thanks gfrg88 already changed some things around on the em1 again lol.

got some updates for the accord as well. I took the subframes out and took a little more out of the interior.

another update...

I got my 88-89 LX-i front spindles to do my "big brake" upgrade. Gotta order the bearings and calipers and such lol. Still gotta order my ebrake cables and legend calipers.

Wow been a while guys. No real updates on the hatch. Been busy with a few other projects. I just finished up with a full color change on the em1 back in june and been working on my 66 F100. Currently building another engine for the em1. Going to build the type r up for the em1 and boost the A20 instead of b series in the hatch.

here are some pictures of the em1 after the color change. Slight difference. Went from Electron Blue Pearl to Sonic Blue Pearl that came on the 03-04 Mustang Cobras.

Looks good man!

Looks good man!

Thanks man! I've actually been reading your thread for the past couple of days lol. Trying to get as much knowledge on boosting the a20 as I can. This is my first all over paint job I've done myself. Pretty proud of myself to say the least.

Any updates on the hatch

[89jdmaccord]

No I haven't really had a chance to work on the hatch lately. It's still sitting up on jackstands tore all apart. Been busy with work here lately. Started working with my dad back in March with the Family business and just have been super busy with it. I have however been working on building a cammed all motor type r swap for the em1. Been working on the truck a little too. The accord has really taken the back burner lately. I really need to get the stuff to do the obd1 swap on it. I need to finish up on my engine bay shave too. Lots to do to it still before I can paint it and get the a20a3 set up for turboing it.

[Shane86]

Can't wait to see it looking forward to updates

[89jdmaccord]

Thanks man. I really need to get motivated on the accord again, but I got really good deals on these parts to build the type r. My truck engine took a poop on me too. The oil pump locked up on it and caused a pretty bad rod knock. So that will be next after the em1 engine is built.

[Shane86]

Damn that sucks keep up the good work you'll get them right

[89jdmaccord]

Definitely! I'm waiting on the machine shop to finish up on my block and crank and rods and head all that for the type r build. Wishing they would hurry up with it lol. They were a month and a half out when I took it to them. Ready to feel the difference over the torqueless B16 lol.
