marcusv8thunder : 1993 Accord 2.0i

[marcusv8thunder]

Well driveshafts have been fully rebuilt, every bit out, cleaned in petrol, and new grease put in and new boots on. Guess what, NO WHEEL SHAKE!!! problem solved!, lets hope this set of boots last longer than 6months.


Heres a bad news, distributor has decided to call it a day! so no start for this old Honda. Got a new one on order from USDM land.

A nice little find here pictures below:





Thats all really because ive been working on, and driving around in the other Accord

[marcusv8thunder]

Fixed up so little things yesturday, sorted out the front right speaker, failed on me, was just a wire connection issue, got my HIDs back in.

So, not driving the Accord for a couple of weeks and letting it chillout in the garage is not good! Wanted to give it a drive, and a run couldnt move it initially the brake pedal felt odd, anyway after working it out, it seems the soft brake lines have collapsed inside, providing a sort of one way valve for the fluid. Hit the brakes and then the brakes slowly release over a period of 5secs!

Clearly undrivable really, so on the hunt for some new ones, prefer to get some braided lines, Hels do them for the Accord but a set is like £100 ($150), seems a bit rich to me i dunno

very good tommi lol, i know im tight, and it made me think, dont scimp on brakes, ive got good pads discs and fluid, and the front calipers are in good form.

So yeah think im going to order them this week, and at the same time, take off the rear calipers and give them a good service, and some new fluid again.

Right here they are, look really tasty actually.



And a nice picture of it before i hit it major style, complete brake refresh, new pipes to fit, refreshing the callipers, got a calliper rebuild kit coming, and some new racing brake fluid.

Pads are good still, so are the discs as i renewed them with EBC stuff not too long ago. I am also got a backup plan if the callipers are a no go for some odd reason to take the bigger discs and callipers of the red accord, and refresh them instead. But undecided on that at the moment.

Well this wasnt planned nor on the list of things to buy, but this came up for a steal so i had to get it.

Honda Legend coupe front lip!

In pretty mint condition as well.




And a little sneaky addition inside the car.

[marcusv8thunder]

Ok well bit of DIY and TLC and the lip is on, defiantly changes the look of the front end, will take a while to get use to, but over all i think its a great improvement. I love how compatible Honda parts are.

[tommi]

hmm u can get a HONDA legend lip but i cant get a certain lip off you.

Thanks man

hmm u can get a HONDA legend lip but i cant get a certain lip off you.

I cant keep up with what you want, thought you wanted to hold off that "other" lip, cos you getting parts for you other car.

Anyway, this wasnt planned, neither was it on my list of things to get, but got a email from a guy breaking a Legend, and a grabbed the lip.

Front lip looks fantastic. Completely finishes off your car.

And yes, parts compatibility is awesome. I have/had many interchangable parts on my CBs.

Just gauging interest


So go to swap the mileage barrel over, but instead successfully fix the split hair wide wire with some solder. So after 3 years of no fuel needle guage, it now works! dam it why didnt i fix it before!
