OK those are the pics, the first few pics are of the manifolds because I wanted to point out that they are a different design! The Harness from MY cars original motor would not plug into the sensors on the NEW manfold! So I just used my old manifold and everything is going smooth now. As far as the pacesetter header goes, how do I plug that big ass hole in it? I think its for a carburated car....

[Civic Accord Honda]

looks good man!

[MessyHonda]

go to the dealership and order a manual trans fill bolt...the 17mm one...it fits perfect into the A/S hole on the paceshitter....i tired it my self...and i was happy to find something.

[labeledsk8r]

looking good man, about time you got off the civic and spent some time on this... keep it up

[UnforgivenPyro]

Looks really good, cant wait to see it when its finished.

[ZackieDarko]

i dont see the rear discs i sent j00

[BITESIZE]

Nice valve cover.

[mushroom_toy]

Cant wait to see what ya do to it man. Champ white ftw.

[GraniteLXI]

I love the valve cover, nice shade of red :cheers: cant wait to see the results

[87roach]

[ChaseR]

the rear discs are in the garage..

[speedpenguin]

I love seeing engine install pics. That is going to look great when it's all done.

[ChaseR]

great, the car runs albeit a bad voltage regulator but the 5 spd transmission that "B20Lude" Or whoever from North Carolina is BROKEN!!!! 5th gear is gone and 3rd gear is on its last legs.. I bought this thing like a year anda half ago and just now got around to putting it in, I feel cheated and everytime I see this guy is selling somthing I will make it a point that He sells bad shit. He swore up and down when I was in Iraq that the tranny was good. Fucking liar, all this work only to have to turn around and get another tranny and start over. wtf

Man that sucks. Dropping the tranny isn't hard, i got mine off and back on in about 4 hours with the help of my brother. Looks great otherwise, running good or still some bugs to work out?

[MessyHonda]

yeah they fixed it and adjusted the clutch at the same time

[ChaseR]

My alternator is still not charging I had to drive it in 4th gear nearly 300 miles while my friend drove my Si, WE had to stop and charge my battery at least 3 times for 30 minutes straight to limp my shit home. I am so pissed.

[Cheeseburger]

could it be a wire or ground thats not hooked up right?

[ChaseR]

I have checked everything yes for nearly a full day ^ I think its the voltage regulator

[russiankid]

Did you check for any kinks in the wiring going to the alt? If all fails try another alt.

[02GTP]

looks good. and im not normally a fan of civics but that black debadged one with tint and rims looks really really good. im impressed.

[ChaseR]

Thanks it impresses Me everyday too.

[GraniteLXI]

Damn, all that work and you had to limp the thing home...thats horrible. The car does look good, too bad those problems made it a prick to bring it back. It will be a nice ride once you get em taken care of. :)

[ChaseR]

View of my Si Charging my LXi battery.. Since it's too impotent to do it itself.
http://www.hispeedchase.com/charging.jpg

Both Are lowered on progress springs!!! Which are AWESOME!

Also here is a shot of the REAR disc brakes which look sick... Oh and please ignore the cancer, the car is going on this summer for chemo and some fresh paint, championship white!

http://www.hispeedchase.com/charge2.jpg

Thanks Zackie!

[BITESIZE]

Sorry to hear about the bad news. It's good to see you finally working on the 3gee.

[ChaseR]

lol why does everyone keep saying "finally"...

[russiankid]

Looks good besides the cancer. I wish i had rims to show off my rear disc's:(

[ChaseR]

^thanks man I cant wait to get the body work done.

[russiankid]

^thanks man I cant wait to get the body work done.

I need to start on mine as well. Don't have snow in the South, but up North i'm going to have snow...:)

[GraniteLXI]

Love the white rims, looks sweet :cheers:

[Hazwan]

I like the wheels. Can't wait for the paintjob!

[ChaseR]

I bought the car on eBay from Pennsylvania... it snows there.. had it been a texas car I would have been ok too.

