Console looks real good man, the color seems to match great.

I wish they lined up that well in wagons.

Whats up mother EF'ers! The past week Ive been busting my *** trying to get a decent paintjob out of a spray can and all i have to say is Im pretty satisfied with how it came out. As of yesterday the car as been fully painted with the exception of the hatch spoiler. Some spots turned out with orange peel but i plan on spending some time once the car is done to wet sand it and eventually clear it.


I was happy with the doors because they turned out better than anything else on the car.


Once its out of the garage itll look flawless




Both doors waiting to be put back on


Passenger side all sanded down


Primered...


....and painted.


I wasnt happy with the fenders so I re-did them.


A few layers of primer to be safe.


Yeah boi!


The hardest part obviously was the roof, in the middle of spraying it buckled


But turned out to be ok afterwards


The driver side was a different story. With the lack of lighting it made it hard to paint and i had to redo the whole 1/4 panel 3 times. Alot of that has to do with my poor sanding job also. but in the end it turned out good.



So now that all this paint crap is done i can get back to doing the technical stuff like my brakes and the motor.

I have that same steering wheel on my 82 toyota... the toyota steering wheel you found at the yard of course ha ha... Where in washington do you live? I live right across the river from Longview.

prelude182

Yeah after this hatch is done im going to put all the parts ive collected into this 85 yota i picked up for 300 bucks. Im gonna slam it and daily it lol. Im about an hour north of bainbridge island and bremerton and all that. A little place called Port Townsend.

Nick998

Yeah I know exactly where thats at. I have an 82 toyota on 35"s

prelude182

well now im having issues with the car starting. It acts like it has a low/dead battery but all the dash lights are fully illuminated. seems like the starter isnt getting any kick but i put the battery in my other car and works just fine. I know this starter is good but im gonna check all my grounds and connections to make sure.

prelude182

Well i got the battery problem figured out but now im not getting any spark. Im gonna go all the way through the wiring and see if i messed anything up while doing the mpfi swap. if everything seems to look ok im just going to go get another distributor on thursday.

i hope you get it started!! howd the paint turn out?

prelude182

yeah i hope i can get it started too. its been a garage queen for way too long! The paint turned out alot better than i thought it would, theres a couple of runs in the paint but only if you get the right amount of light at a certain angle. other than that i think its gonna look good after i wet sand it and clear it.

prelude182

Anybody in the northwest have a good mpfi dizzy they want to sell? I went to the junkyard and even all the dpfi dizzys are gone, so im kinda gonna be stuck until i can get a dizzy. If anyone has or knows where i can get one please pm me!

prelude182

got the front end all put together today and the car looks good standing on its own shoes. im gonna attack the rear disc conversion on saturday. put my front sway bar on. Getting alot done and times running out for the first nw honda meet so im tryin to hustle. pictures will be up tomorrow.

wreckin-rex91

Looks like the project is coming along. Well, the pick n pull down here has tons of OBD0 honda's, I can keep and eye out. Plus they get OBD1's in regularly, but if I find one, Im keeping it for my B18B1 lol... Keep up the good work. My CRX goes to paint in about 3 weeks and hoping to have it on the road come August at the latest. Motor back from machine shop today and got my new Garrett 57 trim turbo this week... Lots of cash out the door...

When I'm done, I want to come to some of the honda meets in WA. I like seeing you rep'in the Olympic Penn! lol WA FTW!

prelude182

well im kinda disapointed i wont be able to go to the first honda meet of the summer but im getting alot of stuff done and alot of pictures piling up. the disc conversion is half way done, just need to acquire some crx e-brake cables. still looking for a dizzy at the moment but im just gonna order a brand new one. Damn you code 15!!!!

prelude182

sorry ive been on a long hiatus guys. the paint turned out pretty good but i still need to cut and buff it. then itll be minty. As of right now now ive put in 3 dizzys and have came out with no spark. the car is now throwing either code 4 or code 4 and code 10. which totally blows. ive working my *** off to get the timing and wiring right but im running out of ideas.

sorry for the wait guys ill post more pictures of the updates asap

wreckin-rex91

Sorry to hear about your electrical whoas... You are right, it has been forever since you have been around. I was wondering when you were going to show up again! lol...

Maybe this is obvious, but maybe the issues is not the dizzy... Did you do much to your stock wiring from when it ran last?

prelude182

well of course. it ran kinda fine when i had the dual point set up on it. all i did was follow a write up, added my multi point setup step by step which shouldnt be that hard cause a monkey can add 6 wires to an ecu. i get fuel to my injectors but cant seem to get any spark anywhere. ive even tried 3 pm6 ecus, 1 of them i knew was good, same with dizzys. idk im stumped and my only solution from here on out is getting a full si engine and interior ecu harness. i already have the engine harness, now i just need the interior part. pictures are slowly coming but between work and other obligations this is getting tough to get done and on the road.

wreckin-rex91

I hear ya brotha! I have been working on mine for a year now and the motor goes in next Saturday. I cheaped on my wiring and bought a Chasebays plug in play OBD1 Milspec harness.. I'm going for baller cause a budget and $$ flew out the window long ago! I'm sure you can find and SI harness somewhere... I have seen DPFI to MPFI wiring conversions for cheap on rywire. Maybe check that out!

prelude182

yeah i think ill end up going to rywire if all else fails. just kinda sucks ive had this thing for a little over a year and its still in the same spot it has been for all that time haha. ive driven it briefly when i got it and thats it. Since then i havent owned a single honda and its driving me nuts. im getting too ansy to get this thing done and the way it turns out i might be moving to vancouver, wa soon so i gotta get this bitch done and on the road before then.

EKwreckRLS

hope you get it all sorted out, lookin forward to seeing how the paint looks

prelude182

Oh yeah haha. I keep forgetting to post pictures of the progress I've been making. Ill be sure to uplaod some pictures tonight!

damn that sucks **** bro and no **** ur in port townsend im on whidbey island lol

did u try switching the two white wires on the dizzy?

prelude182

Damn you're only a ferry ride away. Yeah I've tried switching the 2 white wires, I've went over the ecu wiring more than enough times, got a new main relay, 3 dizzys (1 known good one), multiple ecus, and keep getting no spark and code 4 and 10. Used the same guage wire, soldered and heat shrinked every connection I've made. Im just losing my hair over it and finding an si interior ecu harness seems to be more of a bitch than I thought it would be lol
