[ghettogeddy]

that just shortens the rod not the through right

[Pico]

that just shortens the rod not the through right

I think since the angle of the rod is cut down and rewelded in place the throw will be different also. where if you just cut the shifter shorter and rethread the shaft for the knob the throw would be the same.
Does that sound right?

[Joay]

Considering the elbow and pivot look to be in the same place, how is that any different from just cutting down the shifter and rethreading it?
Still shortens the throw slightly but that's not what everyone thinks of as a short shifter.

Thats what im not sure about, you guys are possibly correct, and if there is no difference at least my shift rod will sit lower and feel better when shifting IMO

[Pico]

Just came back from a short drive, there is a difference in shifting and the way the shifter sits is way better than stock height.
I'm real happy with it. (I need to clean the dust out of interior)

[89T]

the shifter has a shorter throw, it can be modified again to accommodate what you guy's are all saying also.
I am happy with my shifter and i feel it does me right even at the drag strip.

Pico are you truly happy with what you got and did i mislead you in any way?

I'm very Happy and no you didnt mislead me at all
Feels so much better when I shift, and the throw is different than stock.

I've done it so much that it only took me less than 30min this time.

[AndrewSi]

what kind of paint are you using? heard SEM paint works and sticks pretty well.

[Pico]

what kind of paint are you using? heard SEM paint works and sticks pretty well.

I ended up using Krylon Fusion paint this 2nd time around. I've used it before on other pieces and it's worked great.
My wife painted the dash over 2 years ago with some generic paint we had laying around and it held up real well, but was a little too shiny for me. Thats the only reason why I decided to redo it with a satin finish this time, besides it's perfect weather here in Vallejo today for painting.

[Civic Accord Honda]

sweet! and yeah every ac condenser i have removed had a crap load of shit in it!

[Hazwan]

Krylon Fusion Satin Black FTW. And CAH, my AC condenser don't have any craps in it :p

[-$MOKIN-]

SOrta like a redo eh. And yes much faster when youv done it twenty times. Like the first time i swapped my dash. Didnt swap wires in it and had to take it back off. :rocket:
And i like the paint man. I like the satan over gloss too . Cant wait to see final install pics.








:devil:

[87roach]

Looks killer pico, nice choice!! Can't wait to see it all back in there; how many coats? How did you prep it?

[Pico]

Looks killer pico, nice choice!! Can't wait to see it all back in there; how many coats? How did you prep it?

went over it with a Scuff pad lightly, and gave it 2 coats total.
I spent more time last nite putting it back in,just so the wires would be neatly tucked up under the dash
Finished and Installed Late last night.

[Pico]

son of a turd burgler you need a paint booth on the side of the house so he can paint my hood lol
the original plan was to build a work/shed booth on the side of the house when we first moved in, but we changed our minds on that for the time.
We were going to use the garage to paint my car, but the fumes alone from painting just the bumper is still lingering around.
I now have a spray booth that I can rent next to my friends shop for 150.00 for a weekend, so thats were we will be painting the car at

Chip Foose...DAMN LOL

Update
Well It's time for me to go a different direction with the car. I'm putting her away for awhile until I decide what to do with her. I'm slowly losing interest in the car and torn between getting motivated enough to finish her up or just getting rid of her. I just dont have the time and money to do the things I want with the car. So for now I have taken the insurance off and not registered the car, I'll store her on the side of the house for now and hopefully in the future I'll get back on the car.
Thanks to everyone on here for the inspiration and input thru these past few years.
I'll still be around and wont be going nowhere.

I did something similar with my Accord. I still drove the car just so it didn't constantly sit, but I was always working on the BMW and doing something else.

Yup it's true, she's sittin on the side of the house resting for a long while


I did something similar with my Accord. I still drove the car just so it didn't constantly sit, but I was always working on the BMW and doing something else.

I still have the 88 Accord which I drive daily, so it's not like i'm out of the 3G game

aw man.

nah dont worry. The break will do you go and youll start getting ideas and come refreshed with what you want.


