deevergote : 1992 Accord LX

[cb7_with_snail]

Any up dates boss man?

[deevergote]

Yeah, I have. I adjusted it all the way up, all the way down, and now it's right in the middle where it seems most of them are.

My friend's dad used a big pipe to pry the shifter fork lever, to force a bubble out of the slave cylinder. It worked for him, but I wasn't there when he did it, and I can't figure out what he did! That's my last resort.

AndyD, I didn't see that post until just now! Maybe that's all I need to do... just try driving the sucker and see if it comes back to life. I don't see how it would, but who knows. I'm just afraid that with partial pressure, it's going to do damage to the already crappy clutch components that I have in there (especially since they're brand new... that's no way to break in a new clutch/flywheel/pressure plate!) My new clutch stuff is XTD Stage 1 garbage. I only used it because my friend across the street had it on hand, needed money, and learned after he bought it how horrible XTD is.

Deev, have you tried adjusting the clutch master cylinder rod for free play?

I had the same problem with my Accord after I swapped the H22 into it. It just wouldn't catch full pressure. Only ~50% pressure. My friend and I kept at it and when he finally got tired of it, we tightened everything up and he left. I left it that way and drove it around the neighborhood a few times. Amazingly, full pressure eventually made it's way back and has been that way ever since (over a year ago).

[deevergote]

Only two things... minor, but enough that I haven't been able to fix it.
I replaced the clutch and clutch hydraulics (twice on the hydraulics now...) and I can't get more than half-pressure in the pedal. That's what's keeping me from driving it. The other issue is the driver's side front window regulator... it wasn't mounted properly (or it was a crap aftermarket piece), and the mounting screws sawed away at the mounting holes in the door. SO, properly mounting and aligning a window regulator now is going to be very difficult.

i haven't really dug into this thread but what's wrong with the car now? like why isn't it on the road?? and if i lived in NJ i'd definitely help you get her back. lol.

[deevergote]

That sucks man!

Yeah, Phantom Gray is a stock color. Mine was painted (twice) by Maaco, and neither job was very accurate. The first job had a hint of brown/green to it, and it was awesome. The second looks more like the 7th gen Accord dark gray... not as cool (it's what I have now.

I really need to get this thing back on the road. I miss it! I sit in it from time to time, and it just smells like home.

[CB7freak92]

i love this car, man. is phantom grey an OEM color? my car was originally grey, but the damn guy that had it before me painted it black. and it looks like they did it themselves. not to mention the mexican flame decals that were on the sides of the car (came off the first day i got it because they made me throw up a little). but yeah, i wanna do my car the stock grey that it was. it looked like more of a gun metal grey maybe.

but i LOVE your carrr!!!

Good luck Deev, I know you can do it.
Just takes time, good luck with your 3gee too lol!

[HATCHing]

Very nice... reminds me of my own CB project... although I just start my last summer.

[deevergote]

Will do!

This car will soon become a major project... restoration, then performance (maybe a little of both at the same time...)

Eventually, it'll probably be caged and turned into a track car. I have a good road course about 45 minutes away (and a good drag strip the same distance in the other direction!)

Ah the bosses thread nice! Soon to be back on the road then!

Keep us posted!
