10/19 Orlando mini meet... *56k beware!*

[Jareds 89 LX-i]

Well Kissimmee to be exact.... Dennis and his wife, Vinny, and myself met up and hung out for a bit. It was fun! The hatchy is sooo sweet, and Vinny is a really nice guy too!

So how many Accords can you fit in one driveway anyways??

[ICEMAN707]

hey dennis is the hatch yours? are you "guaynabo89"? if so, awesome hatch bro! i live in kissimmee too. we should hang out sometime. i always have room for new friends. where did you have your upholstery done? the job on those seats is awesome and i've been trying to find a good upholstery shop around here if i have to fork out $500 to get it done. i see you used racing seats, how did you modify the brackets? and those brakes, ooooh, awesome job on those. congrats on a nice hatch. it truly is one of a kind. the engine looks better than any 3gee i've seen. what's the fuel rail you are using? my sedan will be done soon with custom bodykit and 03 lexus pearl white/chrome flakes paintjob. it's nice to know we're representing 3geez to the fullest. :super:

[3rd GEN]

[BITESIZE]

Guaynabo, more pictures of that nice looking wing...you bitch!

[BITESIZE]

[BITESIZE]

P.S.S I'M HELLA JEALOUS!!! What kind of seats are those?

[myaccord7]

zach

[Vinny]

well I had a great time it was good to finally meet Jared and Dennis both. The Hatch is AWESOME, the hard work, time and money invested in it have definitely paid off. I coulda sworn Jared took more pictures than that :lol It was a good lil get together. Looks like I'll be going back down again here soon, I think we can fit another accord in the driveway :D

[89AccordLvr]

how u get those nice rear seats is that leather or what cause or upholstered?

[87accordlxi]

ooooh I like those rims on the hatch!

[HostileJava]

Looks like alot of fun, the hatch looks awsome.

[markmdz89hatch]

as always Dennis, Love that hatch.

[guaynabo89]

Thanks for all the positive comments guys.:D

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.:lol

The fuel rail I had custom made after the Holley fuel rail. So its basicly the same shape except its made to fit the a20 manifold.


The seats I had redone at one of the local upholstery shops in this area.

Iceman:


I looked around and the cheapest anyone would do all the seats and panels in a hatch was like 750 and truthfully the quality wasn't that great.

I used the original seat brackets chopped em up added some brackets that would bolt up to the racing seats. Alot of measuring and test fitting to get it right, but inthe end it was worth it.


If I get a new camera I'll make sure I post alot of spoiler pics for you there BITESIZE.

[RobT5580]

guaynabo89, I like the hood that way and that would be the only way i would put one on mine car since im going white. But your hatch looks very good and i see your sony CDX-C90 remote. I like mine so far other than the poor FM reception and the face could be a little more solid.

[blazin3gen]

god damn nice cars i love em! and that is one bad ass hatch!!

[89AccordLvr]

check ur pms guaynabo

[Accord7SE_i]

WHAT TYPE OF SEATS ARE THEY!!!

I just wish the lcd screen was alot brighter. I love the remote though. Especially where I have it cause the shifting hand always sits there anyway.

I have a question for you.

Does your headunit change the subwoofer croosover points?

I could have sworn you could change the cut off frequency of the sub channel but now I can't figure it out. By looking at the owners manual it looks like you can only do it with an add on crosover.

The seats are the D.A.D. brand. They are good quality seats. THe only thing that makes them sell so cheap ( bout 500 a pair) is the material they come with. Its like a tweed and gets fuzzys all over it.

The same seats in suede cost like 800 a pr I think.

There a good seat to buy if all you want them for is to reupholster them, which is why I got them.

By the way these seats fit nice and tight, and the thing is they are wider than the courbeau A4's and the Spaarco Torinos (the regular ones that is)

Sparco makes two types of Torinos one for skiny people and one for the American market. The American Marke one is much W-I-D-E-R

[Vinny]

Nope he's gone went back home and didn't say bye, the sorry ass bastage. And worst part is he didn't sellme his jdm side markers b4 he left. J/K John, glad to see your still alive and happy at home

[ICEMAN707]

Hey Dennis, if you ever sell any parts off the hatch or sell the car entirely, I better be first in line! HAHA, yeah right, everyone in this board would be fighting me for it.

[guaynabo89]

Nah....... no selling of parts for me thank you!:D

I can't sell the car yet I have to see how much whp can be had out of the a20 motor.:werd:

If he knew how long you've had the Hatch and all you put into it and been through with it......You think he would have even asked that question?????????

