Bri's H22A8 4th gen

Post by Bri » Sat Jan 21, 2012 9:57 pm

Well as suggested on another thread I thought I would get a profile going here on LG . So far I have not done as much as I would of liked to due to a tuff year and poor weather. Now though things are looking up and my mojo has returned. With a bit of luck the weather should start improving in the coming weeks and I will unleash a can of kick arse on my new project.

So far my intentions are to put a full leather interior back in this lude like it was origionally, for now though I have just stuck in a UK spec interior, did even think of doing the black and red thing like I did on my old lude.

As for the outside, well I want it looking the same as my last one but black. I believe this is a limited edition ayrton senna prelude but I have yet to learn or find litriture about this. It has his name on the boot lid and the lettering looks origional, it has gold badges and the uber rare TV in the dash.

Anyway A few pics to show the progress of what I have done so far:

This engine is no good as the head gasket has gone, its noisey tappets I cant be arsed with and looking in there is full of gunk. Not what I want in my lude so I have sold the engine to somone who wants to rebuild it and drop it in a civic. I happen to have a H22A8 from a UK VTI and from what I gather its bang on the same as the ATR and Type S, the power difference is in gas flow and mapping so in it goes, injectors are being swapped and ECU getting chipped with spoon or sleepy. Im leaving it auto for now because I drove one once and I was very supprised so I will give it a go. If I get bored with auto I have the parts for manual conversion at a later date.

Anyway out with the old and in with the new.

Cant wait. Its gona be great with a bit of work. Just getting back into a lude will be what I need. Somthing to work towards. I will be at some of the shows this year no matter what.

Nope but it will be this week. I just lost my job and I have a shed load of parts to sort and sell now so I will get time to get it road ready and sell the frontera. I only need one car and the lude is the priority now.

Right then Phill how much you offering me dude? I got no job so I need every penny I can get my hands on now. they do have that bit cut out for the side exit exhausts but it would be easy to sort that. as for it staying auto, I thought I would leave it be for a while, I have driven one before and I was blown away and there is sod all difference in performance, if I dont like it or if I get bored I will swap it over to manual, not a problem in my eyes, besides I want to keep my driving on the road calm because I have 8 points!!
