Default DB8 Build Thread.........For all the 4dr lovers!

So back in November my gf decided to buy a 1994 4dr teg. She had always liked the look of the 4drs over the 2dr teg. Her plan had always been to make a replica of the JDM Type R DB8. So we started working on the car right away. I should have made this thread back then but it has been a busy few months. She just made a user name but cannot post right away so I am doing it for here.

Anyways on to the pics
Opinions are always welcome

Here is her thread from a Canadian Integra Board:

November 7, 2006
I finally got my car last Friday, and the funny thing is, I've had a parts pile for it for the last 2 months.

Just a few teaser shots for you all, nothing elaborate......some of you who know me know what plans I have for my ride, and for those who don't know, you'll just have to wait and see my progress

Bought the car bone stock Friday, no wheels, $2500CDN. I didn't get a chance to take good pics of it, the first time I checked the car out and put down the deposit, it was really dark and raining. I quickly snapped some pics and here's what turned out:





Then on Friday when I went to pick up the car and put some ghetto steelies on (just for the time being), I forgot my camera so I didn't get a better picture of it in the daylight. .

Fast forward a few days (over the weekend) and this is what came out. .





Fogs on


HID's on


Four doors....grocery getter haha


Had to get rid of those blue emblems :eek:


New exhaust....can anyone guess what it is?



us asians don't waste anytime lol.........that's it for now, I'll keep you guys posted

Thanks for looking

November 10, 2006

Thanks to Aidan who took this pic with his camera phone lol



November 15, 2006

February 9, 2007

Got a whole bunch of JDM DB8 ITR parts in the past two weeks. Here are the pics

Needed a new rear bumper so got JDM ITR DB8 Rear bumper


DB8 trunk and DB8 ITR spoiler along w/ JDM rear tails

And here is everything found in my living room (some stuff Rehman's, and some mine )


I am planning on getting it painted in the next month or two, can anyone guess the colour??



March 14, 2007

Here is a pic of the rims going on the car after it is painted. Going from 4x100 to 4x114 JDM Type R wheels.


Rims are being repainted to match the fresh paint on the car

March 19, 2007

I'm so jealous of you....
Nice, very nice.

I'm thinking of doing a GSR automatic in the future for my wife since she love the front conversion.

if you don't mine me asking. what was the total cost of the build?
