    SOHC-FTW : 1992 Accord DX

    Welp i aquired my second accord on the 22nd of october from a member on here (ingold).It had a few qurks that needed to be adressed.In doing so im building her the way i want and could careless what others thought/think (but if you view the thread and have an opinion please... state it).It has 276k on the OD which was owned by a younger guy and the factory engine is no longer in her bay.

    Update 7-26-11=I built the b1 it ran good even untuned(did have its cut out moments) oil pump failed driven to town an fried the block sold the set up.So time to start over with another f series.

    Big bertha

    Engine:
    F22b1 block decked .005 with fresh hone, windage tray,New oil control orifice.
    Shot peened rods/ARP rod bolts.
    New OEM rod&main bearings, king thrust (Rods=.0015-.0017 Main's= .0003-.0005 tighter).
    New Coated domes Nippon piston set (piston's,ring's,wrist, P2W clearances .005).
    F22A1 head milled .035 Ported and slightly polished.
    Few fresh exhaust valves (2EX) (1IN) & supertech valve seals.
    A6 valve springs.
    A6 Intake manifold port/coned inlet/TB and IAB's.
    Fresh gaskets, water pump, Honda timing belt, rebuilt oil pump.
    New ICM.
    P12 ECU.
    Intake with AEM dry flow filter,Exhaust with one res and megan chambered muffler.
    So basically 9.5.1 compression F22 with upgraded/stronger bottom end, port work and fresh rebuild.

    The goal behind this build is to make good power while utlizing OEM parts that have been slightly moddified.
    Later i will be spraying a 75 shot probably wet.


    Exterior:
    Un tint tails and corners-Done(Just a hint if you do spray tint your lights make sure you will never want it to come back off lots of time thinner and fine steal wool in 6 degree weather really sux!).
    install side moldings.
    Blacked out grill.
    Sticker bombed passenger side fender.
    Total tare down and redo body qork as of 10/4/12 is 95% done.

    Suspension:
    Eibach pro kit springs,GR-2 shocks (Will be upgrading the fronts to Koni STR T's).

    Future plans:
    Prime,paint, and to put it back together.
    Mild regrind.
    Header.
    Spray.
    Tune.

    Few pics of when i first got it:


    Pure nasty ass engine bay!


    Since ive owned her:
    Cleaner bay

    Re painted grile

    bumper lights wired up to running lights(Was done when i got it but half assed now works right)

      Exterior/interior/suspension

      Exterior:
      This is where you will see fourm not function updates expect for suspension.

      Tinted to un tinted-So i decieded i didnt really wont to be harassed by cops and wanted a oem/cleaner look.So when i got the car the corners and tails was blacked the fuck out this could cause unwanted attention from cops and someone to crash into "Big Bertha" so i did away with it.All though it looked ok i like it un tinted better.Also did the corners aswell will have to upload a better pic sometime(uploaded).Also on the tails i left the reverse lights smoked a tad.What i used was some paint thinner(Took about 2pints did not harm the plastics at all)Fine steal wool so it took it off well but didnt scratch it, and a normal rag to take the last smokey layer off to prevent any scratches(Last step takes a hot min lots of scrubing for sure).In this weather(6 degrees to 30 degrees) the thinner evaporated quite quickly corners and tails together probably took 3hours all together.So if you and your buddys get together and say hey man lets Spray tint somthing!DO NOt let it be on your car although it looks decent its a pain in the ass to take off!

      Before:
      Tails-
      Corners-

      After:
      Tails-

      Corners-



      Tag:
      So my car didnt even have the tag frame on it and i decieded the un paint part where it goes had to go.So i put the oem frame on which luckly came with the car think god.Painted me a tag and put the bisi tag frame on.

      Before:

      After:



      Suspension:

                          Nice work! You did quite the restoration. Whats the B1 like?

                          Also, why not just source new tails from the JY. You could have picked up a pain for $50, and sold those for atleast $20.

                          Nice shit though!
