So the only DB2 I've ever had my hands on and I had to gut it. But I'm glad to have a piece of history nonetheless. I picked up another Aztec Green Pearl GS/LS (not sure really) that a kid snapped the timing belt on. Picked it up for $600, has plenty of good parts in it already and a very mint...

GS-R interior installed How she sits now, minus a set of snow tires on rims and a winter back drop! On to my gem!! I found this written off DB2 my last week of college and brought it home with me with minimal knowledge and far too many wrong ideas with what to do with it...

Sold the Tenzo R's. Bought both for $80, sold for $500. And that was a day on that car. Sold it for $1500, made $500 for seats. Bought for $200, $250 for the donor LS car, about $500 for bearings, clutch, fluids, etc. Not a bad turn around. Donor on it's way to the crusher. This was...

I love my engine long time! Here's the inside of the block with a nice hole in it. Looks like she spun a bearing and lost a piston, then took out another piston. Yikes. On to install! So that was it for about 2 months. Then decided to get some...

Finally! Gosh, I never get a chance to get to these things I start! If you still have dial up, hold on.... I'll start off with the RS I had originally intended to build and drop this thing in to: Pulled a very nasty blue interior out and swapped in a full...

Well, didn't I just fall off the face of the earth. Work, women and life have taken me away from a vehicle I love for far too long. But with a career change, disposable income, and a lady with a mechanical aptitude and plenty of ambition, I have been able to focus on my beloved Integras again. I...

Started out as watching Dad tinkering in the garage, picking up stuff here and there. Then I realized, holy shit I like this! So I started doing small stuff myself, then, BAM! Fucking epiphany. I can get paid to work on cars and actually enjoy going to work. So I applied for a course called...

To clarify, 16" of Hg to 0" when revved is the sign of a plugged cat or exhaust, normal at idle is between 18" and 22" and about 22" at 2000 rpm. Good luck.

A burnt valve is from carbon build up on the back of the valve head causing overheating to the point it melts or "burns" the valve material away. The guides were probably replaced just because of wear, so it was most likely eating some oil. But it he burnt a valve, likely wasn't taking care of...

You'r going to retrofit the B17 into your '99? I'd look at the B18c1 or B18c5 before the b17.

Fi is forced induction.

New bearings, all the fasteners, gaskets etc. What shape are the cams, valves in?

Nope, I'm all the way up in Alberta, Canada good sir. Craigslist is only big in Vancouver and Toronto in the GWN. I went on Kijiji looking for guitar stuff and took a peek at the Integra ads, seen it, and immediately had to have it.

Maybe, I'm a hoarder when it comes to cars ha ha. I know why you're excited ;). Dd the guy who bough yours blow it up yet? I wish, unfortunately this darling of an automobile won't see the road ever again. Any unibody damage to our generation is usually the all-damning write off, and...

The ticking might be the valve train, these engines should tick a little though. A quiet Honda engine needs adjusting. A backpressure issue might be it. Test it with a vacuum gauge off of the intake manifold or brake booster. It should read around 16" of HG and drop to nearly 0" when you try to...

So the stars aligned and the Car God's have bestowed upon me the holy grail of the second gens, the lovely b17a1. A 1992 GS-R had to get totaled for me to get such luck, which is unfortunate, but I'll take it. Picking up the whole car for $400. Not too shabby. I'll be pulling the b17 and pulling...

Sounds more like just excessive clearance on the main bearings. Still, check like Jobot said, you'd find out either way. Use a master gauge to test the oil pressure with the car in gear, handbrake on and brakes depressed and bring the rpm up to about fifteen hundred. If the oil pressure is low...

Could be your caliper pistons seized. As the brake pads wear, the pistons sit out past their seals farther and farther, corrosion builds up on them and they can't return in. I had it on all four corners, so it's something to check out. Good luck.

That sucks man, too bad it wasn't just a control arm or something of the like.

Or another thing it could be is the axle spline to the hub is worn out, then when you're on the coast side the load is taken off.
