    Very Nice!! Sleeper indeed. Made quick work outta this.

    You don`t have the rubber shrouds for the fog lights?
    I and other people use door edge trim to clean up the cut out. Works really well.

      Thanks!
      I'll be stopping by the Home De-pot soon.
      Here's some daylight pictures.








      All power steering lines are replaced, any hose the coolant touches has been replaced, car is aligned, I'm having exhaust "loosen" up & a resonator installed tomorrow, I'm bringing it to a friends shop to make sure the A/C system is on the up and up. Here's a picture of all the liquids I used if anyone cares.

      Out of the blue, my ex wants to sell me this

      Because little things, like the climate control, door handle and sh*t keeps breaking. I've convinced her to reconsider, So most likely I'll have another sh*tbox within a year....... Life is a trip.

        I've put a little over 7k since the swap, it's a great daily driver. Unfortunately it does lose a quart of oil in between changes, because;

        It has been leaking since the swap... I'm gonna go ahead and blame myself on that one. Although when I was finishing the swap I ran into a unforeseen oil pan & header fitment issue. I thought I just needed to swap the my old pan and pickup. Before I started that process i called Steve, and I was told to do that and swap the girdles as well. While doing that, I gummed up two dowel pins while extracting them from their home, so I had to special order them and wait.

        Now here's the excuse, the crankshaft was hanging without main caps for three days, it negatively effected the rear main seal. I don't thinks it's likely, but I'm reaching. Just recently it appears to have stop losing oil, it's been sitting steady at a couple millimeters above the second dot for a couple weeks now. Next oil change I'll clean that area to see if that leak persists. In the meantime I've replaced the front pads, cleaned and oiled the filter;


        It Looks like I'll be getting another Cb7 in a month or so.

            Well, I lowered it, right after my last post. I'm pleasantly surprised with ride quality. I've put 3k miles on it since, 2k of it is because I took it on a road trip to the mountains north of Boise. Things to note on that trip; F*ck my .812 fifth, which results in a 4k rpm@80 mph & 24-28 mpg, passing cars on two lane highways is fun, need an AC cutoff at 4.5k rpm, and I'm astonished that my front lip wasn't ripped off from berms and my brothers parking.

            here's pics of the components and the car:

              It's been awhile.

              So, it has been a little bit since my last post. Here's an update hopefully in chronological order:

              I installed a Vigor steering wheel with a '94 Prelude airbag(8-'15).



              I was having a problem with car dying when it was 100+ weather. Dremeling out the the fuel injector ports and plugging the EGR holes was the first I did to try and remedy it. Luckily it worked(5-'16). I also installed the Prothane urethane master kit in the front then.



              I was going to tap and plug the EGR ports above the runners, but the Golden Eagle thermal gasket had some material that I didn't need to.



              Fun in the snow.





              Ohh yeah, here's a story. Back in August of '15, I found a 1996 Prelude Vtec at a "you pull it" type junkyard that was going out of business, because of that I pulled bought the engine and trans for $120 only wanting the trans. So I ended up selling the engine for $120 to a friend. When I first got the trans it didn't shift into fifth. When I dissected the M2F4, I found that fifth was toast. Fast forward to a couple years later, I finally get around to pulling an accord fifth and everything needed to swap out the Prelude fifth for an Accord fifth all for $12 at pull-a-part. I brought the accord fifth(.685) to my work's machine shop with all measurements and had it machined to fit, even with the same oil reliefs. I can't find any pics if that fifth after machining. I also installed Synchrotech carbon synchros and installed the M2F4 guts with the .685 fifth in my M2S4 case with the Quaife LSD(5-'18). It's a nice setup.







              Then I got it painted with the spoiler I've always wanted, and then shaved it.











              Here it is right after paint(5-'18)...





              I got a '15 Civic Si exhaust can (11-'15), and finally got the tip welded up(12-'18)



              I went five lug and bought these rims because I found these for $100(1-'19)...



              After some machining and money it looks like this now..





              And its current form...

                  Very solid build! I'm a sucker for a CB on TL waffles. How does that diff feel through the twisties?

                    It's really good, would recommend. I feel like there is a huge and notable difference between an open diff car and a properly working LSD car when it comes to driving dynamics and handling characteristics. Also, I have a hard on for Quaife because of how it acts and this:
                    Originally posted by Quaife
                    The Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential never locks harshly with a set pre-load of wheel slip across the driven axle, like a conventional LSD. Rather, the Quaife ATB differential automatically biases the torque away from the spinning wheel across the axle, to a constantly varying degree, and never locks. The Quaife ATB Helical LSD differential has many benefits over a standard open differential, including maximising traction and minimizing wheel spin, eliminating torque steer and snatching in front wheel drive cars compared to conventional LSD units, and a maintenance-free design
                    I've had this LSD for 9 years and I've been beating on it all the time, like a teenager finding free porn... Matter of fact none of my cars have it easy...

                    No issues with it, yet.

                      Finally got around to some general maintenance; timing belt, balancing belt, tensioners, water pump, cam seals, crank seal, balancing shaft seal(not the O-ring on the right shaft), valve cover gasket kit, plugs, wires, cap and rotor.(3-19)


                      [IMG]

                      Annoyingly, the only seal/o-ring that I didn't replace started leaking right afterwards. So naturally like most adversity I ignored it, and watched the oil level. Until it was marking its' territory everywhere it went, pretty substantially.(4-19)



                      But, the main catalyst was finding a legend coupe lip after a year of looking to replace the other one on my car that was in poor condition because one of the mounts was ripping off.



                      Since I was taking off the bumper I finally address the headlights...



                      Also, my friend made use his not OEM red valve cover.













                      After I refinished the headlights I put a ceramic coating on them to hopefully inhibit their inevitable deterioration from the Arizona sun.
