relocating and cleaning up wires. and under hood mess. i got some rust and alot of little holes to fill in and fix the rust. i also moved the under hood fuse box to under the dash where the ac used to be. but have no pics of that yet cause i finished in the dark then got sick so i didnt take pics of that yesterday.
. turbo soon. and alot of work on rust n paint. maybe a new non rusted hatch. ill post pics with the fuse box gone soon.
Where did they all go . HA
Thats goin to look super clean.
lol, i did a mini tuck on the headlight wires. Did u make a connecting harness, or did you cut and extended all the wires? I ended up adding 120+feet of wire to my car....

^^ no pics yet, I just got the car running today. If i can get ahold of a camera, ill have some tomorrow.
but it really wasnt too bad, hardest/longest part was making the harness. Each wire had to be extended 4 feet. I soldered each one and heat shrunk it, took two nights + 3 trips to radio shack haha
Your car looks great . Did you just paint that car ? And looks like your Accord of the month. Early congrats on that.
Good work. How did you find that interior ? and the motor looks clean before the wire tuck. I bet it turned out nice
i took off fenders and pulled wires out of holes then took off protective plastic wire covers re routed wires and re covered them. i have had to make about four wires on the passenger side longer by like 2 feet. other than that ive just moved stuff around. and for the vac lines i just removed a bunch then re routed and shortened/lengthened a couple. mostly looks have changed but almost every wire is still there and can be put back the way it was stock.
. its a project with a long ways to go. im happy with it for now, still messin with stuff about every day. im broke for the last ... ever. friend just gave me about a grand of turbo stuff. so i need a turbo manifold and i thiink i got most everything. he had turbo runnin real good on his car but removed everything and returned to stock sold the car and said we are gonna put turbo on mine. but i dont have a manifold for that .said he just got a almost brand new 14b or 16g turbo. i have a decent t3. but he says the others are better. i
Involves alot of work i can see. But it looks managable and well worth it if your goin to shave holes and paint it too.

Ha ha . Yeah i always wanted another turbo.. I had a talon tsi once. And miss the boost .. Hell after seeing that a20 turbo johnny o bulit on here that ran 10's why wouldnt you. i guess the problem is the manifold and the rest is just fittin everything?
I donno give us a break down Rendon. With sam gettin ready to do his turbo too
and its cool you guys are close to each other .
i used to live in cinci bro. what area u live in . i lived on wyacross road. and in college hill. i love cincinnati, but had to mave back on this side to be with my kids
Well this is sams thread...i what a gt30 later on which is spendy lol...but good hp gains off that.....its all in the tunning i mean you can have a bad ass motor but if not tuned PUFF...and hp comes from the head...80% of it does anyway...lighter rods makes a world of a difference. i had my a20 rebuilt before turbo but wasnt sure so i ran it for 3 years . so i did a comp test was all even accross the board.. SO i boosted it. well she holding fine for a crappy tune but im going obd1 here soon to, the oppertunity to control fuel an map and datalog .all makes a world of a difference...Im getting a motor here from a buddy for 50 bucks lol blown head gaskest so its all good...im going to build that thing decent to handle 300hp. but its not going to be a quick one. parts are pricely for a goal so high. Its all in what you want you know....i think im close to 200hp but idk dyno well reveal the stats lol....dyno soon after some other stuff needed to get shit done....O SAM YOUR THE MAN PIMPING LOl...sam helped me installed cam gear his dad is a savage...a true old skool racer. anywho sam we need to install intercooler bro lol...

cinci is the shit compared to where im at. i didnt want to come back. but if i didnt id prob still be driving a astro van. i got my first 3 g after i came back to wa. for 100 bucks and i knew right then the accord was the car for me.i did that to a computer on xmas. it was fun. but not for the other guys computer. he made me mad gettin up in my face talkin shit. long story short
I like your setup Rendon . I was maybe wanting to do a turbo swap . But as long as its takin me to get this car to that point its still down the road .It defently would benefit me if you guys live in oh not wa.
Sam ever head of foriegn auto salvage in northen kentucky . The last engine i got off of them was only 75 bucks. And there are like 10 accords at bessler pull and save and maybe 10 in carthage pull and pay if you ever went junking around in cincy for parts
thanks man.
id not driven a accord back thenbut when i go back there for fun i will look at those places for parts. i lived there in 2003 and all i did was work 2 jobs, bang my girl constantly. and .. and...smoke the reefers
