  • I think it looks ok with the bullbar there, but wouldn't think it would like right without the bar in front of it...like on someone else's car. Just my opinion.

    You're doin good smokey!

  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    SOUTHEST WAGON MEET FTMFW!!!! im down for whenever people, i have a 7 week winter break from school 8) thats how i managed to get stuff done noww, my car was on standby for a while with school going on, :lol:

    im taking 15 credit hours a quarter, its the most i am "allowed" without special permission, also working like 25 hours a week, not too bad.

    well the MPFI starts tomorrow, everyone wish me luck!!! :( (im kinda nervous)
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    alright, picked up the following today from the yard...

    -PM6 ECU
    -PM6 Distributor
    -PM6 Throttle Cable
    -fuel lines (they were much nicer then mine are)
    -couple random wire clips
    -Oil cap from a 6th gen civic :lol:
    -and some other random little crap

    i was about to pick up a lip from a 4th gen accord to modify for a rear lip but my friend got first dibs :x oh well, there is always next time 8)

    i'll keep you guys posted!!
  • I don't know if this was mentioned already, but you don't have to swap throttle cables.

    Also, I don't think that a mpfi swap does all that much for performance. My wagon is a mpfi swapped b15b2. After the swap, it felt a *little* more powerful as it climbed in revs. Not to be Captain Bringdown, but your wagon will still be slow as shit. You should expect significant mileage increases, though. Also, you will be pretty much plug and play for motor swaps.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    alright, im mid-swap right now and just discovered that the throttle cable from the A6 wont work, so im sticking with my stock one.

    haha, 80% of the parts i got were free, so i was like "wtf, imma do it" just till next year when imma be getting an 'aych twenty-two ay' ;)

    oh, plus my intake will be much louder now HAHA i sound like a f*cking ricer.

    *sigh*

    i meant to say H22A :wink:

    update on the MPFI: good lawd.. all the parts are in, about 1/3 wiring done, all thats left is stuff at the ECU and a bit more crap about the coolant hoses, then it should be ready to roll 8) assuming everything works, that is =S
