how strong is it realy

[jdmaccordbo!916]

everyone always says that the honda is built to run forever 300,000 miles or so.. if this is true then what is the worst that has happened to your car so far, such as (something major going wrong)... for me i think it has to be the transmission going out twice in a year, that an my car getting stollen 6 months ago... what is it for you.. im pushing onwards of 170,000 + miles now, an i have not had anything happen besides the tranny.... what was it for you if anything at all yet...

[ridin90accord]

mine getting broken into 11 times and i broke a little plastic box for my vacuum line #8 and i have 190000

[vasponger]

i only got 80k and i think all i have gotten done is the basics ac/exhaust was rusted/....

[matts]

your just appoching the timing belt change too. your 94 must have been babied for a while, thats not many miles at all.

[vasponger]

yeah it was my gmas she didnt really drive it. im hopefully gettin a pulley set so might as well change the belts then.

[jdmaccordbo!916]

yeah it was my gmas she didnt really drive it. i bet you she is looking at that car now like lord what did i do...lol

[vasponger]

[jdmaccordbo!916]

poor thing, you are going to give her a heart attack, she keeped it all nice an stock an you get it an destroy the hole thing.. what were you thinking... lol..

[Infini Omega]

i have about 60,000 on my 95 hehe.

[jdmaccordbo!916]

i have about 60,000 on my 95 hehe.
is that original miles, or is that with a jdm swap in it... that is hella low if it is the original motor... that is what my car had on it when i bought it 4 years ago, or was it 5 years.. lol.. now im at like double that... but it is still purrin like a kitten, if you ignore the slightly rough idle..

[matts]

i have about 60,000 on my 95 hehe.

i'm so jealous!!!

[jdmaccordbo!916]

ya now im starting to wish that i never drove to chi town or st.louis... gggrrrr those two trips killed my miles, i wish i still was in the low miles club...hehehe

[vasponger]

i have about 60,000 on my 95 hehe.

yeah but you swapped allready!

[jdmaccordbo!916]

yeah but you swapped allready!
wait a second thats right he did swap the motor hu.... what was it again... the c32 or something like that... i dont recall...??

[vasponger]

yeah i think the 95 v6's were the c27 and he got a c32 from some acura

[jdmaccordbo!916]

ya i remember him saying something about a c32T an it only came on so many cars, an it was obviously a turbo hence the T...lol... i would like to maybe do that swap in my car.. lattley i been looking at the acura 3.2L that engine would hawl some mager ass in are cars.... what it is like to dream... :D

[jaccord96]

8o,000 on a 96, and my only prob is my super crappy automatic... other than that it runs great! so happy..some day ill get an h22 trans in there, when i get a new job.

[Infini Omega]

my new engine is sitting i need to pay for piping and get haltech and bov and injectors and wastegate and fuel lines and fuel pump. but when that baby goes in it will be brand new so zero miles. heheh my speedo doesnt work because of the tranny swap so i will never gain more miles. hehe. hopefully the haltech will fix it though. still alot of friggin work to do on my engine. oh and the last thing i need is roll cage in my car which my friend is making for me. it will stop the engine from tearing apart my car. the engine i have in my car is orignial which i am trading with jg for the new one. after it is ready to be put in. oh and i need axles and lsd my fucking god so much money at least another 4-5g since lsd is custom made along with nearly everything else

[vasponger]

you car makes me want to masturbate

[Infini Omega]

ha i bet your just masterbating anyways from looking at your freaking icon! you are the Great Master Vator hehe

[matts]

you car makes me want to masturbate

thats gross.

any power estimates on the new engine?

[vasponger]

haha youll see why it does when he replies!

[Infini Omega]

well intially for the public it will make about 500-550 whp and for me and aidan my buddy we are hoping to get it up to 600-700 whp. the problem is not really the horsepower (easy to make power with methanol) but the torque since it makes more torque than horsepower. my ideal would be around 600whp flat.

[matts]

you car makes me want to masturbate

jesus christ, me too. uuuuh i need to be alone right now.

[vasponger]

ohh god there its goes...... do you got any pics of the new paint and body style

[Infini Omega]

yea ill give you a link later or something the avatar is the latest picture i have another profile picture too in my info

[vasponger]

yeah thats the ones i was looking for in the old tech room but couldnt find them

[TheFirstNutZo]

I have worked on four accords, and here's the major issues I've had with them:

87 Accord -- camshaft broke, turned the car into a parts car since I had a 88 accord that was fuel injected. I think it had about 280,000 miles

88 Accord - so far, the rear suspension has had to be replaced, and the distributor and alternator have had to be replaced. Also rebuilt the AT. its running strong right now and it has about.. 215,00

93 accord ex (auto) - 115,000 miles, nothing major has had to be done to it... I had to redo the brake system and redo the front suspension and exhaust rusted out.

