i picked up the car yesterday i dont have the amber corners just the amber bumpers.. i have a lot of people that want stuff so it might take me a bit to sort everything out

cant-think-of-a-name

What intake is that? Looks pimp.

da9licious

its a maaad old "ractive" pipe from toucan industries? i dunno exactly it was supposed to fit an accord but i cut it.. i like it because it looks similar to the arc but was pretty cheap.. i don't know if I'm going to keep it it has a good deep sound to it but i never dynoed it compared to anything else

cant-think-of-a-name

If you get rid of it...I'll buy it lol.

DAintegraGSR

OldSkoolDa91

The first few pictures had me saying "oh no, please don't ruin that car". You pulled it off the road of meth addicted male prostitution and brought it back to the land of high class executive escort status.

DAintegraGSR

Damn bro, sorry to hear... thats pretty shitty on there end.

To me it's those kinda small details that make the diffrence. look good and the project is lookin great.

eastbayrep

wow such a clean DA build...makes me wanna do mine like that! i might eventually copy your brake combo..how much did it run you and where did you buy?

have you had any problems with the suspension, tie rods, axles, wheel bearings etc? im having major headaches with mine having to replace almost everything!! im spending so much on maitenance i cant afford to buy gooodies.

OldSkoolDa91

^ thats part of owning a da lol. they're older and the stock parts are pretty well worn out unless someone actually took care of it before we buy them. just gotta take care of all the maintenance and then you can play

da9licious

the brakes are all ebc.. i actually got them about a year and a half ago, just never got around to putting them on.. i think it was around 600 with the earls stainless steel lines.. i'm not positive but pretty sure i got it from optauto or some other random online brake store

my car was well maintained for the most part.. the only problems i've had are the following...

when i first got the car the grounds to the engine didnt get good connection so i had trouble every once and a while starting my car

passenger side windshield to floor would leak when it rained heavy i just welded a plate over the vent so water doesn't get in there anymore

drivers side crank is hard to roll up every once and a while

rear trailing arm bushings were totally shot, and would cause the car to vibrate something awful over 90 mph or during hard breaking

throttle cable "melted" inside itself and stopped working /replaced no problems

broken about 3 throwout bearing springs.. have no idea why but it didnt do it until i changed the engine

i also have replaced almost ever bushing/ suspension component.. just take your time and do it right the first time.. it will be much more rewarding when you get it all done

thedb63

x2!

thedb63

i did that before once there is a certain way they go in you need to use needle nose pliers or a hook type tool to bring the spring around the fork the right way otherwise you will keep breaking them... the fork does not sit on the spring when you have the bearing set up it sits right behind the spring inbetween the bearing and the fork

da9licious

i would like to think it did it right every time but the arms on those things are so small and puny it dosnt surprise me they break easy

da9licious

still not finished but here are some current motor pics or the subscribers

ohsojdmdc

nice whens it going in?

MD426

i would totally give it to that blue coolant line and it would put out over 1000hp because im pretty drunk right now and there would be pure ethanol threw there lol. But seriously, im jealous, I want to deck out my DA like no other.
