Well here is the latest update.....pics are on the way!

KillerRabbit · 03-13-2012, 04:21 PM

Been a long time since i have posted on here and updated this thread. Got engaged, been paying bills off, tool payments and student loans seem endless.

Basically got quite a few changes and modifications to my setup that was posted in the last few pics.

The only big change to happen for a few months before i got back at it.

Euro-R Single Row Crank Pulley and new Honda oem alt belt installed.

After that i cleaned the car up really good and hit up some car shows last summer.

4 months went by, nothing got changed on the car except fluids.

Then got a itch and i decided to go to the track and see what the car could do. First time running the car, had Bridgestone RE11s, didnt air them down or anything. The best time i ran was a 12.0 in the 1000ft. Ran 12.2, 12.27, 12.29, 12.34. Slicks, esp traction bar and a little less weight and i hope i could see 11.0-11.3.

On the way home i started noticing my brakes felt weird...the only thing i could think of was my abs issue...

KillerRabbit · 03-13-2012, 04:35 PM

Continuing on.....

I didnt read about the common abs problems until after i bleed the crap out of the abs pump and all the lines. It didnt work and figured the abs pump/module is out. Abs delete.....i read up that it was a pain in the butt. I couldnt understand why.....kinda still dont.

For those that are curious about the delete, i got all the info to do it for next to nothing. Pm me if your doing it and need help. I removed my intake manifold to get to the junction underneath the master on the frame. My forearms wouldnt allow me to get in and get to the back lines. So remove the intake manifold and your there. i took all the brake lines out then removed the abs pump, its pretty heavy btw. It looks like it doesnt weight anything until you pick it up. remove the spliter or junction and install a integra 40/40 prop valve and run your lines. simple as that.

After i did that i drove around for a month enjoying the car until a buddy called explaining that he was trading his TL for a 98 Prelude Base. I went with him and the guy gave him a bunch of spare parts. i asked my buddy if i could have the spare blades and spare front spindles. I got them for free and started piecing together what i needed for the 5 lug swap.

Began finding several other parts while i waited on the money for the rear hubs, took me about 2 months to save the money since i paid a credit card off.

I know some of you guys would probably say just buy the stuff on your credit card. I really didnt wanna take that route and i feared getting laid off at the time. 18 people got laid off the week before so talk about a little scare. And thats the reason i spent a lot of time working and not being active on here.

At this time i got brand "new" oem tails for $20 at the local pick n pull.

Decided on lowering the car....

Quickly found out the PLM Header hangs low and likes to scrape. So i made a skid plate, lol.

Ordered a stainless steel clutch line and AN fittings....removed the clutch dampner in the process. Slowing getting everything tucked....

KillerRabbit · 03-13-2012, 05:17 PM

Ok this update is from November....

Cleaned up the 5th gen blades. removed all the crappy paint that was on it.

Comparison, against car...

Parts started rolling in, and i decided to do the rear 5 lug swap first. I think i did this a different way....

Powerslot Rear Rotors

Arp Extended Lug Studs

5th Gen Hub bearing Assembly New OEM Honda+ 10 1989 Honda Crx Open end lug nuts.

Sorry about being so scatter brained on the updates, so much to update and i dont know where to start. Enjoy guys. Im currently about to do some more stuff to the car, finish the 5 lug up front and add a few more goodies.

deaflude · 03-13-2012, 07:40 PM

Did the header wrap change from black to white? Great build!

KillerRabbit · 03-14-2012, 08:04 PM

It did, i bought the DEI black wrap an after a month it finally changed to the regular natural looking DEI wrap, oh well. i wanted black but beggars cant be choosers.

KillerRabbit · 03-14-2012, 08:08 PM

car looks freakin nice...

good work.

KillerRabbit · 03-22-2012, 10:48 PM

Well i have been working a lot this week, but here is what i got done when i took some days off.

These wheels came off my fiances prelude, i gave her my full set of fanblades.
Just incase you were wondering, i hate those wheels.

This is whats going on, spindles already have New OEM Honda Hub bearings in and ARP extended studs, the studs i used had the quick tip on them also. Also got Brembo rotors for a 5th gen base model, came with set screws, and i got Checkerd Sports 10mm Spacers.

Wheels with New Dunlop Direzza DZ101 205/50/16 tires.

Old Spindle taken out

New Spindle put on

I remember a lot of people talking about spacers and i tried finding some that would work at Home Depot and i had no luck, i honestly didnt feel like driving to lowes to see if they might have something. I got back to my house and thought about the rear hubs and the shaft on the knuckle. The rear had a washer that was close to the size. Well it was close but had a nub that went in the groove for the back. Dremel and 5 mins later i had both washers ready to go.

Rotors installed

Caliper back on

Spacer on

Wheels on and look at the lugs
