Re: Project DB1 restoring DD
they said its the right mount so im gonna man handle it tomorow with my buddy Big C
didnt get the mounts done today didnt have a second pair of hands so figured id get the cables connected to the pedals.... the clutch cable is to short i hooked it to the pedal inside and there was no slack in the line to even adjust it, is there a difference between the 92-93 cables to 90-91 mine was messed up so pulled the one off the 90 parts DA
painted my bat tray and support. the mounting bolts were rusty as Fk so i blasted them very clean now

Re: Project DB1 restoring DD

New Oil filter and Oil its ready to go just need belts and a Battery
Befor
During
blasted
Painted
I also liked how my "Spoots Intake" i made when i was in high school sounded so i made another one lol spoots is my last name backwards its a inside joke with me and my friends
We are gonna mod the hood so it will fit
Lol jk
Started with the stock lower piece removed the lower chamber
Cut it out
Cut my PCV pipe to length i wanted used electrical tape to make a seal i know ghetto but it works really great
Big Sexy modeling the "Spoots Intake"(AKA Big C)
Now to plug up the other hole i used more tape and a piece off one of my BK crowns
First layer
The crown piece
Sealed

That intake is purty cool! I just pulled off the resonator and that seems to have worked well, as least as far as the way the motor sounds.
