-- My new DA --

[Blownb18c]

I pick up this DA from a buddy of mine that lost interest. It's a 91 RS with a B16 swap with a 11lb flywheel it has Koni yellows and Ground Control coilvers and a muffler put on a 2.25'' pipe with a hi-flo cat -- the motor has about 60k on it and the body has 378k -- i have plans to paint it and get some wheels soon the move to the interior, maybe boost.....car sat under a tree for bout 8 months so it was dirty took me about 1.5 hrs to wash the car then another hr to vacuum. I also just put on matching tailights...let me know what u think

[jhadleyh]

nice matt i like

[FasTech]

Cool beans.

[D3UC3S]

I like the car but its too much white...It needs the trim and normal stuff to kinda offset the brightness of the white. Like someone said on another thread, it will kinda look like a sheet of paper goin down the road.

Wheels look really good! G/l with whatever you do tho!

[DustnU]

Man car looks good, like what you did with it. You wouldn't wanna trade exhausts would you?? Brand new 2 1/4 inch piping with resonator and sport muffler has stock looking tip. Just a thought!!

[Blownb18c]

thanks again for the comments...thanks for the trade offer but i do think im gonna sell the car.....if anyone is interested PM me or i should have my f/s thread up tomorrow.....

[Blownb18c]

UPDATE: i decided to keep the car and put some more work into it........will post pics up of the work tomorrow......had a prob w/ my clutch but turned out to be the release fork spring, so ordered that....had a few gaskets that started to leak, so replaced them. cleaning the engine, tranny, and engine bay....painted under hood, adding a resonator to the exhaust, also painting the valve cover white to match the car....have a pal giving me his old GSR cams thinking of putting them in the B16 but not sure, any thoughts?

[DustnU]

Good luck with the rest of your work man.

[Blownb18c]
