    Is the Euro R steering rack a quicker ratio?

    The Acura CL/TL has a faster rack, that does work on our cars. I am not sure if we need to use the rear subframe from the CL/TL that the steering rack bolts onto. But it's definitely a lower ratio. CL/TL uses the same lower control arms and steering knuckles as all 6g Accords (I4 and V6).

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Looks like the front sub frame is similar enough to the automatic version. The one from the manual trans is a bit rusted in the junkyard. There's only 1 hole that holds some mount for the transmission. Easier for me to just grind off the paint and weld a small plate onto the subframe (if I even...

    F23 to J30-32 swap help

    So who has actually done this. Or is everyone just going to whine and complain about it being too hard, then give up.

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Thanks. I can go back for the dash / center console if needed. I'm planning on replacing my interior at some point in the near future due to it being old/dirty/worn. Not sure if there's any advantage in using the CL dash (or how the door panels fit against it) or if it's just a...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Okay, so I think I figured out how to link images from my google photos. Here's what I got. Friday afternoon, rolling the TL wheels across the junkyard. What I scored Friday night. Dish soap bubble bath for the calipers. Saturday Morning. Pulling the J32A2 engine + 6MT trans And...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Reverse searching the Honda Parts Catalog looks like I've found two unique parts that I'll need. * Subframe * Steering rack

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    A modified 2003 CL Type S 6MT arrived at my local junkyard this past Friday the 13th. Friday afternoon I snagged the '06 TL wheels, as well as the 4pot Rotora calipers. The next morning I grabbed the J32A2 engine, manual transmission, wiring harness, shifter cables, shiftbox, ECU, mounts...

    Is the Euro R steering rack a quicker ratio?

    Have you personally confirmed that the Euro R doesn't use a unique steering rack ratio?

    Bense's H23A Swap HowTo & Discussion Thread.

    I've been planning and scheduling to take the Accord 'offline' so that I can address some outstanding issues. The entire engine/trans has been running strong for over over 2 years now. (I'd have to go back and check the mileage of the old cluster before I swapped it out). Issues to address: *...

    Caliper Brackets

    Great thread. So who's gonna get a batch of these brackets made and sell them for cheap? Have we reverse engineered the seal kit that fatfourcustoms sells? I'm not spending $120 for 4 o-rings and 8 bolts. I'm sure many of us here are more than capable of removing a bolt, measuring the...

    Is the Euro R steering rack a quicker ratio?

    If he wants to upgrade his steering, let him upgrade his steering. No sense in having a subjective opinion over an objective question. It sounds to me like you're just mad/jealous that you didn't think of this idea first, or that you simply don't know. OP: The Accord type R (CH1) which is...

    Brake Master Cylinder upgrade options?

    I've got a 2001 EX 4cyl that I've put v6 front brakes on with '96 prelude vtec rotors. I am about to pull the engine and am making a list of parts that I want to change out/replace on this 320k mile Accord that i'm about to be using for a long commute to/from work. Does anyone know if...

    The original socketed ECU that I had was from my Civic, which had been parked for just over 4 years after I got in an accident and did some front end damage to the vehicle. It was in a very moist/damp area on the edge of my father's property, and the PCB of the ECU I was using was covered in...

    Prelude Manual Trans Upgrade

    I wonder if the p2a8 trans (6g Accord f23a1) is more similar to the older DOHC trans. I've got the trans that originally came with my '01 Accord ex sedan. Rosko mailed me a mystery box of gears two years ago and I swapped out my final with a 4.266, and used a 1.32 h23a1 third, 1.034 fourth...

    Bense's H23A Swap HowTo & Discussion Thread.

    A few weeks ago I upgraded my brakes with calipers from a 6th gen v6 accord, along with 4th gen Prelude VTEC rotors. I also replaced all 4 of my motor mounts, as well as replaced my serpentine belt with one that bypasses my A/C compressor (which I've subsequently removed) as one of the A/C lines...

    Clutch / Pressure Plate / Flywheel Suggestion for 2016

    I used to run a setup like this and I remember how much I enjoyed it. A lot of what I'm doing is mostly for nostalgic reasons. I plan on boosting my setup at some point :) Yeah but isn't that $$$$ Another friend suggested Action Clutch.

    Clutch / Pressure Plate / Flywheel Suggestion for 2016

    I apologize for creating such a generic thread on a topic that's been covered over and over and over. I've searched and I've read lots of threads. However, most of the posts that I'm reading are several years old. So many of pages, listings, etc point to dead webpages, expired domains, etc...

    Hi.

    Rough time of my life. Sorry for being so abrasive on here. On a lighter note, I managed to score a H22A7 intake manifold for a decent price. :D

    H23a Vtec swap

    Don't forget to swap the pulleys on the throttlebody so that you can retain power steering. and you'll likely need to make a bracket to relocate that throttle cable
