    Re: 87roach's 3g w.i.p. (lots of pics)

    so i have a white hatch with black bumpers, right? well each time i see a full size picture of your car it just kinda throws me for a loop subconsciously because at first i think i recognize my car, but then it's like *whoa* wait, my car doesn't look ANYTHING like that! =)

    i'm impressed man, you've got a thing for details that makes your car stand out above the rest.


    edit: and your sig doesn't do it justice!

    Re: 87roach's 3g w.i.p. (lots of pics)

    Well after portland it became apparent that my rear main took a real shit.. I couldn't afford it and payed for it with oil. There is oil spray all the way back to the gas tank and on everything... oi

    Amazingly the clutch never got touched, so I got enough coin to replaced the cv seals and rear main(honda, ouch $) oh and the oil pan was leaking too, got one from honda(70$ fuck).

    getting started






    covered in oil...


    nice and clean




    covered in oil like everything else...


    new clutch!


    Well so far I have got the tranny all ready, new seals in and release bearing. Just picked up the resurfaced flywheel so I can get everything back in there now. I adjusted the shifter so it wasnt so low maybe it will feel nicer. Just cleaning everything off and yea... should be all done tomorrow I hope and better not god damn leak!

    Did you just tell him he had a nice ass and car? Oh man, I knew something was up with you. haha.

    Nice progress Andrew. What the hell did you use to get that tranny so sparkly clean? Mine looks just like that first pic of yours (covered in sludge), but I don't have the time to spend cleaning it all out so nicely. Honestly I think I'll be in the exact same boat on the rear main too as I just re-used the old one and realized after it was in that I didn't grease the snot out of it. Fingers crossed, hopefully it'll at least hold up for a little bit.

    Yep, I'm still in awe of your car.

    Even taking the heat shielding off to clean, that's just what I would do! Good work.

    I always just attach the old pressure plate to the flywheel with a single bolt and let it wedge against the ground or something while I torque the flywheel bolts. Works like a charm.

    Man nice pics. You really got reamed on those seals though. But they're Honda OEM quality shit, so hopefully they'll last. Everything looks great!

    Yes it was quite filthy, I had to adjust the shifter anyway so I figured I better do it while it's out! I got the flywheel in with someone holding a big pry bar jammed in the ring gear through the timing hole. I noted your method though that sounds foolproof.

    Yea the stealership always gets me good, 130$ total for the 2 cv, crank and oilpan gasket!

    Man it's just terrible, hope you take care of it.. the mess sucks =\ and when its always burning on the exhaust it stinks all the time! ick.

    About to go in...


    All finished!


    Ahh the magic of pictures.

    Well holy fuck it took me a lot of cursing, lifting, moving, nudging, etc etc and I FINALLY got the damn thing in the hole. Good christ that is not a job I want to do again by myself.. that thing is heavy! Got everything filled up and so far so good, new clutch feels good and its nice to have everything clean and dry.

    Took me a while even though I busted ass and was way over what I thought I would spend but it's nice to have it all done.

    OBD1 next... as soon as I find a damn ecu, and I can get the time to do it of course.
