    I call dibs on the folding mirrors, all the cool cars over there and nobody can find me the parts I want? How disheartening

    Re: Saving Another Accords Life

    That RHD A18 sure is looking purdy for a car about to go to the scrapper. Is it expensive to dispose of non running vehicles in NZ or do they have really safe recycling laws and processes?

    That is the nicest looking "rusty" 3G I've ever seen. Do your pictures lie or should I get my eyes checked?

    I like that grey one.......Its always good to see a accord go to a good home. I was happy once i got my SEI coupe home and saw how straight it was. Good luck with that project!

    Re: Saving Another Accords Life

    a lot of members on here would kill for my grey car

    I put some better tyres on it cause three tyres looked like this one:


    stuck some 13s i had onto it



    and i had a set of brand new leads in the shed so i stuck them on, they are a bit too short as they are made for a ES prelude engine.




    and the air condition ever blows cold air omg!!!@!@312

    Re: Saving Another Accords Life

    heres some pics, im going to leave the oil to drain overnight (now)




    fucked up thermostat lol


    looks beautiful in here


    and in here too


    and i bought this and are installing them


    cheapish oil and filter. but its got to be better than the 60,000km oil that came out of it right. I left the oil draining and ill put the new shit and filter on tomorrow. Ill buy some decent coolant when i know its not going to leak it out etc etc

    Re: Saving Another Accords Life

    Clean oil is in and i flushed the fuck out of the cooling system, the radiator overflow bottle pipe was rusted solid even the air line with 100psi wouldnt unblock it so i sorted that out, then a pipe off the thermostat housing fell off when i bumped it (rusty as fuck)

    this is why we use coolant people!
