Hi Everyone,
I'm not real active on this board mainly because I'm usually busy with my own Accord and Honda lists I moderate and my Honda web site
hondapitstop.com
(shameless plug). That and making babies (my wife knows more about that one since our 3rd one will be here in about 7 months or so)
Anyway, I bought DOHCVTEC (Chris') Wrecked H22A 1995 Accord and I'll be getting it in a few weeks if no hurricanes block the shippers path or anything
My Plan A is that I'm going to try to restore the Accord to drivable condition and will have some questions along the way.
My Plan B is if for some reason I can't get the car restored then I'll have to just swap the engine into my 90 Accord. However, I want to try my hardest for plan A as might as well have two nice Accords for my boys to use when they get their licenses in 11 and 13 years. LOL. Plus, I'd like Chris to have some comfort that his car wasn't totally wasted by that uninsured idiot that wrecked his Accord and then left the scene!
Anyway, I hope I'm posting this in the right section. ((Admins move it if not.))
Questions:
1. SRS LIGHT - One of my first questions is has anyone disabled the SRS light on a 5th gen Acord so that it will light up momentarily then go off so it can pass a safety inspection? I would think someone has since some of you have replaced stock steering wheel with a racing wheel. (I've gotten comments back about adding resistors and such, but was wondering if there is an easier way?) I know that not replacing the airbags is uncool with some people but my 90 doesn't have them and I'm going to race this car so I really don't like or want airbags in this car if I can help it.
2. I'm going to be adding back Power Steering because I plan to Autocross this car eventually. I think that I need to use a Prelude PS pump and bracket but what years of Prelude can I use? The JDM H22A is 1994. Also is there much of a difference between the same year Prelude and Accord PS and brackets? Just curious.
3. Anyone know of any Helms 95 Accord or 94 Prelude manuals for sale before I purchase them from helm? Yes I searched ebay.
Here's my 90 Accord car page if anyone is interested.
I'll be making a 95 Accord H22A page as soon as I get the car in mah bellay!
