    I will check that out. So I need the Vin or something? Maybe a sticker on the unit itself? My local Honda parts dealer isn't the best. But it would be pretty cool to get it working.

      I might be able to get the code for you if that doesn't work out...

        There is a sticker on the head unit itself. This is the number the Honda dealer needs to give you the code. If you can't get it, I certainly can for you. I've been working with my Honda parts guys for 10 years. Hell they now just cut me keys if I bring them a VIN number. No questions asked, because they trust that I'm not stealing cars.

          Same here. Most of the local Honda dealer's parts guys know my phone number when I call. Assuming the radio is the original in the car, they should be able to provide the code given the VIN, otherwise, as Rilas said, there is a serial number on the radio itself and given that they can supply the code. I go ahead and write the code on the radio (who's gonna steal it fhese days?). The cars with a coded radio came with a card in the owner's manual with the code on it.

          Be careful entering it. If you screw up three times, you then have to leave the radio powered for 20 minutes (if I remember correctly) or more before you can try again.

            Awesome! Thank you! I will get to this in exactly one week as that's my next day off.

            My local Honda dealership has a lacking parts department in my experience. I called a week ago to get an A/C line. They said it was unavailable and no ETA from the manufacturer. Like they couldn't get it. I went on Hondapartsnow and had it to me in 3 days. So this may be very helpful.

            Again, super awesome. I really appreciate it! I wish I had a relationship with my Honda parts department like that. Lol

            I take it I'll need the code everytime I disconnect the batter. Correct?

              I have the 1993 parts car ready to leave the garage and this 1992 (MRT car) ready to pull in and begin swapping parts.

              Parts I have removed to swap :

              - Headliner, visors and dome light assy
              - Rear seat, three piece set
              - Front seats w/ mounting bolt covers
              - Rear deck cover/carpet piece w/ speaker assys
              - MATCHING KEY - Door lock cylinders, trunk lock cylinder,
              ignition lock/ cylinder assy, glove box lock/ latch. With OEM master key (Probably my favorite)
              - Hood. Already swapped
              - Driver side filler panel
              - Driver side inner and outer tail light Assy
              - Antenna mast Assy
              - Hood prop rod clip
              - Rear bumper impact bar
              - Rear bumper cover
              - Grill assy (not gold but in better condition than current)
              - OEM fog light complete Assy

              I believe this is a complete list.

              I have to find a tire in 205/70R15 for the 1993 parts car in order to get it out of my garage. That's what someone put on it and one is so dry rotted it wont hold air. Hopefully I find a cheap used tire.

                Yes, you will need the code any time power to the radio is interrupted. If I remember correctly, there are two power wires, one is switched by the ignition, the other has power all the time to maintain station memory settings. This second one is on the 7.5 amp fuse that you pull in the under hood box to reset the ECM.

                  Ok awesome! Thanks again! Still have yet to remove it.

                    I changed the rear bumper cover, impact bar, driver side tail lights and driver side filler panel. The accident that happened about a year and a half ago somehow didn't damage the chassis. It now looks as if it never happened.

                    This car always had a stumble on acceleration for a very narrow portion of the lower rpm range from like 1500-1600rpm. It would stumble slightly. When I bought the car in 2018 it had a CEL for the EGR valve. I know it was driven like that for sometime. I installed a new EGR valve and the CEL went away. Throughout all the maintenance the stumble never changed. I suspected it to be something related to EGR. I attempted to set base Ignition timing and the timing marks jumped all over the place. So I set it the best I could assuming a worn timing belt was causing the timing to jump around. I was correct. I changed the timing components as it so desperately needed. The stumble still persisted. It wasn't until about a week ago that I rechecked the ignition timing. (My bad, I know.) The ignition timing was way retarded. It was probably around 0* BDC. I had to look up about an inch or an inch and a quarter to see the 15* mark. Anyhow, setting the ignition timing properly fixed the stumble completely.

                      I really wish I could find another picture hosting provider. Anyhow,

                      Yesterday I replaced the high side refrigerant line coming from the evaporator. The fitting on the front of the car was super difficult to get disconnected. However I was able to pull -30hg of vacuum pretty quickly and it held spot on for an hour. I installed a new drier with 1/3oz of ester w/uv dye and away it went. I'm going to add more oil since I know it lost some. So an oil injector is on the aquire list.

