enjoy :)
i haven't swapped the prop valve or m/c & booster yet, which causes the rear brakes to lock up instead of the front ones when you slam the brakes. i'll swap all them when i do the engine bay makeover :D
Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL
Wow man. A serious amount of work you're getting done so quick.
Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL
thank you :)
today i pulled off the front panels & got the motor ready for removal. also started removing the loom, but then had to plug it back in so i could move the car, because i don't like pushing cars

Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL
well if the chassis number says what i think it does, being number 30 ca5 off the line, keep it stock just for history.
if i had ca3-1000030, i'd keep it stock as eh.
very nice find dude
Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

2.0 = A20A (cause they normally come with a A18A), M = Vigor (Accord would be E, and Accords with fixed headlights would be G, so it goes EXL, GXL, MXL, etc..), XL is basically just a LX like your guys cars.

Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL
lucky me, i went into my wire pile and got out this unmolested 2.0Si loom. it's wired for ABS & digital climate controls. The ABS wiring is good cause I can use those wires for other car features instead of running my own wires. WIN WIN WIN

funny how it says ca5 number 30 yet there were 2348952 ca5 accords made before it in prefacelift, i dunno how that works to be honest. maybe that is JDM only as a20a motors only came in japan in facelift cars. and edm/usdm ca5's have their own chassis number thats different.
good to see the POS motors out. lol your fuel line holes tidier than mine!
Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL
lol my last efi line i hammered heaps of holes with nails and bashed it out, that was hory as fuck. i assume that these chassis numbers are specific to jdm cars. i've never seen a factory prefacelift ca5 jdm accord before. this car must be a 87 unless they didn't start making the ca5s till 88
Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL
Do u sell these cars? u must go thru alot of them, your yard is the like the Dream version of Pick a part LOL!
