You shoulda done like my boy w/a K24 em1 and had him personally come and do the engine bay. That way its guaranteed to get done. Then again, it also cost 1400 bucks lol.

 

Finally got in touch with Chase, parts should be here by the 15th..


Haven't seen the car in like a month, gettin back on it this week some time..

Soon enough boys, soon enough..

 

 

apparently alot of people are unhappy with Chase these days. i would have suggested Rywire. he seems to be the man to go to these days.

 

Well the parts are suppose to be gettin shipped out tomorrow & I'm suppose to get a call to confirm..

Wait and see..

 

waitinggg.....

 

 

Parts still aren't here

but I did get in touch with him finally & actually got a tracking number..

"suppose" to be here Wednesday but we'll see..

 

So there was a mix up in Birmingham about some dumb shit with UPS (of course) but the parts are officially on the move so hopefully I can see them early next week..

Finally got ahold of a used 3.0 axle to see if it fits into the 4cyl hub and...It fits like a glove, thank god..

grabbing axles this weekend along with the 5 lug swap, I just ordered traction bars too & I just picked up some UR pullies so slowly but surely it's all comming together..

the anticipation is killing me..

 

 

From where? Can I have more info on these traction bars please? The ones I came across for the accords don't fit the 3.0 CL's subframe.

Refer to this thread if you have questions as to where i got my details from:

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...t=traction+bar

 

i was looking at the prelude ones that kumar (starboy2nv) got, but i don't think they fit the 3.0 either cuz of the front engine mount

 

Bump. More info on the traction bar please. I'm really interested in buying one if it indeed fits.

John from ESP. He made mine. Every single bar is custom made. Im sure you can make oneto fit the chasis.

 

i need that guy to get back to me and see if his strut bar for an CB will work for us. i love the design, its a real chassis stiffening part. not like all the other strut bars out there.

 

ffc makes a nice front upper strut bar...

Arber: esp = waste of money.

 

yeah those are alot of money. but they make good products so it could be worth it in the end. my friend had tons of trouble with his ebay traction bars on his CRX.

 

what are the issues he is having? according to that thread on honda society, no one is having issues and they are identical down to the welds. but the maker of the esp bars are downtalking the ebay ones. from the way my bar looks like, it looks like a quality job for a ebay knock off.. IMO of course...

Chris (both of you) measure the distance of the chassis and let me know. worst case you can buy the same prelude bar and make your own holes for the bolts... just a thought...

 

I beg to differ bro, from what i've seen of their products 1st hand, they're top notch products and hold up pretty well to abuse.

 

kumar i forgot what problems he was having. it was like last year.

 

I ordered the prelude one, I shouldn't have any problems since I have the 4cyl chassis + the hasport EK mounts which doesn't use a front mount so it's perfect for me..

Traction bar has arrived in niagra & the Chasebays goodies are arriving 2morrow..

 

noice!

 

Chasebays fuel + clutch line..



Traction bar..



Mmmm..




More to come..

 

Sick motor swap. I don't know why I haven't clicked on this thread before.

Now someone needs to do a 3.5 liter 6 speed.

 

That would be cocoa lol

 

Hello, you must be new to the forums. I'm Chris, nice to meet you. :P

 

 

lulz, my bad. Knew you had a CL6 motor or something. Seems like I haven't seen a post out of you in years.

 

lololol Cocoa is OG with the crazy CL engine endeavors


this is MONSTER. damn I love this thread. Can't wait til this thing is finished

 

 

Where did u get that traction bar from again? Doesn't look too bad. Glad you're taking the next step!

What are you going to do about the hood? Bump in the hood like a DSM... except BIG?

 

You should get a cowl hood for the motor that size
