Default F20C powered E30

My son got this car after hearing me talk for years about how fun these cars are to drive. He enjoyed it for about 2 months before the head gasket popped. Being that we are a Honda family he wanted to swap a f20c in the car but he quickly found this was going to be a bigger project than he could tackle. I bought him a 2004 Accord V6 6 speed as a trade for the e30 and my buddy and I got to work....

After fixing those problems we broke the Chinese made starter


pulled the trans to get those pieces out and got another starter from O'Reilly's and ......





we got a real starter from a local honda junkyard



Now that we finally got that problem solved, time to try to start it again....
