    my return to the world of 3geez

    as some of you may remember me from a few years ago, i was the guy who bought elijahs's 89 accord with a bunch of spare parts including his built cylinder head. during that time, i have rebuilt the entire bottom end, and mated the built head to it and dropped it into the car. then along came a bunch of prefab parts like my headers and exhaust, all of which are pacesetter, all of which is garbage for the most part. once everything was put together and hooked up, i cranked the car over, but it refused to start because it want getting any fuel. at that time, i was very angry at it and decided to walk away from the car leaving it in the garage for the next couple years, and picked myself up a nice skyline. fast forward to today, my skylines motor is blown(another one on its way), and my accord is still sitting in the garage.


    since some of my ideas never planned out, it left me with a bunch of repair work that is needed to be done on my accord. my attempt at wire tucking, left me with needing to replace the entire interior harness. my belief is that the harness was the source of all my problems from the start, so i will be starting at the harness and working my way back to the engine bay.


    my accord as it sat a couple years ago. it has since has the radiator and a bunch of other minor front end work done to it, but that is mainly how it sits. notice the time/date on the picture. the project started back at the end of 2005.




    i hope to start coming back to this forum and it is a great resource, and i hope to meet new people in the process.

    it was turbo'ed when elijah owned it. then he stripped it for his build, then he gave up on it. ive got the parts needed to turbo it if i want, its just a matter of time



    it was only left alone until a couple weeks ago when a friend helped me clear everything useless out of the garage. we took out atleast 2 truck loads of garbage loaded to the top. i then noticed that i had such a vast amount of room to work in there that i can buy myself some wheel dolleys and move the car as i wish to gain space needed to remove the fender.

    the renewed interest comes from the soon to be 12 weeks of unemployment when im going back to school. im going to be working on it when i can during the winter since i wont be working, so im hoping it will be out this year. i guess the fact that my skyline started knocking could be another reason why i want it back out.

    elijah never got around to doing anything to it other then ripping out the motor and most of the interior. all the motor work was done by me, but was actually for my original accord before i acquired elijahs. i plan on putting it back to stock form, then slapping my turbo gear into it. if not, i might dive back into the whole megasquirt stuff and go deep into NA territory. i will be doing my best to get it running by summer though since ive got enough room to get on it now.

    here is my skyline as it was sitting a few years ago when i first got it




    here it was freshly after it got repainted lapis blue mettalic(porsche colour)
