Looking Good Rob.. Car looks very clean.. How low is ur car ? How about a nice pic of the block number for the kiddies.. Good Luck..

Damn...that's one of the nicest paint jobs on any car, nonetheless a 3g. Well done...looks hella good! :)

[Justin86]

Damn that is a nice color. I can't wait to hear your racing stories when you get the B20 in.

[2old_honda]

What color is that? It is damn nice. Leave it exactly the way it is, no stickers, no wings, no gay paint jobs, no rice. It will be a awesome sleeper.

[YK86]

Lookin' good Rob! That block looks familiar LOL. Good to hear you finally got it. Did you have to pay any duty or anything?

[RobT5580]

Thanks again Yasu for helping me pull this together. The wheels are Racing Hart C2s and they were $990 shipped. The paint is not factory its lighter with metalic but its how i bought it. The car is in pretty good shape body wise except the hood has stone damage. I am planning to paint it white when the time comes even though im starting to like my paint now. I have a 1.5 drop but i need more in the front so im gonna try some new springs. Thanks Guys for the comments.

Nice, nice. But ugh, I never liked looking at coupes from the side like that. Maybe it's just me who doesn't like that view.

Looks good, with the new motor the front should sit lower since the new motor will be heavier then the A20, so forgo the springs until it's in, but the car looks good and the rims are nice, I've always been a fan of Racing Hart...

[RobT5580]

Actually the B20A is much lighter than the A20A since its aluminum. I like the look of the car now but its not what i had intended but good body work is not cheap so its stayed red for the past year. Also i wanted different wheels but it was not long after my other accord was almost stolen so i tried to keep it low cost just in case.

Oh Yasu, No they didnt charge me duties suprisingly. The even asked for my VIN # and they cleared it so obviously they didnt check my VIN because they would have noticed the engine code didnt match.

what are the dementions on the rims? I'm so glad you posted that pic, i've been waiting to see what those rims look like on a 3g i'm thinking about getting those rims myself.

[RobT5580]

They are 17X7.5 with Nitto NT555 205/40-17 Tires. I like the rims a lot for the lip and the width and the price wasnt all that bad. But i will say polished wheels are really easy to scratch. I am very meticulous about cleaning my stuff and they get a lot of buildup that doesnt come off or very easily. They scratch very easy and im not talking curb damage cause i have yet to hit a curb with any rims. But i like the way they look on the car on the red but when i paint the car i will probably go with white on white (maybe the racing hart CR's).

[87lxi accord]

i found a package for 4 17 inch racing hart c2's with tires for 750, quite a deal :-)

[adams86lxi]

I like it!!!!:)

[bobafett]

i am anxiously awaiting your slips! :)

[Mike89Accordcom]

Coupes are badass. Looks good Rob!

[87lxi accord]

hey, when you do get new rims for the white on white, u think you'll be sellin the racing hart c2's? if so i might be interested, i i can get em lower than the package price i found (4 rims 4 tires 750$)

[adams86lxi]

What size are those rims? I love them!!! They are racing hart c2?:) Never mind I found wheir you said their size.

[bobafett]

rob what are you goals in the 1/4 with this car?

[87lxi accord]

I was wondering if you were gonna sell those racing hart rims when you go with the white on white, i'm interested if I can get them for less that the packag price i found, (4 rims 4 tires 750$)

[RobT5580]

To be honest guys i went overboard because its all for myself and dont really care to impress others with my car. I wanted to do a high compression N/A setup but the bottom end was about 3k to do what i wanted. I was really into turbo's before but my need for speed was lost after seeing a kid die right in front of my house last november while racing his friend. But i make my own choices so the track will be my race time not on the streets. But im all about doing things right so im doing it nicely and with all good components. So as far as times i saw an A20A running 12's with about 22psi so i would guess 12-15's cause im keeping my interior and stuff but we will have to see what the B20A can do. Im not sure when its gonna be done but im working on it so i will keep posting my progress as i go.

And for the wheels i will not sell them since i have 2 cars and hopefully a newer daily driver later on in the year. I dont like loosing money and they would still be usefull to me. Sorry

[bobafett]

yeah i totally understand about not wanting to race except on the track. i wont street race, its worth $20 a night to race in a controlled environment

[87lxi accord]

no problem, worth checkin up on
