ROBBY HUGHES

The Integra is his focus for now;
this is no "for show only" trailer car.
This yellow beauty did a stint in SCCA Auto-Crossing, and it sees daily grocery action, as well as trips out
of town on the treacherous Interstate.
Still, the paint takes the beating and looks flawless.
This is a true testament to the quality of
this three year old paint job.
As for the show circuit, last year (1999),
was the breakthrough year for this Integra
It received
"Sport Compact of the Year"
honors at the Power Jam in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Also, Robbie and his Integra nabbed
2nd place at Nopi Nationals '99 in the mild division.

This yellow Integra rolls on 18" Konig Elans painted the same color as the body,
and obtains the race inspired stance Eibach
Sport Line lowering springs.
As mentioned before, the paint is just the right shade- not too bright, not too dull, with Plymouth Prowler Yellow being the color of choice.
As for the body styling, Robbie has customized the sheet metal to his own liking, and has massaged a Super Touring Wing to add the necessary symnetry.

The interior has been brightened with
the same color vinyl as the exterior,
and with the addition of the sound system
pounding through the J/L Audio 15" sub, this car gets noticed in a big way.

Performance is where this Acura shines.
The 1.8 liter (B18B1)
has seen a balance and blueprint job
after the crank and rods were shot peened.
The head was also ported, polished,
and received a competition valve job.
As if that wasn't enough,
the addition of a 75 shot dry nitrous set-up
with a purge will
draw the attention of the occasional red light hot-head.

The LS beast hasn't been clocked in 1320 yet,
but on other occaions
the Integra has yet to be seen in any rear-view mirrors.

This entire package is definitely a standout
in a sea of mediocrity,
while not at all destroying street-ability.
The Yellow Beatuty from Oxford, Alabama
deserves thebe the Featured Tuner,
and when Robbie finishes his next
projects, we will be there to cover the unveiling.
