Got some more things for the DB, named her Lexi, to make her run better!

Buddy of mines, erikktos BNB member#2, works at car quest and got me a few things.

-Battery
-Dizzy cap
-Dizzy rotor
-spark plugs
-spark plug wires






The car is going to sit as is for a while. most update are going to be maintenance work. Motor has 196xxx miles but runs strong. Once the motor gives out im planning on doing a LSV turbo build or just go stock b20V. Havent decided just yet. Will keep you guys posted!

i've put a lot of work into my RSX...bought it lowered on crappy *** springs and a fart can, trashed interior to CEL's and running like crap. Couple years later it runs beautiful, did a full black interior swap, threw on buddy club n+ coilovers and camber kit, 18' wheels, painted headlight housings, friend airbrushed my valve cover, HIDs, limo tint and so on. all done by MYSELF. pics to prove

Day i got it




ALL CLEAN!




AND NOW HOW SHE SITS

That's a nice vc. keep up the good work on the car.

It's always nice to see a junk turned into something to admire.

Worked on the DB today,

- Replaced thermostat
- Got a/c to work
- Wink mirror
- add blind spot mirror to side side mirrors

It was pretty funny when i replaced the thermostat. The car was overheating when i was driving home from work and i had already flush the coolant and checked the fan. So i figured the only other thing was the thermostat. When i pulled out the neck, to my surprise there was NO thermostat at all. Threw the new one in and some how my ac started working.

Hopefully it stays that way.

Anyone running the BWR header for a B-series? Thinking about picking one up or just going for a skunk2 alpha.
