I think I want one of these on FP. This is the thread to post progress on your projects, or post what you've been working on. Mechanically inclined people unite!

Anyways, I spent four hours popping an H22 out of a friends prelude today. Fucking pain in the ASS. LITERALLY. MY ASS HURTS. fuck you, crown nuts. Also filled the oil back up on my CRX, because it's leaking or burning it. Burning it probably. POS.

My '93 DX Coupe is still leaking too. I think my VC is warped, gonna change it tomorrow with the one off of my friend's '89 CRX (D15B Non-VTEC), and polish it up.

Sometime soon gotta put an HF tranny in said CRX. It was an auto when I got it, and then my friend got it and he's recently bought an HF shell with everything for the swap. We've got it all pulled, just have to put it in.

Got the old jeep in today installed a new PCV Valve, Breather Valve, Grommets, New o2 sensor, new fuel injector o-rings new vaccumm lines and 6 new plugs, she's been running lean on me and had a slight skip on idle, so I am hopping this takes care of it.

**Doozle** · 13th January 2011

I changed the reverse light bulb.

I've had a replacement sitting on my desk for about 3 weeks and I finally got round to the arduous challenge of it.

Seriously though it took about 30 seconds.

**Bledrix** · 14th January 2011

I really wanna work on my civic but I don't have a garage or a driveway. And I really can't work outside now cause there is snow everywhere and its 20 Degrees outside. Can't wait for the weather to get nice!!

PILLS HERE! · 14th January 2011

Installed some brackets on the side,

going to remove the roof racks sometime since i don't need them

**CoilingTesla** · 14th January 2011

I worked on my argument on why I need to get my permit soon.

**Apocalypsox** · 14th January 2011

asdafsasd.

I hate preludes, stupid people, and H22s.

Get the fuck out of my way while I'm trying to work plox.

BUT NOPE

so now the dumbass has a broken driver side axle. Oh well, his pocket not mine. Engine is out regardless.

PILLS HERE! · 14th January 2011

I was thinking of doing a H22 swap for my Accord and maybe a manual conversion too

But I have no idea where to get a H22
For the manual I'll probably spend a fortune but I should be able to take a gearbox out of a wrecked GSR

Don't.

If its and F22 you are fine just sticking with it. You won't be gaining anything if you swap it. Just a waste of time and money.

Get a manual swap for your F22.

PILLS HERE! · 14th January 2011

Whoops not h22
I meant f22
Thanks for the correction bro

**Siminov** · 15th January 2011

Well got a new stereo custom installed into the volvo, I'll post pics when I get around to it.

I helped the guy a bit, but didn't do it all by myself, had to tear apart the back seats and the dash to get it done. It never had a place to put two rear speakers so I helped wire them in.

The Stereo by the way:
Dual XD1222

**Apocalypsox** · 15th January 2011

Welp, today I removed:
Four axles from preludes
all of the suspension on the front of both preludes
and dropped the engine back in the new one.

**Blaster** · 22nd January 2011

Excuse me while my leafsprings get better times on the Nurburgring than many European sports cars (ZR1)

Plus they're not conventional leaf springs as you might think.

Quite an informative article. I just spent several minutes reading about leaf springs.

What did I do today?

Drove my wagon, that counts as DIY. Tomorrow I need to do a compression test on a motor and decide if I'm going to tear it down before I drop it in.
