JDMxGE8's DC2 Picture/Progress Thread
Having sold my DB8, I've been without a track car for a few months now. I've been shopping around for a new replacement for a couple of months now and recently came up on a pretty good deal. Last year, I used to own a DC2 shell, but I never really got the ball rolling with it. So I ended up selling it to a buddy of mine. He recently put the DC2 shell up for sale, because he came up on a Datsun 240Z shell. As soon as I found out about the DC2, I called him up and got her back. The funny thing is that I named her Destiny when I first bought her. Coincidence?
The Plan: To build the DC2 for time attack. I plan to compete in the Redline Time Attack, Super Lap Battle, and the Super Street FF Battle. It will be entered in the Street class in RTA and SLB. Game on.
First Stage: Rebuild B18C1
Now that I have acquired a B18C1, the first thing on the list is to do a rebuild. My plan is to compete in the Streett Class in Redline/Speed Ventures Time Attack Series, so there are no restrictions when it comes to NA engine modifications. I'm going to try to squeeze out as much power out of the B18C1 as I can. With some luck, I should be able to achieve 200whp. If I end up blowing the B18C1, Plan B is to swap to a K20A from an FD2 CTR.
Engine/Drivetrain:
B18C1 GS-R engine
Y80 GS-R transmission
ACL Race connecting rod bearing set
ACL Race main bearing set
ACL Race thrustwasher set
AEM fuel filter
AEM fuel pressure regulator
Aeromotive fuel pressure gauge
ARP 9mm connecting rod bolts
ARP harmonic balancer bolt kit
ARP head studs
ARP main studs
Suspension:
Brakes:
Power Slot slotted brake rotors (Front/Rear)
Project Mu HC+ brake pads (Front/Rear)
Wheels/Tires:
OEM GS-R Fat Five wheels (15x6 +45)
Dunlop Direzza DZ101 (205/50/15)
Exterior:
Mugen license plate bolts
Interior:
Circuit Hero shift lever extender
Circuit Hero SS shift knob
Electronics:

Yeah Pat, I sold the DB8 a few months ago.
Yessir! Haha!
No worries man, I'm sure you'll get a chance to pick up a project car in the future. My girlfriend didn't quite understand my obsession with cars and racing, but she eventually accepted it. Now she likes Hondas and drives a YH1 (03 Element LX).
