Thyfire: I am sure that the brake disks are the same in european/usdm models for 1st gen Accords.

Goood luck!

hey, dude. I love you.

I was thinking of buying these

Anyone have the parts number just in case?

Hope their pictures aren't representative of the disc rotors. -5 stud!

You will also need new front wheel bearings when you get the front hubs/knuckles pressed apart to fit the discs.

You're awesome! I found a Honda part catalog, which gives me the drawings but not the parts number. What do you use?

I have a copy of the original parts catalog, from where i pick the part numbers, but i am sure there is a page with drawings and parts #.

I was able to replace my front rotors without pulling the wheel bearings. I simply undid the spindle nut on the front, and attached a hub puller with a slide hammer. The hub pulled right out, and to get it back together, I put the axle through the hub and used the spindle nut to tighten it back down slowly to let everything seat, until I could feel no movement from the hub to the spindle. Then I loosened the spindle nut and tightened it back to spec.

Tha slide hammer is a GOOOOD tool to have, gosh i want one. But surely enough, the hub system in our cars is crappy

, thank god they solved that in the later models.

Dude, I'll give you $60 and a case for that interior! Nice find! Last place I called, to see if they had any Gen1's sitting around, told me that he figured they were all forks and knives by now...jerk.

Thyfire · 01-19-2010, 03:03 PM

Hi again guys.
Been a while.
The Honda is almost done now, body-wise, going to paint on Saturday.

Was there today, took some pictures. All done with the bondo, just a matter of sanding and making it ready paint.

Phat car (without the fender)

Overview of the damage side

Close ups

Look guys, I got myself a shelf

My rims. With slicks.

*2ndGenGuy* · 01-19-2010, 03:13 PM

Welcome back! Glad you are still around to give us updates! Car is looking great, and can't wait to see it all finished up and in a fresh coat of shiny paint! Those bronze wheels should look pretty killer!

Hazwan · 01-19-2010, 03:16 PM

Progress is looking good!

Civic Accord Honda · 01-19-2010, 03:32 PM

win!!

Ichiban · 01-19-2010, 03:48 PM

Those hatches, especially that black one, look so badass. I'm convinced Honda was influenced by '70s Mopar cars when designing the front end of the Accord. My '81 looked like it could be my buddy's '71 Challenger's little brother.

eduardo i. · 01-19-2010, 04:19 PM

What kind of front lip is that? Props, car will look really nice

SZfiftyfour · 01-19-2010, 06:22 PM

Cool, welcome back. This thing is gonna be outstanding when its done

. Looks like you sprung for the deluxe shelving unit too. I dunno if you'll ever fill up all that shelf space...

Agreed Mike, they totally look like baby challengers.

Still going strong, paint on Saturday!
