Project X: RWD Accord build

[cvandulken]

Most of you if not all of you probably dont know or care who i am.
I am a car enthusiast, mainly hondas, so i thought i'd share my project here with you guys as well, i know i'm going to need help from this site as well... and maybe i can contribute down the road as well.

to start off this was the only place on the forum i could post... i tried to go down and put it in non related cb7 cars but it wouldnt let me..

the car is a 1988 accord dx hatch...not a cb7 but does run cb7 engine chassis and suspension. so it will have some relation. kinda like i married the 2 together haa.

suggestions more than welcome as i know i'm going to run into a snag somewhere down the road.

i've started a thread on 3geez here, from start to almost finish. i have been with them somewhat longer than any other forum.

if someone could give me permission to post in the non related car forum or whatever... then you can move this there.

this is also waaaay cheaper. and since i have the time and the parts.. why not.

Sounds interesting What motor are you going with? Welcome by the way

i have my choice between a f22a6 unknown condition all i know is it has 480xxx k's

and a h22 which i think ran just fine before they took it in to get the timing belt changed and has never ran properly since. they swapped it out because they thought it was going but allot of money to fix and they got a sweet deal on a h22a jdm motor and trans anyway. i did the work for them in 2 days and they gave me the old engine/trans.

when i got it back to my house i pulled the timing belt cover and learned that non of the springs were put back and that the balancer shafts belt was way overtightened and not set @ tdc.. not sure if the timing belt was over tightened... my first h22

there are a bunch of pics on in the build thread on 3g's if you want to see what i'm working with pretty much.

cool How exactly are you going to make it rwd turning the motor? Or are you putting it in the rear?

[Grumpys93]

Oh and that pin in the crank is suppose to be there it holds the stock flywheel as well
