"Throughout the rebuild I had the car towed to so many different places. Luckily I had the best AAA package available because I really abused the free towing," Anh says with a smile. One of the spots it was dropped off at was Modern Bench Operations where the exterior was cleaned up and prepped for the new exterior components. These new parts included an authentic Backyard Special front bumper and a rare Mugen Generation II rear wing. Once the freshly painted pieces were aligned and installed on Anh's R, he and Fred were able to adjust the Zeal S6 coilovers to the appropriate ride height. The interior remains unchanged from before the Chapman/Rywire rebuild. With JDM ITR Recaros and ITR rear seats, there's really no reason why it would call for a dramatic change. Add a Mugen Racing 3 steering wheel to the mix and you have a timeless Integra Type R interior.
Despite the two builds going in two completely different directions, they both have one thing in common: attention to detail. Both builds are incredibly elaborate and there are enough details in each individual build to fill every page of Super Street on any given month. As far as engine choice goes, it's all left in the eye of the beholder. Personal preference is what drives every build and it is no different for engine selection. The K-series may have the newer technological benefits and power from the factory, but the B-series is tried and true and remains a prime candidate for any enthusiast looking for a swap, especially those with a smaller budget. In the battle of K versus B, we would have to call it a draw in favor of all die-hard Honda heads. As long as we continue to see builds the caliber of both Anh Truong's and Ryan Der's, the Honda community will continue to be at the forefront of the industry for years to come.
