Had to replace the whole fuel system. I thought it would be fairly easy. Little did I know the fuel level sending unit and pressure line from the pump are discontinued from honda. I ordered the FLSU from 4 places first 3 happened to have inventory issues and were out of stock. I ended up finding an OEM honda one. Got everything in yesterday, she fired up runs good.

Nice find! What's the white paper crap all over the floor? What are your plans for it - keep it stock??

Wow. Damn. Congratulations!

Pics after she gets a good bath? Looks like the paint aged really well.

Honda needs to bring this color back.

EDIT: never mind. Just say the 'after wash' pics and it's just black. I thought it was the blue,

The white paper it the outer layer of the ceiling insulation for some reason it separated from the panel. It's all over everything. I'm not sure where I'm going with it yet. I'm thinking keeping it more on the stock side. I got it running the other day it smokes. I've been throwing around the idea of a B16

If you want it to keep a high value for later resale my suggestion would be to rebuild the D16a6, keep it as OEM as possible.

Now if you want to have the maximum amount of fun with the car a B16 or a GSR is a perfect place to start.

Looks like the paint could use a good buff job, but besides that appears to have almost no rust so thats a huge win. Especially in NY.

I haven't looked for too much yet. I wanted to make sure I could get it running. Alot of parts for this aren't available through Honda anymore.
