I build cars and sometimes they run.
Addicted to anything with an engine.
You’ll probably see me working on a car or motorcycle, more likely than not breaking something in the process.
Vehicles I own:
1990 Honda Prelude
1979 Pontiac Firebird
1988 Ford Mustang 5.0
1979 Honda CBX1000
1983 Yamaha Seca XJ650 Turbo
1983 Honda Shadow VT500
Yeah, I said I was addicted.

There is a 1990 Prelude 4Ws for sale around 10k$ with 85k mile. I was thinking about buying it but the parts part really bother me. I think I'll pass even tho I'd really like one of these.
@@d_daniel6263 the lack of parts can definitely make it difficult. There quite a few groups out there for third gen prelude enthusiasts and there you can source just about anything, but no matter what you buy it’ll almost always be secondhand
You joke about corded being old, but twist connectors are old timey trash.
What would you recommend besides twist connectors? Wagos are good but kinda useless when only joining 2 or 3 wires
Nice job Bro!

What a difference some lights can make! Nice job Nick!

@@riotracing1561 that’s awesome, thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed! The floor patches suck to do but it’s well worth it to do it right the first time. If you check out some of my more recent stuff I’m actually LS and 6 speed swapping the bird now!
Can’t believe you sold this piece of junk :(

You should look into getting the formula hood or the transom turbo-hood it looks way better than that ugly cowl induction Hood. Please upgrade the Brakes factory is Lousy look at the year one 17inch T/A Wheels they look sweet! See if Vintage Air will sponsor your Hvac system
I had a 1979 Firebird Formula with the black cloth T/A interior and dash yellow and grey lower with fake ram air hood could have converted into a functional ram air style.
I'm not going to criticize your work cause I'm not a mechanic but I would be more careful with those spark plug coils. Unplug them before you take them out. Keep on keeping on Bro

I would suggest you mention torque specs for future tutorials. A beginner might overtighten the bolts and they will have a very bad day aftewards.Get a decent torque wrench guys! Especially for enginework!
Definitely a good idea! I’ve strayed away from direct tutorials and now mostly focus on building my own cars with little tips or tricks mentioned throughout the video, but if I do make any more tutorials I will definitely mention torque specs!
Hi Nick, after 4 years, how has this repair held up for you? I have a 2004 accord with a leaky valve cover gasket and wanted to know if your repair worked well or if there is any changes or tips that you could give me. Great video btw.
Hey! I can’t believe I didn’t see this comment. It held up great for the 20k miles or so I put on it before I sold it. Then the next owner blew the car up after not putting oil in it. But, if you follow the video well, use some bond in the corners, it should last years!
Junk
Thanks! Is that square body that looks like it got taken to pound town by a Kia Soul any better?
Not safe kid
F in dirt bike fools
Just so y'all know these accords come in sulev and non sulev I can never find a cold air intake install on one that's non sulev my air ox does not have that sensor on it
Or a 73 firebird back half tubed cage fuel cell gonna put a 496 stroker after its build is complete. It has one of those drag race spoilers on it going to remove that and put an original firebird spoiler back on it and the front clip is fiber glas and has no headlights gonna put head lights in it and make the car street legal even though the car is already set up for the drag strip.
Hey that’s awesome! Every street is the drag strip if you don’t care!
@@OlsonAuto oh yeah, the road has been my drag strip since I obtained a drivers license, OHP know me by name!! 😂
I have the same honda accord with over 400k and runs very well. This car was built to last.
Absolutely! These things are tanks. I now drive an 05 crv for my daily, same engine, and just yesterday hit 230k miles!
