Looks great bro! I think it's really cool how you worked on your car way before you even had your license must have been tantalizing seeing this beauty and not being able to drive it. .

Originally posted by SanJoCaF22DrAcc View PostStick to what you like and not what others think when you build. You end up much happier with your build and could care less when others criticize. If you make well thought out choices, then what others think tend to not matter as much. As for the chrome looking "so OEM", That OEM went out the window with the addition of the projectors if you really think about it. Still none the less it's looking good.
Originally posted by Kevin Chinnn View PostI actually was looking for chrome housed, but I found a black housed set (clean as heck) so I had to cop. The chrome housed looks SO legit on your car though
On the side note, I went to Canada, Washington and Oregon for vacation. I went to 2 junkyards in Canada and oh boy! I got some goodies!
I left with:
-A complete set of OEM window visors with Clips
-2 rear OEM window visors also with clips
-A grey flip up Arm console
-92/93 OEM Fogs with the harness EXCEPT THE BUTTON But the fogs also had JDM shrouds, so those will be going on my car.
-I also got a set of JDM BB4 black house one piece headlights. The prelude that had the headlights also had a twin cam f20B
:boucny: Can't wait to get home.

What is "JDM" about fog light shrouds? If you're talking about the rubber seal lining the cutout in the bumper then every single '92-'93 that had dealer-installed foglights left the dealer with them.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

Here are some pictures of my Canadian Junkyard finds.
All the visors are OEM and they are only missing ONE clip...I might just have to install these puppies on my car.
92-93 OEM Wagon Fogs almost entirely complete! Just missing the button
JDM BB1/BB4 Prelude one piece headlights.
An OEM flip up arm console in Grey, the junkyard actually gave this to me for free!!
And the "JDM" fog shrouds. I also got them when I pulled the fogs off of the wagon, from what I've been told, not all wagons have these shrouds. Also on top of the shrouds is stamped "SM5." These will also be going on my car. They seem way nicer than the OEM USDM ones that I have now, I will get comparison pictures later.
And lastly an booklet ^_^ Also got that for free.

They're shaped that way to accommodate the difference in shape between the standard '92-'93 bumper and the wagon version. It conceals the would-be gap. There was a wagon I nearly purchased that had foglights on it from the factory that had them on there. My coupe also had foglights from the factory and came with the channel strip seals. It won't do you any good to haven these on your foglights and your for sale thread with the foglights in it needs these in order to truly be wagon foglights. Otherwise, they're just your standard '92-'93 lights.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

This is true. I would keep the shrouds together with them. They won't do you any good unless you have a wagon bumper.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

Jarret, your knowledge of these small details is extremely impressive. I highly respect that.
Alex, great score. On top of being rare, them fogs are extremely clean. For kicks see if you can find a wagon bumper to mount them up. If anything it would be interesting to see how them look in their natural habitat.

I wish I could man! But I have no room to store it properly, it's best to have them sit in a box for a "just in case" reason.
On the side note, my car still appears to be having overheating issues. I took it to the mechanic and they flushed the tranny oil too and inspected it and then refilled the tranny with new oil. The shop had told me that I need a new timing belt soon and a new water pump too. I called today and everything installed and included would be $595 plus shipping from them.
I also called Honda about the parts and it was $56 for the belt and $103 for the pump. BUT, I've heard the job is VERY labor intensive, so I wouldn't even attempt to do it myself. I'm still calling around for that too.
The car also veers to the right a bit too, I believe that might be due to a worn bushing or an alignment issue. PROBABLY a bushing, those are all still the 20 year old factory ones.
My front passenger speaker ALSO blew along with the two tweeters in my back speakers, so I ALSO need to replace that. The shop quoted me $400 dollars just to fix that I am pretty sure I can do the speakers myself, it's just a matter of finding some speakers that are of good quality. I was previously using HERTZ speakers.
And also one of my axle boots is ripped so I would have to change that soon too :/
Seems like a HELLAVA lot of work to do and it seems very expensive, but it must be done. I am just still putting in numbers and I am wondering if it would just be better to get a whole different motor (H22A or F20B). BUT the issue with that would be California smog.
