What should I do??? My 1992 accord has the 92 H23 non vtec engine i already have $2000 in it but it is going to take about $600 more bucks to get it back in going condition. It needs a motor and dash wire harness which i cant seem to find not on ebay or anywhere and i have to get a whole new exhaust run plus some other odds and ends. I am still in High School so i am only able to run a part time job so the money is coming in slow. my wire harness is bust so my car isnt running right now. Should i just take the loss on my car and just sell it as is and try to get out of it what i can and just get a dif car or is it worth going on with??? My mind isnt set on an Alluder I just got myself in a predicament because i originally wanted to make it a beast but now im want more off a better looking car any help??

 

what did you spend 2k on?

what form of english includes the phrase "...to get it back in going condition."

wtf is an "alluder"?

 

You spent $2000 on a non vtec h23? Damn man if you did that was your first mistake. If I were you I'd sell the engine and put back the stock f22, or if you want to save up a little and you can get a complete h22 swap for less than $2000

 

I think he's trying to say that he bought a non-running 92 Accord that already has an H23, and that in total (including purchasing the car) he's spent $2000.

 

I bought a running accord with the H23 in it the body on the accord was in sooo bad shap it had bondo every where but my dad owns a body shop so that wasnt gonna b a problem for me The guy wanted $900 bucks for the car with the H23 and the wheels 17" black konig's After about a week the main relay went out on it and he didnt even have the fuel pump wired into the ignition he had a push button to get the fuel pump to turn on Well when the main relay went out I decided just to put the motor in another honda that would make the body work easier and while the motor was out i had to put both front throw out bearings a new cv axle plus a lot of other odds and ends then i spent about a hundred bucks on the fluids and when we got the motor out too we realzied he had the wire harness wired up just enough to work and thats what made the main relay go out so now i cant find a wire harness for it and i already got close to 2 grand wrapped up in it

 

well if it only takes another $600 to get it working, I would do that. Then keep your eye out in the future for a clean body to swap all these upgraded parts into.

does that exist?

 

well the car that i swapped the motor into has a straight body so thats already done its in a clean straight body the only thing is it needs a paint job but i am wayyyyy more worried bout gettin it runnin before i even think about the paint

 

well since the body is straight and all the motor runs good just needs a wire harness the cars got black 17" Konig wheels brand new tires interior is in good condition so im jsut gonna try to sell it and just take the loss on it I have recently decided on it im not sure how much i can get for it but im just gonna try for about $1400 whole car wheels and all if not who knows???

 

just go to a junkyard and grab a stock 4th gen accord harness itll work for it
