GENERAL General G2/G2IC Discussion

ive looked around the and site finally made an account my name is adam and i am in the process of completely rebuild a 90 da9 im going fully build gsr, full tuck/shave, and every other detail redone.
here is the progress so far
i bought a 90 teg for $1300 around the end of September 2010 and i am now in the process of completely rebuilding it, the interior was there kinda… so i just bought a whole new one for it. it was originally black and white and everyone that knew the car called it “the panda” but i have removed most the black on the passenger side and tried the driver but gave up this is how it i am doing a full shave/tuck with unknown motor plans for now this is goin to be a long long project
first day(i was fixing the shifter)

wat was under the hood

paint removal

its better…

i dont have pics but the whole passenger quater panel was replaced at some time which explains the two tone paint

pics of the new interior believe it or not these are the seats and carpet that came in the car

so the car needed so many part i bought this shell for 300$

ls out

dash out for tuck and i took the chassis harness out of the shell to make the car obd1

giant hole i have to fix from previous owner

2

this is why the tank is out

shave started

and the most recent purchase

and just a pic of my daily

3

nice man its definitely a project but a good one for sure… its nice to see more people rocking B18C’s instead of B16’s in their DA. cant wait to see more progress.

4

thanks
yea there was no way i would spend money on a b16 i would’ve went ls/v before that
as for now im just going to finish the shave then it goes back together

5

looks good

6

I like this thread :up:

What is up with that mess behind the motor. lol

7

thanks this is going to be my pride and joy when its done

the mess behind the motor is just my parts pile/shelf lol i dont have any space in my garage i have way to many integra and single cam parts

8

so ive been preoccupied with other stuff lately since my house got struck by lightning. But i did get the rtas knuckles front lcas and crossmember powder coated also got four brand new calipers that are poweder coated red also just waiting to order oe parts to go further here some pis of the new parts

rebuilt the headlights and diy black housed them


how it sits now

great progress

10

Nothing wrong with a B16A in the DA :). Most people can’t even handle the power of the stock B16A on a circuit track anyways, but people go for straight line speed so that is void I guess. Why the full wire tuck? Looking good so far though.

11

The b16a just doesn’t have the power I’m looking for so I went Gsr because that’s what I came across. And I’m not sure I just really like the look of a shaved bay

12

so i got alot of the grease off of the bottom so i can use Huculiner on it. heres the one side i cleaned vs the side i was starting on

most of the way clean

dirty just scraped with a razor

tunnel almost done

wheel wells with one coat of Herculiner

firewall with liner

why my garage is always so cramped

13

so i finally was able to come up with the money for all my OE parts and they finally arrived 2 and a half weeks later due to two discontinued parts

i love these stickers

i thought this was a cool bag

just waiting on bearings, ball joints, studs, lug nuts, rack n pinion, and camber kits to put it all together

14

so i got my bearings and installed them along with my arp studs and then i got my ss brake lines finally

15

wow looks REALLY good!

16

i only got two of the top hats painted and just bolted the calipers on to the knuckles to see the effect still need pads, ball joints, and rta bushings and this thing will be all set also got my short shifter today

and got this last weekend to fix the rust

17

Awesome build thread and awesome progress! I’m lovin the work you have done. What did you use to get the spray paint off the car?

18

I tried oven clearer first it helped, some then I went to just a paint scraper but got most of it off with a power washer it sucked and fucked the paint up bad paint was pretty clean before some retard painted it black

19

Did it mess up the original paint/clear coat?

20

Yep theres no clear and gouges into the paint it need body work bad
