3M Super 90 is what I used. The Super 77 will not work.

I chose the checker pattern because it screams old school hot rod to me. Sure my DA is not a hot rod but it's old school and I think it's funky. It's not for everyone but I like it so that's what matters.

Finally lowered the front of the car today.
At first we SLAMMED it all the way down on the PICs. Back it out of my buddy's drive way, drove down the street, heard my upper control arms making sweet love to the shock towers (bang bang bang) and decided to raise the car. I then got denied by the driveway trying to pull back in.

Still to cold to do the head liner, not in the mood to crack any of my plastic trim. I did however get my tinted tails on and I'm not impressed. They are too dark and don't really fit in with the car overall so I think they have to go.

I have some spare tail lights of course, 1 of which was cracked a bit and I got to thinking, I wonder how they would look cleared? Fired up the oven and after some sweating and work came up with the final product.

I like them, going to place them on the truck of the car before work and see what I think. I did a half *** job since this light was broken already so it's cracked a bit more now. I think a heat gun would work better or maybe a bit more heat in the oven itself. Depending on how lazy I am I'll do the driver side tail (which is mint) tonight. Then I only have to clean/detint one tail light.

These tails are much more clear then the 90-91 version imo.



I like em now if only I hadn't cracked the ---- out of both of them. I think I need a heat gun and of course ANOTHER set of tails lights.

DAs are a hell of a lot of fun. I've loved every minute with this car over the past 8 months.

Now I can't wait for boost!

I know they kill the car big time. Looking for another set of 92-93 tails to clear or I might try to clear these ones.

I like the amber to be honest. The cleared 92-93 tails look freaking awesome it's just such a bitch to do without breaking them. Maybe a heat gun will work better.

^Thanks!

Well did some work today in preparation for the turbo. Both AC and power steering are coming out. Before anyone says, I had my AC discharged when I bought the car last year.
So far lines are out, once the PS is out I can yank the AC compressor out too.

Hopefully this summer. With my job it's hard to get time off but I'm starting to get Sundays off so I hope it keeps up and I can make both the strip and circuit this year.

I'm actually selling my resistor box. Just gonna buy some 650 high impedance injectors from Precision.

Finally got around to looping my PS rack but not pictures of that.
Big difference in the feel of the car, GS-R is a friggin heavy *** car.

Cleaned the car up last week, spent a long time and I'm pleased with the result. Here's an **** shot with the new tails and the 'stock' exhaust.Name:  IMGP4732.jpg