                      So now it has A/C. It actually had a 30* differential. I think I got it this time.




                      Comment


                        After letting the A/C run a little more I still see a some bubbles in the sight glass. So it's a bit low still. Which also shows true on the temp/ pressure via the gauges. I acquired a little more R12. No leaks though. I love UV dye! So we're good there. It was cold already so with a couple more ounces of R12 it should be really cold.

                        It now has really nice front seats and a driver seat with the factory arm rest. Much more comfortable!

                        I used a heat gun, a very small flat head screw driver and patience to remove the grille emblem from the donor car. I installed it with a form of somewhat soft epoxy into the gold grille. So that's done.

                        The doors, trunk and glove box lock cylinders all match and work great now. Only thing left is to swap the ignition lock cylinder and it will have a full matching set with a factory original master key.

                        I fixed the trunk cable so now it opens from inside the car via the handle. The cable simply came out of the latch assembly. So I squeezed the bracket that holds the cable in place ever so slightly with vise grips. This was a nice improvement.

                        The previous owner really messed up the antenna assembly. I didn't know about this. So I'm going to remove the whole assembly and install a factory OEM delete plug into the antenna hole location and install an amplified compact antenna inside the vehicle likely under the rear deck.

                        I purchased some led bulbs from super bright LEDs. I ordered just the lights that are above the cluster that light up the needles. I'm not big on LEDs in the cluster however I replaced them not long ago and they already failed. I used Eiko or Sylvania or something that I thought was of reasonable quality. I didn't want to have to do it again. So that's why I went with LEDs this time.

                        Rear seat with sides, headliner, antenna ordeal, ingition lock assembly, installation of fog lights, another drain and fill with DW-1 on the trans (been about 18 months since I did the 3x or 4x drain and fill) and an inspection of the TCU are next. I have a "kit" of high quality replacement TCU components that I've had for a while incase I find anything.

                          I might have enough parts to put together a working power antenna it you're interested.

                            I really appreciate the offer! Unfortunately they covered up some sheet metal damage with a rubber washer under the antenna along with severely damaging the threads and leaving the drain tube unplugged.

                            The delete plug is a way of eliminating everything cheaply, stopping the damage and not really dealing with it.

                              Last bit of progress on this for the immediate future. It's going to be a couple weeks until I get back on this.

                              So I noticed some squealing when in motion and turning. Primarily when turning to the right at low speeds. The squealing is coming from the driver side front wheel area and is a light rotational contact type squeal with a light resonance. Giving the strong impression that it's a thin piece of metal coming in contact with something rotational.

                              So, in a nut shell I jacked the car up and discovered the wheel bearing has play in it. I can put a finger on one of the 10mm 12 point bolts on the back side and move the wheel and tire around and easily tell that the 10mm 12pt bolt is staying stationary while the rest of the bearing has slop. I'm looking at a replacement hub and bearing assembly already assembled. Like a WJB for about $50.

                              Lastly, I got the rear seat in and also changed out the driver side rear seatbelt assembly. It looks so much better! I now have all seats swapped over.

                              I changed out the entire ignition assembly. The car had an aftermarket unit in it with an aftermarket key. But now it has an all OEM ignition assembly that's keyed alike to everything else. I only have two lock cylinders left but will worry about them later in the year. The back seat release and the gas door/ trunk release.

                              I also did a drain and fill on the trans.

                              Getting things done! Hope to be complete by about the 23rd of June so I can focus on moving.

                                I'm able to post pictures again.

                                Here is the 92 Ex of this MRT in it's current state.

                                This next picture was taken a little over a month ago. What we call The Skank is on the left when it had the fogs. Since removed and going into the 92 Ex we call Cheap Bastard.

                                The Skank will get it's own MRT. More on that later.

                                And here's a good one I spoke about back in February I think it was. Whenever I did the timing belt and everything related.

                                I'll leave you with that. I'm about 5 minutes from getting off work and going to hit the garage again here for the next couple hours.
