UPDATES for my DB2 and DA

Marble · Post by **Marble** » March 02, 2005

Thanks for all the compliments...and constructive criticism.

Sorry to hear that some don't like the Aztec Green Pearl (which btw there is a big difference between the "teal")...and she is getting the same, just a fresh coat. It's a rare color, only 400 2nd gen GS-R's wore this color, so I want to keep that original.

As far as the valve cover...LOL! That's how I bought it, it's stock, stripped of the black, and it's just stained. But I do agree that the beige is nice. I think that I am going to paint it black though, along with the AEM, and getting a header that's black as well.

The DA is not getting paint, the body is pretty straight, and it's already been repainted.

Seems either I didn't post the other pics of the DA...or they were edited? Maybe I was just too tired...so here a few more shots :

Now with the dash...and correspnding pieces-

$20 for the seat, filling in until I get the cage, harness and racing seat-

Something to help with the shifts...and it was FREE-

Installed these last week, got them for less than $600, Ground Control's and Koni Yellow's-

The shoes she came with, but I am going to rock them on the DB2 for a couple of weeks-

She came with these as well-

And here is the new radiator and fan assembly-

As for the DB2 when she gets back from body and paint, she will have JDM side moldings, one piece head lights, GC's as well, JDM side markers, JDM H emblems and the JDM DOHC VTEC badge on the rear hatch glass.

BTW did I mention the DB2 doesn't even have 54K ORIGINAL miles!!! And I bought her for just under $4K. I really shopped for both of these cars...and I got really lucky.

More pics to come of the DB2 when she gets back from paint, and once I have the DA up and running I will get more pics.

Thanks again!

Yeah...I wish I would have taken pics the day that I bought her. I mean really, Oh well.

I will keep you guys updated as things progress.

Just picked up partial sponsorship for the DA, so hopefully things will fall into place a little sooner.

Well thought I would throw in a teaser post about the GS-R...

...I pick her up tomorrow...or Saturday morning! WOOT!

The Buddy Club's will be going on her, but 3 of the rims were scratched by the company that put the new tires on, and they are replacing them with a brand new set. They are on back order until next week...but it's all good. So I will prolly not have the GS-R out on the road for another week and a half. No rush for me.

I will post pics up tomorrow night.

As far as the DA, she is on the back burner still so I haven't had much time for her. But it's ok, she knows she still has a piece of my heart, and that her time is coming.
