No junk yards around? regardless i might have that, its really a 50/50 chance. when i stripped down my car i just kinda threw everything all over the garage, but if i got it you can have it.

ill check when i get home from work.....@oldskoolDA9

 

New to the forum. Picked this up early Sept.





'91 GS
b16a swap /ys1 transmission
ITR TB and intake mani.
DC header / HKS hi-power exhaust

Need to fix some simple things (seatbelts, mirror, headlights), and then move on to coating the stripped interior, building the motor, and cleaning up the bay.

 

and make sure you have good tires because you will lock up real quick. my brother did it just driving on some backroad with falken azenas.

 

mine is white gold. but i never wear it. being a plumber it would bend in no time. my buddy does cell towers and one time he was setting down a 250lbs cooling unti and it cought his ring on the corner. he had to have the hospital cut the ring out of his finger! just wear it around your neck or just when you are home.

i wish i would have gotten CF because i love the look of it. i have some chunks of a regamaster wheel i would donate to you if it can be melted down and made into a ring. i think its magnesium?

 

Platinum, hands down. Platinum not only looks better than white gold (White gold is actually a little yellowish but looks more white because it's usually rhodium plated. That plating wears off over time and needs to be redone. Platinum is sometimes rhodium plated as well, but it's natural color, while not as brilliant as rhodium is not yellow like white gold, if anything it's more towards the gray spectrum opposed to the yellow spectrum.) but it's also WAY more durable than gold. Plus, in the current market, you'd be absolutely stupid to buy gold. Due to speculators and people who somehow think that gold is a safe place to store their money (idiots) gold is at near record highs right now. It's intrinsic value is way, way, below what it's currently trading at. Platinum is elevated a little right now too, but only a little, especially when compared to gold. Historically, when there are not anomalous swings in price due to social/economic factors, the value of platinum has been higher than that of gold. But currently they are nearly equal, and gold may even be higher than platinum. Due to the current commodities and financial markets you'll end up paying a huge premium if you are buying gold jewelry, a premium I think is just not worth it when you can buy a better metal for the same price.

Plus, if you find a good jeweler you can have him forge your ring. Most jewelry you find at the crappy chain jewelry stores will be cast. Regardless of whether it's gold or platinum, if it's forged it'll be stronger than if it's cast. And platinum is easier to weld (can be done with a torch, opposed to gold which requires an expensive laser welder) which again will be stronger than if it's just soldered together.

 

I did notice the huge mark up on gold at the moment so that really turned me off of that but was thinking tungsten for a while until i felt the weight of gold again. I am really looking for something on the darker grey end. More like an aluminum shade but with a cleaner finish. I really want something that shines and looks smooth and the chain stores i have been to all have titanium but its all scratched up already and looks dull in comparison.

 

Thank you! He posted in my WTB thread on G2IC like a few hours after I posted it. I shot him an email, hopefully he still has a full A/C delete kit. Everything that he offers is what I need. Thank you again!


There are local junkyards, but all the DA's are fairly stripped. Plus the weather here in Seattle isn't too pretty, the junkyard and cars themselves are probably filled with water and mud. I've been waiting for a clear day to go check it out but I've grown impatient and I thought I'd ask the fellow G2 enthusiasts.

Any luck on finding it? I'm looking for the duct as well as the firewall plug and A/C delete switch. Let me know! PM me if you can or just reply. Thank you!

 

I admit I'm horribly spoiled (my father is a jeweler) and because of that I have always disliked the chain stores. There are probably some decent ones (probably smaller, local chains) but the majority of them sell absolute crap. But that doesn't matter as much when talking about a simple mens ring since inherently they will be less prone to damage and wear.

I don't really see aluminum being that much "darker" than white gold or platinum, especially if they aren't rhodium plated. And since you mention aluminum... why not just get an aluminum ring? Depending on the alloy, fabrication method, and how it's coated/treated it could be quite durable.

 

i just picked up another da to start my rhd project and the dash and everything is laying in the car so when i get around to it ill look it should still have it and anything else u need from the left hand dash set up

 

not mine:

 

Sry no luck.....but i did find some thing around the garage iv been looking for lol

 

buying ls webs atm. no tires. no i gotta wait for my cousin to get down to fl from nc. then register it.

 

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/2716673243.html yo guys buy my car lol super cheap

 

i wish i had the money. lol

 

I wish some1 would buy it lol I want it gone its hella clean and I love it but my number1 love is money haha

 

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

This car is perfect minus that ugly intake manifold. You'd think with an engine bay that looks all OEM (except the billet mounts and improperly mounted ground cable) you'd just use an OEM ITR manifold...

 

You all can check out more pics in my build thread if you like.

Intercooler cold side is DONE!



And hot side is almost done.....




KIDDING!!!

 

What do you mean improperly mounted ground cable? Chassis ground is chassis ground. You just mean as far OEM location?

 

Yes

 

skunk2 manifold is ugly?

 

can't put an itr manifold on a gsr head, donkey.
the ground is supposed to be for the cylinder head, not the valve cover. there is a rubber, non-conductive gasket between the valve cover and the cylinder head so there is no ground for the head when u just land that wire on the head cover. It is supposed to be on one of the studs so that the cylinder head itself and the sensors are grounded.

 

where did you pick this picture up at?


And i semi agree with everyone except i think the bay looks great with everything in it but if i went through all that trouble making it look stock i would have left the battery in there as well. Just such a suck an eye sore with that gaping hole in the middle of the bay.

 

I would love to pick this thing up but I'm guessing you from the west .. Heart breaker man.

 

look a lil closer...the battery is still there, just a lil lower than factory.


so i'm not picking up this other da now. rest easy herb, not flat black car now lol

 

He got the pictures from the Integra's Only thread on NWP which I posted. I had them saved on my computer from when the guy had originally posted them back in April or so. Here's his old post:
