My new toy.

[Bacon]

So, a few of you saw the thread about my CB7. Finished the blue top H23A swap, drove it for a while, and then traded it to a buddy of mine for his DA Integra. While the CB7 was an awesome car with plenty of potential, I wanted a platform I knew more about and he needed a four door car since he now has a little boy so we helped each other out.

Here is my old CB7:


Here is the new toy:


It needs some work but nothing that wouldn't be replaced eventually anyways. Right now, I am just doing maintenance things and fixing a few issues to keep it running good for a little while longer. Current mods are F/F Type 1 coilovers, Innovative 95A motor mounts, and a #1 brand axleback exhaust on it. It had 16" red Rota GT3s which I despise with a passion so I fixed that today

In with the new:


Immediate future mods will be a '93 front bumper, JDM one piece headlamps which are on the way now, new paint, and a few suspension pieces.

Distant future mods will be a B20 turbo mated to a JDM ITR transmission with LSD, 16" Mugen MR5s, and whatever else I don't pick up in the meantime.

Let me know what you think. Just for the record, there will be no stance here. Car will be kept subtle and clean.

What color are you going to go with for the paint job?

[Bacon]

Factory black.

[Potter]

Cool, Im looking forward to the progress!

[Relentless]

Looka like we're both going for the same setup motor wise. Goodluck to you sir..

[Bacon]

Thanks homie. I am looking forward to it.

Yeah man. B20 turbo is the shit! I am going to do a low boost build. Nothing too fancy.

Lol I hear that. Why you want such a short geared tranny though?

[Catnip]

Original black car getting a new black paint job, GSR blades, and a B20 vtec turbo... sounds like a perfect plan for a DA.

[Bacon]

Acceleration. The car will see track time eventually. Other option is a JDM B16 with LSD and keep it cable actuated.

No VTEC will be added. Keeping non-VTEC.

This will give you an idea

[Catnip]

Missed the non-vtec part, but still a solid plan. I've always wanted to build a DA.

[Bacon]

Me too man. Always loved them.

Too small and probably not real. I'm going to do a 16x7.

After a little bit of frustration involving a potentially bad buy, got in touch with the guy who has my lights and he said they will be shipped asap.

Look for pics of JDM Stanley lights soon.

Looks like its going to be a great project and you have a good idea of what your doing to make it good.

^^ This is a win!

And wow - The 1st to 2nd pic makes the paint look like it took a turn for the worse!

Yeah man. I like clean and simple. Though I have a couple of new ideas running through my head right now......:hint: :hint: k24 swap with a rhd conversion.......

In the first pic, it was still wet from when I just washed it right after bringing it home. As for the headlights, I bought them from a guy on g2ic.com, paid for them on the Dec 1st, and he still hasn't shipped them. They are supposedly getting put in the mail this week.

*birdman hand rub*

I want your car.....

[Bacon]

Hopefully the lights will be here within the next week or so. Been three weeks of hell trying to get the guy to ship them.

[Bacon]

Yeah man. Needs to be more out there.

Also, look for a collection of parts over the next few months. You will be able to put two and two together to figure out what's happening.

Hello one pieces

The one pieces were not mint as described so I will have to work my magic to do a few repairs.

[00CelicaGT]

Pull the housings apart and buff & polish, and to the same for the outside of the lens. They will be looking mint after that

Wanna do it for me? I'd fuck them up.

why would you pull the housing apart to buff it?????? ive never ever ever ever ever ever heard of anyone doing that.

I've removed the housing to change something about the inside of the light, but not to clean it.


use plastiX polish and a orbital, they will look like glass.

[Bacon]

Well, I need to do something with them. That very thin protective layer is starting to come off. When I opened the box, I found one of the housings had a broken corner. The piece is in the box but has to be glued back on and they were missing a connector.

that sucks. Best way to remove the housing is to set the light in the oven on low heat for a little. Glue is a lot more friendly when it's warm. A hair drier doesnt give the same effect of warming the entire seal at the same time. When the glue is warm, you can gently separate it without breaking anything.

[Bacon]

Dont really see the need to separate them. I do see the need to buff out the lens though but I dont know shit about doing any of that.

Even you would be pissed if you saw these and the condition they came in. Were definitely not mint as described.

Finally got impatient enough and installed my one pieces. Have low voltage to one of the fogs but I will work out those kinks later. Here is a pic:

The body looks to be decently straight from the pictures. Good luck with the project.
