Big Kev's DB1 Build

oil changed, adjusted the front end,wash/wax and buffed the car and also restored the headlights again.
also thinking about plasti dipping the wheels black .
wish i had a better camera.

[QUOTE=bendogz;2325982]you will see a big difference after wet sanding and compound.

here a fender i did on my DD using dupli color paint. but the clear i used was rustoluem automotive clear because it comes out better then the thinned out dupli clearcoat

[/QUOTE]

ill keep that in mind next time.
the duplicolor clear is very thin. i used the whole can lol

i really need to restore mine

Long story short I SOLD the db1 .
I then picked up a Gs Sedan from a buddy. Paid $600 bucks for it. lol

bought a battery, distributor pluggs and wires.
and then found out fuel pump wasn’t priming.

clean body and rust free integra

I had the famous passenger side leak and it blew out my blower motor.


the cowl seals were deteriorated and most of them were missing.


new seals for my new blower motor!


dont forget to re foam the cabin panel area.

I do know about foam but there are 8 seal clips down there which are deffinatly recommended to be changed out.

Just read your thread. Clean build you go going on :up:

yeah i replaced the 8 seals and i put clear rtv around the clips for extra insurance

picked up some mint seats

envious of that stock axle back.

Don’t have any pictures of the conversion but most of the steps was done from ls/vtecstitch write up ,except for pulling the motor and dash out and wiring the reverse lights.

And Due to my work schedule, My Cousin Mitch from Southern Auto Repair did the auto to manual swap at his shop. Also He was in need of my auto transmission so i opt to trade labor work for it lol.

Glad to see that it is coming along. Hope you keep this one. I still have those db1 jdm visors for sale. Let me know when you are ready to buy them.

A rust free G2? Does such a thing even exist anymore haha. What front lip is that?

Coming along great! Nice progress!

my g2 happens to be a Georgia native car , so not much snow here and its a carbon fiber jdp lip.

thanks trying too keep it going.

i still have u in mind, i heard what happened to your db2 … suks!

it be fun they said…

Not my first rodeo and this is 5th gear cruising…

Ga hwy speed limits are around 60-70 mph…
Ga city limits are 35-45 mph…

I foreshadow limited slip differential add on and a LS 5th gear in the future…

Yeah, it does suck. It’s fixable but I have an opportunity to get something else.

must be that b16 trans lol. i miss the 1st 3 gears but i dont miss that high cruising RPMs :dunno: . i almost was glad that the trans went bad…i do want to bust it open and put the 1st-3rd gears in my LS trans

its a gsr ys1, the gear ratio is similar too the jdm gsr transmissions i believe. dont get me wrong its fun too drive but on this motor that has 230k+ miles on it lol, kinda scurred …
