So…
I’ve been looking for a daily so i can just start tearing the Integra apart.
Turns out my friend was selling his car, a 1992 Honda Accord ex 4 door. The cool part of it all?
It was my very first car when i was 16. I spent 2 weeks of my summer replacing the engine in it by myself, and modded it like any other 16 year old, put a sound system in with no alarm and a fart cannon from Schuck’s/O’reilley’s haha I sold it to my friend for $2000 and always regretted selling it.
So now that you have that back story, here’s the present.
Friend came to me asking if i was interested in it since I’m always working on cars and if i wasn’t he was gunna junk it. Car had new tires, new stereo system and a few things here and there, just had a blown engine… So i offered him $350 and he said all he wants is the new tires and its a deal. I later decided to try oversized bearings… still knocks, least i can drive it around the block/driveway now :thumbup:
So plan is to get an engine and plop it in and make it my daily.

Update 01/14/13[/SIZE]
So I found a donor car over the weekend! It’s also a 92 accord 4 door ex, except a 5 speed.
Found it for really really cheap…
Engine sounds and runs superb.
Downside? Front end collision, clean title still though!
Since my accord has a few minor things, i’m going to of course switch some stuff over like the doors, the passenger fender, the driver seat. Minor shit like that.
Hopefully I can find some time between my two jobs so i can pull the motors, some things on the engines since ones an auto and the other is a manual i will have to switch over the throttle bodies and a few other things. Hopefully I can do it all on Sunday since I don’t work at all that day… who knows.
Here are the cars…
Main car:
Donor car:
Got a lot of work ahead of me, but it will be so nice commuting back and fourth to work with an automatic!
Then I can start tearing down/detailing/cleaning the Integra and start building the engine!
Have a good one folks!
