i found a complete 90 model rs with all those parts on it at barrys,i went just to look and see what they had at like 5pm when they were bout to close and then the next i brought my tools at like 10am and there were allready parts missing so i striped the whole car of its goods. it had some password jdm stickers on it and was like a teal grean of some sort.
im going to go by TDC and see if i can get a b16 tranny or gsr tranny to complete my 5 speed swap parts.

Do they sell stuff like that at tdc? I need to go by there and check it out. I wouldn't mind getting a b16 cable tranny myself. Are you talking about barry's u-pull it off of 1-10? You think anything is left on it?

I think maybe tdc would have a few trannys there or if not they might know were to find one? its worth a shot to ride by and see. yep right in tilmans cornor is where i got the parts. if anyone from the bayou found that car, its probly striped now. im thinkin bout ridin over there tommorow if ther open to see if they got a few pieces and maybe search for a b16 tranny. that was the only da9 they had out there when i went. i hope they get more.
what kind of car you have?

I got a 92 da. Yea Ive never had any luck finding any da's at junk yards around here. Thats why i was shocked to hear that you found one. Were they cheap on parts? I always thought TDC was a tuning place but I'm not really sure.

yea i got all those parts in the picture and a fender for like 280...not bad. the struts is what made it so expensive there like 25 a piece. yea tdc does tuning but they also do engine builds and chassis work. turbo kits and all that good stuff.

i got some tokico struts and neuspeed springs im going to put on, i want a set of 16s, tail lights are definantly going to get changed to some oems, but the headlights dont look too bad on the car and i dont want to spend a whole lot since this is just going to be a daily driver.

I think that it would look good if you painted the hood, roof, and hatch black as long as you had some black rims..... Do you have pix of the clean bay?
