You beat me to it, I was keen to post that one up, best welcome abourd IMO. I originally saw this on JDMST a few days ago.


Welcome abourd Wongkonka! Why do you have an ES1 in your avatar? I want CB7 pics!

Welcome Abourd.

I live in Nambour, and work in Noosa, Marcoola, and Maroochydore.

[Wongkonka]

Why do you have an ES1 in your avatar? I want CB7 pics!

I've newb to all these ES1, CD5, CD7 terms, is there a complete or close to complete listing of all these terms somewhere so I can study them?

This ES1 is owned by my 2nd youngest uncle in Edmonton, AB, Canada where I was born and raised. I currently live in Nambour Australia.

[Wongkonka]

I fly down to sydney on the 11dec11 to sight it and hand over money. its a bit of a risk to go so far for a vehicle. but it is just damn beautiful. I'll try to post a picture...Hold on...
Testing

[EKVTIR-T]

Looks pretty cool man,hope its a strong horse

[Wongkonka]

This is an american list previously posted http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?82055-Chassis-codes-for-Honda-cars

I guess from the list my accord would be the CD5. Man there's alot of dfferent codes...

[EKVTIR-T]

Yeah it is CD5 :)

[Wongkonka]

Yeah the seller hasn't posted any engine pictures, and the interior pictures are very limited. I kinda of want to wait and be surprised to see whats under the hood, but rationally I should ask for pictures.. Either way the airlines tickets are non-refundable and I'm heading down either way.My brain is playing up and thinking of all sorts of goodies under the hood. I have to try not to get my hopes up!

[integragsi96]

If its the vti accord it should be the F22B (quote me if im wrong) which is the SOHC VTEC engine.
Should be a good horse for you mate.
My parents used to have one and it was where my love for honda began!

[Wongkonka]

Yeah from what I read its the first year they introduced Vtec, its an F22B1 2.2L Vtec. I'm happy for this.. I hope the previous owner put some goodies under the bonnet for me!

[Wongkonka]

I eventually want to mate a H22A head onto the F22 bottom, But I'll need to research this and save up heaps of money.. Baby on the way and all...

[EKVTIR-T]

Better to just throw the f22 on the garbage and use the entire h22a engine and transmisson

More reliable than swapping heads around.
An unopened well maintained honda motor will give you years of service even with many hearty revs :)

[Wongkonka]

Ok thanks for the advice. More expensive for the entire h22a engine isn't it? It there many things extra or the change in this kind of swap?

[EKVTIR-T]

Well it is and it isnt.

Theres more complete engine packages around than seperate h22a heads...

Then you factor in the labour of building the new combination engine it kinda balances out and is easier to just do a straight swap over to the h22a.
Plus the gear ratios will be correct for the h22a,instead of using the f series gearbox ratios :)

[Wongkonka]

Thanks mate, I'll look more into it in the future maybe when I pay off the debt this car will put me into.

[integragsi96]

And to make it easier again look for a front cut of a h22a prelude. 4th gen or 5th gen. as you would have all the necessary components there.

[androo]

Thanks mate, I'll look more into it in the future maybe when I pay off the debt this car will put me into.
Sounds like this car is going to put you further into debt with the plans you have! haha good luck with the car. Don't buy it just because you traveled so far though... If it's not good don't hand over your good money!

Thanks for your concerns guys, I definitely don't want to buy a lemon, the seller has just told last night that he got the rwc i asked for. so hopefully its legit.

I cant wait to have it and post pictures.

The thing I am loving about this is that you have a passion and interest in it!
cant wait for pictures. and once you get your car hit me up and we can get some photos of our cars =]

[Wongkonka]

I've always had a torturous passion for Honda ever since my first car as a eg civic. 93, but with 95 engine so it was vtec dohc instead of sohc, it ran hard with only 70k on the engine. Always started in canadian winter at -45 degrees celsius, not plugged in..it was such an oil leaking fender rusting front end damaged rock..

[integragsi96]

Nice car and spewing about the oil leak mate.
my passion started since when my parents had a 1996 honda accord vti 25th anniversary edition and it was such a nice car to be in. now they have a 06 accord with the k24a8

[Wongkonka]

Fixing image inserts...

[integragsi96]

[integragsi96]

nice nice!
have you got it home yet?
if so we can meet up if you like?

[Wongkonka]

Yeah, I've been home since Monday 0600. back to work now.The cigarette lighter has be converted to an engine start button, and I'd like to convert it back... so i can plug in my phone and things. Do you know how to do that?

[integragsi96]

sorry mate i dont know
and sweet... whats you impressions about the car?

[Wongkonka]

F'ing awesome. Drives so smooth. The guy I bought it from didn't do any mods to it, it was actually the previous owner to them that had the passion for it and did all the mods and extras. I'm just thankful there not much for me to do it. I just want to change the engine start button back to the power socket. I love the cruise control for the long drive back, and the short shift kit is cool to. Though makes it a little more tedious to change gears, but feels like I can be rough with it. theres a little shudder in the RIGHT front wheel assembly when i break, and the mechanic said it just combination of right hand rack something being loose and needing the rotor machined and new front brakes, other than that shes sweet. Thinking of naming her Elly. cuz shes so fine!!

[integragsi96]

haha!! thats good mate
I love the cruise control on my Prelude VTIR. but it has a range of like 7kph lol
i wouldnt mind seeing this car in person.

[Wongkonka]

Whens the next day you have off? For me it's this monday 19th

[integragsi96]

I get the weekends off work however I start work at 2pm on monday

[Wongkonka]

Hey mates, would anyone know where I can get a replacment cigarette lighter chassis? to replace the engine start button thingy?

[integragsi96]

hey mate try posting in the wanted to by section and make a thread. if not try honda?
