Welcome tot he site. Looks like a solid car! Oh and welcome to the foundation!

[Civic Accord Honda]

nice car!

oh and why would u replace the motor becuase of the crank seal? the one in the 91 one blew a couple weeks ago and has been leaking since (and will leak until the timing belt gets done.. ) but imo just replace the seal and the engine should be fine (unless theres other problems that i am unaware of with the motor if thats the case then ignore every thing i just said ;) )

Aside from the little side of rice that car looks great, it'll clean up real well. CAH made a good point, the crank seal doesn't mean the motor's done so you may be able to keep it.

:welcome:

well i figured to get it back on the road asap, best route would be to find a lower K motor.I definetly will be rebuilding a motor in the future.

Crank seal aint the only thing goin on, i have no 5th gear, got the car with that issue. It just is like a second neutral?? So i got my work cut out for the time being.

rims are 17'' Speedy racing Lite 7's
I decided to steal these rims off of my Sr20det 1990 240sx, which needs a turbo. They look 10x better on the accord anyways !

Looks good man!!, i woulda gone with some Hella or autopals head lights as the cheaper ones tend to leak as they get older so you might want to look in to that some time down the road but since you allready bought thoughs mind as well get some use out of them and use them until the bulbs go bad ;)

and yeah my 3g had the that lovely 2nd nuetral as welll !!!
and if you plan on rebuilding the current engine then getting another engine to throw in defently sounds like a good idea

keep us updated and keep up the good work!

awsome dude thanks !, ill keep that in mind. . . these lights arnt so bad, they have the removable H4 bulb, so its just a matter of keeping the lense sealed. Also was planning for an HID kit later on, so projector is the way to go for now anyways. . .

[GraniteLXI]

Nice progress, I kinda like the subtle blue lighting on the floor although it could be a bit dimmer in my opinion but thats just me :p All-n-all lookin good. And wow those new headlights are quite a bit brighter haha.

[MessyHonda]

yeah you do...these cars need a good 5th gear...unless you want to rev your engine till 4k just to go 60mph

[2drSE-i]

lol 2nd neutral.

[danny nr crew]

damn nice car man im liking the interior and rims u got and i also have the blue leds in my car

[snoopyloopy]

5th gear is pretty simple to change, you don't even need to drop the tranny out the car.

[LX-incredible]

Nice, all you need now is a wing...

[87Dragon]

Nice, all you need now is a wing...

[Pico]

Agree!!
what direction are you planning in going with the car?
Hate to say it but some on here will agree with me that the direction your going is RICE!
LX is right all you need is the wing too set it off

[mushroom_toy]

:crying:

[Nafs Asdf]

Yea, until you actually have mugen or spoon parts on the car, get those stickers off.

[2drSE-i]

Nobody is tryin to just rag on you or your car man, We are just lookin out for you. But honestly, what your doing to your car is kinda 90's Fast and Furious if you ask me.

[MessyHonda]

stickers give you like 50hp

[Civic Accord Honda]

yall should chill tho dont need to scare him away.. it is his car now so if he likes stickers and stuff let him do it .. but once hes here for a while and starts seeing some of the members cars on here maybe he will change directions..

i like the direction your taking with the interior man keep up the work and dont let people scare ya away, im not a fan of the mugen and spoon stickers(woulda been in 2006 tho) but everything else looks good, keep up the work

[2drSE-i]

yall should chill tho dont need to scare him away..

Didnt work on you :kekeke:



but once hes here for a while and starts seeing some of the members cars on here maybe he will change directions..


That did tho...

[danny nr crew]

im not gonna lie i also have some crap painted on my car but that was when i first got the car but now ima jus paint everything back to how it was
but yea keep up the work ur car not ours do wat u like to do

[87Dragon]

not really lookin to start any bad blood here, they are companies asosiated with Honda, just cus a few of you got opinions (which im not against) dosnt mean i have to make my car look like yours, its all personal prefrence, i havnt dissed anybodys ride here so i expect the same, expessially being a new member, some of you guys just need to chill, im not here to stir shit up. . . .seriously !

[87Dragon]

wut would it mean if my oil light was flashing , but i had the right amount of oil ?? all i can think is that my oil pump was going, im thinkin it might be more cost effective to fix my current motor rather than chance a wrecker, wuch u guys think?

[headbanger]

I think its yor car do with it what you will.You cant live your life trying to please other people.
Opinions are like buttholes everyone has one.I like your interior though it looks good.I got a few stickers on mine most of them advertise bands though.

Might be oil pump if you change it I would go ahead an do water pump,timing belt an tensior why you are in there just my 2 cents.

Low oil pressure. It could mean a bunch of things. Did it do this after taking a turn fast? It could also mean your oil was low, your pump couldn't pick up any oil (it was all in one side of the pan, fast turn situation), or your pump is starting to go out.

Your car is dieing of rice poisioning. It would probably be more cost effective to transfer your special hong kong stickers and leds to a 92-95 civic. We will miss you...

:flip: thats really to bad, im sorry you feel that way lol

ya i know about the fast turn situation. . .lol , but the light usually goes out after , it was just always on. The motor has like 387,000km's so its gotta be the oil pump then. . . thx

[Civic Accord Honda]

if the oil light is on tho you only have 3 psi... so if you have been driving it with the oil light on im sure the motor is pretty fucked now, and it would be a wiser choice to grab one from a junkyard and install it
