Well here goes nothing. my name's kelvin, 19 and i'm new to this forum, I use to hang around hondasociety but I sold my cd5 to my friend and got his 95 civic for $150. needs LOTS of work cos he sucks at maintaining cars my poor cd5. But with the money from the car I bought an h22a4 and have been collecting some parts. this will be my first swap so hopefully i'll find lots of help around here. stick around this thing's gonna be a beast!! hope you enjoy


OLD ACCORD

lol broken headlights

rust like abitch!

THE BEAST bad pic but its in my trunk more pics soon!

 

Consider doing an h2b which uses the H engine and the b series trans. This allows the use of the h series engine without cutting up your civic in order to make the h series cable shifting trans work.

 

i'd call it a piece of ****, but that'd be giving it too much credit.

 

I would but then I'd have to wait MORE to put the motor in and I don't like taking the bus so maybe later lol

won't be when i'm done with it

 

well its been a while but finally getting things going. been waiting on some parts while collecting from locals but I think it's ready to go in probably gonna get it done sometime in the next 2 weeks if my schedule isn't too packed. here's a couple things that came in this week!

OBD1 internal dizzy


Hasport egh3 kit


Hasport axles


picked up prelude shifter and cables


s2k CMC


aluminum radiator


can wait to see how this turns out

 

damn, your friend beat the hell outta that civic

 

yeah he did, cheap as hell though and absolutely no rust underneath lol

 

lol thats probably the only good thing about it at for now

 

Whats making you want to run the cable trans/shifter?
In all honesty...they suck!

Interested to see where this goes

 

Try to stick it out for for a GSR tranny. The only reason I kept my M2B4 was because it was LSD. But if you just want to get it in then go with what you got. Its nice to see some coupes getting H's put in them. Good Luck!

 

I just want to get this done, been taking the bus for too long in this cold *** weather. so that would mean wait longer and spend another thousand atleast lol not in for that. I had cables on the accord and didn't miss one gear

 

got my headlights in the mail and picked up a bumper.


and an hour drive later look what i just picked up!!! only 400 brand new in the box

 

got some work done today! been a rough couple weeks paying tickets and bills, plus they towed the car the other day but I finally got things going. my sister let me use her drive way took the single cam out today now just need to get the chassis ready for the H and do the auto to manual. Got a p28 on hondata btw just need a basemap then this baby will be running!!!!

P28 on S300

squeeky clean!

my buddy and my 80 dollar autozone tool box were all the help i needed lol

bye bye single cam!

 

nice to see some motivations . this project is looking good

 

There's a reason that suspension is so cheap. It's garbage. I'm speaking from experience. Too tight to be comfortable for a DD, and WAY too loose for any kind of remotely performance-oriented driving. Have fun with the nose dive.

 

thanks man
its a budget build lol these will have to do for the first year or so

 

early morning bump! check out my build

 

A proper budget build takes longer - it doesn't involve needlessly cheap parts.

 

Sure it does, He knows what he wants to do, Quit raggin on his choice of parts.

Keep us posted with your build and issues you face. As far as the cable trans. when you're ready to convert it hit up Robert Diaz at Hush Performance. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hush-...519234?fref=ts He's a good guy & very helpful.

 

FMLL!!! i was taking the torque mount bolts off the transmission side of the chassis and the bolts didn't snap they just started spinning... so i'm guessing the one welded inside broke off... WTF DO I DO NOW

 

Weird...chassis torque mount bolt holes are threaded on the frame on both sides of my 93 hatch. Dont have a welded nut on the opposite side where you cant get to them. Dont understand why honda would even do that? Doesnt make much sense.

If thats true...cut the head of the bolt off or drill it out

 

got a dumb question, my friend has an h22a and h22a1 basemap. some local tuner wants $100 for a basemap lol **** that. Will any of these two basemaps work for an h22a4 or do I need the specific a4 basemap??

 

nice good luck with the build. see your from MA. what part??

 

The north shore, you from here?

 

used to be in dracut. the family is from lowell orginally tho. live in jacksonville fl now because of the navy.
