Update: Figured I would try just putting in the battery from the accord, fired right up first try. sounds awesome and pulls real hard. only took a short drive due to low coolant and when i got out after driving it, oil sprayed around the engine bay. gonna need to get that fixed :lawl:. videos...
Im gonna take some pictures either during lunch or around 5 today. I havent tried turning anything yet. Im gonna try popping the clutch today to make sure its not seized up.
yeah dude i cant wait to actually enjoy the car.
update: got the new fan clutch, fan blade, and radiator in today. biggest problem was when i was holding the tension pulley, the socket slipped off and i whacked myself in the face with the pulley. felt a bit dizzy but yet i drove on :lawl...
its gonna be a real slow process. and LOL to the wording, didnt mean it like that at all haha.
went to advance auto and got myself an 11mm open and closed ended wrench and a new fan blade. gotta go back after work to get the clutch, they didnt have any in stock so im gonna go to autozone for...
Found an ad on cl for new door panels, window motor/switches, headliner and seats. I cant afford all that right now though. Mechanical, cosmetic, suspension, brakes, power. Probably that order over the next several years
got the radiator out no problem, but i dont have any 11mm wrenches to break the fan/clutch bolts loose. after several busted knuckles while trying to use pliers, i'll probably go buy one (11mm wrench) tomorrow. didn't put the new radiator in yet since i havent decided if i want to go with an...
yeah. i just picked up a radiator from a shop that does cooling and such for $80. im gonna attempt to at least get the old one out along with the fan and fan clutch. hopefully i just need to replace the fan.
Thanks guys, its kinda neat finally having a project car that can be awesome one day...
Updates at bottom of OP
As some of you know, I don't really give a **** about my accord. This mustang was a good friend of mines **** around car, but after the radiator fan blades snapped it just sat at his apartment for around a year and a half. We're in the military and he's leaving for...
i tried weed eater line but i dont think it was stiff enough. after a heavy rain i can get more than half an inch of water in my rear passenger carpet area. driver side and passenger side foot wells are forever wet in my car
took some weed eater line and shoved it down my moonroof drain holes. idk if anything came out/dislodged, but i couldnt shove any more in. i'd have stayed out longer but it was pouring :lawl:
took all but one of the stickers out of my interior. no more 6ga.com on my rearview, and off my pillars. except i left the "dont be a ****" sticker there. good words
since i replaced my header my car has been burning oil as well. i replaced the cat with a test pipe so i expect it to stink. its not the highest quality piece, but im wondering why im suddenly burning so much oil (however, i checked my dipstick and its still golden and within where its supposed...
i got 25 miles a gallon from my last fill up, but now im at 160 miles and a little less than half a tank left. i didnt have an o2 sensor for the 25 mpg, but now i have one and its gone down a lot :lawl:
filled up for $51 for almost 15 gallons. now to the interesting part, had to pry my gas cap cover open because the trunk/gas cap switch doesnt work anymore. also, still managed 24.5 miles a gallon with semi spirited driving and no o2 sensors.
burns a decent amount of oil though, lots of blue...
i just replaced the exhaust manifold with a 4-2-1 header/flex pipe, and cat with a test pipe. i got an oil drain plug to put in the hole in the flex pipe, its so much quieter and doesnt smell now.
also did this, because why not :lawl:
and got a georgia tag :sad:
right you are Chris
and ive done all of the maintenance needed. the smoke should stop once i put the sensors in because one of the "plugs" for the hole where the sensor goes on my flex pipe (no idea why there are 3 holes for o2 sensors) is missing and is pointing up. whenever i feel like...
yeah, but the smell will be at the back of the car, and it will run better. and hopefully stop shaking. and smoke will hopefully stop coming into the cabin
this was last week or maybe 2 weeks ago, but i finally got my ebay header and ebay test pipe in. now just waiting on new o2 sensors to be shipped so it stops smelling like **** everywhere i drive
