I hear ya, the little **** piles up. Get the toe good and enjoy the ride. I wish the rack at work had better clearance so I could do the alignment myself.

What are you rolling with now. Last I remember it was a B16 turbo, then I think you went NA B16 again, right?

Post some new pics of the setup, I want to see!

I'll be getting some OEM parts soon for Christmas. I'm sure I'm more excited then my DA.

 

No sir, haven't had a B16 in about 7 years or so.
It was an all motor LsVtec like 4 years ago, then turbo built for another year.
Now turbo setup for like 2 years.
Built LsVtec with 61mm turbo now:

 

Paint looks good, digging the color. Bodywork does suck and I'm not looking forward to doing mine but can't wait til I repaint it.

 

Oh wow Matt u make me feel old as ****. Has it really been that long since u had the b16? Time goes by too fast.

I do recall you running the LS/V now that u mention it. Great numbers buddy graph looks like it pulls right to the top.

Your running a similar setup as me so this looks promising.

 

I ordered the ASR rear subframe brace/rear 24mm sway bar combo as well as Function7 Version 3 billet lower control arms.

I installed my A/C delete kit (heater duct, firewall plug, dash switch) the other night and I'm working on a little something something on the side. Other than the JDM bumper cover and lightweight front bumper support, bumper lens and license plate delete plugs, everything else is brand new from Honda. Bolts, seals, stays, etc. The lip is currently in the works, but when it's back they'll both go to paint.



BTW: I strongly dislike the 92-93 front end though, so this bumper/lip setup will only be for show. My heart resides with the USRacing lip. Haha.

 

...i agreed. 90-91 front bumper FTW

 

Thanks guys, soon ill have a nice DA to show off like the rest of you....


@MATTB16: How did you go about mounting your intercooler?weld some tabs or something? any pics of it mounted? i would like to get mine mounted asap.

 

You painted your teg in your garage, did you make a temporary booth and what did you use to filter the the overspray?

 

Yeah, in that little 10x15 cluttered area. I guess the garage acted as my booth, just cracked the garage door open about 2 feet with some fans facing out. Dust was to a minimum, nothing a wetsand and polish cant fix. My neighbors dident seem to mind the painting and some actually stopped to tell me how much they like the color, they seem to like my little project i got goin on ha. EPA

do you mean filter overspray from the compressor? my compressor has a filter on it but it would be better if i could have moved it outside. Or did you mean overspray landing on stuff in the garage? Cause yes its everywhere lol

 

I was wondering about it getting over everything lol, i will probably be doing the same in a few months when it gets a little warmer. I've never painted a car that wasn't in a booth but the garage that i will be using isn't attached to a house. did you wet the floor before you sprayed?

 

Nope, no wetting of the floor just a good sweep. I thought about it but dident want to risk splashing. will you be painting it the same color?

 

i would suggest actually making a booth within the garage, hanging sheets or tarps around the perimeter of the car. I've read alot of mixed reviews with wetting the floor some saying its bad because its causes too much moisture in the air, some saying to do it to hold down the dust, i would say wet the ground then squeegee it so theres no standing water that can splash up

 

Yeah i'm keeping the original blade silver, the color is the reason i bought the car lol. I would do it to keep the dust down but i wouldn't completely drench it, just enough so it is a little wet. I am gonna make a temp both

 

sounds like it shouldnt be a problem then, interested to see how the paint job comes out

 

Soooo does anybody know where i can find a DIY to mount my intercooler? i see pics of intercoolers on DAs but not HOW there mounted???

 

Yea it's easy! Most Intercoolers come with generic mounting hardware. I just made a little bracket and mounted it to the frame.

It's not too bad.

 

New photo of my baby

 

You did it with no welding of any sort? guess ill be at wondering around home depot for a while lol

 

you can grind pieces of steel and then place in a vice to bend and drill the braket desired.

 

Yup u can depending on your intercooler size and year of bumper. Plus some don't run a bumper support, not really recommended. I cut and welded my bumper support to make mine fit.

Ur best bet is to get the bumper skin off the support and see what will work and not.

 

really nice green da

 

awesome pic

 

 

x2 I too have a 90-91 front bumper. I had the 92-93 front bumper, but I didn't like em. I DO have a 92-93 rear bumper to go with my 90-91 LOLLL! Just barely got my teg primered

 

i dont think there is a difference in rear bumpers. i could be wrong tho. but pretty sure they are the same.
