Portland, Seattle, Washington, Oregon Meet!!! June 20, 2009 PIR

how did that happen

i find it humbling to walk the local junkyards not for parts but for the crnage of accidents and misue. I found a 91 prelude with a b20a5 in it and it looks amazingly like the pics. When I walked by and saw the car in mint shape i had to pop the hood. One look revieled why it was there. Ive seen windowed blocks usually from a broken rod or snapped crank. Ive never seen a full piston sticking out of the block and thus it became picture worthy. It costa dollar to get in and its about 15 minutes north of me. Not a huge yard maybe 20 acres but still lots of fun.

Oh no pics yet but the wiring is nearly complete. I need to tie the fan switch in on the radiator, figure out how to resecure the wiring loom on the back of the block without the factory intake. I retorqued almost everything as the project has been going so long I soulnt remember what was tight and what was loose. The DC strut tower brace is installed and looks great with the edelbrock intake. Its too bad my 70mm TB wont work.

Hopefully Ill get the wewlding done and the interior wiring installed and well see what happens.

I'm really hoping that I can get the hatchy all fixed up, and ready for the meet. I'll still be coming even if I don't have it running, but it'd kinda suck to have to drive there without it.

Bitesize, i was installing the led gauges finally tonight and one of the resistors on the top is broken off the solder. Is there a way you can fix it at the meet? i cant solder and dont want to learn on something like this. would you need it removed from the car or does it matter to you? Thanks man.

One day closer to the meet. One less day I have to be sure my car is ready for the meet. Its going to be very close definatly down to the wire.

lol, reminds me of my old motor from a few years ago...

I can fix it.

the resistot itself broke the lead on the housing so youll need another resistor. I cant remember the color code but i can get back to you with it if youd like. Thanks yo

I can still fix it.

i dont remember the order but it was red brown purple gold bands. I know it matters in the true resistance but if you need the order let me know. Im sure your such a pro you remember off the top of your head anyways.

Almost 1 week till we come!!

Fuck I need to call a hotel in the area.

your not the only one here john. the good news is the b20a breathed life finally after 5 years in the garage dormant. I need to figure out the trtansmission issue and Ill be set. I want to see how mine ompares to the rest of accords out there

Gotta get that baby on the Dyno, right next to my B20A! We'll see if the single Weber is restrictive or not. Or if I'm really just shit at tuning the carbs!

damn a week away. WELL if i dont get this wire soon...I WONT be running fucking sucks.

single weber hell what about those idividual carbs you posted pic of that what ill come to see.

I still haven't gotten the measurements to Mike yet to finish my manifold for those carbs. So we won't be seeing them at the meet. I'm trying to focus on getting the car safe to drive down there first. The wheel bearing noise was so bad I didn't even want to test and tune the carb. I had to replace that stuff first, let alone trying to drive it to Portland!

Messy, who all is staying in your room. Turabaka and I'll sleep on the floor and chip in some dough.

Once you get this sorted out, can I give you coin and stay there? Or where are you planning on renting?
