Hey guys,
I just wanted to say that i miss this site and all of you. I sold the accord approx 1 year ago with no regrets. I needed something with the same gas mileage as the cb but something with more space and luxury. This is how she looked when i bought it last year for $4,700 with 159k miles with 18in fugly diablo vienna rims :
look at all that space!
After a couple of months of driving i discovered it had a leak in the transmission. It drips 1 quart every 2 weeks depending on how much driving. on the plus side it was kind of like a transmission flush for the last year. Just last weekend i removed it myself.
Here is a very crude illustration of where it was leaking. the bottom is the transmission itself and the red lines is transmission fluid.
Now i looked into it some more and discovered that these 2 torx bolts were loosened by 3 turns. I guess when the previous owner swapped the motor he didnt tighten these bolts all the way
So i tightened these suckers up and replaced the front pump seal. Along with some other misc parts. After installation this car drives great. I cant wait to lower it amongst other things. So these are some current pictures after a nice wash n wax. I sold the hideous rims and found some stocker 16 in rims.
Engine:
- Swapped M112 from a CLK320 with 160k miles on chassis.
Exterior:
- Hood ornament delete
- mbjunkies sticker
- MB Roof crossbars
Interior:
- Stock black leather
- limo tint
- sagging headliner
Suspension:
- stock for now
ICE:
- Tape and 6cd changer
Future plans:
- H&R cup kit
- badass audio setup
- AMG monoblock rims
Thanks errybody.
