    Re: My 89 lx-i Coupe.

    just had a nice jy run.

    i got new front signal lights un-oxidized.
    full set of 4-door oem window rain guard things. ( they are FOR SALE ) pm me if you want them.
    i opened a 4door 88 Lx and found a mint maroon armrest i had to grab that!
    (its just a little dirty the plastic and fabric re mint just need to be cleaned.
    a replacement oil pan, which was the main reason i went. the people who had my car before me stripped mine out, and put a bolt from the inside with a nut on the outside... making it impossible for me to change my oil.. lol

    and lastly i found a front lip off of a volvo wagon that i will be adapting to fit on my front bumper.

    there was an integra out there.. i was gonna grab the front control arms but they didnt seem to be adjustable.. so i left them. and i was gonna grab the steering wheel but.. it was shot so i left it too.

    here are the pics.

    and remember the rain guards are for sale!

    Re: My 89 lx-i Coupe.

    volvo lip is on.
    it was a little to short. i was going to cut it in half, and make up the difference with some sort of material but i ended up just trimming the upper inside ridge a little on each side to make it clear a part of the bumper..
    i might eventually cut it and make it longer to fit right. but for now it looks ok.

    also i still need to clean it. its not permanently attached right now, just zip ties

    Re: My 89 lx-i Coupe.

    i think it was a 1993 Volvo 240 Wagon, not sure. on the jy site they have it listed as that.
    its only a couple inches short of fitting perfect.. so when i cut it it will look better.
    and sorry for the dirty pics. car needs to be washed alot of bugs on the front.. and grease and whatever else frm working on it.
    just havent had the time.

    Re: My 89 lx-i Coupe.

    ive got some new plans for the near future.

    list. in order for the most part.

    paint. ( white )
    new ball joints all around. ( all shot )
    new rims / tires. ( Rota track r's )
    white spokes with green lip.


    and then, either get another a20 and fully build it, obd1 conversion with boost.
    or. b18c built pretty well with boost.

    i really dont know what i want to build.
    i really like the a20's built but i would love a b18..

    also, if there is any possibility, could anyone let me know a list via pm, on what all i need to do obd1 conversion. and where to get the stuff.. because im new to honda, and dont know what works with a20s and what doesnt.

    all in all, im going to start working up for the paint here soon. maybe within a few months.
    then the rest will follow i suppose.

    and in the end, ill have the baddest ca6 around here well.. i guess i already do.. since no one else around here has one

    You'll definitely get a lot of attention with those rims. It was a very profitable junkyard run.

    Re: My 89 lx-i Coupe.

    well, as many things as i change my mind on i dont know when im going to build the motor lol.

    my tires in the rear are getting worse and worse by day, cant find any used 14s around here so i went ahead and bought a new set of 15's today..

    they are Drag Dr-20's. i changed my mind from the rotas.

    15x7 40mm offset.


    not putting them on until i get my ball joints fixed, which im about to buy those too.

    pics will come when i get them in the mail..

    Re: My 89 lx-i Coupe.

    here are the rims, and arms.

    forgot to mention i also bought a air idle valve off of some random 3g, trying to find a fuel injected 3g in daytona is near impossible. so i scored good on that one also.

    they had all 4 rims on the car but i only bought 2.
    if i didnt buy new rims already i would have just got all of these and stuck with them i think they look awesome.

    they came off of a 1987 vw cabriolet.
    the 2 in the rear of that car has brand new falken tires on them, but one was dryrotted so i only took 1 from the back and 1 from the front. i didnt clean them yet. i will though

    Re: My 89 lx-i Coupe.

    just random picture. i thought it looked nice.
    offset on these rims in the back are 38mm.
    if anyone likes them the rims are called "avus" they came on 80's VW's.
    and they are kinda pricey, full sets selling for 200+

    Re: My 89 lx-i Coupe.

    put the right rear ball joint in a few mins ago, ol one fell apart when i took it off.
    left rear is still good.

    lude arms will go on soon, how do i adjust them? do i need to drill holes so the arm can slide when you loosen the nuts?

    yea, ive been looking for other lips every time i venture to the jy.
    im going soon though to take those vw wheels back so i can get my $60 back..
    i will be searching for good 195-55-15's, another lip, amber fogs, "rare" 3g accessories, you know that kinda stuff.. this lip wouldnt be that bad if it wasnt short on the sides. i could cut it in the middle and make something to fit the middle and it would be even on the sides and stuff.. but for now its ok
