Hi name is eric new fb owner from toronto.

 

Sometimes the "Microphone" isn't on here!..lol!
If you post up some Pics of your car someone will pop in to sing praises!
Good to See you made it over from the New Section Eric.

 

Welcome into your own personal trip into insanity.
If there's no pics, it's not real! So get some pics up of your new obsession.

 

cool....it's real lol.
will snap some pics later.
it's just sitting on my driveway right now.
not on the road yet, trying to get rid of another car before I can drive this puppy.
anybody want a 96 accord?

 

Welcome to the club!

 

here she is, not much to see yet.



the car came with brand new kyb excel g front and rear, pacesetter header, magnaflow cat and muffler, energy susp. swaybar endlinks and bushings front and rear all needing to be installed.

there seems to be an oil leak from the rear of oil pan. gonna put her up on the ramps this weekend to clean it and have a better view of where the leak might be coming from.

car has little dings but no rust which is good. the power antenna stopped working when i picked up the car but i can still hear the motor chugging but the it's not going anywhere. the driver side door panel has a tear on the vinyl by the window. the one thing i dont like, the original owner had an after market sunroof put in and is now leaking by the handle.

hope to meet new people here and learn more about the car.

 

Welcome aboard! Your"puppy" as you called it looks like it has real potential.

 

So i wasnt feeling well this morning and called in sick
Leak is coming from the under the beehive.

 

Your first modification should be to source out a short radiator with the oil cooler underneath and get rid of the beehive or an SE cooler which sits in front of the radiator (like FC's).


Or you could fix the oil leak

 

Can i not just mount a FC oil cooler in front of the rad? Will this affect cooling if i do so?

 

Welcome to the brotherhood Eric!

I've done the exact thing, mounted an FC oil cooler under the rad (which is the way it used to be prior to 1984/85 models) and still kept the beehive for even extra oil cooling & capacity.

Feel free to reach out for local help, I live here in Toronto and have had my Fb since ..... 1985 when I was but a child.

Jim thanks for the offer and i will definitelt hit you up on your offer.
When in toronto are you?
Im in scarberia.

 

Eric, I'm in North York close to Fairview Mall.



Jim

 

Im not too far then. Just sourced out an fc oil cooler, pending pick up on sunday. What i havent figured out is what lines to use. Maybe we can get together some time just so i can see your set up.

 

Beehive leak fixed. Got the o rings and crush washers from scarborough mazda for free.
Now i understand why almost everybody that has it hates it.
Took about 45 mins to remove and another 15 to put it back on.
Need to cancel the oil cooler conversion for a bit, my daily driver needs attention.

 

The Beehive will be fine. Its not as bad as everyone talks it up to be.
