    Different car...Thats an awesome feeling isn't it!
    Maybe a civic shorty shifter would help that elbow shifting? You would be amazed what a weber 38 would do now mmmmm
    is an SI shifter different?
    that was a bitch changing the outboard cv when I made the hybrid axle for that b20 on mine , i was putting the larger accord yoke oon a prelude just opposite lol

What else am I missing here?

    It shifts fine, its just bothering me lol
    Is it possible, that you have it flipped 180˚? If you rotated it around, would it be correct? Just a hunch i have, nothing to go by, since i've never worked on one.

    I guess the shifter location problem has to be with linkage unless Honda had different length selector shafts between Accord & Prelude G/boxes (or something) to ensure connecting bolt could be undone easily around anything that might be in the way?
    Its a Prelude gearbox, at least thats what the guy told me. It could come off an Accord and were installed on that lude and then he pulled it off but then Accord guys has been installing the lude trans all the time and they are basically the same thing.

    The outer CV is supposed to come off after a few blows with a hammer but mine was stuck for good. Stupid aftermarket parts!

    It came off an EX and people said the shifter should be the same between an SI and non SI models.

    I sure as hell would be amazed what the efi conversion would do to this thing :p No carbs for me thanks! I'm gonna save up for the cheddas stuff later on so I might as well do it all at the same time with his fancy dual bend shifter and the bushings. My brand new bushings aren't the best and I had to substitute for that one bushing by the gearbox with some rubber hose since I can never locate a set locally It shifts good though just a tiny bit of slop but better than the original 28 year old bushings I guess!

    I doubt that but thats how they came stock. I knew I might have flipped it or something but I've compared mine with the pics on the internet and they're all facing the same way. I could flip it now and have it bend forward/upwards but then thats a lot of work lol I'd rather do it later when I go with a short shifter and upgrade my bushings. I wish I could do it now while everything is apart but I have no more money left haha!

    Re: My 86 Prelude Thread

    Haven't updated this thread in a while but car is doing fine with the manual. No more leaks! But the shifter is sitting funny. I think the linkage might be bent or even a wrong linkage but I'll get that sorted out someday. But it shifts fine so I'm not too worried about it

    Also added 50% tint all around and its looking great! Rear window is a bitch to do though. I have some bubbles but I'm gonna redo the rear window someday..

    But here are some PICS!

    Re: My 86 Prelude Thread

    Didn't do much to the car but I had the massive exhaust leak fixed over a week ago





    I'm pretty sure the resonator is factory 29 year old ones. Had a shop doing it. I was planning on getting a welder soon but I can't wait that long and I hated how the car sounded like with the leak. Its temporary for now since I'm gonna redo the whole exhaust. You should see how PO hacked the pipe going to the muffler


    This is how it sounded like in car before


    Sounds like a fucking tractor.

    Now after new resonator, keeping the muffler that came with the car


    Sounds good IMO. It's almost factory like from the inside with slight deep tone to it when you get in it but otherwise super quiet during idle and cruising.

    Also installed this chinese apexi turbo timer. Why you ask? I need its volt meter function to monitor my flaky charging system lol. I had the timer function disabled since WHY would I need that on my NA car.

    we all know what those ludes are like with their standard external regulated alternators. hopefully your using a more reliable a20a internal regulator one now ?

    Re: My 86 Prelude Thread

    Yeah they had those gay external regulator and the alternator is like 55A? What a joke. I have a Nissan 80A alternator and it has built in regulator. A20A won't fit without replacing the brackets and crank pulley which means I gotta change a lot of things, water pump and possibly AC compressor.

    But yeah I'm sure this used $20 alternator is not gonna last long lol. I should have replaced the brushes when the engine was out before grrr

    Re: My 86 Prelude Thread

    haha

    This came out nice. When i first started reading I was like oh god this is gonna be a piece of shit, then i went thru the whole thread. Good job

    Just a heads up. If you develop another leak on the oil pan. Its probably from someone over tightening it. They only need to be at about 5 to 7 lbs of torque. People always over tighten them. it ends up squishing the gasket out, and also deforms the bolt hole in the pan. If you take it back off smack the holes with a ball peen hammer and make it flat again. I use a quarter inch socket set to tighten my pan bolts and do snug. They really don't need any more than that. Also, they make this stuff called "The Right Stuff" by permatex. You put on a bead like any thing else, and install. No wait time. Takes 5 minute to cure, and will never leak. Sometimes I don't even use a pan gasket, just that stuff. not a single drop comes out.

    Re: My 86 Prelude Thread

    The pan didn't leak before. But I replaced it anyway while the engine is out. It seemed like its on the original factory gasket even. Or was done properly since I didn't see any excess gasket maker stuff on. 99% of the 'mechanics' here went overboard with them and guess what? They would always leak. I used OEM gasket and torqued the bolts properly and everything according to the manual and there is no leak

    Updates!

    I've done this last week but never bothered to update my thread lolol.

    My center vents trim is so brittle that it broke into thousand pieces when I took it off to fix the cracks forming around the vents. I had the vents fixed before as few of the tabs were broken and they won't turn properly. I noticed some cracks before so I epoxied them from the back. Looks like it doesn't hold up so I'm taking it apart and tried plastic welding



    Welded together using some old printer's case as donor plastic to melt away


    Sanded


    Painted!


    Back in car


    Also having a hard time finding a suitable location for my wireless charging phone dock. I hate using the suction cup on my windshield as it looked too busy from the outside. Gotta figure out and fabricate some brackets to mount it down low or something but the dash layout is so awkward that its limiting the possibilities

    What box?

    And mine came with the vent attachment except it wont fit properly due to my weird ass vent design. I don't like it there anyway. I need all my vents!

    I've acquired this cheap aftermarket ducktail spoiler for an 80s Lancer. Knowing it won't be a plug and play deal, I bought it anyway.

    Test fit.


    Duh. It's too short


    But it's nothing that I can't fix!






    Some fiberglass and bondo later..










    Not bad for like $30 spent
