Junker coming back to life

[InAccordance]

I'll keep this updated as the car comes along.... this is what it looked like when I got it... 380 bucks =P


New fender, hood later

Aparently the car was hit in the front and the headlight bucket is warped all to hell, wasnt even fully bolted in when I got the car... but im planning on doing a fixed headlight setup so Im just leaving it the way it is for now cause it still works, just looks funny.

Got bored one day and felt like spraying my tail lights red.


black box removal! Amazingly enough the car runs 10x better now... idles perfect and actually has some balls accelerating.

Pile of crap that was removed

Dirtiest carb ever... but I bought a weber today so screw this dirty pos.

[InAccordance]

Now rolling on tokico blues and dropzone springs on all 4 corners
now I need a camber kit, hahahahaha
only took 1 pic of the pass rear, but you get the idea

[InAccordance]

weber came in today!



update on what it looks like now... finally got the hood mostly straight with the latch engaged (didnt even have a hood latch when i got the car)

[Bglad420]

Why your springs upside down??

[InAccordance]

they're not, just compressed... had to roll it on a couple bricks its so low i cant fit my fat head under to get a pic

[Shilo]

Why did car companies put miles of vacuum lines on electronic feedback carbs? My 1985 AMC Eagle was the same way, and after I removed the mess of lines it ran 10x as good as it did before (only had the vacuum advance and the vacuum heater valve hooked up). I almost went with a Weber for my Accord, but I've decided to go the EFI route. When I start putting it all back together after tearing it apart I'll probably wish I got the Weber .

for smog checks in California lol

[InAccordance]

well, the idea is that all that crap will make the car start quickly and smoothly, it will idle perfectly, and have the proper air/fuel ratio under any engine load... its basically archaic computer controlled carb.
the thing is, once the shit gets old and starts breaking down or just one piece goes bad, it all goes to hell and throws the entire system out of whack.
so in reality your car isnt really running better than say a brand spanking new carb accord would, it is however running better than your broken down electronic carb was.
Mine was the same way... had no power at all uphill, was pretty bad on fuel consumption, etc etc... removed all that stuff and it feels like a new car in terms of engine running properly.
oh and what CAH said... emissions too.

[MessyHonda]

yeah its the last carb that honda offered so emissions took a big toll on the performance of these cars...any weber upgrade will be nice...now all you need is a cam and header

[InAccordance]

adapter plate came in today so the weber is going on this weekend, wewtz

[InAccordance]

webbbbbberrrrrddddd, weeee


Still needs alot of fine tuning, idle is waaaay too high and the secondary jet is too big... but damn its loud when you open that secondary!

[Mellexx]

wooot! can't wait to see more of that

[InAccordance]

gonna clean it up tomorrow, got too dark by the time i got done with it... still alot of vacuum lines laying around hooked to nothing >.>

[speedpenguin]

So what's next?

[Hondamonster]

damn you made that look easy... maybe i should get a weber...

[InAccordance]

header is next, then shipping my spare cam off to get reground and still waiting on the shop to finish the work on the other head
once all thats done, start on the bodywork

[Juggalo88Accord]

God damn youve made alota progress in a short time Good work

[InAccordance]

thanks
I try to do something every weekend since thats when im off and can.
got an axle going bad so looks like i got to get that done first... prob go ahead and do the integra caliper conversion while im in there since it needs brakes as well... kill 2 stones with one bird.

UPDATE - 9/24

Been lazy and working alot of overtime, so small update



mad props to Itzdave for hooking up this valve cover



props to AccordEpicenter for the corner lights.
Though I was told to change the light color back to factory by the police... it's illegal in TN to change the color of your factory lights, weaksauce.
