Shyboy's 89 Coupe

[ShyBoyCA6]

Um i Need a huge Favor Fellas,

I got this Black Prelude wing off a 91 and notice that is probably like a inch and a half longer. i was Wondering 3G members that have the original oem rear spoiler could give the size of the wing and how far are the holes from the trunk edge to edge and center. this will help me out on where to set the wing in a proper way without it looking like crap.


i have a couple pics with it on it but not secure, it sucks that it curves at the ends.... i found another one on a prelude that look similar to a 3g oem but the bastards broke the shit out of it. i was gonna in stall the black one on the 4dr and the red one on the 2dr but oh well. i guess the 2dr will keep the black one and i will make sure the wing will look good with the car .

this is an awesome effin wing. i think i know what i'm lookin for at my next trip to the junkyard. the lines of the wing are perfect, that looks better than a 4g spoiler any day (and it's not even mounted yet!). this to me is a very sublte mod that is absolutely dead on w/ upgrading the 3gee's appearance.

Thank you, im gonna mount it on tomorrow since i can't do anything till i get jack stands.

[Hazwan]

Yup that wing looks awesome!

Mark don't install it yet. Ill get you the dimensions of the original holes first. And IMO that wing is too round to flow with the boxiness of our cars.

sweet! thanks Daniel.

give the wing a chance haha,once i get it on there it won't look to bad and this is the closest to a 3rd gen oem spoiler im a get to .

[ShyBoyCA6]

Bump?

and got a update for you guys(not that you care haha)

gonna tear down the motor tomorrow right after i get off work i have everything ready for it to come off. kinda fucked up my finger and swelled up a lil but should be fine to continue on the car . gonna replace the head gasket and piston rings.
Next on the list:
Bisimoto Cam Gear
intake manifold gasket
and new injectors from a eclipse (i think)
Obd-1 Distributor and PO6 ECU
Oh im also gonna install the wing i got for it and pics should follow up after i have time to post them.

[charliekuney]

(not that you care haha)

I care!

[MessyHonda]

i want pictures of the goods

[ShyBoyCA6]

i will as soon as the cam and intake gasket get here.

[ShyBoyCA6]

ok i unbolted the head and header is off completely.

i was wondering if it would come off with the intake manifold still attach or would i have to remove it as well to get the head off?

the head moves but i can't get it to lift up unless its that heavy to lift? im guessing it weighs like a 100 lbs?

well any info on taking the head off would be great the sooner i get it off then i can work on the head gasket and piston rings. thank you for any input.

[Tdurr]

there is a bracket on the bottom side of the intake manifold. its like 3 10mm bolts. Take it off and leave it of. its a pain in the ass

[ShyBoyCA6]

ok thanks gonna go do that right now and see if it comes off

[ShyBoyCA6]

double post

[ShyBoyCA6]

Tdurr you are the man thanks to you i got it off who would of thought that two screws would be able to hold it down haha i didn't even know it had 2 down there.

well i will post pics up later of the damages im so freaking happy i got it off haha excuse me.

i just hope it aint warp if thats how you say it.

[ShyBoyCA6]

i didnt see anything wrong but the gasket itself was in bad shape and needed to be replaced. but i gonna wait till i get my stuff in the mail.

also painted my right fender black (no im not CAH)

[MessyHonda]

i want to see this car in person...next year when my car is running too

[Tdurr]

no prob man. glad i could help. but remember to throw that bracket away lol.

and glad u got it off, looks good, id say slap a new HG, on it and flush ur coolant and seafoam the motor and it will be purring real nice.

Looking Good, Glad to see you didn't go CAH and roll down the windows and paint the whole car thinking you wouldn't have to mask it off

[Nio]

Oh dang, I don't know how I missed this stuff.

Great work there, it looks like your gasket kinda took a beating.

And the fender looks good as well. can't wait to get to see this in person.

lol nah im not doing a CAH i took the fender off and painted it i know it dont look good but better than a grey fender

yeah the gasket was pretty messed up compared to the new one haha i just hope this will fix the low compression and smoke it had before

you'll be the second person to see the car since tom helped me bring the coupe home.

might have to wait on the turbo just to see how the motor does after the new parts are installed.

tomorrow im gonna work on the trans and try to take it out since i have more room to work with finally im getting more progress on the car and could be done by May or beginning of june or the car will be finished next month if i wanted to keep stock but since its a baby she'll be getting alot more stuff .

Nio I might be heading down to the junkyard next month and start grabbing a few things don't know if you wanna come if you dont mind the drive haha?

[Nio]

Once I get my car back up here I wouldn't mind the drive at all, XD I'm sure there would be something there I wouldn't mind grabbing myself. :3

Cool Man im head down to the yard when their is a sale i found two coupes with low mileage which will be a good candidate for my car. also gonna pay CAH a visit to pick up a JDM head for free i think that what he said and someother stuff he has.

[ShyBoyCA6]

ok i think this has been ask but i read somewhere that a a20 prelude flywheel will fit our cars but want a lighter flywheel and i think they make them for the prelude but can't find a sight that sells them. any idea where i can find a website for it? thanks for any input .
