Meh I got a nice neigborhood to drive around, but I don't drink beer unless it's 30-40 a case minimum so I drink lots of whiskey

 

Before we spliced any wires in my car, Chris asked 'Jack' first what he thought..haha.

 

Just chilled with jack tonight, god I love vacation

 

I just took out all the remaining components of my AC system... I was wondering what you did with all the wiring from the AC system, relays and sensors and all that bullshit... I just ziptied it out of the way for now until I can figure out what to do with it...

 

If you trace them back, they should be connected to some kind of wire harness i would guess, do u know where they come out of? Do they go into the dash climate control unit?

 

why'd you do that?

 

cuz it looks awesome.

i just tucked the leftover harness' into the space where my windshield washer resvoir used to be.

 

well back in the day when the previous owner had the car he blew the f22b1 and he got a hillbilly shop to swap in an f23a1... the hillbillies didn't bother to swap the AC parts from the f22 to the f23. Instead they decided to cut the lines I just took out the rest of the crap like the condenser and the reservoir and some leftover lines...

ghost, did you take out the relays for the compressor and the fan or did you tuck them in the space that you had?

I was also thinking that I would rewire the AC fan to the other fan so that the two would come on at the same time... I don't know if I would gain something from this. Does anyone have some input on that?

Blackack, I tried to trace the wires a little bit but they are all wraped together with the headlight harness and it would be a pain in the ass to take them out so I'll probably remove the relays and tuck them away permanently... I also thought about cutting the wires where they meet the harness and just wrapping it there...

 

yea all thats gone. i even took out the fan on the driver side.

 

damn all this wire tuck shit is hard work. I'd just have straight done it when i pulled the motor Matt

 

ghost, did you take out the evaporator inside the car? I wonder if the ventilation system would still work if the evaporator was taken out :S

 

nah thats still there. the car still blows air. like when i put the climate control to 60 it just blows the temperature of the outside air. heat and everything still works.

if i was out in cali i woulda pulled my heater core out and everything.

 

ghost will you be the first 1st gen to successfully complete a wire tuck?

 

nah cuz im never pulling this engine out again to have the actual harness' the run off the ECU tucked. if i could have done it all over again i woulda sent the harness out to this company "Chase Bays" and they could have made my harness cleaner and more organized.

ill be the close tho. arber is getting kinda close to but hes bein a puss and keeping P/S and A/C lol

BTW chris do you have your stock exhaust i can buy off you. im tired of this GReddy exhaust i have. i wanna sell it and pick up somethin else.

 

What do you have? The Greddy SP2 still? I'd be interested in swapping exhausts with you if the piping diameter is what i'm looking for on yours. I still have my completely stock catback. But I'd probably want my resonator though lol unless yours has one already.

 

what other exhaust would you be looking to get if you are going back to stock for now?

 

Wow drank a lot of whiskey tonight

 

it has a resonator. GReddy pipping is 2.36. weird right??


im stuck between the Invidia N1 or Espelir JGT-500. i wish the Buddy Club Pro-Spec was made for the 94-97 Accord cuz my buddy has that on his prelude and its probaly the sweetest sounding exhaust ive heard. maybe i could modify the 98-02 Accord Buddy club exhaust to fit.

 

^^^ I thought those exhausts were for Subarus?

 

wow that is a weird diameter lol. not even 2.5? better off than stock for now i guess. Do you want the whole exhaust or just the piping? PM me or text me with the details, it would be good to get it done this week while my car is still in the shop

 

wire tuck AYE

lol

 

nope honders too.

i want the entire exhaust chris. even if you dont wanna trade ill buy it off you.

 

PM me or text me (i prefer text) cuz i was gonna text you but i lost your # when i switched phones and my old one is obliterated so i cant get it from that. I'm pretty broke after having to do all the maintenance i did to the car recently, but we might be able to work something out i hope. My stock exhaust is still on the car so i'd need to switch with yours cuz obviously i need an exhaust lol.

 

bump for updated pics of wire tuck

 

And a picture of a new filter......HAHAHA

 

Lets get it looking closer to mine! haha. Probably looks better actually.

 

and 10x better then mine

 

wow i didnt realize anyone bumped this.

plans for the bay this summer include.

Non-ABS conversion
battery relocated to the trunk
steering rack re-looped
S2000 clutch master cylinder

simple green the shit out of the bay. and thats about all i can think of as of now.

but as far as performance goes

Hytech replica header
S2000 throttle body
clutch/flywheel
replace the headgasket
new coolant hoses.

 

#1, what does S2K clutch master cylinder do? Make it tighter? And how are you gonna reloop your steering rack and will it help with the lack of power steering pump? Since we both lack power steering , i'd like to know lol.

 

s2000 CMC has the resvoir on top of the cylinder itself. so therefore theres no resvoir that has to be mounted on the shock tower. it just a clean subtle touch.

and re-looping the steering rack does help and has to be done because if you lose alot of the fluid thats stored inside the rack it will seize up. ive had mine not looped for well over a year and when i make left turns in makes a metal on metal type noise.

 

thats not cool. you should def loop it matt. wish there was a diff approach then deleting abs brakes. kinda sucks.

 

my parents and grandparents are still hear without ABS and seat belts nontheless. ill be fine. 94-97 Accord DX's and LX's come with out ABS. i see no difference.

 

when you brake hard in wet pavement shouldn't you abs kick in?

 

why don't ya want abs??

 

Let me know how to reloop then, cuz mine needs to be done too

 

when it works, not locking the wheels is a great thing

 

I dont like abs. especially when i auto-x. the vibration in the pedal and wheel throws me off. maybe i should pull the fuse next time

 

so i finally got a new header and it was only because a rough NJ winter destroyed my DC.

torching the old one off. my engine bay is flithy, im aware.




what it looked like before i turned on the car on.


a few days later. this is why i hate non-ceramic coated headers.


then had a 2.5" custom straight pipe welded onto the exhaust.

 

oh and by the way. my car is on a few 2x4's so the header and exhaust are alot lower in case anyone was wondering....

 

you wouldn't want to wrap 'em up? leaving aside the pros/cons of wrapping, sometimes a nice tight wrap/silicone spray can look cleaner than the typical/unavoidable discoloration that occurs.

short list sounds good though, can't wait to see the pics once all installed and cleaned up.
