    wildBill83 : 1992 Accord LX

    So this is the car I just bought the other day for $550. It's a maroon 4dr LX 5spd.

    The good, it has no rust and a decent body and it is a manual.

    The bad, it was owned by a moron, who ruined the cooling fans because he thought they were both supposed to run all the time, now the primary fan only runs when A/C is on. This caused the motor to over heat and the water pump to fail. He also decided JB Weld belongs in CV joints.

    Needless to say I'm just tearing into the car to find out what else he "fixed".

    Nice score, man. Hopefully you don't find too many other issues.

          I wish I could find an Accord in that condition with that price or maybe lower.

            I have the wire harness out and the coolant system out of the way. I'm in Dallas for the weekend. I'll post photos this coming week.

              I'll post some photos up soon, I ran into some troubles and time issues. I hope to have the photos up later today.

              It's looking like I need to replace the pass. side knuckle and axle because the PO destroyed the brass axle nut.

              Please check my WTS/WTT thread in the classifieds if you have spare F22A1 parts.

              Both this thread and the WTS/WTT thread will be updated shortly with photos.

              All parts traded for will receive credit and a detailed write up for the community to share in my experience and maybe convince some folks to undertake a large mechanical restoration project or repair on their own.

                If you have access to a welder, you should be able to weld a rod onto that nut to spin it off. That way you can just buy a new nut and not a whole knuckle and axle.

                    Motor is out, look for photos in my motor removal thread once I'm not too lazy to upload them.

                    I'm debating on how to go about the manual to auto swap on this beast with the most OEM route. Either way it is going to sit under a tree as a shell while I replace seals on the motor and start to tear apart my SE and get it ready for the manual swap.

                      Damaged axle nut:



                      I'm thinking a pissed off midget with a jack hammer stopped by to do maintenance on these axles.

                        I think I got most of them listed now. My main concern is getting her pulled apart and gathering parts to complete her. I updated the first thread with the damages I have found so far.

                          Since the motor is out, and I plan to do upgrades to the motor in the future, I'm adding an OEM oil cooler to the F22A1 block from my H22A4. Texas heat kills, and this summer is going to be hot!

                          Anyone know if the F22A1 has holes for a windage tray in the girdle? I wonder if my spare windage tray will bolt right up.... Hmmmm.

                            It has provisions for it.

                              Does this mean there are tapped holes or untapped holes? I'm planning to retrofit an H22 windage tray to the F22. Slight modifications might be needed I assume. I'll see when I get the motor taken apart in the next few days I'll know for sure.
