!!!jdmda9's DA build thread!!!
...Just thought i should share...
K ppl so i had a 91 2dr 5spd white DA teg that i had purchsed from my brother last year around mid august. It was my very first car! At first, the car looked like sh it! I wish i had made a build thread about that car too but at the time i was a noob to IA and i didnt know how to post threads with car pics. Anyways, after a while i took the clean look very seriously and decided to make it CLEAN!
Here are some things that i did to it.
-It was painted gunmetal gray, slammed, got a 93 front bumper along with a CF mugen front lip, Stanley side markers, had a whole interior change done to it: it was blue but i made it black, put oem jdm 1 piece's and threw some polished dr-20's on it. Along with a complete B17A1 swap. Once this was all done, the car looked like this:
I thought i had accomplished what i wanted so badly.
But 2 months after i had dropped in the swap, the motor jumped timing and then tore up the whole valvetrain setup.
After i fixed the valves and had the car running again, it later started to lose compression on piston #1. From that point on, i decided that it was time for a new swap. And here it was:
Came out of a different 93 GSR DA teg and only had 133k on it.
The day came and i pulled out the old swap.
And threw in the new one.
But unfortunately here is where my plans changed.
Me and one of my friends decided to do a full wire tuck which only brought of the doom for my car.
He over clipped some wires and ruined the harness completely!!! Not only was the engine harness ruined. but the whole dash harness was ruined as well. It drove me crazy because i looked everywhere for a harness for over 2 months.
Not just any harness will work, if you know what your doing you may understand. Once i found one, the guy wanted like 300 for what i needed. I thought that was BS!!!
So heres what the car ended up looking like
After looking at it, i decided to just make it my project car. Maybe repaint it, shave and tuck the bay, drop a jdm ITR 5 lug conversion on it and last but not least, go K-series!!!
I figured that if i was going to pay $300 for wiring, i might as well waste the other $200 and buy a shell. So thanks to "zumolives," i was able to obtain my new project.
It is a 90 burgandy LS, 5spd DA teg that i got for $500 bucks. I love the car because its basically dentless and rides like a champ from the inside! Yea it needs a little TLC but i have plenty of it for this car.
I plan on taking out the LS since it has a bad piston ring on it and plan on dropping in the same swap that came on my other 91 DA teg.
Here it is again:
The swap has 133k on it and is going to b swapped with LOTS of goodies pretty soon!!!
Heres a few of the other things that are to go into this new beast:
-Yakima bike rack
-JDM 1 piece headlights
-12k hid's
-Mint GSR blades
-Eibach lowering suspension
-Skunk2 strut bar
-Stanlet oem sidemarkers
-VIS carbon fiber hood (which needs to be buffed bad!)
-93 GSR DA teg front and rear seats
-93 GSR DA cluster
-nd much more!!!
Theres much much more where this came from. This is only the beginning for this project. I plan to wet sand and buff the whole car pretty soon.
Slam it, and add all the pieces that i have listed above!
Plz keep it tuned in because theres more where this came from.
Repz will b appreciated and THIS ONE IS FOR ALL THE DA LOVERZ!!!
EDITED: 5/14/09...!
I was out for a while nd was unable to post up the latest progress that was to the teggy.
But here we go again...!
Had to slap on the super clean GS-R DA headlights.
Then the car was put under heart surgery!
-Now wheres that B17 swap?-
Unfortunately at the time that i was dropping in the B17 swap, i was camera less so i didnt have the opportunity to take any pics of the rest of the heart surgery!
Bt i have pics of the after results!
Looks like if it just roll'd out the lot!!!
Now its time for that GS-R interior...!
-OUT WITH THE OLD!-
-ND IN WITH THE...UHM...MINT! LOL!-
-NOW ITS TIME FOR THIS THING TO BE SLAMMED!-
!...FROM THIS...!
!!!...TO THIS...!!!
Some may think that this is it for my DA...bt the truth is that im barely getting started!
Theres so much more to come bt you got to bear with me ppl!
Im saving my real plans for the summer...!
!...Stay tuned...!
