Re: **Upstate NY DB1 B20vtec Build**
thanks guys, yah the i dont relly like the red on the rims but they were the size and offset i wanted, i figured the body horrible looking so the only thing i could do for the time being is give it a super flush stance. look for much more focus on the suspension and brakes to come!

your car isnt to shabby yourself buddy, i definitely dig silver DA's with black mouldings. -DA Jellie-
Actually i just sold a 98 civic ex 4dr i bought for cheap to flip, so theoretically i could buy all my paint supplies now and hopefully have this thing painted in a couple months. cant wait to finally clip on my jdm thin side mouldings that took me 3 years to get my hands on.

*update*
took it out of storage yesterday finally started it since second week in november. took it out for one drive and remembered how much i hated it slammed to the ground. raised it up, took off the sportmaxs and threw on a set of advan RG REPS that i have. picked the car up about 2.5 inches all around. cleaned up some stuff that i left in there over the winter, and took it out for a beating. Man......i forgot how good this thing rips! went for a cruise, scared my girlfriend, and brought it back to the shop. put the lip on for fun with the car lifted up.
Soon i will be ordering new synchro-tech carbon coated synchros, new oem bearings and seals, and sending out the tranny case to be beauty-fied. on top of that i need to go through the suspension and brakes and update some things. want a new set of axles. need to buy modifry and speedo-healer. omg the list goes on, but since ive spoiled you guys with WAY to many pictures all at once in the beginning, i guess i have to maintain the flow.
thats all for now

Re: **Upstate NY DB1 B20vtec Build**
love the car man, never seen this build until today!
You mentioned powder coating the trans case? I would love to see that.
How hard was it to wire up the S2K cluster?

Re: **Upstate NY DB1 B20vtec Build**
I can't wait till I get out of California so that I can build a decent ride. If you can build a ride that passes smog then what is the problem that the engine comes from a "truck" or not?
It's ironically funny that a state that is famous for creating one of the largest communities of car modifiers has so many laws that make it so hard to. A business that generates so much revenue for a state that seems to hate it to the core.
