here it is parked at my work with stock gold/silver g2 rims w/o hubcaps cant seem to find them.

car sits soooooooo low lol. foundout its on cut lowering springs :confused: rides real smooth for some reason lol.

engine shot, got the air intake for free from my friend trying to clean up the motor little by little.

was at work one day and a older guy comes thru with a G2 and asked if i was interested in some headlights for it he said they were one peice headlights and he couldnt see with them and replaced them with ebay one peice headlights. picked them up for $40! stanley 1 peice headlights has some haze and doesnt have the h4h connectors at all but its all good for now.

Nice, another DB1 owner :smiley: What’s weird is we both got our cars in Nov ha. Welcome to the site and good luck!

bought a hood bra from Peter(Sumillshit) for $40. rocked it for a little bit then one morning i came out side and had to open my hood and the bra got caught up on something and ripped it completly :confused:

ordered some passwordjdm window visors got them for $115 :slight_smile:

put some 10K hids in

side view with my fogs on, ran to the accessory panel by the fuse box and wired to ignition so they come on without headlights on :slight_smile:

picked up a DA8 xsi engine badge so i rivited it on to my core support

nice joe good progress.cant beleive you got the headlights for 40! you decide on b20 or b16 yet?

little da meet at my buddys house with me working on my db1

heres my cluster running with the newer LS in it.

picked up a 93 gsr cluster for $100 the other day everything hooked up and working. Only reason i picked up the cluster is that my buddy had it sitting since he had a Db2 back in the day and he said it would make my car unique so picked it up and swapped it in

going to go with the b20. doing a down payment on it on saturday (the 7th) and personally picking out my b20 and making sure its a 00’ spec B20B so its the 147hp 133torque one :slight_smile: plus i’d rather have a warrenty than not one at all.

went for a drive to RICHTUNED MOTORSPORTS in Auburn,wa to get some obd1 goodies:

obd1 pr4 ecu chipped with a LS base map 4000rpm launch control, 6800rpm CEL shift light and rev limit to 7200rpm also got a obd0-obd1 jumper harness and wiring, ordered rywire obd0-obd1 distributor plug n play kit, and ordered a TD-55U OBD1 distributor off of Amazon.com for $90

well 10K hids decided to go out so on st. pattys day decided to go with this…

ordered some amber bumper signals and picked up a stock front lip which i was lacking of.

thanks man

new exhaust welded cat converter 2" piping with resonator and stock muffler and tip

heres a side pic as how she sits.

updated motor pic: new radiator, all coolant hoses to block, clamps and fluid, k&n air fliter and just a plain old LS lol.

and sadly one day i started her up and it took forever to crank and when it did this happened :frowning:

going to swap a 00’ B20B high comp in with all new motor mounts and everything else ill need and convert it fully to obd1.

Hey man looking good! Making some serious progress

Haha dam Joe, you should atleast wash it from time to time :stuck_out_tongue:

Like i said before, still looks good. And makes me miss my DB1 hard core

Nice pick up on the JDM 1pcs and that bra looked like it had its times so it decided to go…
