Well, since yesterday was Vallentine’s Day, or as I like to call it, Singles Awareness Day. I had plans to have the girl come over and have a nice night at the house, home cooked meal and a nice movie.
But I got home at 4:00 PM and she wouldn’t be there until 8:00, so I played the how much can i tear down this engine to prepare it for removal… Got pretty far until I realized that I still needed my friend’s crane, haha so I mobbed over and picked it up. Got home with 30 minutes to spare, so i cleaned up.
Here’s how far I got…
Just a few more clips, unbolting the trans and hook that bitch up, pull her heart out and start again on the other car!
Cheers!
Ok, so I got the accord done a week ago!
Took a lot longer than I wanted, working over 60 hours a week lately with both jobs. Busy is an understatement haha Plus the Girlfriend just broke up with me today through text… haha so… more time for the car haha
Here is the intake to the blown engine… wonder why it blew? Bahaha
Before and After I cleaned it.
And just a little colage of all the work. lol
Also, got my rims powder coated.
And I bought a welder and got my exhaust the way I wanted it, my welding is shit, but I’m teaching myself LOL
Sounds good, and the way i want it to… Until I get bored of it haha
Tires are a little tall but i’m fine with them for now. I’ll get shorter/less wider tire so i can stretch it a little bit and get a bit lower. But for now, i’m happy where it sits.
Oh, so i forgot I bought cheapo pads, so they’re breakdusting like a mother. And making my rims dusty as hell.
So I bought this yesterday…

Will see how they do, will definitely be an upgrade compared to my shit stock setup.
How it’s sitting as of now…
The brakes are working great, though if you do get them, i would consider going to a better pad. These are a tiny bit dusty, and having white rims makes it look worse haha
Now to pull the motor and trans and clean the bay and inspect the engine to prepare it for boost!
Then after, isntall my new (to me) trans and get rolling again!
So… Parts day and this is how excited I was!
I will take more detailed pictures and explain my ideas i have, but here’s the overview of all that came.
Was tearing down the engine preparing to pull it, so I figured I’d try a test fit… haha
