Vector - 1988 DX - RWD Accord

[Vector]

i needed speedo which i can use my afc display. also my fuel gauge wont work since i'm using a fuel cell, and i haven't made the sending unit for it yet. the sending unit i will be making for it still wont work for it since i will be running stuff like that into a pic controller to monitor on a lcd display in the dash.

pretty much left is clutch and electrical. the throttle cable sorta works with the intake manifold, but doesn't hookup the same way so i might have to change that just to be safe.

I don't remember if I brought this up before, but if you're planning on driving this thing on the street, are you planning on getting any type of special insurance on this thing, like a stated value policy? If you are, be careful! Insurance companies are unethical pieces of shit and will do anything they can to protect their bottom line. I talked to several companies about getting a stated value policy on my car, they said they could, say if it was a $10k stated value, they'd charge me based on that value, but then if my car was stolen/crashed whatever, they'd fucking re appraise the car arbitrarily, and only give me some % of that value that I'd been paying on the whole time! FUCK that. I would be afraid to drive that car unless you knew if someone hit you, you'd get your money/time/value back out of it. Can you get it appraised, and have that value on record with your insurance, and have it actually be honored?

That's interesting. I found this on google:

Looks like what you really want is an Agreed value policy, not a Stated value policy.

i will only go through that kind of insurance if i can get the car to pass a rigidity test at a auto body shop because i've altered the unibody.
and since i want it to do that, i have a ton more work to do to it welding wise to make sure it does pass. but i'm trying to avoid adding to much weight to the back of the car, so i have to be careful how i do this.

the pic controller will do more than just fuel guage, it will also eventually control my cluster via/digital readout. i plan on also adding things like automatic lights, wipers, time set door locks/windows (for those nights i forget to lockup / set my alarm). will also have stuff like if i'm not around and it rains as an example, my windows will roll up. some neat things i always wanted in a car i owned, just could never afford those type of cars lol.
on a side note, i'm also converting the heater system to electric which will also be controlled by the pic and be able to set the temp and keep it there so ya don't boil if you forget to turn it off lol.

i will also be implementing pushbutton start and complete key less operation through alarm remote/keypad or if i want to do something really different, use my phone to unlock the car via bluetooth.

thats some flash ideas haha

[Vector]

is there an image that supposed to be next to this thread title in the performance section.. cuz if there is, it doesnt work.

[chowder]

pics??

[Vector]

are all in previous pages, i have newer pics, just haven't got around to posting them.

[gfrg88]

vids??

[Vector]

lol, almost got me with that quote hahahah
i did post a video of the motor running, with some insane rod knock on youtube lol.

i will put up some new pics, imc currently having a problem bleeding the clutch, i think it has to do with the angle is sitting at, so i will have to change the location and angle and try again.

[Vector]

thats all i have at the moment, i have more pics of how i did the engine swap on another camera, i will try this week to get my hands on them since it wasn't my camera i used haha.

those are some rather large zip ties you have there!

it's funny seeing a whole engine bay with just a fuel tank in it haha

[AccordB20A]

very long shock top botls you have there

the ties were on sale, think i got that bag for 3 bucks or something, always come in handy, riots, people i don't like, s&m... things like that.

very long shock top botls you have there

these were from a previous project, i will be most likely using civic shocks with this car, so i can pull them through the fenders and not have to worry about destroying them right away lol.

[chowder]

is that true mid engine or does some spill over the back tires? either way mid engine rear wheel drive is proper motor imho, just works the best

[Vector]

engine sits infront of the tires techically, if you look at any of these transmissions where the axles plug into... only thing that leans over is the intake manifold.

heh, think i figured out my clutch problem... i had the master cylinder upside down, so air was gettin trapt, yes flame me, i'm an idiot hahahah.

[chowder]

what did you figure out to get air into your intake cut some side vents or what?

You idiot, you clearly have no mechanical ability!

Seriously though, that is one hell of a project! Very nice work! I can't wait to see the videos of the RWD burnouts!!!!

I wanna see it stick and wheelie!

[Vector]

what??? no. just gonna run cai to infront of transmission by old 4g rad support.

yes clutch is actually bled, i don't know how much the cylinder is supposed to move, but it feels like its working mmmkaaay.

[A18A]

oooo now what?

[Vector]

compared to a 97 accord with f22b2 5spd, slave cylinder moves about the same distance, so i think i'm good to go on that.... next is bleed brakes and tidy electrical.