[coope]

Wait so u took the motor out to put on a header and a valve cover and a manifold OOOOkk!!!! what else r u doin and please clean that engine bay for God sake

[A18A]

I believe teh engine has been rebuilt

[MessyHonda]

its coming together at last.

[BITESIZE]

lol why does everyone keep saying "finally"...

Because I sold you that valve cover forever ago!:Owned:

[ChaseR]

come on now, Why would you ask that? no the motor was rebuilt and it took me a year bacause the car was at my parents house and I live in the barracks 200 miles away. Taking it out to put a few things on it would be like wiping before you poop. It just doesn't make any sense.

[russiankid]

Oh, mine came from Missouri i believe and spent most of its life in Texas. Then went to Louisiana, and now it will go to Pennsylvania.

It's really not a POS I love it, Ordered My custom plates for it too..

"B4-VTEC", Should get a few laughs.

[87roach]

Haha love the plate name, thats great! Sounds like a nice list you have, the 3g should be wicked when you get it back! Make sure to get some pimp quality photos of the new paint too.

New Exhaust, OEM style.. trying to keep quiet.

[2oodoor]

never heard anything back from when it went off to the dealer for work.
nice exhaust!

yeah its done now, just working out the bugs (bushings, no heat, etc..) and trying to get a good deal on a paint job.

Thinking about getting, the ST away bars.. I don't like body roll (which is not so bad now with the current suspension and LXi stock sway bars).. The tokicos with the progress springs ride really well.. I do not want anything to stiff because riding around in the Si for too long hurts my back because of how stiff the suspension and chassis is. lol, the Accord is the daily driver and comfort, decibels and MPG are what it's for.

your going to like the ST bars, I installed a rear one last night and with the rear lower tie bars that justin86 made that were already in the car the addition of the ST bar seems to have made a improvement in the handeling of the car.
I dont know if its just me but my steering also seems a little stiffer but that might just be me.

[ChaseR]

I have all of justins bars too, They are not installed yet though.

[MessyHonda]

install the bars and get the rear sway bar...i love my set up.

[ZackieDarko]

have you thought about geting a 4g rear sway? i belive it is 22mm...a 22mm rear paired with a stock front would reduce understeer quite a bit i would imagine


mmmmmm no understeer

[Pico]

the 4G bar mounting is fairly easy to do, you just need to drill some holes to get the new mounting brackets in place. when I did messy's I thought to my self damm it's gonna be a bitch to install, but the two of us installed it easily.
You wont be able to use Justins rear tie bars with the 4G bar, not enough room to mount them

[rustlude87]

ChaseR the accord is looking pretty cool keep up the work!

[rfiks]

Cool

[ChaseR]

Thanks guys, all my bushings and ball joints came in today, thats prob what i will be doing tommorow.

I want to paint the car but I need to wait until the market recovers, I can't justify spending that much when my losses are so great right now, I have not sold anything off hoping if I sit tight my stock will recover.

[87roach]

I hope the best for you but man.. things aren't looking that good.

[ChaseR]

Where is the ECU located? I have a stupid CEL and my heater doesnt work..

Ok so it blinks 12 times, EGR Lift Sensor (Exhaust Gas Recirculation)
..

[ChaseR]

I need to fix my heater core, damn thing has to be clogged.

[rustlude87]

do work son!!!!!

[speedpenguin]

Eh, you've got until like November before you need that, right?

[ChaseR]

Eh, you've got until like November before you need that, right?

yeah, lol

[87Dragon]

Nice rides, wicked job on the semi rebuild !

[ChaseR]

Ok well im going to Afghanistan in march next year. While Im gone the car is going to get painted.. now that mounts are availiable I want to put something simple in like a B16A2 (99 Civic Si) just to more or less "modernize" the motor. Get coilovers instead of tokicos on progress springs. Paint the car graphite gray pearl (New Honda color for 09), replace My brakes. And a bunch of other random things like some sway bars, camber kits and such.

[ChaseR]

I doubt it man, I have plans for an NSX once I get out of the Army and move onto my new job in Arizona.

[obdriver6]

Daaaaaaamn, NSX! Stepping up! lol

[ChaseR]
