well i cant blame Ghost for this because it wasnt her fault it was mine. I am in the process of buying an F23A1 motor and trans for $200 and if all went to plan i woulda been had that by now. so my only good friend thats home and didnt go away to college truck's rear end blew up, so its been in the shop for a while now. my plan was to temporarily swap starters from the F23 until my F22, but obviously i cant without the F23. so ive been punishing whats left of my starter. most of the time i have to pop start the car to save the life of it just a little bit longer until i pick up the motor. but this morning the starter is completely dead. the starter pulley is just spinning but no cranking whatsoever. it just sounds like a fan. so today i ordered a new starter and im getting it for like $75 through my job. so until i can install the new starter on sunday im driving my parents 03 Accord EX-L. i looked at my chiltons manual and everything looks pretty straightforward. for any of you guys who have replaced your starter did you run into any problems.

 

so you're swapping the f23 in at the same time?

 

None. It took me longer to go to the store and buy it. Its 2 bolts (14mm i believe). Hold it while you are taking out the last bolt though, cuz it may fall out. It should take you roughly 10 min to change.

 

there should be a 14 mm on top and a 17mm on the bottom

 

i replaced my starter wit a refurbished one and it works great!

y dont u just drop a H22 in that sucker and call it a day?

 

pshh.. what a boring story..









lol jk
so what you gonna do to that 2.3? boost?

 

You don't need a starter anyway, just roll start that bitch.

My neighbor was roll starting her audi(POS), and crashed right into our bushes sideways down the hill

 

 

No shit dude, right down the hillside, right into the shrubs. Car was stuck there for like 2 hours with the headlights shining into the bushes, right out my front window

 

so what did you get a new motor for? and how can i get 1 for that cheap?

 

please disregard my stupidity. i was not thinking at all with that one

 

im buying H22 EuroR's stock motor. he only has 80K on it. it has a megan racing header and a clutchmaster clutch. as of now im not sure what i want to do with it. maybe all-motor or nitrous or both.

 

did u work from the bottom of the car. it looks like theres to much shit in the way if i work from the top.

 

I know the 3.0 you gotta take the battery and shit out of the way to get to it

 

i'd love to see someone try to get it out from the bottom

 

didnt the euro R accords use the b20?

 

No kidding.... No, you dont work on it from underneath. Its basically right ontop of your tranny. If you are looking at the engine, it is right on the left hand side of the engine. If my crappy photobucket would work, i would show you where to look....

 

And this has to do with???????

 

this.

 

OK.... Didnt see that

 

its not from an accord euro r, the dudes sn that he is buying it from is h22 euroR.

 

I feel dumb...

 

Always comical over here

 

it's from a CL owner

 

well the bottom bolt, i believe its a 14mm, looks tuff to get to from the top.

 

Its reallt not... Extension if you must

 

maybe you should have percy help you ghost man

 

now thats a story.

 

nah i did it this afternoon, took me like 30mins. then brought my old starter back to the place where i bought my new one and got like 10 bucks for it.
