Straight Success : 1993 Accord EX

[XCRN]

Congratulations, you have one of the few rustless Hondas in Ohio! Supposedly Saturday should be alright to do work, you have cover after all. About the only thing that will prevent me from working this weekend is if it is raining or snowing.

[Straight Success]

No way am I working in sub freezing temperatures.

I can wait a few weeks for it to warm up. In the interim, I can scrap together some cash to buy a new knock sensor.

[Straight Success]

She chillin' right now. Hopefully in a few more weeks I'll have her operational.

When y'all see what I buy next, you're going to be like, this guy is crazy about his CB7.

[Straight Success]

She's finally back up and running after a 2 1/2 years. Patiently waiting to drive her again. I have a few ends to tie up, but she'll be registered really really soon.

Shout out to anyone who sold me parts or gave me the motivation needed to see it through. We're almost there.

I cannot wait to see her on the road and registerd. Will she be registered in Ohio or PA?

You ever install the coupe visors that I gave you?

I know you moved out to Ohio for work but are you living out there for good?

[cb9love]

She'll be registered here as this is where my primary residence is as of now. The visors, no! They're still sitting in my trunk. I have to hunt down the clips for them.

I have a few things in the works. I'll talk to you about it in person.

Felt pretty damn to hear her start and run. She brings a smile to my face right now. In person, this thing sounds so damn aggressive. I don't even know if it's bone stock or not. I know I have an aluminum crank pulley, and the motor once was sniffing nitrous. However, she sounds VERY healthy. I tapped the throttle, and she roared nice and smooth.





Additional problems.

1. The H22 header that I received was for a 1997+, which is 1 3/4" too short. I'll get it extended to fit up to the stock cat.

2. I have a small oil leak between the oil pan and gasket. I'll try to tighten the bolts in that area. If that doesn't work, I'll drop the pan and reseal it.

3. I have a water/coolant leak between the thermostat housing and the water pipe. I've ordered the rubber seals, and I plan on installing them soon.

4. When the car is sitting there idling in neutral, the speedo reads ~10 mph. (I have to troubleshoot later).

5. I have to set the base idle to ~650. I think that's where it's supposed to idle at. I have to check.

6. I may have to adjust the TPS. We'll see.

7. Tried to bleed my brakes, and it was a no go. I think I need to re-bench bleed the master while the car is running. I'll figure it out soon.



Maybe I'll be able to drive it this weekend. Let's see.

Well, today I idled it out of the garage and once around my apartment complex shifting between 1st and 2nd.

I still have to finish bleeding my brakes and get my down pipe situation fixed. After that I can tackle the check engine light, and find where this very small leak/drip is coming from.

I'll probably have some pictures and videos to upload this week of her.

I'm at the beyond frustrated point with this car.

I can't quit, I ain't gonna sell it, I'm just stuck like.....

This damn brake booster replacement is a pain in the ...

[cb9love]

keep pushing forward, if your that frustrated then you must be almost over the hump.
Here's hoping it works it self out soon.

Keep chipping away at it, piece by piece, and you'll eventually come out with a fine sculpture.

Thanks for the encouragement. It's needed.

True. I've been subscribed to his MR thread. His car is pretty clean. If I keep this, I'll get mines as nice as some people's car who I don't have to mention on here.
