well towed the car home since the throwout bearing sezied


decided that i might as well do some work


here's everything mocked up

 

lol, regardless of my age Ive always cared about that.

 

I want to LSV in my 90 hatch, anybody know hook ups?

 

Stickin with that jdm r tranny blu?

 

fancy

 

oh noooo...i have yet to do 80 on the highway b/c it's deafening at 70mph

 

That's awesome! Don't care for the laziness of the radiator though. With the money and fab work involved in something like this, that's half *** as ****. Fix that and I think popping the hood or rather what's left of it will be Badass :p haha

 

Just change the 5th and you'll be fine. I can do 85+ all day long and still hear my radio, lol.

 

I said the same thing about the rad. He had to more the engine forward a bit to make enough room for the AWD to work, and it made fitting a rad harder. I think he should do a tucked rad, but idk if he will or not. It's a pretty neat endeavor no matter how janky the rad looks, however.

 

Wagon is sweet!! I would put a tucked radiator in there for sure! I think with time, and some refinements it will look awesome!

 

Anybody know if a "B-Series EF Header" thread exists? Any insight on ground clearance, front crossmember clearance, motor type (B16a, B18c, B18a), mounts used...etc,with pics would be awesome!

 

Sorry, but I've got to call bs here. Like I said, it's badass, don't get me wrong, but with all the money and time invested into the car doing one off custom ****, it wouldn't have been much trouble to just get a radiator in there that looks good. Personal preference I guess, because had it been me and my car, I wouldn't want to show it off like that. I admire the work regardless because it's a badass build, but seriously that radiator just sticks out like a sore thumb screaming look at my half *** work.

 

Wagon didnt even have a bumper on it.. give the guy a break!!
Im sure he has plans to clean it all up now that everything is in there... and if not its his to deal with. Pretty cool either way, would like to have myself a 4wd wagon for the snow season approaching.

 

Yeah, pretty much. This Clipsed guy is a feisty one isn't he. I can see completely how moving the engine forward would have this effect, having a KR-X myself. It's not really bs in any way shape or form. I also threw a half assed radiator in there at first to get it running, then a GTi rad, and now I am in the process of completely redoing the entire engine bay, using a modified half rad, with AN fittings. I hope he redoes his radiator as well, but honestly it is just a car he takes out in the desert, and beats the crap out of, so not sure if he will.

 

Too much bitching, I wanna see fast efs.

I don't care about the rad, the launch was rather weak, boost that **** and then let's talk

 

Haha, it's only an 160hp accord engine. I would guess boosting would result in some pretty expensive broken drivetran parts. At least if we have learned anything from Mistubishis.

As for your request, my son. Here you go.

 

there is one...i'll see if i can find it
