looks like she's pretty low. what kind of suspension you got on there? or do you have a lip in the front?

[Filthy Dub]

Where'd those rims come from?

[.akord96.]

Yea its got a front lip on it. It was sitting on cheap slip-on coilovers but i couldnt take the bounce anymore so its on cut factories now. Im saving up to buy a full coilover kit now tho. I think im going to go with a set of K-sport.
I got the wheels off a buddy in columbus. They are 18in Tenzo's.

[carguy07]

i know those rims now, they were on the blue s13 coupe. and i still love the stance of your car. i dream of taking my kids to school in something that clean, hopefully it won't be anytime soon though. :D

[jasonball]

they look good

[.akord96.]

yea they were on the 240. I traded my wheels with brand new tires for them cause luke needed fresh tires to drive home with. He should be getting another 240 in about a month.

[.akord96.]

So, im trying to decide on a color to paint the accord... so what do you guys think :
Yellow, Black, Dark gunmetal. ???

[BlazinAzian]

I'm feeling balck or the dark gunmetal.

[drewyoutoo]

gunmetal X2

[StevenSTi]

its got a good stance, i like

[Filthy Dub]

I'm always a fan of black or dark gray.

[taxiv]

car looks great
hate to say it, but i agree with jim, gunmetal

[.akord96.]

Thanks guys. I think a dark gunmetal would be good 2.

Once i get paint, suspension, new tires, window tint and clean it up, ill be done with it.
cause im saving for my F20B/H22A build that im starting this spring. :)

[Kevo]

Find a high quality pic of the car and someone could possibly do a chop!

[drewyoutoo]

I want an H22!!! :P

[corby_baby]

nice car man.

[.akord96.]

Well, i guess ill just make this my thread for the car. Anyways, ordered a Front driver side window motor, so now i need the rear one and sunroof. My buddy told me the starter is goin bad, but he is having it rebuilt. The suspension is shot to shit. Another buddy of mine recommended Ground Control coilovers with Koni shocks. Also working on seats, cause both front seats are FuKed!
Anyways, tax time cant get here soon enough.
Next check im getting the other window motor and some interior parts, ill ask him to take pics of the progress for me and ill post em up.

[BlazinAzian]

Man, I can't wait for taxes. I feel ya. good luck on the build.

[.akord96.]

Well, filed my taxes. Just waiting for them to get back so i can pay some shit off and fix my wifes car then mine.
I bought the Driver side front and rear window motors and my buddy is installing them.
Im buying the sunroof motor on the first. Once i get taxes back im gonna get a set of seats, new tires, and then suspension will be last. Then all i will really need is paint. Then im gonna start doing motor work after that. So, im getting my buddy to send me pictures of everything and ill put em up :p

[carguy07]

i look forward to seeing the progress.

[Filthy Dub]

Wow...long time, best of wishes man.

[BlazinAzian]

Stay safe over there man.

[.akord96.]

Ok, soooo. Got a few pics, im still waiting on my boy to upload the pics of all the mods he has installed.
So far ive got new Koni shocks up front, i replaced the strut tower assembly parts with brand new OEM stuff, cause all the bushings were worn out.
All the window motors were replaced and work properly. The sunroof motor was replaced and now works. Seats were fixed, (but im still looking for a nice set of grey clothe seats) New Starter was put on, NRG Steering wheel + Short Hub + Quick Release was installed. My buddy is going to redo all the Audio wiring and install a flip out DVD screen. Coilovers are being ordered today. Next mods are going to be redo the brakes. Any suggestions on good brakes?? My buddy is getting all the small interior parts i need as well.
I also gotta get a new set of tires. Anyways, here are a few pics. ill give some more whenever he decides to post them up.

I need me a buddy like that! Ask him if he wants to adopt. :D Talk about coming home to a clean house, I bet you can't wait plop down in that driver's seat. Stay safe man.:)

Oh, forgot all about the brakes. Unless you've just got money to burn I wouldn't mess with any high dollar systems. You just looking for bigger rotors and better pads or are you changing callipers/lines/cylinder too?

[.akord96.]

Nothing big man, just rotors and pads probably. The car will be making a trip to WA from GA in october so i wanna do the brakes, clutch and a good tune up.

hey, I noticed that there was a build section on here.. can someone move this Thread there?

Done. Thanks for the heads up.

[.akord96.]

well hey there... soo i havent done shit to the car in quite some time now. Bills ya know, they kill me. Anyways, im out of Iraq in 3 weeks headed to kuwait, then ill be stateside around first of sept. Depending on the weather (snow) in october, i will go to GA and get the accord. The trip is gonna take a lot of money, not to mention im buying a glock in GA once i get there. The only things im going to do is put new tires on the car, change the oil, put new pads on. IF i have the money and time i might put a new factory clutch in. Im in the process of a move in WA right now, trying to get a house with a closed in garage. Sooo, once that happens, ill start doing more to the car. Anyways, first things first, once i get home to the states, Im gonna have me a few beers and spend some time with the wifey and kids. So im looking at around Feb and march doing a lot to the car.
Anyways, thats bout it, hope yall are doing good.

[carguy07]

good to hear from you man. get home safely.
