Accord Type R LHD

Some news of my car, it still running strong and i'm really happy with it!

I have a lot of work to do on the engine, i'm planning to do it this Spring , actually it is too cold outside to work under the car, and my back is in a really bad condition

I have to replace the LMA and i'll replace the valves seals at the same moment, as i'm burning oil too much
I have to test the compressions but i hope i'll do it this week-end.
I alos have to replace the clutch disc, actually it is not sleeping yet but it feels a little bit weak.
I'll also check the cylinders walls with my brand new usb endoscope

Some pictures of the pistons and the cylinder walls, the FRM liner seems to be in very good shape.






The pictures are not really good bud when i look directly on my PC with the USB endoscope, it is really clear


About the cylinders compression, i have to modify my compression tester to have the more accurate value posssible, but all i can say is that the 4 cylinders are really close each other, so it is another good new.

The pistons seems to be clean, just a little bit greasy , the culprit are the valves seals that i have to replace and it will be done as soon as possible...

Yep, that looks good and clean!

Some news from my black anvil , i finally foud the time to test the compressions and they were all between 232 to 246 PSI, so i'm really happy of the result!

I still have to replace my valves seals but i'll do it as soon as possible!

Hi everybody, this afternoon i finally found some time to TIG weld a bung on the exhaust manifold, in way of installing the EGT probe of my AEM EGT gauge, hurray!



I still have to install correctly the wiring but the gauge is fully functionnal

Hello

These last days i've worked a little bit on my black anvil, first i've modified my rear suspension arms to correct the excessive camber.
Now the car feel handling better, it was a hard task but i'm happy of the result



after the modification:



Then i worked on my future auto climate control, by replacing the cracked polarising film of the LCD and by replacing the lights by some LED light:

Was the excessive camber 'as built' or due to damage?

[hondaddict]

The excessive camber was due to the lowering of the car ( - 30 mm if i remember correctly) , i didn't know the technical word but the rear suspension system is a " 5 arms" .( multi link is the correct word?)

With a double wishbone, the excess of camber when the car is lowered is easy to compensate with camber kit , but on an ATR, it is not as easy

Some news here!

I have worked a lot on my climate control, as i'm out of money for my engine build

So i'm waiting for some minor parts but a lot of work have been done



An side Mirror upgrade coming from UK:



And actually, i'm helping a friend who bought a U2Q7 gearbox and want the Torsen into his M2K4 gearbox.
So i'm doing the conversion and i'll keep the U2Q7 for me.
I'm planning to put Inside an ITR torsen with a 5th gear coming from a 3rd gen Prelude.





Next step soon!

That's quite some hybrid box you have in mind there...
What's the reason for choosing those bits in particular?
Surprised 3g box parts are interchangeable?