93 accord ex (mt) - 115,000 - alternator, exhaust rusted out, and thats it so far :)

[jdmaccordbo!916]

i rely hate AAMCO an everyone that works with them.. sorry if it afends anyone ... but they are all a bunch of little bitches.. my car was supposed to be done today.. for sure, an now they are saying that it is not done at all.. what kind of shit is that, they told me yesturday that it was going to be done today. they just needed to road test it... bastereds.. i wanna run them all into the ground... sorry needed to vent out there a little..heheheheh

[TheFirstNutZo]

that sucks. I think we need to institute a vent thread :)

[vasponger]

SPO- super punch out anything goes but the thread gets closed after a week! :)

[TheFirstNutZo]

SPO- super punch out anything goes but the thread gets closed after a week! :)
sounds like fun! :)

[vasponger]

yeah im just stealling from dragva, those thread is spo are some of the funniest ive ever read

[jaccord96]

i think anouther useful section would be a product review area. i have some parts i wouldnt recomend... and if i had a place specific to post about it, i could keep u all from buying the same crap...and good stuff too........ i think user advice would be helpfull.

[vasponger]

thatd be cool never thought of that

[matts]

that would be really nice. i hate buying stuff, especially when it's expensive, without talking to someone who uses it first.

[vasponger]

i guess im the test project for megan racing, header good, exhaust good, cam gear? we'll see

[TheFirstNutZo]

Yeah that does sound VERY useful. I would really like to do that. :)

[jdmaccordbo!916]

ya i like the idea as well.. we should partistion it to phil an see what he says about it... product review would be good because we could do are own feild tests an print are dyno sheets an stuff when we post it up or something like that.. so ppl could see what it realy would do for them...

[TheFirstNutZo]

.. probably something that should be limited to Amateures and higher though.

[Pyramid_Head]

96k on my stock 97 accord se. It's been misfiring lately, but i got rid of that by replacing my cap and rotor, new spark plugs and wires. I also need to check my timing, replace struts, and bushings(what kind of bushings and struts should I buy next). I also feel my auto tranny slipping when it shifts from 1st to 2nd gear so I should check that out. Replaced my old mounts ( it took me a very long time) and I don't know the code for my stock stereo, so i need to take the thing out, get the serial number from my stereo and go back to the dealer to get my code. By the way, is there any trick to take out a stock cd player from the dash? My trim is all messed up because I've been trying all night.

[TheFirstNutZo]

on the 93's at least, it all comes out from behind there are bolts holding the CD player in, you need to remove the bolts in order for it to come out. Then you just push it out and it slides out nice. In order to do it you have to remove the center console and the glove box though.. so its a bit of a pain.

[jdmaccordbo!916]

wow, i think i have seen the father of accords today... let me tell ya, i went to the parts store today to try an find a set of ngk spark plugs, an there was this old man in there trying to find something for his car... all i heared was him say accord, an the only accord i seen out in the lot was an old ass (from the 80's) original accord, (let me tell you this car was very well keept) so when i was leaving the old guy was out side buy his car, i went over an asked him if he was the original owner an he said yes... (this is where the shock comes into play now) i asked him how many miles he had on it an he replyed that it had somewere around 324,000 miles on it... yes you read that correctly... an the crazyist part aobut it is that it was the original tranny an motor he said.. that is insane in my opinion...

[TheFirstNutZo]

thats HONDA, BABY!

[vasponger]

my friends got a 82? accord not fuel injection, has the circle air filter like in old muscle cars :p

[TheFirstNutZo]

ain't that called a carbeurator?

[vasponger]

yeah i cant spell :(

[jdmaccordbo!916]

yeah i cant spell :(
its ok, i probably would have done the same thing you did, an just discribe it...heheheh

[TheFirstNutZo]

I am pretty sure I spelled it wrong when I spelled it...

[CHaDSTeRACCORD]

i have a CB7 with 250,000 the speed sensor died on me... and CD5 with 195,000 master cylinder leak and almost totalled the car....

[Infini Omega]

carburetor is how its spelled

[Infini Omega]

i dont have a speed sensor either hehe its great you never gain mileage.

[jdmaccordbo!916]

how does the speed sensor efect the odometer ?? im curious how this works..

[takezo]

..150 K and still running..running... harr..harrrrrr....

[jdmaccordbo!916]

i just saw a 95 accord on cars.com that had 200,000 miles on it..

[myGrub]

Mine's got 51k (it had 36k when I bought it 3 yrs ago) and this has been babied - it helps to have a second car!

[vasponger]

94 with 78k :D

[jdmaccordbo!916]

hahaha now i got that jdm cluster in there, i only have 100,000 but i dont think its in miles. i dunno. so maybe it is less than that...hahahahhaha..

[ACCLUDE]

I have an F22A4 that has 270,000 original miles. Orig. motor and tranny. Changed the slave cyl. and clutch once (need to do it again soon) but that's about it. The rest has just been regular maintenance. This motor/tranny combo has been in 3 different Accords and has always run fine. With my luck the damn thing will blow tomorrow, but I think I can squeeze another 200,000 out of it before it finally goes. Check this out.....it still has the ORIGINAL TIMING BELT and believe it or not, but it still looks new to this day! Motor still has damn near perfect compression on all 4 cyl. and runs excellent. Tranny still shifts really smooth. I plan to keep this motor/tranny until they blow for good. I'll let you guys know when they finally kick, what caused it to die, and the mileage it die at.
