Well! Meet someone at my parents party who owns an 87 LX Auto and he said I can have it.
Checked it out today. It tracks straight and the CV's are in perfect condition, so it looks like I'm back!

Sweet Welcome Back
My game plan:
What I think was damaged in the wreck was all the front end stuff that isn't the frame... Lol... So the first task is to make it drive down the road right.
I gave my Weber to my brother because his Samurai wouldn't run right, and I think the stock carb was better after I did the manual secondary to it. So I plan on doing some work on the intake manifold, maybe making the... it's been a while, and I knew what this was called.... Grinding out where the carb sits. Do some port matching if needed.
I wrecked it 3 days after I got my 4-2-1 exhaust on, so that's gonna stay. I stole the muffler for my Sidekick, so I might go with something like Apexi or something like that. I wish I knew the exhaust the guy who runs a hybrid b20/16 in his Civic has. It sounds bad as hell! You can't hear it when he is crusing, but as soon as he gets on it, it's the most wicked thing a 4 cylinder could sound like.
A buddy of mine has some Fat 5's I found for him for $60... He owes me $450, so might just tell him to give me the wheels and $400.
Remember the guy in the Civic? I want to keep up with him! haha... Maybe run in the 14.5's. I'm serious! Continue reading...
My rig has been at my brother's house over the winter, and I didn't know it leaked, so it's got some water in the floorboard, which made mold, which I despise with all my heart, so I am gonna crazy and GUT IT!!
YEP! I'm gonna take everything I can out of this thing except the seats (I'll take the rear out if I go to the track) and MOST of the dash.
I might even devise a way to gut the rear doors and keep them up all the time.
Stay tuned!

The automatic accord I'm getting is a mess. They say it runs great, but it's an automatic, so I can't do anything with it. I'm gonna take the A1 out with the carb, plus the Headlight motors, and everything in the front that makes the tires go straight and since I'm not gonna get a title, I'll let the government take care of it after I dump it somewhere they don't ask questions, they just tow it.

sweet sounds like a plan
cool@
14.5 is going to be an adventure, may need to stop by and pick up alice and the talkng rabbit
j/k
welcome back bass man !!
And I'm being realistic! lol
The Green car has an 88 A3 engine with 108k miles, and I got that A3 exhaust manifold with 2" all the way back. If I put the stock carb back on with the manual secondary, it might be around 125-130hp.
I'm gonna try to get this thing down on the weight as much as legally possible... Maybe 2100lbs is something to shoot for? I think 14.5 seconds is a good number for a stock block.

you're gonna need a dirt devil vacuum cleaner to suck that power from the tailpipe
just messing with ya
seriousley I dont think that is possible, the vacuum cleaner thing...
get back to the custom intakes for other carbs again and P&P the head. Or get you a set of B series mounts if you wanna stfu that civic an I mean that in the freindliest way possible
welcome back
one day I'll return.
Damn it he's back.
Haha just kidding man. What happened to your old 3gen?

I give a lot of respect to the guy who owns the Civic. He is going for a JDM look, and he has built a lot of 12 second Civic's in the past. He used to rebuild Rotory engines for the Mazda race team about 15 years ago.

Hey, look!! I finally got it home!!
Cost me $75, but I think it was worth it... I might get the other one towed here for a couple bucks more. That's cheaper than all the front end stuff I need, plus I get a new manifold and carb. That weber wasn't as good as the stock carb with the manual secondaries.
Here are the pics you guys were waiting for. Consider this a before shoot.
Nothing I need is bent, here!
Look at the bend!! I hope the steering is fine.
LOOK!! Nothing was damaged!! I still want to replace both bumpers with 88-89's.
And my secret weapon to make it look halfway decent.
Gonna have it painted when I'm all done with it.
And don't worry about the cinder blocks. I'm gonna be stacking tires under the whole thing so I can work on it while I use my jackstands for the things in my garage. I don't trust those jackstands on dirt.

Nice. Keep up updated!
take it to an alignment after you are finished.

Redzone tuned
I might even lower it an inch or 2 to make it look better with the wheels.
I'm hoping to gut the rear doors and fasten my windows up, then plating the doors with some sheet metal. I'm also thinking about pulling the rear seats and replacing them with removable sheet metal or aluminum. I don't want the weight, but I think I'll keep the general shape incase I get people wanting a ride somewhere.

Just take the rear seat out and leave the carpet fold. It works fine for seating...people will complain but screw them lol.

It's not a fold-down.I also have a rotted-out trunk, so I'm gonna cut it flush and weld something in.
I started pulling everything off about 6:45 tonight and I was done and ready for the other accord at around 7:30.
I got pics for some reason.

Here are the pics for today.
The front wheels after being drug 100 yards. The right tire was ground down almost to the insides.
All the parts I pulled. Each side must weigh 60lbs!! That's insane!
Fender is a little beat up. Steering linkage looks fine, but the joint spins, so I'm gonna replace it. The A-arm bracket looks perfect!
The only "Damage" to this side was the soft brake line spinning inside the bracket...
You can see here, nothing is even scratched.
And now I got this to work on... I didn't like the Weber on this thing. I think the Keihin did better after I made it manual.

Found an 86 DX for $150 with some wheels I can run for a while till I get some 15" tires.
