My Snail Rebuild Integra DB8

[dgtalpunk]

hey bro.. i drive a DB8 too..

dont simply install Rear anti roll bar from Type R .. must replace the subframe like ASR..
else ur chasis koyak.. as for the front, no problem.

as for upgrading the bushes/rubbers.. i highly recommend it.. i'm using HardRace..
all 22 pcs for the suspension, chasis, excluding engine mounts.
> it corrected my rear Positive chamber.. (replaced the trailing arm bush), and increased the ride height (17" rims 215/45 tyre rubbing the fender wall) little bit.. etc.

as for UR bars.. i ordered all! (except fender bars coz of custom skirt touching the fender).. only able to install 4 point in rear trunk (required 2 drill n bolt - left n right to the bottom, and 2 bolt on straight on the absorbers), and rear lower strut bar.
as for the front, the 3 Point bar cant fit as it was obstructed by the firewall. WTF??
Front lower cant fit as the holes on it was 1 cm shorter..

The asr isnt a subframe replacement...its a brace...u add it on to ur current subframe...

As for the subframe tearing, as far as i know that only happens to civics due to the thin sheet metal used...especially to EKs it seems...even the EGs are suposedly more resistant to tear compared to EKs

Never heard of integras having the subframe tear issues, coz if not mistaken the subframe on integras are thicker n stronger

I do seem to recall reading about Integras with torn subframes after installing Type R's arb, somewhere in HT if I'm not mistaken

Thanks for the tips and advice bro. But from what I remember, only EK subframes are prone to tear. Might be wrong. Bro, how much for the Hard Race bushes and installation?? Custom skirting on DB8? How it looks like bro? Care to post here?

My time? My time was only a few months ago la bro. If you start now, not much of a difference. Those who played VTEC in the early 2000's probably enjoyed the cheaper price for parts. Not me. Huhu.

i played VTEC during that time and im playing VTEC now oso... n lemme tell u... its cheaper now.

plus u get ALOT more parts availability and parts variety compared to back then....


eg... last time wanna find traction bar for EF was impossible..now.. sunway ada maaaaa

brand new adjustables for EF...not even GAB had it... now... GAB HA ada maaaa...


skunk2? that time most malaysians never even heard of the brand yet :P

 

[ddv_nk12]

Hahaha. I thought it would be cheaper back then.

 

[mADmAN]

naaah...back then expensive and very hard to get parts... these days parts are easily available....so more competition la me thinks... hence the cheaper price..

back then hondata oso was very rare here... n if have oso.. it was about 4k+ iirc.... now... 2.5k siap pasang siap tune :P

 

[ddv_nk12]

True...

 

[ddv_nk12]

I am thinking of getting the Integra Type R decals. Mine is not a Type R. So, not too sure if I should get it. What do you think. Feeling bored not doing anything for the car so long. Hehe.

Something like this..

 

[pwhyze]

Go for it! It'll complete the look, you already have the red H emblems what..Btw,mane mau cari the decals locally ah?

 

[ddv_nk12]

Custom made. I managed to get a guy to do it for me. Gave him the dimensions and all. It's just whether I want or or not now. Hehe.
Do you want it as well? Anyone else?? I can try to get a better price. Haha.

The reason I ask whether to get the decals or not because I don't want to be another ricer. lol

 

[pwhyze]

Haha, nice quality? Got pics? I'm interested!
As for the ricer thing, well if you ask m the car looks a bit 'empty' without it, just don't go spraying your hood black and put brembo caliper covers dah la..

 

[ddv_nk12]

That guy said he can do exactly the same as the one shown in my earlier post. OEM dimension, colours and font. The actual one not done yet.

I also feel the car is too clean and bored to look at. With the decals, I believe it would be better. You have a DC2?

 

[pwhyze]

Yeah bro, old dc2 only..huhu...mine needs replacing, the sticker buruk oredi
