        The Pick Up

        I bought the car from K-mart, as a spur of the moment thing while i dealt with my 5 lug swap issues.

            Wiring Issues:

            The car was Auto-Manual swapped (wiring messed up there), Had a VAFC (the biggest piece of shit ever made, EVER.), had messed up map sensor wiring, not properly wire for vtec, and the wipers were wired to a toggle swtich.

            First up: tackle the VAFC


            I pulled out the VAFC harness, wire taps and reconnected,solder, heat shrinked every connection


            Next VTEC wiring.


            Rather than Pin the ecu, whoever swapped it to begin with crammed wires into the connector and ziptied them to wire they were next to.

            Map sensor wire was cut short due to the VAFC, I re-pinned the wire with a slightly longer one and soldered/HS it, problem solved.

            The wipers were wired to a toggle switch, which still didn't work then. So i broke out the power probe and found a loose connection in the back of the fuse box, new fuse and fixed connection solved it.




            I have most of the wiring solved, everything works as it should and everything is reading properly according to the hondata. only took a couple of hours to fix it all.


            Mount Issues:

            when the car was converted, no special method/mounts were used. The car had :Auto rear mount and bracket, Prelude front crossmember and mount, Prelude side mount and stock CB7 Accord drivers side.

            I corrected this to: DX/LX rear mount and bracket, CB7 accord front crossmember and mount, CB7 accord driver's side mount w/ 3/8" spacers and the prelude mount, So far i have not had issues with this and I do plan on getting the ESP's in the near future.

                  I can assist if needed after about 9:00.
                  When I get off in Soddy, I have to go to the skate park and fix some of the ramps.

                      Nope, Bought it outright to make it into a nice,clean,presentable daily driver.

                      The white accord is now the slut car, I am going to experiment, tuck, boost, build and do everything to it once this one is complete. I finally figured out that modifying a daily driver extensively is not the way to go.
