Be sure to dress warm. They are calling for 4-7 inches of snow this weekend here at Ft Knox.
so been home for a couple days now
Washed my DA and made my own Ghetto Lip lol im gonna see whate griptape looks like on it for shits and giggles i plan on getting a JDP lip when i get back from korea, good news is my buddys dads gonna let me keep my DB1 in his shop once its finished and he is gonna do all the body work and paint it for me while im gone ^^
well here is my DB1 all clean
Removed Cruise Control since my Nardi doesnt have the switchs lol
And my GHetto Lip
Im gonna transfer over my Sk2 Blk LCAs this week and figure out a custom Exhaust with a Oval muffler using my Tanabes Piping minus muffler
so its on, the DB1 is getting painted Urban Green, while im in Korea, ive got a spare hood that will be painted aswell so i can rotate it with my CF hood
also while im in Korea im gonna start picking up parts for my turbo setup
Parts:
BC Valves,Springs, and Retainers
BC Stg2 Turbo Cams
VIctorX or Custom IM
Swap over my Extended IM studs
Hondata IM Gasket
ARP headstuds
Cometic Headgasket
ARP rod bolts
SP log manifold kit w/3in DP
Garret super 60-1 turbo
Tial 38mm wastegate 0.7bar spring
SP 24x9x3 FMIC
Tial type Q BOV
Half Core radiator
for electronics i was thinkin AEM EMS, or Hondata s300, but my friends got a ECU with Basemap from his old LS turbo i might run.
im gonna build my own charge piping my goals are 300-350whp @10-12lbs of boost
Q:i want to run greddy SP2 for its tone and sound level but i want to optimize performance so i was thinkin of runnin Thermal 3in turbo exhaust, with my goals do you think the exhaust would effect my performance?
So jelous of the free body and paint work:rockon:
I cant wait to see the urban green color, that gonna be sick:up:
as far as boost goes. I would recomend running a bigger WG to be safe. setup sounds solid so you should move tunning to your priority list. Do you plan on tunning yourself? its not hard, do your research read a book or 2. check out PGMFI.org and maybe even lurk around on hondata.com… personaly i love my s300 and cant wait to use the boost by gear feature:manual: :rockon: and ive also heard great things about the EMS, allthough your gonna need a tunner for that one.
oh yeah, I would use a OEM head gasket 
im thinking about tuning it myself since alot of the shops around here do shit tunes, i was leaning towards s300 cause its cheaper and ive heard good things about it, so today i installed my itr tb and rewired my mapsensor and cleaned up the wiring il post pics tonight lol it was a bitch getting my stock intake tube over the tb
Damn Steve have you sat down at all since you’ve been back?
Good luck on boosting. The DB is coming along nicely.
When are you leaving? I seen on Nick’s thread you guys were
talking about a meet maybe? Anyways keep up the good work.
See you around.

Urban Green should look nice for sure. List looks legit as well, except for that cometic head gasket, go OEM for sure there. Also stick with the S300, it’s a LOT cheaper and has most of the same features. As for the SP2, it will definitely hinder the power you can make over a 3" system, but you could always just run a cut out as well too
Yeah i was thinkin about a cut out but il figure all that out when i come home as for the headgasket i will run OEM
