so i decided to sell my hatch. it had a 99 ls motor in it and that was not to be sold wit da car so in goes back a stocker. i had a stocker but when i swapped i took the sohc apart, for whatever reasons, i dont know. bonk me. so i searched for a stock sohc longblock, where else to search for one?, HONDA-TECH.com. so about a month ago i found one locally from "igone916". i was to trade my 94+ geezer seats for his sohc, fair trade?????? he kind of lagged more than i wanted but overall it was koo, cause it turned out my boy was his boy too, so i didn't say anything about any delays. anyways i got the the motor on sunday 3/13/05 from igone916. on monday i took out the ls moto and put the sohc together. tuesday i put in the sohc. plug everything ups, blah blah blahs. i accidently put the baterry in reverse (pos to neg, neg to pos). i didn't realize until the next day. so i have everything connected (the right & wrong way), and tries to start the moto. nah ain't happinin'. i go through a string of probs, and i'm pretty pissed. so next day, wednesday, i checks out the hb, and now...i realize the battery is gayed out and also the battery 60a fuse is blown, i dont have one here or near me. i leave it be, cause i procrastanated. thursday i take pics of it when i wakes up cause i'm bored, oh yeah i'm unemployed, i mess with cars constantly.

pic of the car wit no working heart. so i just chills for the day until the afternoon and i goes to picknpull to go gank me a battery fuse and scope the inventory. heh, the admission should cover the fuse"s". so goes home, the battery is straight now, but stills wont start. checked fuel & spark, it's koo. double checks everything, koo. so i notice that i don't know the spark plug wire order, bonk me. i searched HT and solved that issued. the car started for a split second. it wont start a-gain. im frustrated. i checked the pulley and cam gear to see if it was aligned. i guess it was but tried to redo the timing anyways. i noticed that i forgot how to do it, so i searched HT and solved that issue. but still no solve. so i did the valve lash, though i think it should not affect start up, and i noticed that i forgot the valve lash settings, so i searched HT and solved that. still no start though, . the other day i checked the inside of the dizzy and the rotor was oddly & incredibly loose, also the dizzy was working with the ls moto before i took the moto out. so i noticed that i had no idea how this would affect start up, so i searched HT for rotor probs, and realized that it does affect it. thanks HT. search works! u damn noobs must search! there so much archived content, dude! i quits for awhile and now it's 12:30 am pacific time 3/18/05. i was bored searching the net, so i checked out my ride. i pulls the dizzy outs, and now i see that the rotor is no longer loose, it's to ***** and pieces. i cranked the moto a whole lot so that may i have some'em to do wit it. i go to my bucket of spare dizzys and finds a rotor. okay now i feel 99% confident that it will start. bam like that, vroom vroom. finally, all that work for a sohc, my sis tells me, it's pretty late to be working on my car. so what! i'm a car nut.

my ls started on the first try. never ever had any frustrations with the ls. very good motor .

well, that was long, but the moral of the story is, SEARCH! and search good. dont type crazy *** words. type basic words, that u think everyone will include in thier topic title in a certain subject and have some common sense. i never posted a "huh i got probs help me now" topic. i search first and i search alot. then u annoy the members of HT .

wow, isn't HT useful .

What drop is on your hatch, It looks good and aggresive, coilovers or springs?

 

FWIW, my crx sits about like that on GC and KYB AGX. Lookin good though man.

 

as i am a strong supporter of searching before posting as well, i have had a hard time with the search engine on H-T. I think it has something to do with a firewall I may have on my computer or something because I can look at subject line in one frame and go to the search from and search for a couple specific words found in that subject line and sometimes it won't return that. I blame the user more than the search. Ok , I'm being the devil's advocate on this one.
Good you got it goin bro.

 

haha, i got mismatch coilovers on. they suck! oh well. i think blue maxspeed up front and some kind of red ones in the back, all on stock shocks. i had the car on 4x4 mode for like a year and just this week i just slammed it, cause i was bored.

 

anyone wanna buy it

 

nice car

This is what we call "no suspension travel," kids . . .

 

i constantly hit bumpstops. one time i hit a corner so fast, i hit a small bump in the road and the car,...well,...let's just say it was a rough ride.
