    Rilas : 1993 Accord SE

    Here is my beloved '93 SE Coupe also known as "Lola." I picked up this car as my project car about 9 months ago and it had to sit for about 7 months while I finished the garage. Luckily this car is from New Mexico originally and just last year moved up to Montana. The body is totally rust free with only a few minor dents. Finally after it sitting all winter, waiting just looking at her everyday I finally got to get started. After much debate about how to take care of the tired F22A6 in it, the best route was a JDM low milage engine.

    Decked 0.004"

    Mild Wire Tuck
    PLM H22 4-2-1 Header
    MangaFlow Cat Back 2.25" Exhaust
    AEM V2 SRI for BB6

    Prothane Rear Motor Mount Insert (Stock Rear Motor Mount)
    ESP.net Rear T Bracket
    S2000 Clutch Master Cylinder
    Rywire B/D Clutch Line (Tucks and removes all the hard/soft lines from the car. Just a connection straight from the master to the slave cylinder.)

    I currently have a 1990 Accord LX Sedan that I am trying to sell due to excessive rust. Before this is sold though I need to return it to stock. This is going to include freshening up the original F22A6 that came out of Lola, to put in the sedan, so I can take the rebuilt F22A4 with many goodies, to put into a future sedan. Also the entire suspension/brakes/interior/transmission/control arms and a few other items I can't remember off the top of my head. All of this is going into Lola eventually. Hopefully by the end of this summer. But life always has suprises!

    MRT: 1993 Honda Accord SE Coupe (Lola)

    You should explain to the previous owner that they're supposed to put oil IN the engine instead of on it.

    And you picked quite the good looking head to rebuild. What was the reason for that?

    Great thread so far. I love this color of SE coupe and the way you're building it is as Honda should have from the factory. Keep us updated with the progress!

      Nice work

      Lola looks like a pretty girl and she sure seems too have a good heart.

          The head was rebuilt due to it being slightly warped after removing it to check the pistons. Also 4 of the exhaust valves had a slight leak to them when vacuum tested. So the rebuild was really for peace of mind.

            It's so much effort and I did it all by hand, since I can't roll it out of the garage right now. Totally worth it now that I can work on it without getting filthy!

            Thank you for the replies it should help keep me motivated!

                The plan is to swap it to a manual later. I need to get my H23 transmission out of my sedan first then it will be moving into this one. The auto in this one is still solid for the time being and it's getting all new AT fluid when it goes back in.

                  I managed to get a few things done with Lola today.

                  F22B Installed 1


                  F22B Installed 2


                  F22B Installed 3


                  Slim Puller Fan Installed on Radiator for A/C


                  I was also working on my egr tuck into the black box. I still need to get a chipped ECU so I can delete it. After I get it finalized I'll post some pictures of it. Other than that I just wrapped up some other small odds and ends.

                    Got a few more projects done on her in the last few days.

                    Preparing to tuck EGR Valve


                    Extended Wires to reach original EGR plug in engine wiring harness


                    EGR Valve Stuffed into black box in place of map sensor, 2 mounting tabs had to be cut off to make this all fit.


                    Black box ready to be installed


                    Black box installed with ODBI to ODBII map sensor jumper harness


                    EGR wiring to engine harness plug


                    Radiator set into place


                    Look at all of that room even with the automatic tranmission

                          Thanks for the compliment, your coupe is looking great as well. Hopefully I'll have mine on road soon.

                          Thanks a lot man! It takes a lot of time and effort to figure out a plan and then execute it. Sometimes the smallest seeming project can end up taking a few hours, like to move that stupid EGR valve!

                          This weekend yielded some more progress. Nothing really picture worthy. Installed a new OEM thermostat, OEM fuel filter, a few custom brackets for the last few electrical connectors. Also wrapped up a bunch of loose ends as well as installed all of the hose clamps that I could. I still need to buy both of the heater core hoses. This will finish the cooling system.

                          I spent a few hours underneath trying to clean off 22 years worth of oil and dirt. That had almost turned into some sort of grease that was awful to clean the residue off. Took a ton of elbow grease to get it cleaned, but it looks good now. Finished cleaning the bottom of the transmission as well since it was on the ground while I cleaned the rest. Also while underneath I got the flex plate bolted to the torque converter and torqued down. There is more I'm sure but as it's late and it's been a long weekend I think thats enough for tonight.

                            Got to put in some more work last night. Actually managed to get a few things accomplished.

                            Rack and Pinion and Front Sway Bar removed (Front ABS sensors as well)


                            Front Sway Bar Damaged (Noticed this awhile back, but just got to removing this stuff. Have a 99 CL 3.0 solid Front Sway Bar to replace it.)


                            Bad Tie Rods Drivers Side


                            Bad Tie Rods Passenger Side


                            Dirty Center Beam 1


                            Dirty Center Beam 2


                            Cleaned Up Center Beam 1


                            Cleaned Up Center Beam 2


                            I also spend a good deal of time cleaning the bottom of the rear subframe, where the rack and pinion came out of. It's filthy up in there as well, you can tell from what the rack looked like in the picture above. Now that this rack is out I can finish up converting my other rack and pinion to a manual rack and pinion. I'll post up a few pictures of the process as I noticed there is something missing in the DIY that causes some play in the wheel. I'll get my new tie rods ordered this week and hopefully sometime next week I'll have the steering all put back together. I also finished my ODBII distributor to ODBI wiring harness jumper, but forgot to take a picture of it. I can post this up later.

                              It's pictures like these that make these types of members' rides threads even better than the cars with thousands of dollars dumped into them.
