lol i’d be nervous to run a compression test on this motor
you running the B18A??
b18b w/ OBD0…whoever put this engine together, as i’m seeing now, skipped some minor steps…i’m not impressed to say the least. cam seals, cam plug leaking oil…i’ve replaced so many hoses that shoulda been replaced during the supposed rebuild…ticked me off. i wont worry about the cam seals until i get the timing belt done, probably this summer. but i’ll prolly do the cam plug sooner. unless i get another car then i’ll break the car down and do it after work during the wk and w/e
Bought the cd of the 1993 Acura manual, printed myself a copy…man that was a lot of paper!
New leather shift knob from the 97 Type R, should go nice with the Password JDM red stitched boot
took the pic in my 07 Si…not the GSR (no leather)
pic installed
epic win
Yeah that setup looks good. I wonder how it feels though.
that’s what she asked -_-
A+ for you. Good job!
ok, been a little while since an update…
noticed an oil leak from the VTEC solenoid/distributor/cam seal so replaced all those. Good to go
bought an XSi leather wrapped steering wheel in nice condition but had it re-dyed black to “freshen it up”
Love my shifter set up
Installed an alarm and other necessary precautions and had a new Acura key cut.
have some strange rubbing sound coming from the passenger wheel well…looking into that. even tho I have only put 3k miles on this in almost a year, I LOVE driving this car!
Thinking about a Skunk 2 strut/coilover setup…I lowered on the OEM struts with 237k so… not doing so hot.
oh yeah, had to replace a dash bulb…got pissed at the speedo cable and yanked to hard trying to get slack and it … B R O K E
The needle was wobbling at 60-70 mph anyway so bought new one from dealer, $20 All good now.
Anyone know if the 94-01 Integra floor mats fit these?
very clean sir.amazing how much better it looked after the lights and rims.keep up the updates.
where did you get that new acura key?
I found a seller on ebay with a blank for $6
was told you can get from dealer after the fact.
i’m happy you finally got an alarm on that bad boy. makes me more comfortable lol
Beautiful car. Great job getting it back to new.
Where did you get the valve cover keychain?
thanks! another random eBay find…
Not to bite your style but i ordered the same key and same keychain off ebay.lol
found some cool non slip dash mats with honda logo on there to.like $4 bucks.
