4x4'in it!

Nice job I want that bumper pole!!

[A18A]

lol it is a bit high isnt it. im debating weather or not to drill a hole through my good bumper so i can keep the bumper pole

[A18A]

extended all the wires for my climate control, that was gay cause i burnt my thumb on the soldering iron other than that I installed half the interior, just gotta go over all the heater stuff again & setup the alarm wiring, then i can install the rest woot woot. staying with the ugly red interior for now since its the only 100% complete interior i have & it's the mintest one i got too, and most comfortable lol. pitty its red

Nice :thumbup

What exactly needed for the full auto climate control system conversion?

*cough*1g with auto climate control*cough*

[A18A]

dunno about 1st gens (didnt even know they came with them :O :O :O honda ftw) but all that was different on mine to standard controls is the motor that adjusts the temperature (instead of the old cable) and the HAC control box (dunno what that does, but they where different lol) everything else was the same as standard ones. even the HAC control box is the same on the accords with the stand alone climate control looms

[Hazwan]

They never came with one. Just playing with the idea of retrofitting the whole system from anoher car. Seems like 3g with auto climate control are kinda rare over here

[AccordB20A]

Hardest part would be fitting it all behind your dash/ fitting the actuators to your existing heater bockses.

I see your installing your red interior again, How gay!!! Looks like the queens car.

[A18A]

well if i had a 95%+ mint gre/black interior, i would install that

[AccordB20A]

oh okay then find a f1!!

[A18A]

it sucks when you go to type out a long reply and then failfox goes and fails really hard shit happens. for today i got most of the interior installed, the rest can wait till ive fixed the hand brake problem. everything works like it should i do have one small problem though, when ever i jump on the drivers seat that cat light comes on hope its just a short between the cat & the wire that goes under the seat lol. also swapped on my good bumper, the black stuff could do with some new paint though. beats the old bumper anyways! and installed a temprary b20a so it can power its own wheels so i dont have to push it, cause pushing the car is teh sux, i prolly would have got it running by now if i wasnt interupted so many times today. oh well, almost theree! lol heres the pics for today





and the neon light the previous owner left in there haha

hmm the car needs to be lowerererer

[A18A]

thanks, i have a grey carpet & leather door panels, its just little things like the boot & fuel levers, grey seals around the door frames, seat belts and other little small things that i need to complete mine, the rest of the stuff (which is painted dark grey) will do the job fine if you have a bunch of small things like that i shall be interested! oh i also want to upgrade to some integra seats or something, my grey ones just dont cut it anymore

[AccordB20A]

omg it grew an engine lol

[A18A]

theres also a intake manifold on there if you couldnt see :O

[2oodoor]

excellent work, amazing progress

I have typed several posts in the past two hours as well that got stuck, it just would not let me post. No messages though.

[AccordB20A]

you want some leather seats?
am getting the hard word from the oldies to start moving some of my parts from their place

[A18A]

im not really a fan of leather aye, not all that comfortable to me, but if you have a bunch of other small things, i'll be interested, ill make a list of stuff i want & see if you got them i got my car running this morning, had a epic fail which wasted about $1 worth of petrol, i didnt bolt the fuel line to the fuel pump, and there was a fack load of petrol dripping out from under the car, i thought it was my hory fuel line, but not even au. anyways i just gotta install the cv joints & hope i havent destroyed the shifter cable for the autobox (from a previous failure to remove from shifter when removing teh engine) its almost driveable yay!

[A18A]

woot engine runs good now, bogs hard though, might be cause the ports dont line up the best lol. now just to get it driveable, hope theres enough atf in there

[AccordB20A]

can you dremel the ports to match at all

[A18A]

if i had a dremel yeah. wpould prolly go mint too, but untill then. i forgot ewhat i was gonna say next. anyways the vigor decided its only boot lid holder downer thingy was gonna deform its self and have the boot lid jump up and down about 4 inches all the time when driving, ive had enough with the dodgyness of that car. im gonna take its btwnetya and stick it into this car, i dont care about the 2 months wof remaining. i still have to get the brakes on this car working so i dont have to rely on a block of wood stopping it from rolling through the fence

[AccordB20A]

as long as you have a car thats going to pass wof and also a car tht will make you pass your restricted lcience test
