Okie dokie, so I bought a non running 1993 Prelude SR-V Vtec with about 122k on it. When I got it, all vac lines were totally a mess. The previous owner swapped out intake manifold, and before I purchased it I asked him to swap back to the original.

So Heres whats shes got

H22a1
m2a4 jdm tranny

will post pics tonight

 

So its been awhile and i didnt come through with what i said i was going to do...so im bored ill do it now..heres the pics of the car before i did anything to it.



















Ok so as you can see...needs some loving...the bodys got some fixable dents. but besides the hood, the paint looks great. only two dime size spots of rust . Anywho so if you seen me around the Prelude forum, i hate the engine bay of this car.... First thing is that damn skunk2 intake mani..sure its aftermarket...but it responds like a Tijuana donkey show with a stock motor....next is the lack of a coolant reservoir, and the exhaust system. and the blue accessories..aka painted valve cover and blue obx hoses gotta go. And the ac was already taken out upon pick up so thats a plus. Other things i plan to swap is the egr valve(this ones totally fubard), and a moshi civic half radiator, to clean up the bay and create more room. Ill post pics of day 1 work later

gl man..i plan to re-build an older prelude sometime aswell.

 

okay so day one i mocked up my intake mani and header, dont want to commit because i dont have a torque wrench to get them to spec. Also i reran ALL the vac lines with new tubing. The old was cracked and crappy. I swapped in a new egr. It was like 105 on the blacktop outside of my apartment so i started doing some interior work, i remounted the center console, shift boot, and armrest area. heres pics of the first day of work on it

 

Day 2

found an exhaust for 20 bucks..its garbage...but itll due until friday when i gets paid
Also I cleaned up my vac line job and ran them under the mani closer to firewall..

ps hanging a lowered car suspension in a parking lot sucks.... just in case you guys wann a do it...

Notice the huge holes in the downpipe...yeah ebayll fix that for me friday as well

now for the pics












Egay exhaust..20 bucks though, oh well

The next pic is me being emo and needing a new myspace pic

Dont have alot of time today so I removed bumper and removed radiator











Also i swapped out all the turns for euro blackout housings and reran all the foglight wiring/harnesses, and got new bulbs its legit




So my parts on the way are
Moshi half radiator
Samco coolant lines(black)
koni yellows already have teins...and after all this car stuff ill be poor..too poor to buy gcs for it.

 

Any community input? Offer up guys, not saying Ill agree, but still ideas are always welcome

 

nice to see a prelude project

 

HAHA i know right, i searched this forum and bb squad is few and far between Thanks

 

Finally a prelude build I'll be watching

 

nice

 

Ok so today I worked all day and didnt have anytime to start any huge projects...but i did got to autozone and get some goodies

paint (black and lime green)
primer
Airplane Paint Stripper
and.....

A NEW TORQUE WRENCH HOOOORAAAYYY FINALLY I CAN TIGHTEN MY **** UP!

soo the paint on the valve cover was a bitch...took two cans to get that **** off..heres the progress

 

3 sos pads later and two cans of airplane stripper finally was ready to prime.. so here it is...and for the record...who ever used craft paint to do a valve cover should be shot in the head....with a 22 mm...wouldnt kill them...but theyd still have a bullet in the skull..

Not to bad for doing it all in my kitchen...ps i might be high

 

my camera/lighting is garbage. so every pic i took of it painted looked like trash..ill take a pic when its outta the oven.. i had a few roadbumps...probably going to redo it sooner or later. I had to put it outside because this misses was getting irritated with the smell of paint...and its like 03983 % humidity...caused some serious issues...didnt think about it until 1 final coat into it...doh! hopefully baking it will make a difference

 

So I ordered some parts today, it was raining and i was beat from work. I ordered my civic ek half radiator-moshimoto with slim fan, and some new headers! hooray..

But heres the deal i need a new suspension setup, Anyone have something for cheap, just need shocks/springs or coilovers? Please help me out Anyone tonight im posting up the paintbooth..aka my bathroom and painting the plug cover
sicko... ill post pics tonight

 

oh and im me at blazinballer4x4@aol.com or pm me on here for the suspension! Thanks guys

 

camera sucks...so does my lighting
oh well you get the point.

Anyone got a suspension for me?

 

i still have to sand down the "DOHC VTEC" and the Honda badge on the plug cover

Thank god someone bought that that was going to do something with it. It's like seeing an ex girlfriend with another guy. It pisses you off but you want nothing to do with it! Good work man. Somebody needed to redo some of my gay *** mistakes.

Email me again soon. I lost your address, plus I moved in to my new apartment Friday and I think i've been sober for a total of three hours!

SEXY!
