    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    I don't have a specific number because I bought a lot more than just parts for the motor. My tally came up to around $9.3k over about 6 months, but that's including the Legend brake setup, new coilovers, spare transmission, etc. It's probably closer to $4-5k for only the components for the...

    RSX front seats in coupe

    This applies to '00 EX models as well, any model with side airbags. There's a work-around to this if you do a little digging in the factory service manual. I have S2000 seats in my '01 EX coupe with no SRS issues.

    Project: A Quiet Accord (AFAccord's DIY Acoustic Treatment)

    Exactly, my old chassis had issues, so it wasn't really worth the effort, but this new chassis barely has 100k miles on it and I want it to feel like a brand new car. The one thing I can't really get rid of is the engine vibrations. Holy cow, 350sq feet?? In most panels, the constraint...

    Project: A Quiet Accord (AFAccord's DIY Acoustic Treatment)

    While I'm excited to get my new chassis up and running again, I find my attempts to quiet down the car and improve my listening experience snowballing out of control. If you've followed any of my other build threads, you know this is par for the course. Here is my story... As I began...

    The Legend GS brake swap information thread

    I'm pretty sure those will not work. I would look up both models on Rockauto.com and compare the dimensions.

    The Legend GS brake swap information thread

    I'm selling the Prelude rotors from my setup. Centric high-carbon rotors with about 3,000 miles on them. Already sold the calipers.

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    I'm almost certain those weren't available when I ordered the Crowers. I do remember Bisimoto offering a custom F23 rod/piston combo for about $860 just a week or so after I spent $1200 on the Crower/Wiseco setup.

    Whats your MPG on a full tank?

    I'm happy to report that I achieved 26.8mpg on a tank recently, and that's with some dyno pulls so there's still room for improvement! Sadly, that only brings up my average for the year to 15.0mpg. :shakehead:

    1/4 mile times

    ****ty 60-foots all day, couldn't hook up. Trap speed is good for low 12's if I can get off the line faster.

    prevent energy loss and wheel hop

    Re: How to reduce wheel hop You almost did, without actually saying it. It's highlighted in the diagram you posted, and then you went into bushings. :)

    prevent energy loss and wheel hop

    Re: How to reduce wheel hop Reducing slack in suspension components is far more effective at reducing wheel hop than engine mounts. It's the load/unload cycle with soft components that creates wheel hop, hence the reason traction bars with solid (no rubber) joints are so effective. The most...

    How to inexpensively improve F23A1?

    H-series heads have larger combustion chambers which will reduce compression unless you use higher compression pistons or mill the head a LOT. An 8.xx:1 compression G23 isn't going to do much of anything better than a 9.3:1 F23 unless you boost it.

    Re: ESP.net 98-02 Accord Traction Bar System with Front Torque Mount Kit F/H 4 cyl Mo There are no gains to be had, only less wheel hop. My car feels less skittish at high speeds, and more predictable around fast turns with the stock subframe in place. Unless you're only racing in a straight...

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    I just recently switched from Sportline springs to GC Coilover sleeves. I only opted for a slightly firmer spring rate than their default offering, (9k/7k) since I didn't want to sacrifice ride quality too much. The steering response is much quicker now with the GC sleeves, but I find that...

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    Well, I haven't had an alignment yet because I haven't lowered the car to where I want it, and I can't lower it until I pass inspection. The best observation I can give you is that it immediately reduced torque steer and improved stability when doing power pulls in 3rd and 4th gear, but...

    Re: ESP.net 98-02 Accord Traction Bar System with Front Torque Mount Kit F/H 4 cyl Mo Mine took two months to the day from payment until delivery. Not exactly quick production, but then John has stated several times that delivery would take 8-12 weeks.

    Re: ESP.net 98-02 Accord Traction Bar System with Front Torque Mount Kit F/H 4 cyl Mo Basically it pinches off the opening between the lower radiator support and the bar which was wide open with the stock brace. I'll try to get some photos tomorrow when I visit the shop.

    Re: ESP.net 98-02 Accord Traction Bar System with Front Torque Mount Kit F/H 4 cyl Mo Unfortunately I wasn't able to install it. It sits so far forward that it interferes with my charge piping. I've been planning on raising the FMIC anyway which would require some adjusting of the charge...