[ICEMAN707]

Yeah bro, get what you can out of that motor and let me know. How does the MSD and the fuel rail combo work for you? Noticeable increase? So far in mine I have custom 90-93 integra intake, DC sports headers, Catco freeflow cat, custom 2.25" piping split to two 1.5" dual exhaust pipes and so far I got substancial power on the mid to top range. I still have to add more fuel and spark to compensate for the increased airflow. I can't believe this car only has 120hp to start with. It's pretty quick for only that much power. If only we had DOHC VTEC for top end power. But the low end is pretty good on these cars. I would say its about the same as the Probe GT 170hp 2.5L V6 I had before. Except that once you get to the 95's-100mph's the 3gee doesn't seem to wanna pull anymore. Need more top end!!! Hehe.

Yeah but everyone probably thinks I'm like 18-19 years old too.:lol

AS far as gains of the fuel rail there are none. Its just a part in preperation for whats to come.;)

The msd smoothed out the engine response a little but not anything which would be adding horsepower.

[Vinny]

You know that probably true, they'd quit talkin to you if they knew you were almost as old as me.

You'd loose SOOOO many cool points you'd barely be ahead of the guy in the baggy jeans and wife beater that was throwing the stroller :lol

haha i was just kidding bro. with all the time and money put into that car, i wouldn't sell it either. our cars no longer has any market value, just sentimental value.(tears) :*) hehe.

[guaynabo89]

Unfortunately that is very true. If I was going to trade in my car I'd probably only get like 1500 for it. Mind you its in mint condition.:lol

[ICEMAN707]

Not to mention cheap insurance and runs hell of alot better than any 80's car I've seen. Well, at least mine is, but looks like yours is too. Every boy's gotta have a toy right?

[SiR]

My deepest apoligize for not attending the party at your house. Please tell you wife I'm very sorry, but for sure, i cant miss the next party! Man, just thinking about the food you guys made, and the cake!!!...oh man....(can't wait for the pizza to come knocking at my door soon!)

No fear, the evil black accord will show itself again!

[ICEMAN707]

yeah i can't wait for my first meet. my car is almost done. i got the bodykit to fit flawlessly on the car. with tons of fiberglassing, filling, plastic bondo, and sanding/grinding. i expected this much work anyways even if the kit was made for this car. all bodykits have to be prepped and grinded in some way or another. they never come perfect and there are always flaws you have to fix yourself. but the result is like a totally different car. which is what i was going for. i wanted to create a car that not many people would recognize. i wanted to be original.

i took it for a drive today to have the twin mufflers installed on the BW rear bodykit and people were asking what kind of car it was. finally i broke down the news and told them it was an old accord. they couldn't believe it. this one girl thought it was a new car that just came out this year....haha. i don't blame her. not many girls are really into cars as much as guys do. all they care about is that it looks good and it runs.

anyways, all it needs now is paint. very expensive pearl white from 2003 lexus cars. seems to be on order for a week or so. i only drove it once to have the mufflers done. but it's going back in the shop again. i would say early december (hopefully) everything should be done and i will have pics. as much as i want it to get done fast, i want them to take their time so they will do a great paintjob and cover all the door jams, underhood, trunk, etc. i wouldn't wanna have all my time and work i did on the kit wasted on a bad paintjob. i took pics of the car with the kit on and in primer so you can see how i molded the kit in. just waiting for it to get developed and scanned.

my car is sitting at about 6 inches off the ground, so now i have to be careful where i drive it to. or change the sprint springs to something that would raise it up a bit more. maybe some H&R's or the stock springs cut about 1.5" so i can have the smooth ride back again. these konis and 18 inch wheels ride like it's on rails. harsh yet very responsive. i have to make sure i know the conditions of the roads pretty well. i gotta be careful on those strange/undriven roads. but i am planning to buy a 2nd car--maybe a used jeep cherokee 4.0L for going around town and work. sometime i would have a completely new engine and tranny in the car to have it last another 16 or so years. but for now, the JDM A20A3 i swapped in there 2 yrs ago seems to be doing pretty well. 3GEEZ rules!

ICEMAN707

Make sure you get some pics up. Where'd you go to get your exhaust? roadrunners?

[ICEMAN707]

yeah i went to road runners to have my exhaust done. they are just down the street on michigan ave. from the bodyshop. which is good cus i cut off my stock muffler to fit the BW rear bodykit on and it was very loud without it. the guy who did it only charged me $85 for cat-back duals. 2.25" piping to two 1.5".

and for the sprint springs, i'll let you know if i want to get rid of them. i only had the rear bodykit on when i drove it, so i'm not sure how the full kit is like when driving out on the streets--whether too low or whatnot.

[wikkedv15]
