last night i took the engine harness and laid it out.think i may have the wrong harness though,i have an extra plug on both sides of the harness and i'm not to sure why and from what i remember the vx harness didnt have extra plugs ...hmmmmm

also found a cut plug,the injector plugs ahve to be redone ,the speedo sensor has to be swapped from the vx trans to the si (hope it works) also the harness seems way to long....lol

this is my wifey and the one i'm building the ar for


she cameout in my old lugz...had a lol over it

crx is back inside with a very beat up an alot of surface rust


cowl hood im working on for it


reno/facelift pics ?
since the baby is coming i have to make my bedroom larger for the crib and whatnot,sooo i will be relocating the south wall out about 30 inches ,but in this pic i moved all my ovies and such into my living room untill that goes down (notice the john wayne pic) lol

primed the drywalled and mudded walls,i have a few lifting of the tape issues,by the window i have to redo and or fix...but looks way better thus far i think...



i also got a new tub...well new to me...this is an old ass claw tub with shower curtain holder and shower rod,the tub was made in 1913 people haha and weighs 300 lbs i'm going to restore it and put it in the bathroom after i reno in there in the fallowing months ...just need to dry wall and laminate in there frst

classic taps,but not original,obviously have been changed ,since i found the exact same ones for sale for 150


i'm going to go for this type of look in the bathroom


i love the laminate floors


anyways i'll be out there working on something today,damn harness is pissing me off and wanted to have this car running by now

lets just say i'm different

- Sat Mar 19, 2011 5:32 pm #244865 i am very impressing with all the random skills u have. u could probably make a good living just flipping hondas. better yet flipping houses

- Mon Mar 21, 2011 6:59 am #245132 thanks i actually do flip hondas for a living haha,i buy salvage titles and fix them .i also do rust repair on other cars.

so i have an issue,i think i have the wrong engine harness again,or im missing something i have two extra plugs on each side of the bay where if harness comes out of the wall...i'm thinking the dude swapped a full vx harness ,but maybe someone could shed some light ?

this one on the passenger side of the bay

this one on the drivers side of the bay


the o2 will have to be rewired

the speed sensor wires have been cut...

i'm going to have to make the TPS sensor wires longer ,like an inch or so
ummmm
starting to think i should have just tucked the harness a lil bit


i did more work on my place too ,since the baby is coming i made the master bedroom bigger since i have to fit a crib and change table and such,so this is what i did



rounded wall

temp walls untill i put new drywall (truck s full of junk)i'll be buying more next week sometime

lol notice the old door just chilling covering a wall hehe

oh and monster stickers for the bay

oh and i got a neuspeed front strut bar for the monster as well,gonna strip it and spray it in orange probably

lol i'm trying yo ...just all over the place lately ,tried to fire the engine yesterday and the car was acting very weird...like i dunno whats up,didnt crank or anything,all my ights and shit work,but when i turn the key over the fan turned on ...so i checked my grounds and they were all fine...i tried again and still nothing,i get the click of the main relay,but i didnt hear the fuel pump prime,i'm going to change the starter tonight and see if the neutral switch isnt broken...

if all else fails i'm going to yank the motor and do a tuck harness with he vx harness ...i bet thats my issue,must be a reason why i have to extra plugs coming out of the firewall

oh and i turn the signal on when on acc and the oil and engine light come on and buzz....so wierd ,ive done a few swaps and never seen this before

but i'l figure it out

look what i got today,cost me 5 bucks haha

lets just say i'm different

- Fri Mar 25, 2011 4:07 am #246097 alright i'm starting to get a bit fed up with the no cranking issue...so far ive checked the fuses,i cleaned the grounds and the mounting points and made sure they were tight,checked to see if maybe the neutral switch was broken,changed the starter,changed the engine harness and intake manifold...unplugged the ecu and checked the plugs ,like i'm running out of ideas here asto what the issue might be...it has to be a ground issue

there is only 3 grounds on the engine and trans correct ? the one on the thermostat housing,the trans an the head right ?

hmmmmm i wonder






i had to put the injector plugs back on this harness


this big ass can is just wicked

lets just say i'm different

- Fri Mar 25, 2011 4:47 am #246110 oky i went and check the neutral saftey switch again since i found this pic ,but is there suppose to be one or two of these sensors ? i have one at the top,but the pic mentions two,or at least thats what i gathered



i have the switch A ,but not b,i have the lock nut,but thats it,i don't see this being the issue since there would be some sort of plug or something to show that the sensor B was present at one point...

lets just say i'm different

- Fri Mar 25, 2011 5:54 am #246120 i gve up for the night ,i pulled te main relay(dont think its the issue) but i'm going to resolder the contacts tmw anyways



i made a jumper for the starter as well ,to try that again nothing...well the fan came on i dunno i'm lost here haha

i wonder if i got the engine bay fuse box wet or something...dont think so...

lets just say i'm different

- Fri Mar 25, 2011 3:28 pm #246170 what kind of mainharness are u using, from an auto or a manual ??

- Sat Mar 26, 2011 1:41 am #246292

what kind of mainharness are u using, from an auto or a manual ??

from what the previous owner told me is that this car is a cx and he put the vx engine into after the original engine finally popped after forgeting to add oil ...he never said anything about doing a auto to manual so i'm guessing standard main harness.this is what i dont get i drove this car for a couple months untill parking to start the rust repair,but got side tracked with one of my ED chassis...So it has to be something ive missed or something not working correctly

lets just say i'm different
