    Exclamation senna89's CA5 2.0i-16v Build-Thread

    Hello guys!

    So here we go! A lot of things happened since last time, when i introduced myself in the Newbie area!
    I dont want to repeat all things, so the prehistory of my project can be red here:

    https://www.3geez.com/forum/newbie-in...continued.html

    So as I mentioned at the beginning there was my black Accord CA5 16v-A.L.B. blacktop with 133hp built in 1989


    But there was a lot of rust, especially under the sideskirts and rear wheel archs... The left sideskirt was literally no more existent. So this was the main reason, why the technical authority here not gave me permission to drive my car anymore...







    This was really hard. I had to put it in garage. As far as I am a student, a rebuild was too hard financially and because of time and know-how reasons. So i put it away and waited till spring 2013....

    Re: senna89's CA5 2.0i-16v Build-Thread

    In Mid 2012 i contacted "cyra" here at 3geez who lives in Czech Republic. I asked him about some parts for CA5. At that time he didn't replied to my message. But in March 2012 he sent me a message, and told me that he doesnt have any relevant parts anymore, but he is thinking to sell his "black" 12V "Special-Edition" with only 60.000 kilometers!

    At that time I met a guy from Munich (Germany) named "Sepp". He is a CA5 enthusiast too, and he rebuilt his 3G some years ago. He has the same car like "Stezie" and it looks damn hot... Here are some pics...



    He had a garage, and he gave me the advice to buy the car from "cyra". But I wanted a 16V DOHC with all this interior and performance not a SOHC 12-valve...

    So he said, lets fusion both cars... And so this mad story took his own dynamic...

    So i took my 16-valve to Munich...

    So the plan was: Putting out EVERYTHING 16-valve concerned (interior, engine, brakes etc.) and put in to the nearly new body of the 12-Valve. The color code was the same. And some things were even better in the "Special Edition" for example, the metal and painted door handles...

    inside the operation theatre Dr. Sepp started the operation:






    The heart beat stopped...

    What an awesome project! I can't believe your donor and recipient cars were both black. Very lucky there.

    Thanks guys!

    @Japmanmike: I can look for some for you... Just let me know with pn what you wanna pay for some...

    Can you guys remember my post in August last year, when i was desperately searching for the genuine bodykit?

    Some said i can forget it to find one...
    https://www.3geez.com/forum/appearanc...ml#post1101489

    So look yourself... LITERALLY haha

    Few weeks ago i went to Toulouse (France) and we took the silver car to Germany... 1400 kilometres distance was a lot. The body is scrap, but i can utilize the parts... ;-)










    And now he waits in asecret place in Germany to get dissembeled...

    I visited Sepp few days ago. He dissembled the Silver one totally. Even the gear knob unit was totally different of 12v and 16v. We did not noticed that, when we transferred the 16v to 12v. So now we changed it.

    Furthermore we restored the drivers seat, whith new seat sponge.



    Sepp worked out the whole harness of the silver car. We wanted to transfer the Cruise-Control to my car, but it was too much work and too hard. We separated the Cruise-Control harness from the main harness. But transferring it to my car took to much time and energy, so we aborted it. The harness-tree is totally different :cry: Maybe sometime next year i try it again...

    The Bodykit is in work for restoring and painting... I will take the other "Styleauto" sideskirts, because those of the silver one are in an desolate codition and too much broken. Furthermore the "Styleauto" sideskirts look a bit more decent (look to the last silver car with "styleauto" kit...
