i have a 1994 cd7 ex. i bought it not running. i swapped a replacement motor only to find out it

was shot. so i swapped out another motor and then it was great. this car is honestly the funnest

car i have ever driven. i have driven an 06 goat and i think that its kinda messed up.. but, it is a

honda. anyways now after 9 or so swaps. maybe this isnt a big deal maybe it is? i have ripped the

heart out of this car and am ready for something new. i have a jdm f22b dohc. its almost ready to

be put in... just waiting on assembly. so while i was waiting i decided to clean it up because well..

i love this car. i started to remove the abs. which is a headache to say the least. i removed the

modulator and the proportioning valve. i added the prop valve from a 92 prelude S and i still have

brakes so its all good. but wth do i do with the wires for abs. on the passenger side i ran them

into the car and now they are hanging. on the driver side i have all the abs wires hanging over

the fender. should i stuff these inside too or should i just cut them cause i never plan on selling

the thing anyways and someone would be stupid to put abs back in... what do you guys think? i

also ripped apart the interior. i am in the process of fiberglassing the door panels because of

course the fat guy i bought it from put his arm through the driver side and the passenger side is

just *** bad. after i finish the fiberglass i am wrapping them in microsuede because well with my

tan leather interior rsx seats are coming and i need something to replace the ripped vinyl so thats

my solution. i have rust on the rear quarter panels of course and a new panel is 700 bucks so how

does fiberglass sound to you guys? any suggetions? the door is shot on the bottom to because of

the oh so sweet weather stripping our 5th gens have that lets water get inside your doors. so i

guess ill just have to find a door from a sedan and chop it up. im 18 years old have so much life

ahead of me and this car does too.. your suggetions and input is greatly apprecited. thanks guys

and thanks honda-tech

 

Just a general internet point, you should space out your paragraph as that's quite a topic changing bit of clutter as it stands, just space it out some more.

I'm not sure why you removed ABS as it's quite helpful, especially if it was working fine. The ABS modulator can act up causing the light to come on but that can be diagnosed and fixed (possibly cheap).

If you have questions on how to do something use the Accord FAQ - you can also find the website section that has a few sites to buy replacement OEM parts - like your weather stripping.

 

Fiberglass to repair rust is not a solution. I tried it and the rust just got bigger. Here is a website I found a while back. http://www.fixmyrust.com/Product/5144058.html

 

I did give the bay a paint

 

the abs didnt work. and i want a really clean engine bay. im really sick of not having a nice car so this is my project.

i have a coupe not a sedan thanks anyways.

that is the plan cant wait till this car is done

 

any suggestions for the wires in the picture above?

 

take your drivers side fender off first. then find the little hole where you can see into the engine bay from the outside - it is under there just search. once you have found the hole drill it out with a 1 1/2" - 2" hole saw. run the wires in and wire tie them up to the hood release cable. done.

my question to you is about the prop valve from the 92 prelude. is it from a car that did not have abs?? i am curious because i already hid my abs wires but i want to remove the abs module and lines like you already did. it seems like i did what you wanted to do and you did the other half of the job.

please let me know on that part from the prelude and i will assist you in the abs wire thing if needed.
thanks and good luck.

 

yes its from a prelude s which didnt have abs basically i just cut all the lines

and put new flares on them. i have to re-do on because it leaks a little but

ive bled my brakes in the front and it seems to have worked. then again i dont

have a motor to test them when running lol.. soon..

btw all i got really lucky. and i mean REAL lucky. i found another coupe that

got *** packed. the entire thing was mint hardly any rust and the interior of

course is perfect. i was gonna have to buy all kinds of front end parts and

now i dont need doors door panels or seats.. if i can find some rsx cloth tan

seats ill probably buy them but for now im swapping the interior from this

coupe to my black one. thank god for reasonable people and for him selling

this thing to me for 425.

 

damn! same color as mine!! when is the motor going in? did you do research for the abs removal? just curious. i hope it works when the motor goes in cuz if it does this is what i am doing for sure, as i am also wire tucking and cleaning up my engine bay

as far as running the wires where i told you to i can take pics tonight or tomorrow and post them.
here is a pic of her - boosted f22!

 

yeah i jsut looked around on here.. but then i didnt really find anything. so i just figured i would need a prop valve for non abs.. i had the prelude apart so i took it and then bought some fitting cause our ex master cylinders rear line fitting is bigger.. so you have to do that then just bend the lines kinda the way they still fit. here is a pic. the one in my hand is stock.. seeing that the coupe i have doesnt have abs maybei will jsut swap the brake boosters and everything else to my car haha other wise i just looked at the non abs accord and the prop valves look identical. so any accord thats non abs would be a donor.

 

any pictures yet???

 

sorry not yet, definitely this weekend.

 

so i got the motor put all together. hid the abs wires and taped them up. swapped my

interiors out. kinda.... i got the carpet in at least.. i've been scrubbing.. but i got into a

snag.. 1) i was scammed and was told the clutch i bought was for an accord. of course

it wasn't it was for a b series. 2) how am i gonna continue to have a front motor mount

with my turbo?


there doesnt seem to be any room to put the mount there.. i know ill have

to cut it a lot but still the bolt head is way too big that its not even gonna fit behind the

compressor housing.



here is a pic of the mount bolted up without the turbo
