You have a nice build there. I wish I could build just like you but I only want to do an exterior thing with RHD.

 

thank you kind sir. I thought about rhd but NYC cops are sooo crazy right now, I can't deal with any headaches

In the flip side I picked up Jdm db8 window visors today 😊 Can't wait to get this car done and running

 

Finally got around to doing some stuff yesterday, swapped the ds smashed up door with a red maroonish donor door and got my control arms and tie bar up. Doesn't sound like much but I'm glad to get these things done as I needed help from my bro Bc I was stuck lol A impact gun goes along way to getting things done!! Lol

 

Also I have had the gunmetal 15 itrs for a while. I test fitted it and honestly I like the 15's over the Jdm 16's soooo much more

 

So today i found a local sedan part out and the guy had these mats for sale i offered him 20$ and he took it. Also got a usdm type r shifter console and armrest for 100$ Arm rest is kinda beat but my brother wanted it sooo badly that i just gave it to him and he was happy lol But anyone know what mats these are from? Never seen em before but they fit perfect in my sedan. I’ll clean em up soon and eventually touch up the red on the integra stitching

 

400$ later... ��. Lol new bushing kit and all new gsr carbon plated synchros for my transmission. I’m officially broke for a while lol

 

I know the feeling of being broke.

 

and of course when you are broke u find the best deals, a guy my bro did Buis with for his bmw last night happens to have type r mats for 100 and they are mynt!!! Lol. Ima have to sell some of my spare parts or dip into my savings.. smh. Hate that lol

 

What is the point of a tie bar versus an ASR subframe brace/sway bar combo?

 

i could be wrong on this, BUT i would think having a sway bar would actually be better but since my car didn’t come with one from the prior owner i had the tie bar so i used it. I thought the tie bar tightens up the suspension and i think the asr hangs too low for me. Plus i never liked that look myself I could be wrong on that completely but i had a 2000 Si and had the tie bar and lca only and i thought my car handled fine Idk honestly

 

Beaks bars are the ones that hang low. An ASR Subframe brace is just a plate that goes on top of the factory subframe that allows for mounting thicker sway bars than factory, without the risk of tearing the factory subframe. I could be wrong, but I don't see much point in the tie bar, especially without any sway bar, let alone even a factory sway bar.

 

at this point, it’s just for looks. I’ll eventually locate a stock strut bar or get a suspension technique kit for the car once i have the rest of my suspension and camber and bushings kits dialed in

 

Sooo what do you guys think about the 17 inch Tsx a specs on the Db8? Lol Just put em on to move the car around. I’m currently deceiding on redoing my itr wheels now or waiting until after i paint the car. (My wheels we’re bought redone horribly by their prior owner) Since car won’t be painted for prob another year minimal I’m thinking i should wait. Idk

 

A lil before
And after action this Christmas Eve

 

Progress

 

You're going to have to zip tie the cover to the USDM window switches.

 

 

Yes, you need to do that and the front drivers side window switch opening to allow for the auto down feature.

Looks Amazing!! Definitely going to keep up with this build!
