thanks again for looking, that is all i have for now....

 

thanks! the Kosei's are actually silver, i know they look lighter in the pics but i do want to powder coat them eventually lol

 

Looks awesome man, it may not pull like the DC5 but I bet it still pulls pretty hard.

 

Looks good

 

a good bit harder than it has for the past year being restricted lol

will pull a lot harder with the future mods too
thank you!

 

Yeah man soon It will pull harder then your old DC5 and nice build with the DAs digging the K1s too.

 

yes soon it will pull harder...thank you for the kind words.

 

What are the future mods you have planned?

 

Anytime dude your building a DA which I love more then any other chassis, I'm building one myself a shell very slowly don't have good funds yet lol but soon I hope. Also half of those parts you have in those pics are the parts I've been wanting to get for my DA for sometime now but i guess I'll have 2 find some different parts now except the traction bar from Innovative mounts!! really good price to get 1. Besides another dude from PA like me and a cool friend of mine building a DA I'll give 2

 

Just read your post Kev and realized this guy is from Pa too. Where is mechanicsburg exactly? I have heard of it.

 

lol thank you again...i have to say when i first got this car i hated it, the suspension was dropped way too low for pa roads, the motor was restricted so bad, its was just a straight up JDM GSR swap done by the previous owner, axles weren't changed, still had ls header, stock mounts, stock exhaust piping with a cherry bomb for a muffler lol...shitty advanced auto dizzy...the climate controls didn't work, barely had heat the first winter i had it, only one speaker worked...it was a nightmare to say the least but i am glad that the year of saving for parts was well worth it from where i started to where it is now.
Mechanicsburg is located between Harrisburg and Carlisle, bout an 1 1/2 from philly on the turnpike

 

Nice another dude into DAs like us Ken in PA, SWEET lol also he lives close to us I live in hazleton, pa close to nanticoke where LCCC campus is if u know? and dam that DA was a devils wear prada when u 1st got it sexy in the outside a nightmare in the inside! but nice build, I know I will be saving 4 those parts as well but not a year maybe half. Also I always take the turnpike the penna turn turnpike right I take that 2 go see dirtyda9 in philly, philly is a hour from me lol.

 

Maybe we will get a nice DA cruise to honda day or IA 2012 lol

 

Word the 3 of us with our sexy a$$ DAs I'll be the only one in the group tho with no vtec got 2 have the crower 402s my DA shell is my first project and a lil new 2 Hondas still so work with me lol I get 2 excited.

 

Oh yeah true about it being too low when u first got it, u know when your in PA with all the messed up streets and highways from all the bad, wicked snow and ice storms we get here. I have a big manhole on my block I have 2 evade all the time when i drive my friends Hondas cause penndot is 2 cheap 2 fix it.

 

Yea Pa's roads are the worst, I would rather drive in Kenya hahaha

 

i have updated the first post with my plans but ill list them here for you too

plans for the future;
ksport 36 way adjustable full body coils
ksport LCA's
possible b20 bottom end, bored to 85mm with 12.5:1
ID725's(already have, just not installed)
aeromotive 340lph fuel pump(already have, just not installed)
dual map tune, one on 93 pump gas, one on e85 for the track
supertech VT
skunk2 pro 2's or 3's
50-75 direct port shot
new gas tank
battery relocation to the truck with cut off switch
exospeed VPD 13X8, 23.5 slicks

not exactly sure where that is lol, but an hour or 1 1/2 hours isnt bad if we can find a decent spot for a meet?
would love to go to IA, a few of us have been trying to go for years around here, the scene is a decent size out this way...

the only thing i dislike about my car as it sits right now is the damage i have on the passenger side behind the front wheel, i need a new door, new fender and some cut out and replaced with new aluminum...but that can wait til i get a new car within the next two years and the DA is taken off the road for major cosmetic repair...it will look brand new once all the body work and new paint is applied lol

 

Damn you got some nice plans for this thing. It's gonna be nasty. How bad is the passenger side damage?

I'm not even sure where IA is? lol

 

its not too bad but i look at it everyday and it annoys me lol...ill take some better pictures of it later today and post them...i need new cut outs for the rear quarters too...do you know of any place that sells them?

i believe the location of IA east coast changes each year to a different venue...i wouldnt mind rolling to honda day either.

 

as soon as i saw the horizon gray, i already started liking the car lol. sucks to hear about the damage, i have a hg da as well. is yours original or was it painted? it looks a bit darker than mines in your pictures.

heres a old pic of mine from this past honda day in april

 

that looks a lot better than my paint, it was repainted by the previous owner by someone who doesnt know how to paint well, there are runs in a few spots and it has a bluish tint to it, but it will be put back to the original color or a dark metallic gray when i paint it

also been thinking about switching back to the usdm headlights, if i can source them lol, too make a vent to the velocity stak on my intake through the headlight hole....my jdm ones need polished and the light leveling adjuster is broken so my headlights point down, visibility is tough sometimes lol...or switching to the 91' front bumper and adding rectangle fogs for more visibility
