Today edition of Sunday Mechanics (56k)

[MarioBurke]

We'll today was sweet day at the Pick and Pull junk yard! Got up first thing this morning and went to find some intake pipes and a few other things. we got back and went straight to work on the carbuerator

we are replacing it with the air box from the fuel injected 88 civic.



I was sort of hesitant to do this mod because of the damn California smog law, but you don't really change much. and I saved everything incase i need to put it all back.

Then i threw in this MSD ignition coil. My original plan was to use it to make the spark for the flame in the exhaust. and yeah I know everyone thinks its rice, but its old school and i wanna try it. but I couldnt get it to work for whatever reason. think the coil needs too much power to run. so anyway just tossed it in there


last I slapped on some new emblems and plastic peices on the hood and eye lids. mine were cracked and primered

[L3G10N]

nice dude, don't give up!
I like the accord in the molding

[k-roy]

Nice work, I just picked up the same intake. What is the size of the hole you cut? Nice rims too, what type are they? Also is that a speaker next to the emissions box? Sorry for the 20 questions game, Im just curious.

[MarioBurke]

well we made a carboard template for this one, but I dont remember the exact measure ment. i can go look at it later and find out. the rims are Katana's but i dont know what series, and the speaker is for the PA/CB system.

[blazin3gen]

dude the accord emblem on the black trim is so pimp im gonna do that lol

[NXRacer]

i'm not liking the H on the door, but that accord on the moulding is pimp. thats one of the best logo relocation ive seen in a long while.

I'm SO glad that speaker isnt for a fake blowoff........

[adams86lxi]

looks good! keep up the good work!

[i.c.]

dude, your lip is awsome...

[wprocomp]

hey man did you cut your hood bracing to get the civic peice to fit?

[iloveJDMblackrims69]

WOW i must say ur car looks GOOD..........please take the "H" off tho...accord looks freakin sweet man.....love it tho!

[MarioBurke]

thanks for all the compliments. that kinda sucks nobody likes the H though, cause its kinda THERE. drill holes there so unless i bust out the bonda which I REALLY dont feel like doing anymore, the H's will stay. I bonda all day at the body shop. Yeah i cut a chunk of it out. it makes the top of the hood a lot easier to dent or cave but since i have the hood scoop partially bondo-ed on there it keeps its fairly sturdy. that as I said before was the 86 lip that fell off the first time i put it on. but I came back and fixed that bitch on there. my next plan is still get the exhaust flame and to put that hydrolic hood support in. I saw somebody on here do it once and for the life of me I cant find it. can somebody else find it for me. i would greatly appreciate it!

[A20A1]

Maybe a "3GEEZ.COM" sticker after the "H" thats about the same height.

[PogiLXI]

is that a speeker in there????????

[MarioBurke]

I already have a 3 geez.com sticker on my right rear window. beside im prolly not going to put stickers on the paint, because i will have to replace them when i do eventually paint it.

[blazin3gen]

about the H if its yo style then roll with it man i actually think it looks alright but the Accord on the Molding looks Great man im gonna do that

[Art 1]

Accord on molding = nice
H below it = ugh!
But, whatever blows your skirt up.
I'm also diggin' the wheels.
Nice.

[Art 1]

Oh, I'm also diggin' the chick in your avatar. I would also like to half-ass shocker her: :super: Shyeah.

it is??? so you can yell at people from inside ur car???

[Bloodlust]

It's looking pretty good. For probably the 5th time said, I like the accord on the moulding. Keep up the good work!!

[89cordlx]

Are those hood pins functional? Get some pics of how they're installed if they are.

[MarioBurke]

yes they are functional. I dont have a hood latch because it doesnt work. I will get some pictures when I go outside and work on my car.. ..

[MarioBurke]

OK i finally got under the hood today. i was changing the upper motor mounts. the ones on the torque bar. so I also took those pictures of the hood pins, here they are. nothing special. Just mounted into the upper core support. there is room between the side of the support and the condensor. I took my condensor and ac pump out so there is lots of room!!




hopefully this will give you some idea as to where to drill and mount!

[PortugalFocus]

Accord looks great on the molding
Hood pins look great......
The lip is rediculous! I love it
MSD rocks

Just loose the H on the hod like everyone says

But superb job on the A20
