    Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

    installed some good engine mounts & b20a power steering line

    put the motor in the car!!


    then 3-4 hours of good daylight got robbed from me by other people but i installed my lowering springs and connected it up enough & swapped fuel pumps and now the car runs! yay! would drive too if I had the accelerator cable installed. see all that lovely carbon monoxide in the air

    well i was looking to see if fuel was actually coming up through the fuel rail, so i loosened the nut on the rail and turned the key on and sure enough fuel everywhere, i bolted the line back on then tried to start the car and there must have been a spark through the leads or something cause the whole motor caught on fire lol

    Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

    todays update: i installed all the brakes stuff and half ass bled them, they do not operate. maybe i failed when installing calipers or something. i'll have to look into it. went to take the car for a little blat but as soon as i went for 2nd gear all i got was lots of back firing and loud bangs. the rotor that aaron gave me had snapped inside the dizzy, however the fuck that happens. also the spark plugs that I bought brand new last year where smoking when i was testing for spark

    well I installed my air horns (needs to be wired up still), and some fog light brackets & the drivers side guard.

    a honda just isn't right without one of these

    next I hope to have all the body panels on, then I can start with the interior. I'm gonna paint one of my dashboards black since I don't have any factory black dashboards

    Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

    wired up my horns and installed a front bumper and lights and stuff

    it looks like a car again


    got this dash

    cleaned it and put a 2.0si loom in it and then painted it

    vacuum out the interior

    interior halfassly installed. i'm having a hard time finding all the little bits and pieces needed to complete the car (N)

    I installed the seats aaron gave me cause they're in worse condition, and i don't want to put my mint ones in here as they will probably get owned


    i still haven't fixed the brakes yet lol
