I won't beat the **** out of it unless that's my only choice. I'll then probably find another way to do it w/out a BFH. 45* nipple, or a 90*

I'm not sure where I'll mount it yet. Probably in the fresh air vent area. The cable clutch hole will just route the stainless line I guess.

Car's in the garage but I'm too busy to work on it Still waiting on my honda parts and my line from chase.
run the clutch line through your fender.

No one wants your junk.

Is there an official Import Alliance thread for '09, yet? I can only find the '08 one. I'm wanting to book the hotel early.

Dang. That's a pretty good idea, but the line's already been built to be 70-75" long. It'll be pretty hard to see, but if I ever do a full engine bay smoothing & paint job I'll consider that idea.

Wait. That'd be like 200 ft long. haha

Running it through the fender is a good idea, but where would you have it come out of? by the headlights? you would need a hose pretty long.. at least 6-8ft long.

In the shaved/Tucked thread.. theres a DC by "not so jdm dan" that ran the line through his frame rail and put a nipple right there.. very clean look for sure! just an idea... any other ideas of how to route that line im in for.

Man o man. Taking the dash out wasn't too bad. The climate control is def ko'd though. Is it worth the trouble to buy a new one?

possible mounting idea. kinda good i think. right by the clutch cable hole.

here goes nothing...

dang

the MFSOB PITA pedal assembly weld fail. DAMNGIT

looks like a new one will run me $250 or so. junk!

Yes, worth the trouble. I bought an '89 CRX with no heater core and no climate control and it was miserable. I had to carry a towel with to me to defrost the windshield.

I found a how-to crx to accord controls swap, but I'm leaning towards buying one new OEM. My car is too nice to do this hvac swap. It lasted 20 yrs, so another HVAC wouldn't be a horrible idea...

OR Ebay has a metal place FS that I'll use to put it back together.

It does if you dont wear gloves. Madman i may have an extra climate control face that is good. The buttons are shitty and would need to be replaced, but i will check later and let you know. This way you could swap your guts into a good face.

Get the real momo I love my mugen/momo

That was my exact wheel. He took a pic for the site before he shipped it to me. Notice the crooked yellow stripe? I sold it before I used it so I can say much about the suede. It sure looks good, but I've heard bad things about normal use.
