92-96 Honda Prelude Short Shifter : JTC Customs
I'll get something posted up tonight for you Shandles. Fitment is tight around the strut bolts, and the passenger bolt hole that should be on the firewall is about 3/4" off the firewall, so it is installed with 5/6 bolts/nuts holding it down.Yessir! I am actually winding down and just fixing the things that are mechanically wrong with it and saying "done". It will probably not get painted unless I attack it with spray cans.
With that said, I think my fuel pump is dying. The walbro made a high pitched noise when priming the fuel system when it was first installed (years ago). It now sounds like a toy with a dead battery. No issues with fuel delivery, the noise is making me worried a little bit. If anything, I bet I damaged it running the car dry last weekend while bleeding the coolant system.
Hey ya' go Shandles!

Don't mind the paint missing and the zip tie, I spilled brake fluid on it a while ago and the tie is holding the hose from rubbing my freshly painted VC.



I am helping out my roommates parents this weekend and replacing the radiator in their 92 Cutlass Ciera. Depending on how smoothly that goes, I might have some extra time to clean up the diversion panel, and do a transmission fluid flush. Maybe more.

My Walbro pump makes a low hum noise, you may have nothing to worry about there. I say you go through and paint it man, you'll fall in love with it again haha. Everyone I know who got bummed on their project was revived when they got it out of paint.
aw heck yeah! thats what I'm talking about! Thanks man. You were right too, the material does look a bit thin and flimsy. Does it seem sturdy at all?
Got my tax refund finally... time to buy a few things for my project!

Spent a few hours on the car this afternoon and got the horns installed and working 100%. Here is what I made to go in place of the A/C condenser.

Now sitting in the A/C condenser spot.

Behind the bumper.


All wired up and ready to go.

I took a video of the OEM horn and the new horns. I will make up a youtube video sooner or later. The horns were $10 from harbor Freight.

EDIT - Already done!

^^Yea man, I love the sound of the horns. Just wish I went with train horns so they could be even louder! No thanks on the big compressors and all that nonsense though.
I plan on relocating my coolant over flow to the left over spot next to the radiator. Also, I will mount another piece of metal so the piece I made extends all the way up to the upper radiator support. It should help direct air flow into the radiator instead of around it
. I will probably end up paint the entire thing black so it is all hidden too.

Bought a can of black plastic dip yesterday. Planning on painting the plastic eBay grill (which is now unpainted black) to see how the paint holds up and if I like it. If it works, I might just spray the car and be done with that part of it all. haha
If not, then I will just spray it in the wheel wells or paint the rotas with it.
Otherwise, I have done nothing with the car recently. I = lazy

I just ran through about 30 pages of your thread trying to find pictures of when you installed your wink mirror, lol. I found them, and yup, it helped. The write-up on HT made it look much more difficult.
Tell us how that plasti-dip works out for you, I've been wanting to try that on my wheels. They say it won't last, but hey, I can deal with that. If you got the color mixing set, I bet you could change the color of your wheels a couple times a year, with just one kit! Maybe? Hope so, it costs like $40 bucks
