    Re: My 89 Accord LXi Coupe

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

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    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?

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

    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.

    View of my Si Charging my LXi battery.. Since it's too impotent to do it itself.


    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!



    Thanks Zackie!
