Hey guys, the name's Mori. I'm new to the forum but I've been working with Honda vehicles for 15 years and I even worked for their manufacturing quality departments for 3.5 years. I may return to the Honda Research Group in the next 6 months. Anyways, my manual 1996 Accord EX Sedan's engine overheated and won't start now and so I'm mainly here to provide help for people since all of my forums went under. The accord is being parted out and I should have a posting soon up in the classifieds. I plan on purchasing a 2010 Accord Coupe soon, but in the mean time I am driving a 2000 Prelude Type SH. I just finished my bachelors in both mechanical and electrical engineering up at Kettering University in MI.

These were pictures of the Accord in the good days prior to turning it into an autocrossing car.













Here's the car as it stands today....

 

Looks like a really nice car when she was working, have you considered just getting a replacement engine? They can usually be had for $300-400.

Welcome to the forum.

I was considering an H22 swap when she blew but I decided I needed a change in my life and I had been looking for a 1996-1997 Manual Coupe EX but they are extremely rare to find, and came across a good deal on a Prelude so I was just like eh??!? NEW CAR. hah. It's been through a lot of fun in its life and just had to be put down. Did make me cry a bit though : p.

 

I want that cold air intake tube.

 

Go the sale post here.

There's a little paint chipping on the mounting so I'd recommend repainting which can be easily done. I removed the AEM decal because I hate those huge plastic stickers on the tube. I can send the tube, the mounting spacer I used to get it to fit properly, the hose clamps, and the fitting hose for 15 bucks + shipping. Reply on my sale post with zip so I can get a shipping estimate through UPS.
