[acefighter028]

New stuff found at junkyard and from friends...

Can you tell what they are?....






















....A 1986 Honda Prelude shift knob. Will have to get a new shift boot for the prelude knob to look right.

Some Acura Legend stalk boots. Thanks, Tippey764, for the DIY

Got the center cap from Tommi for my Lude wheel.

Had to do some touch up with model paint because i kinda scratched t "H" cleaning off the whatever it was that was on it. Still need the clock spring and the connector for the back.

I also got rid of that nasty discolored de-frost button and swapped it for a nice one.

Later!

I can help get stuff together. I can kinda take charge in KC until Happy is back. I will try to get everybody up to Wichita next time though.

Looks good but i dont have the means of installing it at the moment...Because of the cluster of wires and safety gear and this and that

i decided to put on the OEM wheel till i get a new clockspring.

Also some pictures of the carbon fiber

Thank you! I took it off though untill i get it lowered on new wheels

[acefighter028]

Decided to keep it. So i shortened the shifter more and cleaned it up.


Next things on my list to do on the performance: Replace main seals, oil pan gasket and valve cover gasket. Do an overhead on the engine (adjust valve clearance). New cat and cat-back exhaust. replace clutch disc and timing belt while im in there to get the seals.

for exterior: fix rust and sand the entire car down. replace drivers door. new rear bumper. primer and prepare for paint

Interior: Radio block off. Broadway mirror. clock block off. new passenger door handle.

Got to find a temporary way to make the piston rings last for a lil longer since im not keeping the "F". In this car at least.

BA4 Steering wheel installed

well its in. took alot of work and help from my father but i think it turned out great except for the steering wheel still rubs on the column.

First off this is what i used to make the connectors for the harness. Same kind of plugs that are in the male end of the airbag harness

just got a bridge rectifier and cut it apart to get the plugs then soldered wire to them.





Notice the airbag light is off Just needed a 2 ohm resistor to trick the srs system. Didnt have a 2 ohm so we just took two 4 ohm resistors and hooked them up in a parallel circuit.

Finished product

Cruise control and horn still work to. I love how this wheel looks in the cb interior. glad i finally got this done.

GTFO srs system

Cruise control still functional?

What a piece. You should sell it and buy a Supra. Or a Starion.
