Well, the good news is my car is back and running fine. The bad news is that its soul is gone. I've finished putting back the F22b1 back into the car as temporary. I have to save up the cash for this fall, late October so that I"ll have enough money to rebuild the H block.

To those that don't know what I had, it was a JDM H22A swapped + NOS dry kit (75 shot). I had it for a lil more than 2 years then somehow, my block seem to lost power and stoped functioning. Prayed open, the piston rod was rotten and one of the piston was crack, the seal was leak , etc. I posted a thread about it in the basement a while ago.

I spent 2 weeks putting that F block back in. It wasn't that hard though, but the wiring killed me. Fortunately, I was able to got those spare parts on the other accord that my cousin left in the backyard of the shop. Its use is primarily for parts replacements, etc.

What I forgot this evening when I drove home was that I no longer has an H22A sitting in their with the 75 dry shot to back me up. This Nissan Sentra SE-R was reving at me and tried to race me. Somehow I was able to win, he must have been a terrible driver and have a heavy a** sub box in the trunk or something.

Another bad news is that I had to spend money to fix the Power steering threshold hose, that was a pain in the a**. Yesterday evening, 2 days after the car was finished, I was cruising then realized that my steering is very hard. I pulled to a parking lot, lifted the hood and saw that the power steering fluid was almost gone and sprayed every where. After I checked, luckily, the pump is okay, but the hose is broken. I had to drive around today from shop to shop to find a spare one. Luckily, I was able to fix it ontime for the trip.

Here's some pics I took today.

 

I love your car man. Good luck getting the H22 back up and going.

Sweet ride :thumbup: Good luck with the h22

 

WEll, I'm back from Daytona.

Bad experience while going there. 50 miles from starting and I heard a strange noise of something flapping against the underhood. Pulled over to an exit, pop it open and found that the powersteering belt got stripped off piece by piece on the side. ALMOST BROKEN.

Asked some gas station attendance, and drove anoher 25 miles to find a pepboy. It's the nearest local autopart store that might have the belt in stock. Waited 30 mins for them to open, ran in, had the guy check all over the stock room and found the only one left.

Ran out to my car and changed it. Luckily that I brought my tool box along. **phew** Everything run fine for the rest of the trip.

Cause: The power steering fluided spilt all over place last Friday due to the threshold hose broken. I replaced the hose last Friday, before the trip, but did not clean the oil carefully.

NOTE: ALWAYS CLEAN OFF EXCESSIVE OIL SPILL IN THE BELTS TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING OVERHEAT AND STRIPPED OFF.
