    cheers mate

    went to the scrap yard today to see what i could find....found this from a si exclusive...getting out the harness i found that it also connected to the visor on the passender side and scored a mirror with a light on it sweeeeet.grabbed them both...handy options

    got the strips off the doors also, will be sweet with a sand paint and pollish the chrome

    working b20 a just have to find a manual gear box and im in business...i can grab the cams and computer from the white vigor below and head even...need more time to scour the yard




    those markers are clearable ones too...forgot them...no one will take them though next time maybe...





    iv found two sets of twin piston calipers so far..



    next time im getting the vigor rear middle light thing where the number plate normally is...it will be sick

    yeah i need to have another look for those...how do you tell the difference? iv never seen a pair on an accord...anyone got picks of them installed? is the mechanism built into the actual mirror or just the bit the mirror mounts on? i searched and couldnt find pics...what else should i be looking for? where is thebutton located for them too?

    also i can grab those visors off the exclusive if someone wants them? twin piston calipers depending on how much they want for them as well over the next few months...think around 60 for the calis and 40 for the visors...thats oz so like 35 and 22 us then add shipping...also have a map light for the non sunroof sedan i can chuck on ebay or something if anyones interested?

    Yeah had another look at it....think i might grab the motor from this in the future and use the complete harness from the whit vigor...just need to locate a 5speed that fits and there are no 2gen prelude b20as there....the auto must be similiar to the one in the lude which would be too much effort to wire in.lockup etc..if only i could find one lol, yeah 126000 kms on the blacktop, think the gold top may be a headgasket failure judging by the tow bar...

    yeah it has folding mirrors but theres only one door,,fuckers took the whole passenger door sometime ago..anyway i have the switch which is cool, and i just took the drivers mirror off and hid it in the boot until i can locate another one...need to investigate the wiring harness as well but i suspect the control box may have been taken with the passenger door...

    did any other cars come with folding mirrors like the legend or prelude?

    any way i grabbed a full set of honda fitted mats from the vigor, got its sidemarkers cause one of mines smashed, grabbed the clear turnies from the exclusive which i discovered later dont even fit my bumper.lol..dirt cheap though..few other bits and pieces..that folding mirror switch i mentioned...few rubbers etc

    homo forum software double posting on me !!!!!!


    anyways that grey car has got power folding mrirors, that button on the mirror switch next to the left and right switch makes them fold, the control box is in the passenger door with a blue plug going to it, No guarantees anyone here will buy them tho i have 23895489 sets that no one wants and so does my mate matt

    the blacktop has done some low kms so it will be good as gold, Still only like 20 more HP than your a20a4 but hey. i prefer the gold top. 160PS as opposed to 145PS. But on a motor that old you cant even tell the difference lol so get either.

    Grab the ECU from that gold top B20A for future thinking, The blacktop ones useless with EGR IACV and other un needed shit that the gold top one doesnt have, That means u can run a b16 intake on the b20 without an error codes!!!!

    yeah as for the tow bar, it gets up to 40 degrees celcius here in the summer, combine that with towing a load and the ac and wala..over heat that bad boy....its possible theres nothing wrong with it and they just forgot to mark it too....

    any way if i can find a box ill grab one of them...ill probably have a look at the goldie first, it has 189 on the clock, but i could get it and freshn up the bottom end i suppose, are the black and gold bottom ends the same? i would be running the vigor harness cause emissions stuff is shit....or maybe obd 1 which ever is less work lol.

    as for the mirrors, im keen to put them on mine hey, ill keep looking around but how much would u want for a pair plus the box since i already have the switch? would you chuck them on trademe or ebay or through paypal or something?

    suppose if i cant find a box ill just have to go to plan b series or h series depending on how im feeling when i get to that stage, or turbo the a series which would be the cheapest option but reliability could be an issue..i wonder if sr20 factory turbo pistons could be used in the block?

    tint goes on next week, goto wire map light and put new power sun visor in, wire factory foglight switch in to the harness i made, vigor side moldings, another glove box latch, prelude ucas, etc then i get to the 5 speed swap which needs to happen very soon....

    i rekon if i could get the mirror and control box for 100 including postage would be reasonable for the both of us...postage would be 30-40 guessing...mirrors arelike 10 from the jy generally which leaves you 50 for ur handling , seem good? chuck in the other as well if your feeling generous lol

    Nice work!


    I went parts hunting in Australia once, that's where I got my Euro/Aus Taillights and Enkei Rims, which took up my entire suit case on my flight home to Hawaii. Or I might have shipped them in boxes, that was a while ago.

    It's a shame I couldn't bring home the B20A as well.
