Yes, lock have to be mowed to the left abit, I've tried on my gray car to hammer indentation forward but later I discovered that previous hole was/will be touching new one so I scrapped that idea. Anyway I want facelift bumpers and some better front windows as my are scratched, Idea was to get all that along with the trunk lid.Originally Posted by A18A

shipping bumpers from here would probably be uneconomical. Good bumpers here in NZ are rare cause they're all warped. You'd want to get the bumper covers from the USA where they have solid bumpers that don't warp (and is probably cheaper shipping too). Can't you get windows locally? Only thing I can probably easily help you out with is the number plate housing
No I cant find any that are in good condition here, maybe because our northern wet climate damage inside seal and dirt collects behind it, sandblasting in a sense. I didnt know that JDM's were non solid, just as here. I need new onse because of that, so I thought why dont facelift at once.

I have learnt something this morning. That is to insulate relays from the weather, otherwise all 4 air horns may just randomly turn on at 1:30AM and wake everyone in the area up
thats why you mount them with the terminals facing down
ahh well, just another excuse to pull my front bumper off and install some more horns i have lying around
lol h22 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYtrag2QvuU I will be pulling it out tomorrow to see what's wrong. hopefully it's just a rooted tensioner which made the belt slip. a f20a will be going in its place in the mean time
Oh man that sounds bad, hope its not too serious.
lets take a large step backwards
f20a5, the only motor I have that fits. basically the CB accords version of the a20a4
H22 is rooted
Rooted?
indeed. and just a few days ago the f20 spat out a main seal, which left a trail of oil about 7km long on the road from my sisters place almost to mine lol. so now this car is parked up till i get another/fix my h22 or something
Man, you are having some bad luck. I feel for ya, I just had my headgasket blow
yup, can't win aye. funny thing about this car is it's the motors from newer cars that have failed, everything else about the car is fine
stick the the a20...they last
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
I agree! lol
i would if it didn't feel like driving a turtle
^ at least it would work! lol
lol true that. oh well my other accord seems to be going good so far
I guess that what happens with regular 8000rpm treatment with almost no oil
Whatd you burn up now?
h22a motors are like dog shit, they are everywhere. and cheap
yeah good thing they're cheap. hopefully i can get this prelude, it would be the ideal donor
I started on my hydraulic clutch pedal conversion today.
this was my first plan of attack. auto pedals, cut brake pedal & a prelude clutch pedal setup welded to them
realized that there was no way all that was fitting under the dash, so ditched that idea quick fast.
after some comparing & measuring, i came up with a way that might work
red line shows where i have to cut a hole
I made sure to drill straight into the main loom
weld this piece to the pedal
seems to fit & operate good
a view from the engine bay
the pedal travels the full distance of the master cylinder without any issues
need to sort out the engine bay lines, tie the loom out of the clutches way & probably spend some time going over kill on making it reliable. then i can put it to the test.
also found out what was wrong with the f20, a balance shaft main seal for some reason just fell off. sweet easy fix!
Always one for a handy fix, nice work.
