    i want it to look as standard as possible, that can't be done when you open the bonnet of a mid 80s accord and it screams DOHC VTEC in your face

    Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

    no front torque mount + bad wheel hop + poor clearance = broken TPS

    the good news is apparently the TPS was bad anyway, so this motivated me to change it

    BLOX makes good TPS'. I used one for my older build.

    I've got a churr as intake now


    it's just a pitty that the tight space i was working with wouldn't allow for a 3" pipe like the h22 has stock, so this would probably end up performing worse than a stock h22 lol. at least it wont be sucking up heaps of shit now. best part is it looks stock

    Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

    some liquid gold

    it made a night & day difference, it's quieter, way smoother, and after cleaning out the clogged vtec solenoid again, it pulled noticeably harder. worth it i must've had some real shit in there before

    also made my cross member look pretty by grinding down my welds, and installed a front torque mount.

    it's not very effective cause it's split, so i'll be filling that sometime in the near future before i tow any more cars.

    still a fair bit of work to do to make the car wofable though

    Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

    thank you

    I took the car on a decent drive on some open roads, the steering wheel vibrates a bit & i can feel vibration through the floor. I'm guessing i need a wheel balance, and to install a straight axle on the passenger side. you can see it wobble when you have the wheel off the car and spin it lol. i suppose upper ball joints that dont have play in them would be good too

    all EDM's came with preface lift, darker tone than facelift. If you mean rear garnish than yes, its preface lift, just as one was on your car, There is more parts I will need.