One word of advice though. I dont know how insurance are in Cali but when I used to put my car away for the winter I just changed my insurance to just theft/vandalism. It only cost a couple of dollars a month plus it was always good for piece of mind. There used to be alot of thieves where I used to live and even though it stayed locked in a detached garage right behin my house I thought the extra coverage was necessary.




ANyway. Now its time to start making the big plans. :D

[MessyHonda]

awww...mr pico....we can still come over tho right?

I'll look into the theft/vandalism on the car, thanks for the tip.
If all goes well next year, Hopefully I'll be showing a new and improved Accord.

How are you doing roodoo?
Im trying my best to keep this car on the road, Finally got her smogged and registered after sitting for 8 months.
Lots of plans hopefully in the very near future.

I was reading up on Legend Master's write up on this and realized that since I'm back at my old job at the parts warehouse and I'm the purchasing agent
that I could do this.
So the rotors I ordered are standard rotors for a 88 Legend with the Hubs redrilled to 4 X 100 bolt pattern. The tech at the company I deal with told me to also look at the rotors that come off of a VW Corrado G60 and that they would fit, but I went ahead with the Legend rotors.
I'll should have the rotors next week.
Here's a Pic of the Type-R Calipers that I got from work and the link to

I'm glad I got my interest back in the car.
Total project cost was under $200.00


Nice upgrades guys, it looks way beefier then before.

Give an update after you been driving around for a bit.
I like the way the car stops, I had to bend back the backing plate a little this morning because it was rubbing on the rotor. Thats fixed and all is good.
I need to save up and look for a rear disc setup and do the Legend upgrade on that too and stopping power will rock.

Our 3rd gen clutch cable next to a 2nd gen teg cable, what a difference.

And the way it cleans up the area in front of the valve cover when it's moved behind the valve cover

I'd love to boost my car I just dont want to deal with cali smog laws, so for now she stay as she is

[89T]

Man cali seem's so cool when you live in the middle of the country. but then again you get cancer driving you'r car to work "in cali".

[Civic Accord Honda]

looks great pico!

[Honda_Hobby]

nice!

[import racer]

So we can use the clutch cable from a 90-93 teg on our cars is that right.Bet that would save some money too.

awesome thanks man.

Did you clear coat that aluminum or polish it at all? Otherwise it will just corrode and become unsightly.. then again you live in cali so never mind!

I gave a quick polish, Im thinking about painting it,

[88lxi-shortram]

thats a sweet battery and the mounts not that bad either dude .... but just curious how much did it cost over all? i need a new battery and i wouldnt mind something small and out of the way.... im on a tight ass budget so hopefully you know were i can find one as cheap as possible

[Pico]

Thanks.
I picked up the mount on eBay it was $39.00, the battery I purchased thru my work and I paid $129.00 for it.

[88lxi-shortram]

dam thats not bad... but how much do you think it would be for someone who cant buy it through work? cuz ive gone through 2 cheap autozone batteries cuz they are small but they fry out very easily. and now i realize the money i spent on those two batteries i could have bought one like yours. but do you have the model number and all of that info so i could go searching for one? cuz ive wasted to much money,time and break downs to go get another battery and then have to go back 2 months later.

this link should take you to a pic of why i need a small battery
http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/743/fitmentissue.jpg

[Pico]

search ebay for the Odyssey Battery, I picked up model PC680MJT, they have a standard PC680 which is cheaper

[88lxi-shortram]

ok thx dude i looked it up and its like 140 for the batery and the mounts like 50 but i may be able to make one at home so thx alot dude

[2ndGenGuy]

Man Pico, that is looking hot! Of course, your car always looks hot!

Thanks roach and CAH

I'm going to repaint them next chance I get. I painted them on the car with Duplicolor brush on paint, Ive used it before and have good luck with it.
I just want to get a few more good coats on them

[russiankid]

Pico, take off your rotor and paint the portion of the hub where it usually rusts. Would look a lot better, but looks good so far!

[MessyHonda]

most of the pics have broken links in the early pages

[Pico]

I moved the pics around in my photobucket acct and forgot to correct the links. On another note, the car has developed a real bad short somewhere. Battery drain and now when I turn in the defroster,lights or anything that draws power the lights dim and the stereo cuts off. I'm going to post another thread on some help later when I get the chance.
