getting ready to paint





you can see i got the acura vigor wing cut n molded to the rear bumper
also shaved the antenna and windshield washer nozzles





car was down for a week due to leaking valve cover seals
decided to make a traction bar powder coat the valve cover and port and poling the intake manifold add a 70mm throttle body and 450cc injector trailer the car to get street tuned







i got a pretty bad motor from the jdm supply with sludge build up and leaking valve seaks, i also sucked up some water and bent a valve so i decided to rebuild























curently working on finishing the engine bay and waiting on the motor to get back from the machine shop!

Yeesh, who thought Dookie Brown was a good idea? Nice save. Got any more shots of the finished rear lip spoiler? I do love molded lips!

yea it was the worst color ever. yea the car was saved 3 times
1 now rear quarter panels been replaced why idk.
2 the previous owner got it from a junkyard put a motor in it and his son blew it up.
3 I saved it from going the scrap yard no one wanted it because of the dookie brown paint & blown motor. I saw a diamond in the ruff

this is the only picture I have at the moment can get more if you want later

rewiring the hole car !

decided to rewire the whole car.

made the fuse panel, mounting it behind the drivers seat

the battery is behind passager to help distribute weight.

made a radio delete plate, thats where all the switches are going

the hour gauge, afr gauge, and oil pressure gauge are going where the a/c panel was


here are some update





if anyone has any wire diagrams for the door switch, hazards, or the cluster that would help a ton!

Get a 90-93 Accord Haynes manual. It’ll have all the diagrams you’ll need. It’s a must have for everyone who owns a CB.

harness bar

got all the wiring finished all finished.

making a harness bar out of some spare 1" dom tubing
thinking about tieing it in at the rear pillars from the center of the hoop
like make a rear strut tower bar and have it attach to the same mounting points

or should I just tie it in where the rear seat belt latch was

[Straight Success]

Damn.

Nice work. Subscribed.

Nice car. That B pillar bar isn't doing much when you have a C pillar bar installed. Take it out, install a rear upper strut bar on the shocks and you'll be good. If you really want to secure the rear you can get a trunk / rear support bar. ESP makes them.

Good luck on the wiring too, you'll need a manual. That's a big job right there and hundreds of dollars if you are replacing all OEM wiring with new. Is that what you are doing?

[jamin_jacob]

I couldn't see the point in spending money on esp or innovations products when I can make them for a fraction of the price. im a fabricator by trade and do this stuff for a living. I've sold quite a few tractions bars, solid torque mounts, lmk if you see something you want I can make another.


you can never be too safe or to stiff so adding the extra support does not matter to me. plus I like the jungle gym look its unique in an accord

its the cheap aluminum strut bars that don't do anything they have a problem with twisting... they look cool tho


I've got the whole car wired thanks to this forum so no need for a manual I used as much as the oem wiring as I could, followed everything back n cut it as far back as i could to try to get every wire behind the driver seat yes i had to extend a lot but i was also able to combine a lot to. worked at one thing at a time and my best friend was the labeler machine. my check engine light is now battery light. i was able to do a few cool things like this


got the harness bar welding up trimmed the sides down
now to add the lower support bars grind the mounts down so there not so boxy looking then paint

[jamin_jacob]

made a buddy a traction bar for his cb7 in trade for a carbon fiber hood

yes the traction bar is upside down atm

this thing came out nice

ill post pic of the hood when it gets home

[jamin_jacob]

thank too one member one here for the inspiration to do a sheet metal firewall...got plains to finish the car before the end of the year getting the motor back from the machine shop this week so the ants in my pants have been lit












just have to finish the passenger side and it will be time to start sanding again... until the fingers hurt I guess ...

[jamin_jacob]

got the rear strut tower bar made

(there's will be a radius rod in place of the string for support 1 on each side to keep the harness support bar from bending in case of impact. )

[jamin_jacob]

got the harness bar/ rear strut brace done time to clean it up and paint it





an update picture of the engine bay

started block sanding

got the wire loom hole cut. I followed the shifter cables since they're pretty well hidden in the engine bay.




here a throwback picture off hush performance instagram of my car last year

[kouzie]

Me: ooooh it's a rusty color
Scrolled down farther
Me: oops! sweet orange!

Like someone else said, get the Haynes manual. It has fantastic wiring diagrams. They're SO easy to follow.
