CAH:1991 Accord EX Coupe Build

[Civic Accord Honda]

im guessing you have a pluged up rad, once the car is running how how much temp diffrence is there between the top rad hose and the bottom?

rad is new and clear, but i did notice the condensor (Ac thingy majigabob in front of radiator is all dented up and doesnt look like very much air goes thru it, and the car cools down within a minute once the rad fans get turned on

Reply to the pictures.

4th gens sure are sweet. If 3rd gens didnt exsist, i'd be lookin everywhere for a 4th gen heh. Yours looks prety nice, too. Intresting rims, btw.

thanks! i like 4th gens too but i still think a 3g hatch looks better then a 4th gen, and yeah the rims are intresting lol hope to get something else for it one day!

it sucks i get about about 24 out of my auto trans fi 3gee i was expecting way more

word sucks indeed!, my 4speed 3 got like 17mpg but had a cel on for just about everything under the sun

i had a Win and Fail day, Fail- got like 3 hours of sleep, Win- beach was awesome, Fail i didnt bring an extra set of clothes , Win got new clothes, win ordered my favorite pizza, fail 10 month old radiator EXPLODED in the ghetto while driving around waiting for pizza to get done, Win Kragen backs there Lifetime warranty so radiator was free!

but yeah in that 10 months we put 37thousend miles on the CB and it was an elcheapo plastic tank radaitor that has been overheated on alot, infact what happened was it over heated and boiled over and filled the overflow up then ran out of space to boil over and just blew the radiator up >< or Justin was right and it was clogged and thats why the car kept overheating and it blew up, dunno how a 10month old rad gets pluged but the rad is thiner then my pinky finger so yeah im sure it anit hard

[GraniteLXI]

Thinner then your pinky finger? Man that must have been a cheap radiator!

[Civic Accord Honda]

the OEM one was the same size they are single core... dunno why... hell my civic had a dual core copper rad and this car has a bigger engine and yet it has smaller rad with plastic tanks lol
.

another update, the car decided it wasn't done blowing coolant everywhere and blew the little cooling hose that goes to the throttle body today in 114F heat ><
so now 95% of the cooling hoses are brand new lol still a couple little ones i need to replace but its fuck all to hot to deal with it right now (unless more decide to explode but the others look fine this one has looked swolen for awhile and i have been meaning to replace it but it kept slipping my mind)

also got new vacuum hose to replace the ghetto leaking hose i was using for my ghetto catch can lol

[Ayeobe]

LoL Wow man. I think im gona go out and squeeze all my rad hoses RIGHT NOW. haha.. everyone's poppin rad hoses.

[Civic Accord Honda]

Sounds right to me!!11

seriously its like WTF the car is pulling harder then ever doesn't smell rich as fuck and not making a gurgling staticy sound it normally makes when accelerating

but it feels damn good to have power steering back after not having it for 8 months ! and no more grinding steering rack ftw

[Ayeobe]

Oh man, power steering is defenetly one of my fav. parts of my car. It kicks so much ass in the accord. You almost just have to think it and it turns lol.

Good to hear the car is running better, too. Nothin like some TLC and hard work, to keep a car with that many miles running great.

[Rendon LX-i]

Redo EVERYTHING an maybe I'll vote for AOW accord of the week lmfao

[Mellexx]

Redo EVERYTHING an maybe I'll vote for AOW accord of the week lmfao

[charliekuney]

If you can sell your wooden shift knob for $25, how much do you think you could get for the Cholos? Enough for a pair of steelies?
