    1996 Accord H23a Bluetop

    So something pretty crazy happened. The youtuber ThatDudeInBlue reviewed the Accord! He was in FL filming a little while ago and put it out on social media that he had some openings so I volunteered the Accord and he chose it!

    Going to the dark side... (mustang)

    Going to the dark side... (mustang)

    Got it. My phone takes massive picture files so I'll have to host & link which I'll do at some point. It's not the finest specimen but for the price it's still a deal and a half and if I fix like 2 small things I'll double my money or more. Gotta say, the only V8 vehicles i've owned were trucks...

    Going to the dark side... (mustang)

    My goal with recent cars has been to kind of do both, and ive been successful so far with it. Goal is to get the vehicle in good, running, resellable order and then drive it a little and see if I want to play with it or not. Found a 01 GT 5 speed with a black leather interior for 2k im gonna...

    Going to the dark side... (mustang)

    So my marriage and career have stabilized to the point I'm able to fix flip and manage project cars again. I could go post on a mustang forum but I figured I'd float the idea to you guys in case any of you have personal experience, I'm looking at picking up a 95-04 mustang, 5 speed manual and...

    H23a Bluetop Swap

    Had to do some routine maintenance and I wanted to note some things that may help someone down the line. I refreshed my ignition system today. Parts used... Distributor cap from a 2000 Civic SI Distributor rotor listed for a 1995 Prelude SI (VTEC) Spark plug wires and plugs for a H22a I had...

    Are you going to get vaccinated?

    Just to chime in on the topic in general... My whole family got vaccinated pretty much right away. I was hesitant, but my wife and I got it a couple months later (Pfizer, 2 shot). I had 0 issues, my wife had a bad reaction to the first shot (shaking uncontrollably, fever, chills, chest pain)...

    1996 Accord H23a Bluetop

    I am once again asking for your input. I have a 500W Amp pushing two 10" 250W speakers, nothing crazy, but it gets the job done and i got it for mostly free out of a junk car. My single din radio is pretty old at this point (has Bluetooth for calling but not media lol) so I'm looking to...

    1996 Accord H23a Bluetop

    Had to replace the engine coolant temp sensor, VTEC pops again nice and strong. I sold both my Preludes and my EG coupe to the same guy, I've made about 2500 so far selling old parts I'm never going to use. So far I have a CL cluster on order, rear camber arms, and I'll be getting better...

    Workout thread 2021

    My health has fluctuated a lot. I'm 6'1, and in 2019 I went from 238 to 178lbs, largely by doing HIT 2 days a week and heavy lifting 1 day a week, low carb diet and playing basketball 2-3 days a week and football 1 day. Fast forward to being in a committed relationship, tearing my meniscus and...

    1996 Accord H23a Bluetop

    This is definitely a "my generation" thing but I'm using the vehicle's Instagram page I made forever ago. If you use IG, a follow would be nice. @bluetop_cd5

    The Office Chair thread

    My wife works from home and has horrific lower back problems, any suggestions on what offers good support for that but isn't super expensive?

    1996 Accord H23a Bluetop

    Finally got the ride height situation figured out, along with the camber. The springs were supposed to be preloaded, but alas it turns out they were not so I had to figure that out on my own and now it drives perfect. I'm so happy with it.

    1996 Accord H23a Bluetop

    So I got everything in, the vehicle is running good besides a check engine light which I will have to investigate further. My initial guesstimate at the ride height adjustment was wrong in the front end but right in the back so I'm going to take some measurements and try to level it out...

    1996 Accord H23a Bluetop

    I really haven't taken a whole day to do a project like this, it's been fun. I got the clutch kit, flywheel, transmission installed and I'm on to the suspension. Unfortunately I won't have my inner tie rods so my toe adjustment is gonna have to wait

    1996 Accord H23a Bluetop

    Suspension had a bad sag on one side so rather than replace with OEM struts I went ahead and bought a set of Truhart coilovers and a camber adjustment kit. Not going to drop her much, just a little bit & try to keep my numbers good. While I'm in there I'm going to go ahead and do my inner and...

    87 Teg

    I had a chance to buy a 87 Special Edition Teg from the original owner, still one of my "what if" moments. Looks great, I'm excited to see what comes of it.

    1996 Accord H23a Bluetop

    So upon further review I can say conclusively that a 97-01 power steering bracket from a 97-01 prelude fits the engine head, but does not fit with the Accord alternator/ac mounting bracket. I can get 2/3 holes from the F22 Accord power steering bracket to line up with some shimming to the...
