New Car...

[Money Pit]

So a friend told me about this site because I just bought a 86 LXi Hatch thats 5 speed as a project car. I want to make this baby stand out the kid I bought the car from really did some bad mods like he cut the springs and put some strobes in the dash but I dont want little things like that deture me from this car. A basic idea of what I want to do it this.

17's I already have these I just need tires
Air Ride they make a kit on www.airbagit.com
Full body kit

not sure what i want to do as far as motor so give me ideas

Any pics?

[Money Pit]

Not yet I need to get a new camera but I will get some posted up asap. I was talking to the guy at the local import shop and he said he would be willing to go at a swap but he said it wouldnt be cheap and if I did that he would go for the H22 or a B18 but idk I dont want to get to deep motor wise right now.

Welcome here and post some picks for us

Yea H22 would be a killer, but its just to much work and money to make this happen, so just stick to simple stuff for now.

Welcome! It's always good to have another enthusiast (or soon to be enthusiast) on the board.

[MessyHonda]

cool.....hope t works out

[Money Pit]

Yeah I have a little money saved up I just got out of high school and I have my 96 Prelude that got rear ended so thats why I was thinking of doing the H22 but nothing for sure. I just wanted to think of all possibilitys before jumping into anything. Terry said that he could probally modify H22 mounts for a CRX he said the engine bay look a lot alike. He said that he seen a turbo on one of the A20 when he went to California in a Prelude and it was dynoed at 340ish at 14psi. He dont remember exact numbers. I want something that when completely is said and done looks good and runs like a mid 13 just a fun daily driver ya know.

Hi, and welcome to the board. Probably a good thing for you to get used to navigating the site. Check out the Search function up on the top bar. There's tons of reading you can do there.

Are you needing to drive this car while you fix it up?

[Money Pit]

K so I got some pics of it so if someone could explain how to put them on that would be great lol

[Tomisimo]

Hope this helps.

oh wow.... shes seen beter days!!

your gona ditch that scoop and paint the rims black right ?!?!?!

[86ccord]

daaamn that shit is pimp.

[Money Pit]

Yeah im going to ditch those red spray painted wheels I have a set of split 5 spoke rims Im going to throw on as soon as I get some tires for them. The motors are burnt out for the headlight Im going to do the 5th gen prelude lights conversion I have a pretty good idea of what Im going to do as far as exterior and interior....

E.D. Bomber Body Kit
Z3 Fenders
OEM Carbon Fiber Hood
Carbon Fiber Mirrors
Carbon Fiber Wing
17" Split 5 Spoke Rims
Air Ride Suspension via air struts to get that 3 wheel motion lol
09 Chevy Malibu Taillight Conversion(I think these are badass)
Tinted Windows
Shaved Door Handels
Shaved Antana
Shaved Rear Lisense Plate Box
Flush Mount Tilt Plate Box
Dodge Viper Blue Paint Job
Maybe some Mild Black Tribalish Graphics
Suicide Doors
Blue LED Underglow

Im going to do some basic repairs the car needs first like the passenger side window is off track and wont roll up and needs new front brakes really bad before anything crazy but I will most likely get the rims and air ride on before anything because the kid i bought the car from just cut the springs a crazy amount with stock struts so it is bouncy like no other lol. Then I will start with the body mods. Im still not too sure what to do as far as the motor I have the H22 out of my old prelude that is why i was thinking about doing the swap but I did some looking and I only found like two H22 3rd gen accords but if I stay with the A20 it will be turboed for sure this is a car I would like to have not down for a long time but when it comes to the motor and stuff I know that is going to take some time but that isnt that big of a deal because I have my old 454 chevy truck and my grand prix gtp to get around so its not a issue as far as interior...

I have a set of Black/blue APC racing seats
black/blue momo or sparco wheel
blue 5 pt harness
basic 4pt roll cage(mostly just for looks and mounting of harness)
all plastic sprayed black
back seat reupolstryed to match front
blue door inserts(cloth part, match seats)
blue rear quarter inserts(match seats)
blue headliner(match seats)
reverse glow gauges
custom sub box

I already have all the audio out of my old prelude im going to put in the accord this is what I have for a set up

2- 15" Rockford Fosgate T2 Subs
2- T1500.1 Rockford Fosgate Amp
2 Pair Rockford Fosgate Power 6.5" Speakers
T600.4 Rockford Fosgate Amp
2- Rockford Fosgate 2 Farad Cap
7" Flip Out Touch Screen In Dash DVD

When I had this in the prelude I hit 151.3dB in a box that was too small and with the back seat up so it will just be plain crazy in the hatch I think im going to go to a junk yard and get all the control arms and trailing arms and have them painted to match the car. When I have the car painted the guy will do all the jams, engine compartment, interior, undercarage, and of corse the exterior. but like I said earlyer im still not sure what i should do for the motor so you guys should give me your two cents. Also tell me what you think of my plan so far

[Rendon LX-i]

BOI O BOI...soundsl like you have a plan....doing all that thou is alittle steep. just repaint. lower it. get some rims oem nice honda wheels. some basic mods.....Would love to see it happen. THou knowing people...having the shit you say you dont do.....now it time to prove yourself.....

TOok me what a good 4 years to even get where im at now..and ive done a shit load.

[GraniteLXI]

Jesus that's a hell of a grocery list! Hope it all works out, the car looks pretty poor in its current state...TLC ftw! I Look forward to seeing it improve.

Also got any pics of your old lude before it got into the accident?

[Money Pit]

Yea I know that it all takes time I bought my old prelude two weeks before my 14th birthday before I could even drive and I have 4 and half years into that car working at pizza hut now that im in the airforce and have the money to make things happen a little faster i wont let the time factor discourage me like it does for a lot of people I love the car even though its not in the best condition right now, so I know im going to stick with it. Im know I have some pictures somewhere of the prelude if I run across them I will scan them into my new laptop most of them got lost when my laptop crashed but I know I have some somewhere, and you think the accord is in bad shape you should have seen my chevy when i bought that it was a piece now it has 8" lift 39" superswampers and a fuel injected 454 bored to a 468, hooker headers, 3" dual exhaust, edelbrock aluminum heads, and a .584"/.592" cam im thinking of getting a supercharger kit for it
