hey guys, not a new member here, i dont post much, started on here with a 92 lx sedan, milano red. Since theni bought a 96 chev blazer as my DD, and then, i found this. A 98 Acura EL, D16y8 stock, with 394xxx kms. Yeah thats high kilometers but not so bad if youve got a spare Y7 motor laying around!
So heres a couple pictures of the day i bought it, paid 300 dollars for it, yes only 300, and drove it home after freeing the alternator, and the back drivers side wheel.
heres the front
and notice the rust in the trunk, hard not to notice i guess haha
and heres my messy interior, (found an ipod in there, and about 20 bucks, not too bad)
So i think, 300 dollars, driveable, is never a high price! haha
Anyways, towed the car down to my stepfathers shop, about a 2 and a half hour drive, and we removed the motor, cleaned up my Y7, and checked my Y8 head over, and then together they went!
here it is, heartless.
heres my old block, not a very clear picture, sorry everything is cell phone pics, wasnt in good shape though
and here it is, mostly back together, and ready to drop it in
so got the engine back in the car, and after diagnosing a bad ground, and a loose fuel line, it was alive!
Drove it home the next day, (2.5 hours, good test for our work), and made it with no problems!
