Well I guess it's time to share my work in progress. Here is my 92 Accord project car!
At my first drag race, 1/8mile
Engine bay as of Dec 31, 2015
Girlfriend driving while I CROME
Here's the story for those not following my Beginners sections posts:
My Brother has had his 92 accord ex (canadian, so f22a1) for about 9-10 years and he's been pretty good to it maintenance wise, although he did drive it like he stole it. Its been parked as his "spare" car for around a year now because he has a Bugeye WRX and an Audi A4. Early spring 2015 we were chatting one day and he said "there's no point in selling it, I need to find someone who will appreciate it" so I told him "let me build a race car!".....
And that's when I hit google and found this wonderful forum.
So previous to me taking over the project it has:
My hopes are around 200hp one day, but no rush getting there. I'm starting with the top end and moving to the bottom end over 2016.
Now:
ENGINE
EXTERIOR
INTERIOR
And last, here is my new engine to build my FrankenBuild
F23A1 from a 2002 Accord with 170,000km on it. Going to put my top end on it a la jdm92_accorn style.
