Default Jeff saved my car.

new to the site. have a 91 akkord and decided to do a simple swap in the engine bay. well it turned into a 3.5 month ordeal. i was at the point of almost donating my car to the local V.O.A. cause the shop that had started this project, said that it was an impossible wire up. called around for about a month, with no luck. then i stumbeled upon Jeff Frank. after a few little runs to the U FIX IT HONDA bone yard. Jeff had my car all wired up. he will be putting the finishing touches on the wiring. VTEC is not wired yet, but it is so fn cool to be driving my car. Jeff kicks severe *** when it comes to the honda scene. the car will be gettin boooosted by Jeff as soon as he can get time. thanks Jeff.......

no, the shop just couldnt do crap. half the stuff they did was loose. brackets, hood, power steering,. what it boiled down to, is that they are a bunch of hacks!! took the car up to their shop yesterday to show them that what they said was impossible, had infact been accomplished. another kid has fallen victim to the same shop. putting a h-22 into a second gen integra hatch. now he is screwed, just like i was at one point.

even though your spelling of "akkord" is retarded. and you missed the joke made by ravage. it sucks that there are shops like that. sucker kids in telling them that they can do ---- and just try to take them for a cupple grand. its bullshit.

well...the harness he had in there + the engine he had in there....there really was no way to make it work. obd0 harness with obd1 engine if i recall correctly? something like that...i don't pay too much attention to honda ramblings since i don't own one.

but jeff works mircales and somehow him and ted figured out a way to get one of those many wiring harnesses you had, to work with your new setup. glad you're happy with the thing.

for somthing that was a supposed simple swap. becuase of the first shop, i am into it about 1,700.00. when if i knew the right people the first tym. it prolly would have been alot cheeper. but i asked Jeff bout NOS or a turbo, and he said turbo for sure. so after this sunday's BBQ, Jeff will get the car back to finish, and we will set up a date for the turbo.

just an FYI...HMT now owns your life. you need to become a regular reader/poster, donate to the site, and sport a www.homemadeturbo.com sticker on your car once it's boosted.

LOL This is very true,Yes between Jeff an I i think we could tackle just about any project that they said cant be done.
On the donation side of it thats why it is important for users of this site to contribute what they can so as to keep this site up an running.
Due to the growth of this site normal servers cant handle the amount of traffic so Jeff has to step up to the plate an pay for a good fast server.
There is a lot of info here for the DIY Honda people.Lets all help to keep it up an running.....Thanks all Cadracer
