My 93 gs build thread. Past, present, future.

I’ve been on the forum for quite some time but I don’t get around to posting much. Figured I’d share my new 93 gs with everybody and go over my old db1. I’ve got a ton of plans just trying to get my wallet to agree with them haha. I bought my first g2 in 2008. When I first started getting into imports and thought of building one I instantly fell in love with the g2 Integra. My first was a 1990 db1.

When I got it it wasn’t in the best shape but it was cheap and a starting point.

I didn’t do too much to it in the first few years. I bought some clean ls mesh wheels and dropped it on eibach sportline Springs with tokico blues. Got a skunk2 front camber kit and no name exhaust. At the time I was just out of school and not making tons of money so I did what I could afford. In 2011 the car was stolen and found a week later stripped. I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of it so I decided to start over. All of my main wire harness was cut into pieces from the theives so I decided to convert to obd1 and threw a 93 gsr harness in just in case I decided to run vtec later on. While I was at it I did a wire tuck.

I picked up another ls motor and went through it. Replaced all the gaskets had the head cleaned and milled and put a new clutch in.

Got it up and running after about a year of sitting.

Ended up picking up a carbon fiber hood and got a great deal on some 5zigen fno1r-c’s from a buddy

That’s pretty much how it sat until now. Recently I decided it wasn’t worth the time and money to fix all the rust and dents on the db1 so I started looking for a new g2. I came across a 1 owner 93 gs that was in excellent shape (as far as Utah g2’s go) so I pulled the trigger. Has a few MI or rust spots and 1 dent on the driver fender, a far cry better than my db1.

I gave her a good bath and put on some Tein Springs I had laying around. It’s currently on my fno1r-c’s and has a skunk2 mega power catback exhaust with Megan racing header. Last weekend I pulled out the worn out ls that was in it and replaced it with the motor from my db1 which was in much better shape.


I’ve got a lot of plans for new suspension, some exterior changes, fixing the little body work that needs to be done and new paint. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to a few auto X events and wide open Wednesday events at our local track Miller Motorsports Park. That’s about it for now. As I do more work to her I’ll be posting updates. Thanks for looking.

Nice clean GS, great starting point. Is that Rottweiler butt in the last picture?

Thanks. Haha yeah I didn’t even notice. That’s our rotti Molly.

so the db1 is a parts car now?

Yeah. Tried to sell it whole and didn’t have much interest. I still need to swap over the front lca’s and rta’s so I have my bushings. I had done a full energy suspension bushing kit on the db1.

Still have those black housing headlights? :smiley:

I don’t. They were taken when the car was stolen. It has oem headlights.
