Indeed. But I get up for work at ~5:30, get off work a little after 10, and I'm normally in class from 12pm-4pm but we got out early today. I'm half messing around on honda-tech and half messing around with a presentation I have to do on a Jack-the-Ripper suspect for this Maymester class.

One class crammed into 2 weeks.

CHAMPION, horrible schedule...but you gotta do what you gotta do.

No matter what don't follow my path...get that damn edu-ma-cation man. Almost 30, if mortgage goes downhill I'll be screwed, w/no education to fall back on.

Much props for your daily schedule...keep it up brother.

Time flies when you're busy. Just a year left to graduate.

Thanks!!

Wave two, items here:


-Rear trunk Emblem
-Front Endlinks
-ES Bushings (Front Sway Bar)
-Short Shifter
-Beaks Kit
-Exedy OEM Daikin Clutch.

And....


-'98 Spec JDM ITR 25mm Front Sway Bar (to tighten up the suspension a bit, a little more neutral handling when paired w/the 22mm ITR Rear Sway)

PreyStayShun

OEM "style" GSR/ITR Rear Endlinks




All the OEM ITR rear sway bar items should be here tomorrow.


*FRIENDLY HEADS UP* If your in a bind and need parts quick, I wouldn't necessarily reccomend acurapartswarehouse, I orderd on the 13th. If you can afford to buy some time and your looking for good prices...then they're decent. Good customer service. 22mm Rear Bar only $70+shipping.

Keep up the work buddy! When you snag some carpet, snag me one in black

PreyStayShun

Thanks bud!

Re: Carpet. No kidding right? I actually had to settle for some nasty condition used grey carpet. After a shampoo I'm gonna throw it in a trash can w/some sat and RIT and die it black. I was going to buy one of those "pre-formed" carpets but its just such a pain in the ***...its not as "pre-formed" as they say it is. HAHA

PreyStayShun

Word of the day: OEM









Car, and the rest of the items I've bought over the last couple weeks are going to the shop tomorrow. Getting everything done in one stop since the car has to go in for 3-5 synchros, clutch, and flywheel. PS and AC also go back in! Hooray for cold air.

look nice

I was just thinking how you said you don't like aftermarket lca's, and I've read the the itr lca's are supposed to be better than stock-(non itr) and they're oem. Just throwing it out there since you already have different itr parts on your car.

creed86

nice build. I have similar plans for my suspension set up on my DC2. I'm going with ITR shocks/springs. (just need the damn LCA's) Where did you order the beak kit from?

honda250r&crx

I just saw a set of itr LCA's at jdmunlimited and I think I've seen them on pwjdm also.

PreyStayShun

^Thanks man!

^This was one of my initial choices. After a ton of thinking i ended up going w/the Eibach setup. If you really think about it, it makes most sense. The ITR setup shocks/springs is gonna be around $200+shipping (so round $40) then you've gotta buy the LCA's $50+Shipping... At the end of the day if you really think about it, if your willing to pay another $100 you can get BRAND NEW springs/struts for less then $100 more then you were already willing to pay. The shocks will have two year warranty, and the springs will have a million mile warranty. If you go for the Koni Str.Ts those will have a lifetime warranty. Essentially...for around $400 you can gaurantee great suspension for the life of your car. Just food for thought my man!

PS- Beaks kit was $75 shipped from vexmotorsports on eBay.

^Unfortunately the difference in ITR/LS/GSR LCA's is negligible so I'll stay w/the stock LCA's as plenty of people use them on track and autox scenarios. A lot of people seem to discredit LCA's when the OEM LCA's from the Integra LS/GS/RS/GSR's are great, don't let the negative reading fool you. Plus she's a daily driver as well. The only thing I'll do LCA-wise is ES bushings for the LCA's...then she'll be great.



Thanks for all the love guys.

Okay, some more stuff ordered today. Used DB carpet is on the way...I'll die it black.

Stock Airbox is here (thanks Finnish_EK_Race)


Stock Air Filter, and my heina's whip; Volvo C30 T5 (GNARLY 'lil car)



I'm having carpet dilemma, DB carpet is not easy to find, I know DC carpet will work in the front. But I hear and read the rear DC2 carpet wont work... anyone have a pictures of dc2 rear carpets in their DB they want to post for me by chance? I'm interested to see how it fits...

If that does't work I'll use ruber-ized rear floor mats for the kids.

CF_EM1

I started reading your buid thread from seeing infected post something about it in the db thread anyways I tend to get super lucky finding db stuff and I will try and land you clean 4dr carpet I highly doubt Ill find the infamous dark grey/black but I may be able to get the light grey

PreyStayShun

If you can find anything just let me know man...I need speaker grills for the driver doors and rear deck, etc...lots lof plastics is what I'm missing. I almost wish the car needed exterior work at this point. The interior items are killing me bro.

PreyStayShun

I ordered the floor mats today, they're dc floormats so I know the rears will be a little too large, however the fronts should work just fine from what I've been reading. *crosses fingers* Thats fronts are my biggest concern, and I'll probably ditch the 5th carpet. Something sexy about Berber carpet though.

The OEM DB Grey Carpet got here today. In the condition I expected, I'm going to put it through some RIT. Thanks to DBiNfEcTeD for the hints about doing the carpet properly. And thanks to CF_EM1 for offering a helping hand, in my never ending search for parts.




***I've got a fever right now, and the only prescription is MORE CAR PARTS.***

NOTES: H-Brace wouldn't work, was hitting the STOCK exhaust...and could not be installed on my DB7. The eGay shifter, was for a b16 tranny...so that was a bust. I also had to ditch the lower tie bar, I'll have to go w/a beaks...The bwr tie bar wouldn't work w/this setup, sway bar is too beefy. Everything else went as planned and worked appropriately.

Felt like I was taken a bit but some good friends have put this perspective into light for me, and when I think about it the total cost seems pretty fair. I'll pick up the car after I go on vacation this week. F-in crazy the things we do for our Honda's, I swear.

Snagged up these from a fellow HT Member today (THANKS CW-ITR):


Didn't plan on getting these anytime soon, but I couldn't pass 'em up. OEM BNIB, YAY!

PreyStayShun

1/2" Aluminum Spacer and 4" bolt, in hopes I can mount my BWR Tiebar w/the 22mm ITR Rear Sway.



Fake Mugen Pedals (Lame, I know...but you can't go wrong for $25, and they're actually REALLY nice...very grippy):

PreyStayShun

Floor Mats came while I was on vacation. Bonus.

*Rears will definitely be too large, but I'm going to use an all weather rubber mat in the rears so the kids can tromp around w/out me being paranoid.*

PreyStayShun

Needed a new drivers side window switch, so I ordered the DB8 JDM ITR Window switch today...$hit, I hope it works...was cheaper then all of the OEM ones I could find in used condition:

CF_EM1

hope those switches work for ya I have thought about buying them a lot but never have pulled the trigger because Im wierd about how things fit

PreyStayShun

I'm a wreck about it, there was 3 different switches to choose from.

I've seen these installed appropriately in USDM driver side doors but I'm worried about the plug configuration. Like pins and such. Its a total gamble to be honest, but I'll let you know if it works out okay. I'm not necessarily gunning on this one. Just rolling the dice I'd say...

Wat site did you order the pedals from
