ahahah that was the laugh of the morning.. good one
i hope mike has no trouble getting it started

[cp[mike]]

omg my heart is pounding...

WHOOA yeah...

hooked the battery up, got scared to death to turn the key (remember this is an ebay engine so i had no idea if it were good or not).... turned the key for the FIRST TIME IN A WEEK... it cranked for 5 or 6 seconds, and it took... THE CAR STARTED...

you have no idea how happily excited i am.

CEL turned on, got the codes... 21 and 41... so my vtec sol might not be wired correctly, and 41= o2 sensor, which is part of the downpipe, which isnt connected, so thats a given... so it all went together perfectly!!!!!!!!

[WiKKeDV16]

WOOOOOTTT BUYAA BABY..
it may not be wired right.. ot the selnoid might just be bad.. hey it happens.. see if its the wiring if not ull have to replace it.. AS PROMISED!

thanks... and YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

so heres the current list of stuff to finish:

1. put the bumper and headlights back on (both have been updated.. will post in members rides)

2. fill the clutch cyl and lines

3. drive it to some place to get a 2.5" flange welded to my cat so it will mate up to the new downpipe (not getting an exhaust yet)

4. bring it to get a lower ball joint replaced- *EDIT* wikkedv16 gave me a suggestion to get my current one to work... gona try it... might not need the joint replaced!

5. DRIVE IT TO HONDA DAY AND HAVE A GOOD FREAKING TIME

the flange on the cat is smaller than the flange on the end of the downpipe, the 3 bolt holes dont line up.... i was gonna C-clamp them together for the ride to the shop. whats ur suggestion?

dude I've never seen this before? What do you mean they don't line up? The Prelude down pipe and Accord downpipe are Identical designs (flanges). They both have the House looking flange on the cat side and on the cat to the rest of the exhaust there is the triangle. Is your cat stock?

i dont know jack about swaps but i remember when i bought an exaust for my accord they had 2 kinds, japan and us spec. the differnce was a tilt in the flanges that bolt up..i need a japan made one...
