boat anchor. Replacing it is an LS/VTEC setup utilizing stock LS internals and being held together with ARP head bolts. Attached to the LS/V is an Edelbrock Victor X intake manifold, some MSD spark an Earl's oil drain plug wires, and a LovFab Tubular Bottom Mount turbo manifold. Hanging off the bottom mount is a Garrett GT3582R ball bearing turbocharger, which is capable of moving enough air to make 650hp. Jarrett is only looking to make 400hp with this set up. A Tial wastegate and TurboXS boost controller keep the boost in check and a Tial blow off valve relieves excess presure.
The air, after being sucked in and compressed by the turbo, is sent through a custom bent 2.5" charge pipe and into the Victor X. In the combustion chamber it meets fuel, which was squirted by 750cc injectors, and proceeds to go bang. The spent gasses exit the combustion chamber through to LovFab manifold, through the turbine and out the back of the car via an Espiler 3" exhaust.
Controlling the whole fiasco is a Neptune base map. Don't worry, he's getting it tuned in a couple of weeks by Cortney. All will be right in the Integra's world soon enough. Getting the power to the wheels is a GS-R transmission with an Exedy stage 3 clutch and 11lb flywheel.
Now that we've discussed the means by which this Integra makes power, let's talk about the means by which it conveys itself around corners. The car is lowered on a set of Omni Power coliovers. Included with the coilovers are a set of Nitrogen charged shocks. The ride is a little stiffer than you'd expect, but not intolerable. Blox LCA's help keep things aligned, and DC upper strut tower bars and Megan Racing lowers help keep everything from twisting about too much.
Completing the transfer of power from motor to asphalt is a set of Falken Azenis wrapped around a set of 15" hyper black Rota Circuit 8's. Sticky and stylish: two words you don't hear together too often (or at all), but the right words to describe the wheel and tire combo on this Milano Red Integra.
Inside the car is one Corbeau seat, large enough for a normal human being to sit in, and one GS-R leather passenger seat, sourced from Dave: master of the ghetto arts. The passenger can fiddle around with the Alpine deck while the driver keeps an eye on the engine's condition and boost pressure via Autometer gauges and the Air/Fuel ratio via an AEM Wideband. Gears are changed via a Civic Type-R topped with an Integra Type-R shift knob. Everyone gets to put their feet on genuine-ish ITR floor mats.
Outside this Integra sets itself apart by rocking the original Milano Red paint, a carbon fiber hood, and a black replica Type-R lip. Silverstar bulbs light up the road when the low beams are on, and yellow high beams provide...hell, do you need a reason for the yellow high beams? They look good. People will know you are turning when they see the amber turn signals blink.
Most of the parts were bought, but a few parts were made by the owner himself: the radiator support bears his initials, a bumper support might (I didn't look to see) and some "bumper spacers" definitely don't but he made them.
A lot of people have hobbies, but few get to display the fruits of their amateur labor. And fewer still have results this good.

May 7
About a week a go I was coerced, err invited to tag along with my brother as he went around to local businesses to hang up posters for the University of Utah Jimmyball Basketball Camps. Here's what I was seeing...
First things first, local indigenous flora.
We hit paydirt at Whole Foods
Then the fire crew showed up, and parked rather conveniently.
If I shot this in July you'd damn well better believe there'd be fireworks and at least one Bald Eagle in the frame
Signage
Here's my brother singing in the car and doing some choreography. He does this all the time. Here he's singing something by Alabama and ridiculing me for not knowing who the hell they are.
Speeding home
When we got home Jason proceeded to sit down on the couch and fall asleep for a good 3 hours.
And with that, I'm done

I've been moving
That's why no posts lately. That, and no opportunities to shoot. I'm supposedly shooting a turbo S2000 and a turbo Integra, but when I'm not sure.
Anywho, here's some super awesome cell phone pics I shot during the move!
old place
new place
I'll be shooting some better pics soon. Some Better Homes and Gardens type stuff.
