My 95' DB6 Integra Daily Build

[xAaron]

Hi all, the name is Aaron.

I've had the car about a month now (don't have any pics of when I bought it sorry)

Bought it stock standard with 175,000 k's on its 1.6L SOHC Non-VTEC ZC engine (slow bugger)

Within the first week I got some 2" lowering springs on stock struts and chucked them in. Put on some beauty rings and gold bullet valve caps.



After about a week of having it at this height, I wanted more low. So I got myself some lowering springs and stock struts from an EF Civic (as the EF struts are 1" shorter than the DB struts)

Installed them, and got my front tires tucking which is good.





But unfortunately it took it a bit too low. Driving on the flat it would drag the mudflaps along, which I didn't mind, however the tire was also so far up into the guard that it was taking chunks out of the tire.

So I raised her back up with the DB lowering bits and that it how she sits now.

Interior wise it was quite tidy, did need a bit of a vacuum is all.

Took the seat covers out of my old car and chucked them on.

Came up with the idea to cover a section of the door cards with sugar skull patterned fabic, and also did the center arm rest.





Pick up a front lip for $40 and gave it a quick test fit.





I reckon it looks alright, needs a lick of paint though, hopefully I can get it attached this weekend.

So, plans:

Decide on some wheels, either 15x7 or 15x8 D-Window steels in White or some sort of mesh wheels
Nardi or wood grain steering wheel
More low (possibly coilovers)
Drag flaps

Lookin' good bro! You're off to a nice clean start with your teggy.

Coilovers for sure. Put her on the ground. And some low-offset Diamond steelies would look bomb in white. So go for it.

Cheers mate, loving your ED also.

Been having a good search for some White D-Windows her in NZ, seems to be more difficult than expected. Might have to get some black ones and paint 'em.

Cheers mate.

So today I got working on the front lip, it did have a hefty crack in it, and was a little to wide, but I got around that with the handsaw

A few pics from today:

Went for a drive through Albany Track Road and spotted a nice old shed for a photoshoot:

And hopefully these will come in handy later on:

I've lined some some BMW Technocast wheels for the time being:



Same style but all silver, but I'll most likely paint the spokes white and polish the lip (or all white, we'll see)

15x7 +24 Offset which should fill the guards nicely.

*Oh if anyone is wondering, I'm using the Canon 1100D for these photos. I can only get it out on the weekends. Its a suprisingly nice camera for the price*

[xAaron]

Went and test fitted the Technoforms today aswell.

Forgot to get a better angled picture, but they fit snug inside the guard, but I will need to roll the guards for sure.

While I was out there I got a free set of 195/50/15's too!

Another little mod I did today, probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it.

[xAaron]

Hopefully today. Im picking up the Technocast wheels sometime today so hopefully I can get a better shot with them on.

Nice start. I like the inserts and arm rest but you lost me on the seat covers!

Cheers, but they're soo comfy!

Apoligies for the lack of updates, haven't done a whole lot to the car, will next week I'll have a nice wheel update for y'all.

So a couple things I have done:

Removed the front lip and tinted the indicators Orange (not everyones thing, but I like it):

Next week I'll have the new tires fitted and success.

[Evilist]

where did you get the paint for the indicators dude? been looking for some for ages now cant find it anywhere

[xAaron]

Hey mate, I used headlight tint film from TradeMe to do the indicators, couldn't find paint anywhere like yourself.

[xAaron]

Yay! New wheels and tyres!
