I like the wing. and does the webber carb get rid of emission controls?

well lets just say it got rid of a 30 gallon garbage can full of parts I did not need anymore.Originally Posted by tuxdreamerx
And no the weber kits do not eliminate all of the emission controls.
does it still run good in cold weather, or is it a PITA to get it right in cold weather?
that wing looks nice im lookin for osme thing simple like that for my coupe
<-- 89 LX-i -->
the, um.. spoiler
I just came across it, I would never recommend that particular spoiler as it was a PITA to get on. It came off a sc2 which is not quite flat across the back. There are several model and types of mustang spoilers that would be easy to install though, you have to measure your decklid and mounting space before you go to the JY. It needs to be a pretty much flat deck car you get it from. The rear of these sedans and coupes is much like the mustang, IMO.but make sure you measure first, I am not positive if they are not too wide.
No tux, the weber does not have any real PITA issue with cold, but my motor sure does
It takes about five minutes to get good and warmed up then it runs smooth.
For all the added benefits I sure wouldnt let that stop me from switching to a Weber.
Another spoiler option y'all might wanna consider would be a Pontiac Fiero wing. It mounts up well to a flat deck, it's straight across the back edge, and deep looking.
I was seriously considering one myself but didn't wanna have to modify one to make it look factory-ish.

A quick picture I took with phone yesterday. I really hate those 195/60/15 Visas tires on the front... Im taking them off soon.
Wow, this is the first I've seen of the roodoomobile in it's entirety! I like how it looks! Spoiler looks good on it too. Different, and yet it works very well on the car! Dig the black wheels with that color of paint too.
most of the tail end of the car is still sanded with 1000 grit
Very Clean Accord!

I SAY I SAY IT LOOKS GOOD THERE

I used to have a similar spoiler on my car.

im loving the backwards number plate. It looks like oiur plates now.. 2 letters 4 numbers, cept our numbers are the right way around
Hey Roodoo2, what is that on you adapter plate for the weber (looks like aluminum foil) ? Do you think running without the EGR is going to be a good thing? Trying to figure out if I want to run a plate over it or not. Running without EGR could make the combustion chamber run a little hotter & lead to a burnt valve. Not so sure that is safe, though it looks good for cleaning up the engine bay.
Edit- Your weber looks like it's mounted backwards, what's the reason behind that?

never had any issues in that area
on the adapter plate, after I put it all together I coated the whole thing in high heat epoxy, to make it all one piece with the manifold so to speak. It was not real pretty so I used some furnace tape and trimmed it up some. Still not real pretty but it works great, and even if the plates start to expand some there will not be any vacuum leaks. I got the idea from here, just did it a little differently.
damn..dunno how i missed this thread...
car is really clean roodoo...im definetly liking the wheel choice
Ok the LX has been waiting for attention and it got some today. It was leaking oil pretty good from under the timing cover (Oil pump confirmed), I was going to buy the whole pump but all it needed was new seals. $9 and some change from Honda. The O ring inside the two halfs of the pump had a split, hard and brittle. Very easy job once you get under the cover!
So yeah, and I got a cast valve cover, painted it with official Catipilar diesel yellow.(timing cover too) I am pleased how it turned out. I polished the fins before I painted it.. I will try to polish it more later.
I also installed the GE cam gear, adjusted the valves, retorqued the head, intalled new belt. A word of warning to you who have not installed your gears yet.. check to make sure the adjuster bolts are good and tight before you install, I forgot to and had to reset it, I caught it immediatley. Also do these Adjustru's make a little noise? mine seems to, I went and let some off the tensioner and still it whines like a gear drive but not as loud. Still have the gold top on until the paint dries and I find out what kind of fasteners I need for the cast cover, I am not sure the steel acorn nuts will work???I also need to decide if I am going to do a peeka boo cover,

These are the plugs after about 5000 miles, I am seeing rich out the tailpipe but these sure don't look rich, they went right back in!! I figure the rich signs I am getting may be because I do not have a FP regulator and it is getting fumes in the air mixture possibly. (weber 32/36)

Looking good. That is exactly what i did with my oil pump. Replaced the 3 seals in the pump, no leaks or any problems
P.S. Did you check the clearances while you were there? Also i don't see why the acorn style nuts wont work
