Super cool man! Maybe I'll catch you at the Old School Meetup? Sounds like you're from the NW too https://www.facebook.com/events/767860303557741/
Re: Update on my 83 Project
I should be getting my upgraded / rebuilt engine next week. These past weeks, I have been tearing things down and gathering parts.
In a addition to the engine upgrade, I am:
- Installing a front 'Big Brake' upgrade (Calipers/Rotors) from 1988 Accord LXI. This includes all new wheel brearings and hubs
- new control arms, bushings, and mounts.
- Turned my PS Rack into a Manual (this was a fun project)
- Making a few adjustments to the rear disk setup (from a 1985 lude)
- Installing 2nd Gen Civic BC Coilovers
UPDATE: Photos of the PS delete on a refurbished rack.

For some reason the links to the photos were removed from the Post. Let's try this again.
As a side note. We will be fabricating strut bars for the front and rear. I'll post when we get to that point.

Wow. Cool flicks. Couple quick questions:
1. What is the tool you used to press in those new wheel bearings / hubs? I had to take mine to a machine shop.
2. What is all the custom metal and weld bead/etc in your BC Coilover photos? I can't quite make out what you used it for.

We used a standard front wheel bearing press tool kit
We had to weld sleeves onto the coilovers to make them fit an accord knuckle/spindle. These are not a direct fit and require modification to make them work.
