i picked this up today for $1500. 1989 si b16ai already installed and just the basic bolt ons. the only thing is that it idles pretty high i was just wondering if anyones ever had this problem and can tell me what i need to solve it. it has no rear windshield but i found one on ebay for $150 all i need now is a passenger window and door panel then im good to go. its pretty gutted still have to remove the sound deadning **** but im in no rush just trying to straighten everytihng out. any opinions welcome.

 

did you adjust the throttle cable?

 

congrats man, good project car.

 

WTF happened to the car??
was it stolen and taken apart?? damn thats ugly

anyways waht does it says on the valve cover?? To low for a fat ???

not to bad considering it has a b16 and headers on it.... and 2 00 SI rims...and some sort of good mounts...
btw why the hell did the owner paint rolled the damn valve cover??

 

forgot to asnwer wthge question...
check the tightness of the trotle cable.
make sure the ignition its not advanced too much..
make sure u dont have a bad vacum leak, reset ecu and see if theres any codes.... make sure that TB screw its not all the way open... etc..

 

That is one ugly POS, but you already have a very good engine and the shell looks very nice. Great price on it, you'll be able to make something cool of it easily.

--By the way, are those like 22's on the back or something? I'm expecting to see the word Hoosier on those huge things.

Yah that is one huge POS, but thats a POS with a tight motor.! 1500, congrats dood.

 

theres a screw idle adjustment under the throttle plate. Check that.

 

the car wasnt stolen the kid just didnt take care of it. and he didnt paint roll the valve cover he shaved off the vtec and started polishing it.

 

i say the guy F'ed up on the vac lines.

 

header, not headERS! its not a v8.. anyway, id say its a great buy just for the motor and tranny, and then u get the car on top of it

 

the valve cover says too low for a fat ho (dont ask i didnt write it)
and if you look at the hood it says pimp (again i didnt write it)
thanks for all the suggestions im gonna try them out tomorrow and see what happens.

 

decnet start, but does need some

Check the vacume lines and the Idel skrew.

 

that cars not ugly, well aside from the hood and fenders, i say keep the car gutted replace the back glass with that FAL lightweight stuff (streetlegal) if you have the cash get a c.f hood or just paint the hood/fenders get 2 more SIR rims and itll look real nice. BTW is that mirror tint on the back? lose that ****! man the previous owner was a real ghetto riceboy! lol

 

not mirror tint its actually sheetmetal he mounted there for some unknown reason but he gave me the lower window that was supposed to be there and will be put back on.

 

just use lexan for the rear window

 

Nice "pimp" tag on the hood! haha

Good deal though

 

Did you sell the h22 ek?
Hehe , you guys should have seen his other car , you would $hit your pant's

 

what a mess.
nice motor though

 

hey dude i got a rear window for 20 if you pick it up.im located in nj.good luck with it!

 

HO??
lol, looks like a goo project car, just needs a paint job and a bit of work

edit: anybody else notice that 3" tip??

i actually still have the ek trying to sell it now for 13k. im probably just gonna re prime the whole car and leave it like that im lookin to keep it as un flashy as possible. i just got my other crx back from the body shop and am very disappointed in the job that was done so i gotta lot of fighting to do to get it right.

 

nice find! 1500 bux is good deal. and good call on the header/headers thing. never noticed that.

 

here is his other ride:
