Ryan Basseri of Rywire is well known to the Honda enthusiast community as the main man when it comes to tucked, mil-spec, high-performance wiring harnesses. Even people outside of the Honda enthusiast community have come to him for his wire harness skills for everything from GMs to Nissans, but that doesn’t matter to the average SEMA show attendee. And that’s an even stronger testament to the magnitude the Integra Type R he displayed in the CSF Radiator booth has accomplished. People who’d had no clue what they were looking at couldn’t help but stop and admire it. The people who knew what it was found technology usually reserved for the highest levels of racing and perfectly fitting and executed modifications almost everywhere they looked. The Rywire GT3 Integra was so impressive that it was picked as one of the top ten vehicles in SEMA’s Battle of the Builders. If you want to see how Ryan’s Type R did in the final judging, be sure to check your local listings for it on Velocity Network airing February 1.

We talked with Ryan about his award-winning build and found out more about its origin and purpose in the video below.
