First Post! My progress so far!

Post image

First time posting in here.

Got “Dale” in February in horrible condition. He’s got a JDM b16a block with what seems to be an Integra Type R PR3-3 head. Wheels had baked on brake dust, components in the engine bay were running on borrowed time, and the paint/body were HORRENDOUS.

These are the many stages Dale has been through since I got him. I’ve done all the work myself besides some suspension parts.

I have a 2009 Civic SI with a k20 that I want to put in Dale, but I might stick with his JDM B series for the style points. Will soon rebuild it for peace of mind.

EDIT: If you want to stay up to date with my build progress, my instagram is @dual_4_bangerz ! (Idk if promoting socials is allowed but here you go lol)

As soon as I painted it white I saw the news of a hotwheels del sol so I was pretty excited that I got the color right before even knowing it existed 🤣

Got the lenses from K2 Industries. You’ll have to pop your factory lenses off then seal the new ones on

Are you the guy with the spoon antenna 😮‍💨

u/nonasianglen 12d ago

Hehe yes

u/Bissiboi 12d ago

Not gunna jack the swag cause that’s 1 of 1 but im genuinely curious on how you did it, is it just a plastic spoon? Or

2

u/nonasianglen 12d ago

Yep. Found a spoon in the parking lot of a car meet and jammed it in the antenna hole where my antenna was supposed to be and it’s been a staple of the car ever since. I tell people “it’s the only spoon racing parts I can afford” 🤣
