huh i'll have to check that.

wait... maybe THAT'S where that HUGE *** bolt came from??

lol the other night a bolt fell out of the engine bay along w a random spacer and i have no idea where it came from
but seriously it moves like 3 inches back and fourth, it tourqes like an engine w crazy power... but it doesn't have crazy power...

any ways discovered i need new rear discs and calipers after resetting the calipers since i didn't do that when i installed the disc swap. then i replaced the front pads since they were worn out. wanted to install my pass. side door lock actuator, but ran out of time

 

i wish i payed attention in class when we were learing about brakes. yupp chek ur mounts. front.back.left.right. most likely its ur front mount but ya.

 

disc brakes are easy. drums aren't too bad, but it takes practice to figure out how to adjust them right.

 

well as of now, i think it is safe to say that this car is finally ready and safe to drive. i finished hooking up the passenger side key less entry today. i just need to hook up the vss and put on a cluster cover. going to be swapping out hatch's w the one on my 89 cuz i want a rear wiper tomorrow then will work on wiring it up later

 

We will get that done on Tuesday, I already talked to Ang and so tuesday is my free day. Clean up and then we can do the hatch. I also am bringing a BOAT load of parts from my house that we can sort through and see if we want them or not. haha oh and you can get those GSR calipers from me, i know they should fit, but i dunno. I wanna get the brakes and sh*t hooked up on tuesday as well, just so i know they work, and figure out why the rear feel weird. anyways, PUT PICS UP lol do i have to take pics for you now?

 

ooo. updates arent all that with out pics! ive got a hatch too. waitin for my attntion. ima finish the sedan first then work on thee hatch. having 2 build threads is murder on thee walet. lol. updates with pics PLZ!

 

well what do you guys wanna see? the interior, engine bay, ***, front, or under side? lol

 

what do you mean the rears feel weird? i think the drums on the 89 just need to be adjusted

 

jus post pics... lol

 

Yeah i figured it out, the shoes (since the cables were not hooked up till i hooked them up last night) were VERY loose and just ended up sliding a wee bit and tapped the drum a tiny bit. but i got it figured out now.

And haha! im going to jack your thread Ryan! As my car is now on the floor lol



Wait till this after noon, im adjusting them as low at they will go!

 

bah stay out of my thread. i'll have some pix for ya guys later, i gotta finish a job on my dad's van... started off tryin to replace the alternator... while i was in there i say hey why don't we replace the water pump and thermostat since we have it... well of course the thermostat bolts would brake off... didn't happen on my van (same make model and engine) but it did on his... fml!!!!!

 

well no luck on pictures today. i was job hunting and helping my dad with his van, and then it started raining and i went to the girlfriends for dinner. going to be looking for a nice crx for her when we get closer to being debt free

 

i forgot to mention that my mom bought me the hose i need to get this thing running tip top again (damn old hoses). when i get a job again i'm buying the full samco kit.

 

Hey Ryan, I think that bolt cam off the sub frame or the rack and pinion. I looked at mine to day and it had that same bolts JUST like it.

 

pics. i demand them NOW

 

be up in 30

 

pictures being edited now... there's a TON. i didn't know what pix to take so i took pix of everything.

 

32 total pix taken, half done being uploaded to photo bucket

 

in the meen time check my thread. lotta updates

 

ok here we go:

front end:

i started cutting the holes for my fog lights, then ran into the problem of figuring out the mounting brackets for my fogs, they're oem bosch fogs from a legend

moving on to the interior:

98 front prelude seats that i did a seat pan swap on:


rear gsr cloth seats:


crx dx steering wheel:


dx door panels, as close to minty freshness as i could find:


auto dc cluster:


the cluster is temporary. when i get a better alarm i have something from an EK that's going in...

clock...


center consil, i wish i had the optional audio one, but no job means no money and no money means no parts...


OEM stock gsr shifter, weighted greddy shift ****, and an awsome cool ebay "type r" cdm shift boot (they only did three of the four stiches red, one side they missed...)


I added a drivers side oh **** handle to help my fat *** get out of the car


It's me!!!!!!!!!!


OEM honda civic front floor mats (they need to be re dyed)


passenger side power mirror (drivers side is power too, both work!)


dome light cover:


rear tweeter mounting spot:


rear interior shot two, including cargo cover and a piece of plywood for the spare tire well


what's in my trunk??


Ooooooooo cargo light (not stock on a std!!)


and of course no ef trunk is complete without a leaking tail light:


moving on to the out side

drivers side:


front mudflaps, half an inch off the ground sitting, scrapin when driving:


rear disc swap w bad rotors...


the rear end


passenger side (i have the door trim i just need the clips for it)


Fenders:


engine bay (stock d15b1 with 4spd tranny, new plugs, wires, cap, newer dizzy, new 02 sensor, fan switch, using a fpr from an HF, mpfi swapped with z6 intake and z6 4-2-1 header):


Intake manifold (z6 with ls throttle body)


side shot:


better shot:


The hose i need to replace:


and an si hood... from 1991

 

Damn, old school son! [:

 

what do you mean? i'm just tryin to keep it stock looking. the exhaust on it is a true ef9 jdm sir exhaust, it has 2.25 piping from the cat to where it splits into two one inch tips.

and the intake is an injen intake... lol

i'm hoping that the more stock it is the less it will be noticed...

i've got a stock intake laying around, i'm thinking of putting that back in instead of the intake, it's super throaty right now from the intake and ls throttle body. lol

 

eventually i'll have my frankenstein zc/a6/z6 motor put together and mated with my si trans and will haul ***. (twin cam zc pistons, a6 block and z6 head), and it will be converted to obd1. i'll also be buying a good header and a highflow cat (currently i have an ebay test pipe)

also car will be eventually be painted back to it's origonal red.

perhaps this winter i will replace all the bushings if i have a job, since it needs it.

also i have an si sway bar sitting in my garage, waiting for me to clean it and figure out how to install it.

as far as suspension goes right now it's sitting on what i belive is stock struts (might not be, as they were on my buddy's crx for like 5 years slammed and still aren't blown) and max speed coil overs. rides a little bouncy but feels good. i also put blox rear lower controll arms on it and a dx front sway bar.

my goals as far as suspension goes is eventually a function/form f2 adjustable set up with the itr style rear lca's to keep it oem 88 status (i swapped out the 88 lca's with the newer one's to accomidate the suspension). alont with that stuff i also think some strut bars would be in order.

lastly i have a set of ex knuckles and a 15/16ths m/c sitting in my garage, that i'm going to freshen up and and install when i swap my motor over and what not. also i'll need to buy some wheels... going to go with some spun supamesh wheels, they are teh sex imo.


as ya'll can see i have a lot plans for the car. first and far most i gotta finish paying it off and registered and insured.

 

i also like the axis og oldskool's

 

bump...
