Re: DB Squad.....for the Teggers with 2 extra doors
I bought OEM equivalents since they were cheaper. The urethane I picked up at McMaster-Carr for about 26 bucks I think. Its enough to do 2 or 3 sets of torque mounts. I cant recall if I used all mine up but I'll check when I continue cleaning out my garage. If I didn't, ur welcome to use whatevers left.

-2.5 F, -1.5 R
Toe In spec
Still running my old Shocks and GC coilovers, until i get my driving style down. 350F 320R, to soft for track. But i got my Star Specs dialed down, they like 38psi Hot. So i was happy with that. Got even wear and Temps across the tires.
Need new clutch though, started slipping on 3rd session. So thats my next project, along with a Huge engine Maintenance overhaul for peace at mind. Also a half size radiator does not cut it with 101 ambient temps on track.
Skunk2 makes ok stuff, there engine products are used in H2 track cars. But for suspension there's far better companies at there.

Re: DB Squad.....for the Teggers with 2 extra doors
Okay guys, I have an update for y'all: Wheels are going to be sold on Sunday and I am going to start pulling the car apart NEXT weekend. With that being said, I do not want anyone to take this as a FS thread, I just want to give you guys a heads up first before it hits the FS threads on here officially.
Parts I will be looking to sale:
- DC/DB/EG/EJ ASR brace. Silver. Purchased BNIB and hasnt had much road time at all. There shouldnt be ANY damage to the brace right now but I do not want to say "mint" and be wrong.
- DB ITR door panels. Not "mint" but REALLY close. Some scuffs from shipping from PasswordJDM to the owner before me but nothing to scorn over.
- DB ITR Carbon window switches. MINT
- ITR cluster. Everything works BUT the fuel gauge. Low fuel light works just not gauge.
- ITR carbon ashtray and cup holder. Taken BNIB from OEM Honda bags when I purchased the car. Still in the same condition.
- Black interior door handles, window switches, door cups.
- 99.99% Full black interior conversion w/ ITR armrest w/o ITR badge. Dash has been modified to accept gauges where cruise and dimmer switches were. Can include OR NOT include the boost and water gauges there now. Steering column has small hole where turbo timer is mounted currently. Gauge bezel has hole where Do-Luck VTEC light was install upon purchase of car. Not visible from driver seat so never bothered me.
- 2.8967 sets of DB tail lights. One set is OEM and the other is JDM minus one outer light. Both sets are MINT and have been hit with Plasti-X recently
- DB OEM/JDM Honda window visors
- 94-97 DB/DC headlights. Pretty mint. Were polished out when bumper was off during turbo build.
- 94-97 front bumper. NO splash guard underneath. SOME blemished. RBM is the color of my DB. "JDM" H badge on the front
- DB rear trunk. FRESH out of the paint shop! RBM and matches PERFECTLY! "JDM" "Honda" and H emblem. Latch is busted and will close but good luck getting it to close back
- Non-sunroof headliner. Tan, no flaws.
I have performance parts as well but waiting to see if my buddy wants it all or just some of it. If not all, you guys will be notified first!!!!!!

Re: DB Squad.....for the Teggers with 2 extra doors
has anyone had problems aligning their windows because they dont close or go up right? so that water doesnt get in? I took off my door panels and try to align them but i cant seem to get it right. They dont go up right and water gets in. Does any shops fix this or is there a guide that helps with this? I hate frame less windows...
thanks guys
thanks guys

I'd look into changing spring rates at the very least. You may find your drive to be a little more exciting and run quicker lap times. I'd imagine your car right now to push into the turns, forcing you to let off the gas more than you want to?

Re: DB Squad.....for the Teggers with 2 extra doors
Jus took a pic of mine a few days back thought I'd share it, and I was wondering if anyone has a green db on circuit 10s or gold gt3 I kinda want to change rims but I haven't really seen too many with them to really make up my mind

Re: DB Squad.....for the Teggers with 2 extra doors
Most of they're suspension and accessories are made over in taiwan now to keep up with the rest of the guys, blox, blackworks, f&f etc.
But that is just to compete with the copycats
From what I'm understanding their new header is also gonna be mass produced overseas to cutthroat the replica header market

Re: DB Squad.....for the Teggers with 2 extra doors
lol ur to kind, im still a nub to all this. I wouldnt upgrade anything if i was you. Maybe some decent pads and brake fluid, but the rest i would run as is. You learn alot about the car in stock form.

Re: DB Squad.....for the Teggers with 2 extra doors
Fresh.
serio?
where? plz dont say qtr panel...
lol...hell nah! not with my clutch.. i would'nt be able to push her to the limit. The itr/ctr tranny 1) Always wanted one, a spare 
2) Pretty sure its a huge advantage when out on the track I totally agree on the pads/brake fluid tho, especially through my friends' previous experiences. I plan on taking the motor as is. Then build the head/block after a few sessions when its no longer the DD.

Re: DB Squad.....for the Teggers with 2 extra doors
Sorry to hear...How bad was the damage?
Worst part is....This probably could've all been avoided had that person been more attentive and not so careless while in the lot. I highly doubt it was a uncontrollable incident.
