My Build Thread
Yeah Tom, that exhaust currently ends at the B-pipe. The entire cat-back (including the cat) is still missing from it. Hopefully I'll get some time to hang the stock exhaust this weekend. The custom 2.25" will have to wait until I replenish my '3G fund', which could take damn near forever at this pace. Oh well, it's a work in progress anyway. haha.

As long as its going farword Mark.. I know how it is aspessually in our situations.. I have to think to weld me new exhaust.. That cheap type I have on my car now makes farting sounds at 3.5k RPMs or under the load on low end.. really hate that..But we'll see, now that I'm going to welding school again, will have that opportunity.

My Build Thread
yeah, what a mess that ended up. There were two valves with stress cracks and pitting on the necks, the thing was all caked up with aluminum shavings from the porting job, it had to be milled because it was hanging out of the box when it showed up on my doorstep. Two or three of the valve guides were cracked due to that head being the victim of a snapped t-belt and many bent valves. The head had to be pressure checked because of the casting voids that were exposed from the porting and not filled (so much that a fingernail could easily 'catch' the voids). All in all, I ended up having to dump over $250 more into it, but the good news is that it seems to be holding up well enough from just the startup. Hopefully the bottom end hold together too because this was my first complete engine rebuild and I had no clue what the hell I was doing during the whole process.Originally Posted by MessyHonda
At the end of the day, I have no regrets about this entire build. Even if it blows up tomorrow, I learned so much from what to look for with porting/polishing jobs, how to disassemble and reassemble every last little nook and cranny of the head, and the entire bottom end tear-down and assembly too. No regrets. Just a great learning process.

Hey I still got my tubing from my old exhaust. There's no muffler but you could have it.
Its 2.25 mandrel bent.
Its an pacesetter exhaust with a resonator I had put in. I think it has the cat flange
god that sounds so awesome Mark.
I have a great idea! you should trade me your accord for my civic
1988 Honda Accord LX-i Coupe 123k miles.
Sold! I'll gladly take that off your hands. ...but are you willing to ship it? I'll also gladly pay you something for it too. If it's PaceSetter, it's aluminized piping right? Let me know. I already have a muffler and a cherry-bomb I was going to put in place of the stock resonator. My muffler is a MagnaFlow SS universal 2.25" Offset/Center, and I have a twin square-tip rolled edge tailpipe to slap on the end of that.
-Mark D.
you could have it for free if you pay shipping. I can take some pictures for you or you can see it in person maybe to make sure its what you need.
wow that sucks...sorry to hear that...good thing i just didnt slap it on...i said i would once i put on my headers but i never did

only suggestion i have for you mark, on the seats, i wouldn't do the ls integra as there aren't any true black seats, one is graphite, the other is a blue color, the RS integra has the closest to black but they're a pain to find, i would go with a crx si seat if you can find one, i have prelude seats in my ef sedan, they're from a 2000, they are super comfy and black, got em for 80 bucks and angus (lx-incredible) welded up some chopped brackets that we hacked and measured and fitted to them, so they bolt up like stock, easiest thing i found is go to the junk yard and get some seat rails, they cost me like 10 bucks for 4 of them, and just chop cut and weld to get one right and looking like stock.
here's what i'm talking about for the seats...
prelude:
dead white and blue
The Valve cover looks EPIC SEX!!!

oh and i forgot to add i'm totally gonna go old school like you and throw down on the mad tyte edm single wiper... all you do is put a bigger blade and rotate the originating angle on it right? seems that straight forward anyway... i think my civic could use some more old school flavor.
forgot to also add that this build is sick and i love it... keep it up... if we end up doing an east coast meet that i can actually make it too i would love to see the car and meet you in person!
dead white and blue
I was thinking about the Uni-wiper, but that's just a little too rice for me. Looking at my sig though, I just noticed I reallllly need to paint the wiper arms...

This is seriously one of my favorite cars on here. The carbs are awesome. Again, nice nice car man!
