Mike1357 : 1992 Accord EX

Finally got around to installing the radiator and hose kit. These have been sitting in front of my toolbox for weeks now.

So going in to install the lower control arms, I met this. Apparently this is a really common problem? 3 other people I talked to ran into the same issue.

Yes this is common on older Hondas. Not just accords either, my buddies 3rd gen Integra had the same issue same with another friends civic as well.

I used to have a slot car back in the day that had a similar finish on it. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Those are the Cheddas Auto control arms and yeah, they have poly bushings. I may write a review on them.

Gorgeous valve cover! Seriously reminds me of my dad's bowling ball way way back in the day! So clean!

Which control arms are those? Is it safe to assume the bushings are polyurethane?

Finally had some time to install a few parts this weekend. After a few weeks of sitting on my tool box I installed my new valve cover.

After cutting those out it was time for the shiny things.

I did get the pm. When I read the Craigslist post I realized that battery wasn't right for my application. In hindsight I probably should've gotten back to you on that. Sorry about that.

Solid, those remind me of FFC's set somewhat.

Did you get my PM response to you about the PC680? I sent you all the dimensions.

[Mike1357]

New shiny things.

Honestly. Not kissing butt here, but this is how I always wanted to build my car... visors, flares, lipkit, spoiler! I WANT

I've done a front bumper swamp on my 9091 to the 9293 because I like that bumper, but I know the 9091 rear has more lips for it. You make me really want to start working on my car again. It's looked the same for so long.

Keep up the awesome work! Love your car.

Hahaha! Thanks for the positive words man. Honestly, the biggest reason I didn't want to do a bumper swap was because I didn't want to cut the cover for the rear fog again. A lot of things are happening really fast currently and it's got me a little weirded out. I don't want to lose touch with the build, if that makes sense.

It's coming along Mike, I can relate on buying parts to be different but then have a bit of a pull back because of thinking it's to much or not enough. Overall the out. One is looking really nice

Thanks a lot. I sometimes worry that I'll get to a point where I want to go back to a previous look or modification. Maybe that's why I take so many pictures. I need a little time for the new mods to sink in.

Great progress man. I love the new spoiler over the Rocket Bunny. I think this one fits the personality and styling of your car better. Fantastic job on the aggressive look of the CB7. Keep up the good work!

There's a special place in my heart for the Rocket Bunny but this spoiler is growing on me. The sleeker look is a tad difficult to get used to but I think overall it will be better. I might grab a window visor now to make it flow a little better.

I'm glad I'm not the only person that likes the looks. There was a point where I wasn't sure about this whole build direction.

The lip is a real-deal Erebuni Sigma 129a. I may have some side skirts later this year. The 9293 rear lips are a bit harder to find than the 9091.

That spoiler looks so good! And I am really liking the rear-lip!!

Is that rear-lip an ebay knockoff?
