Here’s my progression over the last 4 years with my 1992 Honda Accord EX 4 Door, 5 spd Manual.
2003: Stock
In my ricer stage, some seat covers, and some interior neons, and a shift knob…
2004: Blew the motor, brought the car to college, pulled the motor, and let the car sit for almost 2 years.
January 2006: Bought a parts car to take an f22 out of. Swapped in the newer f22a1, added all the f22a6 stuff. Purchased a few parts with some insurance money from my system getting stolen:
March 2006 : Re-registered the car and got it going.
One piece headlights, cf tails, zex wet nitrous kit, rust patch panels, i/h/e, fuel pump, pressure reg, and all sorts of little goodies.
Replaced some body panels with junkyard panels…
May 2006:
car gets slammed on coilovers, camber kits installed
June 2006: Body work started
July 2006 : Major body work done, patch panels installed and smoothed.
Car get’s primered.
August 13th 2006 : Spun a rod bearing, blown motor.
August 15th 2006: Old motor pulled, swapped accessories, clutch and tranny to junkyard longblock, reinstalled, total time, 7 hours.
January 21st 2007: Took a trip to Connecticut, and picked up a new parts car
Smashed, but the JDM H22A made it worth it…
March 20th - March 25th 2007
Took on a spring-break, one week project. Pulled the functional F22, and swapped in the H22. Stripped the front end, painted/undercoated the engine bay. Took care of alot of little things, replaced brakes and calipers all around. And spray bombed the car the most hideous color ever.
