SBK's 1992 DB2

I purchased this DB2 almost a year ago. I figured I would put together this build thread to keep track of its progress through the years, plus it gives me an open forum to post pics of this beauty. I will be updating the sections where it has XXXXX soon.

Short story: I've owned quite a few modified cars in the past. I started modifying cars back in 1993/1994; I even attended the first Import Showoff lol (Damn now I feel really old). Some of the Honda's I've modified within the past 8 years:

1. 1995 Integra RS (always regretted selling this car. My wife's family were the first owners). It had some nice mods such as a Greddy turbo kit, Koni/GC combo, ASR w/ ITR rear sway, ITR interior, etc. Just an overall nice daily.




2. 1993 Civic Si - This was built as a track car. Ran great, very quick, handling was excellent. Mods included 96' ITR motor and transmission, BC Spec II, Tein Flex coilovers, Autopower rollbar, 5 lug, TE37's, etc. I miss this car but was always scared to drive it on the street due to cops.

Always loved the car when it was on slips...


Getting cornerweighted & balanced and aligned at Westend...

Ok enough EG pics...this is a DB2 thread right?! ha!

3. 2003 RSX Type S - This car didn't really excite me too much. Great daily driver but...blah. It had some good mods such as Hondata, Comptech header, Greddy exhaust, 5Zigen rims, etc. I don't miss it at all.



Then I went through a period of trying out other makes such as a Subaru WRX, Lexus GS400 (sold it to my in-laws), Miata M-Edition, and other cars not worth mentioning. I tried to stay away with modifying cars and keeping them stock but I got bit by the Honda bug once again. This time I decided to go old school. The choices were 1990-1991 Civic Si's, CRX Si's, or DA/DB2's. I took my time finding a clean example. After a year and a half, I finally found what I would consider a "clean" DB2. Although I am the 4th owner, this Db2 came with "stuff" that one owner cars would have.

Racing Hart Cyber's - Tires are too big but they have a lot of tread life remaining so I don't want to get rid of them just yet. I figured I'll keep these wheels as spares. I got the wheels with tires at a price too good to be true, and the guy was LOCAL! The wheels are in decent shape; no bends, just a few curb rashes.

I really don't have that many plans for the car. Early next year, I plan on getting tires on the Gale's I just bought and will do another photo shoot. I do want an autopower roll bar but I'm still not sure I want to cut up the rear panels for it to fit. The majority of my mods will focus more on the suspension. I will probably get Koni/GC's or Tein Flex's, ASR and a thicker rear sway bar. I also want to get a better flowing header and maybe a traction bar set up so I can get a nice header to fit instead of the typical DC 2 piece header design. Right now I really enjoy the car. I can drive it daily if I wanted to but I have Scion XB as my daily. The car passed smog easily and I don't get paranoid if cops drive by me. I've taken it on quite a few canyon runs. It handles just OK for now. Overall its a great car and I'm definitely looking forward to keeping this for a long time. Thanks for stopping by!
