Henry's F23 Rebuild Thread

[henreeezy xp]

herro guys. some of you may know, the accord's dead at the moment. i think i blew the trans and the motor's almost at 200k. so its time i put my knowledge from UTI to work and do a complete-car REBUILD!

just got the car pushed into the garage tonight. will be tearing it the motor out piece by piece this weekend. ill have pics up once i start (p&s quality)

plans are..
1. pull the old motor and trans. rebuild a new one with some "extra" stuff and get old trans rebuilt by a shop.
2. minor interior work (steering wheel, stereo, etc)
3. suspension work (new coils, strut/sway, etc)
4. rear disc conversion + all new pads + drilled/slotted rotors.
5. exterior stuff then paint NHBP!

check back in like a year to see the finished product

4/16/2012 UPDATE:
So it's been over a year.... LOL Finally have SOME funds for some things. Lucky me, the mother is providing me just enough funds the new motor which will be bought once I get the money.

So.. a couple of teasers.

Note: I'm a tech at Mercedes and when a tab on a headlight assembly gets broken, the ballers buy a new one and I was able to get a hold of a pair.

What I started when I pushed the car into the garage last year but never touched and still haven't touched it yet. I will soon though.

and ultimate teaser.

just kidding.

not shure if there still around but 88rotors has real good prices on slotted/drilled rotors. mine are still straight after 2 years of driving! they are authentic brembos slotted and drilled in house. at least they were at the time.

thought you might want to know

They sure are cuz I jus did the 5 lug and got a set from 88rotors. Excellent products fast delivery, jus expect 2 boxes and 2 different times and they come with brakes
